quite recently, i went for an interview for jurutera awam j41. i went berpakaian formal (suit). no baju kurung. the reason was because kali ni it was my second time getting interviewed for the post. the 1st time i got interviewed, orang spa tu tegur kenapa pakai baju kurung? tak nampak macam orang yang capable of going to construction site. point taken.
the interview went on for about 20 minutes and i was interviewed by two officers - a jabatan kerja raya (jkr) representative and a kementerian kerja raya (kkr) representative. usually you would get interviewed by a representative from suruhanjaya perkhidmatan awam (spa) but i guess the spa representative couldn't make it on that day.
anyway, the questions were more or less like:
1. apa yang mencabar bila jadi a female engineer and how do you handle it?
2. kalau kontraktor tak dengar cakap kita kat site, what would you do?
3. the terengganu stadium roof collapse. whose fault was it? why?
4. rasuah. how would you face it? if someone offers you a bribe, what would you do? what if it was just a festive hamper?
5. what do you take into account when you want to design a building foundation? how do you design a building foundation?
6. name the types of pavement you know?
7. why do you want this job? why should i hire you?
8. do you plan on furthering your studies?
9. how often do you go to your construction site?
yup, that's all that i can remember. i'm not going to blab about how you should talk, sit and communicate though. the preparing-for-a-job-interview sites has covered all that. hehe. good luck! :)
