Job Interview Tips for Fresh Grads-Part 3

Tricky Questions
Some interviewers in bigger MNC like to ask tricky questions.
Tricky questions are those seen okay to answer without deep thinking. (ha ha ha. I hate this deep thinking things, but they are vitals for recruiting capable leaders)
 
Q: Are you trainable and willing to learn new things?. Your background is in Electrical, what if we give you Mechanical job?
(Real Meaning: Are you adaptable to changes or you are a stagnant kind of person?)
A: Yes, I am willing to learn whatever new skills required to perform better in organization.
(Wrong Answer: I prefer to work in Electrical field because I applied for that position.)
 
Q: How  do you feel about cultural diversity? (WTH!!)
(Real Meaning: How do feel about working in a multi-ethnics organization?)
A: I feel that diversity make us stronger and harmonized. A good balance of ethnics groups, is useful when its come to doing overtime during annual celebrations, Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali etc.
(Wrong Answer: I don't prefer to work with "tuttttt" people. They are lazy bumps.
 
Q: Are you comfortable working with lady boss?
(Real meaning: Are you practicing gender discrimination?)
A: Ladies are more detail and thorough in their work. I can learn from them.
(Wrong Answer: I prefer men as my boss. Ladies are too fussy.)
 
Q: How would you react if you have been scolded for the mistake done by your subordinate?
(Real Meaning: Do you take full responsibility for mistake done by your subordinate?)
A: I will check actual place, actual parts and actual problem to analyse and determine root cause. Then, with the help from my team, I will come up with proper PDCA. (Deming Cycle, plan, do, check, act)
(Wrong answer: I will punish those responsible for the mistake.)
 
There you go. Good luck, have a pleasant and confident interview sessions ahead. After all efforts on preparation part has completed, you guys must also say your prayer. Thats the true meaning of 'tawakkal'. "Berusaha & Berdoa"
