Sudah menjadi lumrah semulajadi manusia untuk menilai seseorang berdasarkan paras rupa dan pakaian mereka. Ya, kita semua lakukan, contohnya seperti ketika melihat lelaki berambut warna unggu dan bertindik di hidung, orang berpakain baju mahal berjenama, atau wanita pakai seluar jeans terlalu ketat.

Kita biasanya menilai seseorang melalui penampilan mereka. Jadi apa bezanya dengan penemuduga anda? Mereka juga manusia seperti anda anda ada penilaian tersendiri. Mereka ada sifat ini.

Jika anda datang temuduga dengan pakaian yang biasa yang anda pakai di rumah, jadi persepsi penemuduga mungkin anda lebih baik duduk sahaja dirumah daripada datang berkerja di syarikat mereka. Jika rambut dan muka anda kelihatan serabut tidak terurus, mereka beranggapan fikiran anda juga serabut tak terurus dan anda tidak sesuai dengan suasana kerja.

Sudah tentu mereka tidak akan beritahu yang mereka tidak suka dengan penampilan anda dan apa yang anda pakai. Tapi itu akan menganggu fikiran mereka, kemudian bila anda dirasakan tidak sesuai, mereka akan pilih calon lain yang kod pakaian mereka lebih baik. 

Jadi berhati-hati dengan penampilan dan pakaian ada semasa temuduga. Pastikan ada sediakan diri anda supaya penemuduga "jatuh hati pada pandangan pertama". (bukan seksi menjolok mata)

Ingat ini - minda separa sedar penemuduga percaya yang penampilan luaran anda melambangkan keperibadian diri anda. Jadi lihat penampilan harian anda dan apakah personaliti anda? Cari ruang yang boleh diperbaiki dan anda akan temui rahsia besar kepada cara interview yang baik.

Salam kejayaan.

Employers like to feel special. They prefer to hire candidates who want to work for them rather than any other company. Being able to talk about the reasons you want to join this particular organisation is a way of making yourself stand out from most of the crowd.

At a minimum, you should be able to find out answers to the following questions:

■ What sort of business are they in? What services or products does the organisation offer?
■ What are the company’s vision, mission, and values? In other words, what does the organisation aim to achieve and how does it aim to do it?
■ Who are the key people within the organisation? For example, if the chairman, chief executive, or any of the directors are well-known figures in the local or international community, make sure you know their names so that you don’t look confused should an interviewer mention them in the discussion.
■ What is the organisation’s strategy for the future? What plans or future investments do they have?

■ Approximately how many staff does the organisation employ? Are they a very large or a very small employer?
■ Where does the organisation have offices? Is it concentrated in just one location or many locations around the country or even the world?
■ Who are their competitors? What products and services do those competitors offer? How do the products and services of your prospective employer differ from those of its competitors?
■ What are the trends across the industry? What are the main challenges and opportunities facing organisations within this sector?

Rasa gementar semasa temuduga jawatan kosong? Jangan risau! Walaupun calon yang banyak kali hadir sesi temuduga pun mereka masih ada rasa gementar dalam apa juga sesi temuduga.

Tapi awas! Jangan biarkan rasa gementar ini menutupi imej berkualiti anda sebagai seorang yang yakin diri. Kelihatan yakin semasa temuduga adalah salah satu kunci penting yang menjadi pilihan majikan anda untuk memilih anda.

Berikut adalah cara untuk membuatkan anda rasa lebih yakin dalam temuduga:-

Membuat hubungan mata (eye-contact), tiada apa yang magik dalam cara ini, ia memang terbukti berkesan! Lakukan ini - semasa dipanggil, berjalan segak ke arah penemuduga, kemudian hulurkan tangan anda dan lihat ke dalam mata mereka dengan senyuman sambil katakan - "I'm happy to meet you today sir/madam".

Ubah ayat kepada bentuk yang lebih profesional dan lebih positif, walaupun anda ditanya tentang kegagalan anda oleh penemuduga. Contohnya jika anda menyatakan seperti ini “Well, I kind of helped with a project but I didn’t run it myself,” awas! Anda seperti menyatakan "saya tidak layak untuk jawatan ini!".

Sebaliknya cuba katakan seperti ini “I assisted in a very successful project and played a key role in bringing it to completion.” Walaupun maksudnya hampir sama tetapi ia mampu mengubah persepsi penemuduga terhadap anda!

Jika anda jarang menghadiri temuduga atau sudah lama tidak ditemuduga, memang biasanya anda akan gementar. Tetapi semakin banyak sesi temuduga yang anda hadiri, anda akan menjadi lebih yakin untuk sesi akan datang. Ia seperti latihan. Jadi jangan pernah tolak sebarang temuduga kerja kosong!

Ingat! Anda seorang yang hebat, walaupun anda tidak diterima untuk jawatan yang ditawarkan, anda sebenarnya bukan tidak layak! Jika anda tidak layak sudah tentu anda tidak dipanggil temuduga langsung. Ini membuktikan kualiti yang anda ada. Dengan menyedari kualiti dan potensi diri anda sepatutnya akan menjadi yakin secara semulajadi.

Lakukan ini - tanya kepada rakan anda dan ahli keluarga anda, apa kehebatan yang anda ada. Tuliskan dan tampal di bilik anda sifat tersebut. Tahukah anda semakin anda membaca senarai ini, semakin anda menjadi yakin. Ini dipanggil self-programming  dan cara ini adalah terbaik untuk dilakukan.

Selamat mencuba!

Penemuduga suka rasa dihargai dan istimewa. Mereka lebih suka calon yang serius ingin menyertai syarikat mereka berbanding calon yang "suam-kuku" hadir ke temuduga. Kebolehan anda untuk menegaskan sebab mengapa anda ingin menyertai syarikat tersebut akan memberikan anda kelebihan berbanding calon calon yang lain.

Oleh yang demikian, anda wajib tahu 8 perkara tentang syarikat tersebut untuk meningkatkan peluang anda di ambil berkerja.

■ Apa perniagaan yang mereka jalankan? Apakah servis dan produk yang mereka niagakan.
■Apakah visi, misi dan nilai syarikat? Apakah tujuan perniagaan mereka dan apakah cara yang mereka laksanakan?
■ Siapakah orang penting dalam organisasi mereka? Contohnya chairman, chief executive, atau direktor, adakah mereka ahli kenamaan korporat atau artis? Pastikan anda kenal nama mereka.
■ Apakah perancangan masa hadapan syarikat? Dan apakah strategi mereka?

■ Kenalpasti bilangan staf syarikat tersebut. Adakah mereka syarikat berskala kecil, sederhana atau besar?
■ Dimanakah syarikat itu ditubuhkan dan dimana pejabatnya? Adakah ia mempunyai cawangan di negeri lain atau di luar negara?
■ Siapakah pesaing mereka? Apakah produk dan servis pesaing mereka? Apakah keunikan produk syarikat yang anda hadir temuduga berbanding syarikat lain?
■ Apakah trend pasaran semasa bagi perniagaan syarikat tersebut? Apakah cabaran dan peluang yang mereka hadapi dalam industri tersebut?

Semoga dengan 8 perkara ini akan memberika anda kunci masuk ke dalam syarikat yang anda serius untuk ceburi. Selamat mencuba!
