Interview JPA

Assalamualaikum guys :) I should be posting bout JPA's iv waktu bulan April but Im so lazy and yaa sekarang baru dapat hidayah nak share pengalaman ni utk rujukan/persediaan anak2 muda di masa akan datang. Let's keep this simple !

First of all, kalau diminta berpakaian baju sukan, jangan gelabah. Takde ujian kecergasan pun, ini hanyalah utk keselesaan.

Next, sediakan salinan dokumen yg diminta dengan lengkap. Bawaklah salinan dan juga yg asal.

So, first task, kita akan diletakkan dalam kumpulan 5/6 orang. Di situ, ada 3 interviewers. Mereka akan tanya soalan dan semua diberikan peluang utk menjawab soalan itu. Jika ditanya dlm english, jawab dalam english dan begitulah sebaliknya.

First question I got is "Apakah usaha kamu utk menerapkan semangat patriotik dlm kalangan generasi muda?" So I started mumbling bout how I love the idea of Faizal Tahir writes song bout Negaraku, which youngsters nowadays singing it everywhere I go and, I'd love if more superstars could be that creative. Maybe through movie too, like Leftenan Adnan and so on.

Then, second question is "Adakah berbaloi utk terus menghantar pelajar ke luar negara sedangkan Malaysia mengalami kegawatan kewangan?" Basically, everyone say yes bcoz those students akan pulang dengan kejayaan yg bakal memajukan negara, menyumbang kpd pendapatan jangka panjang. I tried to be creative by saying those students in overseas jd wahana utk memperkenalkan Malaysia kpd orang luar. I mean, why not? People is always curious bout students from other countries, they'll be curious bout us, bout Malaysia, the people, the culture, the food, the spectacular scenery. By that, possibility bilangan pelancong ke Malaysia akan meningkat, so pendapatan negara juga meningkat.

Lastly, "Apakah pengalaman pahit yg mematangkan awak?" Story time! I flashback to form3 where I struggled a lots trying to seimbangkan kokurikulum dan akademik. During trial, my result is so bad, i even failed a subject. After that, I stopped with outclass activities and focus on studies and Alhamdulillah I managed to get 8A's during PT3. Of course, with the help of friends and teachers.

TIPS: BE THE EARLIEST PERSON TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

Next activity, we sat in a group again, of 6 people. This time, we were given a title to discuss bout it and present it later. My group got title "Malaysia as educational hub." So we were given 10-15 minutes to discuss the points and then we need to present it. Later on, the interviewers will ask question personally according to your point. So, I present bout the top universities in Malaysia, those with splendid worldwide ranking (UM, UKM, UPM, USM).

 They tend to ask me "Despite the good qualities for those universities, ada tak kekurangan yg perlu ditambahbaik?" So I was trapped sbb I dah cerita panjang lebar tentang kehebatan universities tu and now saya dipaksa menyatakan kekurangannya. I don't really remember what my answer is since ianya berterabur so yaa, r.i.p me :')

TIPS: JANGAN CAKAP TERLALU LAMA WAKTU PRESENTATION, ANDA AKAN DIMINTA BERHENTI. JAWABLAH SOALAN YG DITUJUKAN KEPADA RAKAN ANDA JIKA DIA TIADA JAWAPAN.

So, result JPA keluar dalam pertengahan May dan bukanlah rezeki saya. I didn't get it but it was a good experience for myself, and to be shared. Sekian.
