i am just so curious how the interviewers make their selection for the self intro rounds...???

through my 4 attempts, i seen gals who are very pretty, confident and can speak well but is not selected... and gals who are average looking... seems pretty nervous during self intro and they were selected... hmm... ...

i personally feel that first impression counts... the very very very first impression you gave to the interviewers will some how like decide whether u will be going home or proceed to the next round...

i have read about many ppl saying that is about luck... do u gals agree???
its all about luck??? if the interviewers like u... congrat! if not... too bad!
if that so... then i think its very !@#$%^&*( lor... but... wat to do... they are never lack of gals to choose from... haiz...

so i guess... beside having a sweet pleasant smile... confident yet humble... able to speak well and can present yourself well... another super duper important factor is to make sure the interviewers like u! muahahaha...

do u feel comfortable in that dress??? u feel good??? if u feel good... confident and comfortable in that dress... then i think it shud be fine... looking executive is sure better then looking sloppy or uncomfortable... maybe tonite u can go home and try wearing that dress... and look into the mirror and see how u feel about it lor... can even ask ur family members for opinion? keke...

anyway, is this ur lst time trying?

i was booted out becoz of the my complexion too! keke... that time, i did'nt noe how the skin check was done... and after the long waiting

... my make-up oredi melt off liao!!! everything happen so fast for me that day... i did'nt have time to touch up my make up at all...
wats more, there isn't any mirror in the room... i cud'nt see how i look like in the kebaya... my make up and stuffs... keke... and my hair was in a mess!!! muahaha... my hair is like shoulder length... can't really tie up neatly... the side and fringe was falling all over my face... lolx...

i was called back twice for the skin check!!! the beautician and the lady who check our postures...walkings... hands and neck was "debating" among themselves whether anot to pass me... i was practically standing there in between the spot lights... smiling awkwardly like a idiot for the whole process while they were making the decision... but... haiz... in the end... u noe... i noe wat happen la...

yeah... this time round must really conceal the flaws properly... and make sure the make up is neat and even at all times...!!! but thats provided i can pass the self intro round which i only manage to pass once out of my 4 attempts! kekeke...

Hey all.

Don't worry about it. It will be a breeze if you all don't get too nervous and just be humble yet confident! It is true that luck plays a factor. Hopefully there are not too much "good" people in the same group as you. Pls update us after the interview!!
