Interview MARA PILN 2012 Versi Saya

MARA interview was all about thinking, talking, discussing, debating, concluding, answering questions, being provoked, being saiko-ed and laughing. yes. so chill out, what cha yelling for, lay back, it has all been done before~ pe tetiba lagu avril ni.

betul, cilek sudah. aku prepare apa pun tak kecuali pagi tu lepas mandi rasa bertanggungjawab sikitlah nak prektis kan. macam tak menghargai peluang je dibiarkan begitu sahaja pergi melenggang tanpa ilmu di dada. aku pun prektis bercakap. duduk hadap laptop tengok balik draft FAQ yang aku dah buat sebelum first interview dulu. padahal aku tau interview Mara takde soalan camtu, cuma nak biar otak bergerak so tak berkerak sangat kang tergagap-gagap lak. bacela jugak sikit pasal Mara. takde pun prektis depan cermin. penat ah berdiri depan cermin tengok muka sendiri, kalau hensem takpe gak har har har k gurau je aku tak menilai rupa :3 bila tengah siap-siap pakai tudung segala baru try cakap depan cermin, sekali ya Allah camni ke muka aku bercakap selama ni langsung tak menarik aku pun bosan haish kena tarik otot muka biar berseri comel sikit kesian.

oh before tu, esei aku sebagai future reference untuk future applicants.

first draft aku seribu perkataan kot, padahal limit 300 je. dah dalam internet aku tengok semua ribu riban, so i got carried awaylah. aku kan beriya je bab menulis ni. ada orang kata yang ribu riban tu zaman dulu, sekarang ni dorang nak pendek je. nanti dorang tak baca. paling teruk pun penuh satu page. so aku cut down sampai jadi paling teruk ni. ingat senang ke hah nak cut down words yang kita rasa bermakna untuk tolong kita dapat bantuan pelajaran?! yes, you should sell yourself in your essay. kau ingat aku tak segan ke baca balik apa aku tulis ni. janganlah masukkan fakta bosan, esp yang dorang dah tau macam asal mana, mak bapak sape, adik beradik berapa. takyah jugak listkan setiap pertandingan dan pencapaian kau, bazir perkataan. banyak lagi benda yang boleh ditulis, yang takde dalam borang, dalam sijil, dalam resume. bila tulis esei atau jawab interview, fikir apa yang akan impress kau kalau kaulah tukang baca atau tukang interviewnya. inilah masanya to show the real you.


but don't brag and be boastful cos you wouldn't get the offer if i were to be the interviewer.

5 A's and an F. tak, bukan result SPM. tapi nama group kitorang yang aku sesuka hati kasi. dari kiri - Aisyah (law), Anis (law), Ama (psy), Aina (psy), Alia (env sc), and Fatimah (hosp). you see wut i did thaaar? see the connection between our names and the group's name??? SEEEEEEE?

nobody really cares Ama. they just want you to shut the heaven up and go straight to the point. k fine guys. fine.

le me after the interview

kitorang lepas daftar je terus sembang macam-macam gaya makcik-makcik, it's good you know to build chemistry and avoid awkward moments later during the interview. so come early and be friendly. pot pet dalam bahasa melayu, tapi pas masuk bilik interview je, berdiri kat meja and disuruh duduk, dan dan semua "thank you". maka tempoh speaking pun bermula.

bilik interview tu dalam classroom or something, but for sure there was no aircond la. so you don't have to be worried of being cold to death like i was when i went for Felda. just nice, tak sejuk tak panas.

after we were given a paper which had instructions and our case study, the first thing that interviewer dude (let's call him Sir Saiko because he saiko-ed us a lot) said was "do you know what colour the paper is?"

wut?

"uhm... purple?"

"purple? really?"

"......"

"indigo!" he said. k.

"it's in purple family" one of us replied. back at chaaaa.

so our case study was -

there were two people who were severely injured or sick or something, but we could only save one person. the first one was Faizal, a 20-year-old. he's an outstanding student and the only breadwinner in his family. the second one was Dato M, a 60-year-old. he's a successful businessman who had contributed a lot to the country. ya no who did i pick? OF COURSE FAIZAL! I WAS FIGHTING FOR YOU DUDE! THE SOLE BREADWINNER?! THAT DESERVES ALL THE MEDICAL ATTENTION IN THE WORLD. tsk

at first we discussed together the pros and cons of each patient, and then we formed two groups. one rooting for the young boy and another for the old man. when we were discussing the interviewers weren't really paying attention to us, i was like "weh look at me la i'm talking and contributing and stuffs". but when we were debating, Sir Saiko was standing in front of our table and walking around us. so make sure you shine~ but do not dominate the discussion and debatela. give others the chance to talk. the problem is when you've given them the opportunity, they can't stop. hahah.

after that he asked us some questions regarding the case study. he even changed the situation a few times (suddenly we're doctors in a private hospital and if we save the old man his family would grant us 1 million dollars but it's wrong morally and so unethical of a doctor to save somebody just because of money but then our management forced us to because they're materialistic and selfish and so much dramas aku teringat Grey's Anatomy terus). so that one question per interviewee and one minute to answer only? never happened in our case.

because Sir Saiko kept going on and on saiko-ing people and asking unrelated questions. to Aisyah and Fatimah he asked who should the loan be granted to, leaving them awkward and feeling guilty. as both Aina and I applied for Psychology under Social Science, he asked Aina "why does Fatimah look anxious?" and me "ask Fatimah who's the only one who should stay in the crashing plane" which i responded very psychologist-ish telling her to take her time to decide and then he said "very good" hepi jap aku, and then another question to me "i'm dying here i wanna kill myself what should you do?" and i was like wut ok answer anyway something like this "when people are suicidal like you, usually they don't want to hear anything cliche but nevertheless true, there might even not be enough time to talk so i'll just do whatever i can to stop them, er, you from killing yourself and after you've calmed down, i'll help you to understand there's more to life than whatever it is causing you to want to kill yourself". the whole time i was talking he was smiling and i felt a lil bit awkward, like was he smiling because i was doing well or he found me funny or did he think "pity this girl, hm just smile to make her confident"? he wasn't even contradicting me like he was with others. ngan orang lain bukan main lagi attack macam-macam, membuat aku rasa dipinggirkan dan tak diberi peluang serta perhatian lol wut.

after he was done torturing us with awkward moments and hard decisions, he asked each of us "why are you here". and after aku dah jawab, he said "do you have anything else to say?"

"i want to ask -"

"that's not what i asked"

oh.... k. fine takleh tanyalah ni?

"i want to say thank you for this opportunity and please, please consider me"

kesian je bunyi.

after all of us answered his last question, sort of like the last chance to appeal, to "pick meee!", to make puppy eyes and smile sweetly, he said "you may be dismissed".

WOAA TU JE SEKEJAPNYAAA RASA!

said thank you and salam dua orang interviewer pompuan who did not interview us or to be exact, say anything at all and i wonder how would they choose who is qualified for the loan? are they even qualified to choose who's qualified? or will this be a matter of luck and rezeki? because all of us did our best, let alone other hundreds and thousands of interviewees. 

never mind that. one different thing i noticed about myself is i was not as enthusiastic or determined as i was when i was applying for the loan. when i found out i was called for the interview with Mara, for A-Level at INTEC in Psychology, the pre-u, the place, and the course which i've wanted for so long since i was a kid, i did not feel the pressure, which i should feel if i really, really, really wanted the loan. when i knew i could apply for what i've always dreamt of, i had teary eyes. like i wanted it so badly, the last chance for me to study overseas in Psychology. but before the interview, i didn't feel the same sensation. it was weird. maybe because aku dah settle dengan PALAM and malas nak fikir banyak nak buat rayuan masuk asasi kemanusiaan UIA lah apalah. malas nak fikir pasal study plan, and yes that includes Psychology. because my original study plan tak menjadi. malas nak fikir lagi sebab mungkin itulah takdir aku, masuk PALAM, belajar benda lain, tak macam yang aku idam-idamkan. malas nak fikir sebab taknak tersalah pilih takdir. malas nak fikir takut salah pilih pastu kena mula semula. malas fikir nak fly, walaupun seumur hidup aku cita-cita aku nak belajar overseas sejak belum masuk tadika lagi. aku dah tak kempunan fly sejak lepas SPM, bila aku betul-betul decide nak masuk UIA ambik degree psychology. tapi sekarang UIA pun dah ke mana psychology pun dah ke mana, alang-alang baik fly ye dak? tapi entahlah. malas nak fikir.

itulah masalah aku sekarang. malas berfikir. sebab tu aku pergi interview pun otak macam kosong je haha. 

takpelah, ada rezeki, adalah. takde, takpe. apa-apa pun, semoga apa yang aku dapat, apa yang aku pilih, yang terbaik untuk aku sekarang sampai bila-bila, dunia akhirat. amin :)
