Never have i thought finding a job is more difficult than doing my FYP + thesis..
My friend attended an interview and it was so stressful that my friend's confidence went rupturing. The interviewers did not ask anything related to your field. In stead questions on your common sense were asked. Their main objective was to attack the candidates' self-confidence and to observe the choices and decisions the candidates were making.
Over 500 people sent their resumes, but only 70+ people were selected to undergo the first phase of the interview. The first phase only consisted of some easy questions and psychological tests. So it was pretty easy. From the first phase, only 20+ people were selected for the second phase. Second phase of the interview consisted of a "so-call game". 4 person would be grouped together to solve group assignments.
Questions like this would be asked:
"If there were 8 people (doctor, an old woman, engineer etc etc) in a flight that is about to crash, and there were only 7 parachutes left, who's supposed to sacrifice him/herself and why?"
The interviewers will not accept answers like "2 person sharing one parachute"...
Group members would be fighting among themselves to answer to gain a "good impression". (Imagine the pressure here - you have to be fast and logical in thinking). There was no specific answer for any problems given as long as your answers are logical. Sounds easy right? BUT... all the answers given by the candidates were doubted and countered by the interviewers. Not even one person's answer was acknowledged. At this point, the candidates' confidence would be slowly crushed to the extend where they felt like giving up in the middle.
One good news was my friend successfully went through the interview and was one of the lucky 10 who was offered for the post. I should say she was STRONG and CAPABLE.
