Three Interview Questions

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Very recently I had the opportunity to meet the Group Managing Director of a public listed company somwhere in the vicinity of KL’s Golden Triangle to discuss a gig that may be suitable for us. It was an interesting meeting and my friends, if you are ever going to hang up your towel and jump into that corporate shark pool, here are the three most important questions that you MUST prepare for:

  1. Do you play golf? (I chuckled when I was asked this. Me? Golf? It’s an unlikely combination. I thought of lying and said yes but I couldn’t figure out what is a respectable handicap (20? 30? 130?) so I decided to tell the truth. The man smiled at me sadly.)
  2. Do you hold a position in any political parties? (I swear my iris got bigger just listening to this question.)
  3. What car do you drive? (Note that the question is not do you drive, but rather WHAT car do you drive. Interesting, no?)

Live and learn.
