Sri Ramani K. 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2007 i agree with Izanee there, but please, don't just replicate someone else's work. it'll be nice if you used that only as a reference and come up with your own one. furthermore, your cover letter doesn't have to be so bombastic. good luck Yohan!

Izanee 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) congratulations Yohan. i hope you get the job, insyaAllah. some tips - dress smartly. wear a suit. cut your hair. look smart. sit forward, look interested. don't slouch. don't fidget. first impressions count. what you say early on will make a difference. sometimes its too late if you do a comeback later on in the interview as some people already have made their minds up - or switched off completely. be enthusiastic. know why you want the job and why you want to work for SQ. know about SQ and the job. make sure that THEY know you REALLY really want the job. think of important questions they may ask you. i'm not the best person on that - so ask around - leech etc etc. who are already SQ pilots. think of answers to the common questions. need to be prepared and not look like rabbits caught in headlights when they ask you something. also think of reasons WHY they should pick YOU rather than anyone else. you don't always have to come up with an amazing or unique answer - the important point is that you say it with enthusiasm, confidence and sincerity. Just relax and be yourself. Good luck and you'll do fine. Hope you find this helpful. LAST OF ALL - PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!

tsentsan 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) good luck.. you might want to think abt flying to PEN instead of driving, cos I'm sure the drive + the jam (i understand road north of Rawang is single lane) will tire u out unncessarily....

I say you should be out not later than 8.30am. I assume the journey from KL to PEN without speeding should take about four and half hours, I have included the 15 minutes of break at R&R stops. The jam at Penang Bridge is really unpredictable, one accident might cause the whole bridge traffic crawling. Oh yeah .. Google Maps is very detailed about the roads, I might help you to locate it. Edit: Go to google maps, type in Traders Hotel, Penang. Click on the first search result n it will bring you straight to Jalan Magazine. It is pretty near to Weld Quay(Penang Jetty). Be very careful of the one way street roads at GeorgeTown. Edited December 13, 2007 by Loh Wilson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
