Talent is not Enough by 'John Maxwell'. |

Just some tips for those invited for the interview: 1. Pick up your CV, look at it in detail and be sure you can defend everything on it. This is very very very important. The interview will be built around your CV, or at least that is where the questions will start from. 2. Be careful how you answer the questions cos your answers could trigger follow-up questions. This can be to your advantage if you can intelligently direct the course of the interview to your strongest areas. 3. Make sure you know the basics of your discipline. For those in Mechanical, to mention a few area, read briefly (not in-dept) about Pumps (Positive displacement and centrifugal, cavitation, NPSHA, NPSHR (Know the difference between NPSHA and NPSHR), Bernoulli principles), IC engines..etc. 4. You could be asked situational-based questions. The aim of this is to know how you'd react under certain situations. Example: As the head of maintenance team, tell us what you would do when a vital Pump fails??...stuffs like that.. Although there may be more than one correct answer, be sure to keep in mind: Teamwork, Safety and appropriate channel of reporting. For those with experience you can site real situations where you encountered similar challenges and how you resolved it. 5. Prepare for the normal HR questions. Although it is called a technical interview, a HR rep will be in every panel and he/she will ask some questions from the human resource perspective. Again most HR questions can have more than one correct answer, however, your answer should portray you as a person who has the virtues they want. Virtues like: Leadership, Teamwork, discipline, vision, conflict resolution, etc. Questions like: what would you do when you have a great idea that could move the company forward but your boss refutes it? How would you correct your boss when he is wrong and doesn't want your opinion?? At what point should you stop being loyal to your boss?? etc. 6. You have to be bold, confident (or at least hide your fears), maintain good eye contact, elaborate on your answers (cite real examples if possible) and smile and nod gently as often as you can whenever they are talking to you. Most importantly be polite and honest. 7. Finally have a question (or a few) to ask at the end of the interview. You'll be allowed to ask questions if you have any. Asking relevant questions shows interest in the organization and your interviewers. Questions to ask can bother on things you don't know about the refinery, or about the structure of the training, or, if you like, a question you weren't able to answer during the interview. ...Wish you guys the best. |

Banks need to tighten their security cos these fraudsters have found new ways of operating. Two months ago, my first bank account was compromised. I lost around 143k. Up till now I've not been able to get a dime from them. |
Just had mine like 1hour ago. They have a pool of questions from which a topic will be thrown at your group. The main challenge we had was that everyone wanted to talk at the same time. And that kind of affected the organization of the group. |
