Interview session
This scholarship wasn’t my cup of tea, I was thinking of changing to applied chemistry instead of pure chem, due to higher paid and better prospective in the future. This scholarship has the good of it will sponsor all my education fee and giving me 700bucks every month for my personal expenditure and send me to overseas to further my master, but there is a bond later on I hatta work with the government to do research. Government scholarship always will wanna tie us and work with them.
This wasn’t the problem, this morning when I went to the interview, I was told by the interviewer that this was for future lecturer. It was so unfair that government always provide a lot of scholarship to those teachers and lecturers…
I was the first candidate and I had no idea and no experience how a formal interview will it be, my previous experience was just interview for the posts of club. The first part was the group interview, 8 of us from um, all Malay and I was the only Chinese, I can’t really participated in the group discussion because of my poor Malay speaking.
First of all was introducing ourselves, I cant manage to finish my intro due to I kept stopping to think of the Malay words and might be too nervous. Then we were given the current issue about the PBSMi, should the government change the science and math subjects to be taught in Malay? And how is the Malay language gonna sustain without using it. Secondly what is the ways that the intake of university students increases the ratio of country side students? I suggested using 50% academic and 50% skills in Malaysia examination system. And inside the room was freaking cold, gonna freeze inside. The aircon was just behind me, the cold air blew into my backbone I was shivering inside the room. In the end I took a hot tea and hold it in my hand but still shivering nonstop.
Second session was individual which took about 10 to 15 minutes, I was praying they can let me out quickly. They asked me about the scop of lecturers involved… totally blank and dunno how to answer.
2) What is the quality should have in a chemist
3) What if you are offered for this scholarship, will you choose your studies or husband?
4) How are you gonna maintain your result in order to continue getting this scholarship. If you din get good result, you will hatta pay back, are you willing to take the risk?
5) What are the qualities in you?
After my interview session, not a relief came into my mind but headache and sleepy. Hope to get back asap but hatta wait for everyone to finish the interview session. Waiting doing nothing was damm tiring, wanna sleep but cant sleep. My heachache became more and more serious. At 12 when everyone had done, but the bus driver said wait together with the afternoon session to complete only go back together mean hatta wait till 6. No way, I wanna go back to do my homework and report. Then I followed a Malay girl back, but waited for 1 hour plus only her brother came, and go around the kl for another 1 hour, finally I had my lunch at 3 something and got back to hostel at 4. It was really tiring of waiting time to pass. Ended up I found out that basketball practice was on sun night not sat night.
If I would know earlier, I’ll ask my dad to fetch me back at 10 in the morning. An experience of an interview spent so many of my precious times. Besides that, I fall sick result of too tired. Omg, it was really a ‘special’ experience!
