4. What is the historical building in your Hometown?

Menara Jam Sungai Petani

The major of Sungai Petani is a clock tower on the main street, Jalan Ibrahim. The clock
tower was built in 1936. It is 12.1 m in height. It is topped by a dome-shaped and gold
coloured structure. The tower was a present from Lim Lean Teng to George V and Queen
Mary to commemorate the Silver Jubilee (25 anniversary).

Section C: Personal Information

1. What is your greatest Weakness?
I have a hard time letting a project go or sharing a task with others because Im always
convinced that I can do it all on my own and that asking for help will be taken as a sign of
weakness. This has led to me taking on projects that have overwhelmed me and resulted in
me being frustrated and angry. It hasnt been easy learning to let go, but Ive been working
on trusting others and sharing the responsibilities for projects and as a result, have been
able to really accomplish some incredible things.

2. What is your Strength?

I have an extremely strong work ethic and time management skill. When I'm working on a
project, I don't want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well
ahead of schedule so that I will not panic when facing unpredictable situation.

3. How do see yourself in the next 5 year?

In 5 years time, I see myself as an architect graduate firstly working within a small company
as an assistant architect. This is because I feel that it is important to begin my career from
firstly learning and understanding the different aspects of the architect world to get a grasp of
how I can keep on improving both my weakest and strongest points, I feel that I can obtain
this through a small company.

4. How do handle stress?

Pressure is very important to me. Good pressure, such as having a lot of assignments to
work on, or an upcoming deadline, helps me to stay motivated and productive. Of course,
there are times when too much pressure can lead to stress; however, I am very skilled at
balancing multiple projects and meeting deadlines, which prevents me from feeling stressed
often. For example, I once had three large projects due in the same week, which was a lot of
pressure. However, because I created a schedule that detailed how I would break down
each project into small assignments, I completed all three projects ahead of time and
avoided unnecessary stress.

5. How do you handle failure?

"I have always lived by the maxim that nobody is perfect, so I am relatively comfortable
taking responsibility for my shortcomings. My approach is to figure out what I could change
to avoid similar circumstances in the future.

6. Do you work well with other people?

Working on a number of team projects has allowed me to develop my ability to
communicate clearly with others, and mediate conflicts between team members. For
example, on a recent project, two of my teammates were having trouble coming to an
agreement about how to approach an element of the project. I listened to each of their
concerns, and got everyone to sit down and come up with a solution that would make
everyone happy. Because of my ability to listen to others and mediate conflict, we were able
to finish our project ahead of schedule.

7. How would your describe yourself?

I'm a people person. I really enjoy meeting and working with a lot of different people,
and am known for being a great listener and clear communicator, whether Im
engaging with colleagues or employers.
I'm the kind of person who knows how to execute difficult tasks with precision. I pay
attention to all the details of a project. I make sure that every task is just right, but is
also completed in a timely manner.
I'm a creative thinker. I like to explore alternative solutions to problems and have an
open mind about what will work best. My creativity has made me an effective team
leader because I can anticipate problems and innovate solutions.
I'm an extremely organized person who is focused on producing results. While I am
always realistic when setting goals, I consistently develop ways to efficiently achieve,
and often exceed, those goals.
I enjoy solving problems, troubleshooting issues, and coming up with solutions in a
timely manner. I thrive in team settings, and I think my ability to effectively
communicate with others is what drives my ability to solve a variety of problems.
8. Interviewer: Sell me this pen.

For example, you might say "To help me to understand better how my product might help
you, I would love to learn more about how you use a pen during your daily routine. When do
you rely most on a pen during the day? When was the last time you used a pen? What was
satisfying about the experience? What was lacking or frustrating?"

Then you can play off the interviewer's answer to emphasize some features of your
pen that might help them with their activities. For example, if your interviewer mentions
taking notes at meetings as a priority then you might mention in response that your pen has
a fine point and non-smearing ink which would enable her to take legible notes. If your
interviewer was frustrated by pens that didn't write on certain surfaces or easily ran out of
ink, you could emphasize how freely the ink flows from your pen and the large capacity of ink
available.

9. What Makes you Angry?

Anger to me means loss of control. I do not lose control. When I get stressed, I step back,
take a deep breath, thoughtfully think through the situation and then begin to formulate a
plan of action. For instance, when I am given multiple projects to complete in a short amount
of time, rather than feeling frustrated, I come up with a strategy for how to complete the work
in a steady, methodical manner that will not overwhelm me.

10. How do you evaluate Success?

"I evaluate success based on not only my work, but the work of my team. In order for
me to be considered successful, the team needs to achieve both our individual and
our team goals."
"To me, success is when I am performing well and satisfied with my position, knowing
that my work is adding value to my team but also to my overall life and the lives of
other people."
For me, success comes from knowing that Ive contributed in a significant way to
finishing a challenging team project within established deadlines and quality
standards.
