Hey pongpong, how many in your group got in to the next round? You know, I still don't get the relevance between movies & the job. Maybe it's an aptitude test, or they just want to see how we react to out-of-the-norm qns? Someone enlighten me.

in this kind of interview, luck plays a major part too. criteria wise, there are so much which are laid down in black and white but there are also so many other unknown factors too.

so just head there, be yourself, enjoy the journey and you shall find yourself at your destination. :cool:

the answers do not matter. the self introduction doesn't matter.

it's the way you present yourself. the overall package which can only be determined by the interviewers themselves. :cool:

hey artsan, 3 in my group got through! hehe... is there any answers that the interviewers had on their list when they ask this? what if we answered with a horror movie title. or animation. or a foreign language movie.. haha.. so they will just classify us as horrible? childish? hhaa.. but all of us know that we should stick to some safe movie titles yeah. no matter what question they ask, its just a session for self introduction lah.. 1 of the girl spoke abt why she wanted to join SIA even though the interviewers din ask. she got in! :)

Hey M, thanks. I'll just keep my fingers crossed for 12th's walk-in then. Oh yes, another thing, have you met lanky/skinny male colleagues at SQ? I'm concerned about my weight jeopardizing my chances. :roll:

Hey babes!

Today's interview sequence was a little different.

It went like this:
1. Introduction and answer a question
2. game, 1 - 1
3. skin test + kebaya (i think)

In my first round, me and another girl got in. There were quite a number of groups with 0 people being shortlisted. I got out in the second round. Got to say that I expected it after exiting from the room because I did not answer my scenario based question well. I guess, this is another great experience for me!

I will definitely try again for the walk-in, and ladies! If this is what you really want, please do not give up! (:

(PS. I wore a purple top and grey pants and were one of the first few groups! If anyone here have seen me do say hi! )
One day, I will fly away.

There are but even if there isn't, not going to the interview will represent a mere 0% of success for yourself.
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. -Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

I think the first round is really about the way you speak and the way you present yourself, your appearances and your attire etc. Everyone is entitled to what they like.. so whatever your answer may be, I don't think it will matter that much.

Booted out in 1st round!!!

Post by winzy » Wed, 25 Nov 2009 2:58 pm

Hi all, Just wanna share my experience with the guys here.
I went for my interview this morning. Surprisingly there weren't many guys around. Anyway, nobody from my group got past the 1st group round. Hahaha! I thought 1 or 2 from my group were quite eloquent. The question we got was "tell us your worst customer service experience" Such a simple question but yet I tried to be a smart aleck and this is what I replied "I have never experienced any bad customer service because I always believe that when you treat others with respect and a smile, others will in return treat you with respect and a smile. And therefore, I have always receive great customer service whether I am in restaurants, shops or the supermarkets."
LOL... next time I should just come up with a politically right answer.

I think some questions are hard! I probably will not be able to answer this question properly as well. Sometimes, it really depends on a lil luck as well.

hahaha... yeah. I but guess they weren't looking for the right answers. I tried to have eye contact with the interviewers and there were 3 of them. And the one in the middle looks so grouchy and stern. We all wondered if she is being forced to conduct this interview or if she's constipated. LOL
