p/s: this post will has mix english and malay language
I don't remember on what date that I got this news for the open interview. But lucky that I know, even it was late for a perfect preparation.
Hebahan temuduga
Berjam memilih baju yang sesuai untuk dipakai (malam sebelumnya)
So, on 2nd January 2020, Thursday morning, I've call the person-in-charge (PIC) to confirm the details and documents to be check for the interview. Unlucky for me, the PIC told that they don't entertain if the person doesn't have official academic transcript. This is because, I only got mini transcript that has been issued by faculty not the university. But still, I want to try my best to land my first job, so I proceed with the preparation.
For the preparation, I need to have my complete resume, copy of IC, and a copy of academic transcript. Another circumstance comes after another, the printer at the home is not functioning. I need to go to the printing shop. Going there, with the hope that the documents can be complete in a fast manner,but still no luck on my side. The PC at the shop is under maintenance. My last choice, to recycle my old resume. Not really old as the document last updated is in last week of December 2019. After that, my cousins and I go to Putrajaya to see the location of the block for the interview. This is important for me because I don't want to be late tomorrow morning. Plus I am going by myself, riding motorcycle. That night, I do some research on the department and do some role-play on interview session.
D-Day!
3rd January 2020, Friday. I woke up at 0630, and straight for pray, bath, and getting ready for the interview. I wore dark brown stripe slack, tuck-in white shirt, light brown heels, and untied hair. Because I'm riding, so, sandals will be a substitute for the heels. I start my engine on 0735, go to petrol station first, and straight to Putrajaya with a some shine and light of morning rays.
Bersiap dengan harapan di pagi hari
My baby and I arrived safely at 0800, and I change into my heels and do some touch up on my hair (because of the wind). I go up to level 2, and to my surprise, the line for the registration already reach the lift lobby. And I was so freak because most of the girls are wearing baju kurung. But yeah, I don't really care because I wear my confident!
Thank you baby hantarkan i dengan selamat
Maklumat temuduga
Beratur untuk pendaftaran
At the registration counter, I submitted the required documents and get my call number. My lucky number is 119 and in blue paper. FYI, for blue color, we got article title "Digitalisation of economy won't leave anyone out: Guan Eng". And there's another article too for yellow, green and red color.
After that, we were escorted to the waiting room. There, we're taking our time to analyze the article and preparing ourself for the interviewing session. Not for so long, the staff called my number to go upstairs. We have our briefing on the interview where there's two (2) sessions for it; computerized test and panel interview. For computerized test, there are two (2) questions. Question 1 is for theoretical question while Question 2 is for admin question. Each candidate only need to answer one (1) question only, and it is decided by the staff during the documents submission. The staff would asked what major are you in, and decided whether you need to answer Question 1 or Question 2. And for me, Actuarial Science need to answer Question 1. So, for Question 1, I need to analyze the data that they gave, construct some interactive chart and give comments for the info. The time allocated is only 15 minutes, and to my surprises, the questions that they gave are in Malay. I don't even expect that the whole things would be in Malay, because yeah, nowadays most of the interaction would be in English.

After finished the computerized test, we're escorted to the another waiting room, to be interview by the panel. In a group of 4, 117 (Afzan), 118 (Faiz), 119 (myself), and 120 (Nadia). We're in the same group and we received the same article that we need to analyze. The previous group are still ongoing with the panel session, so we're just waiting nervously. When the time come, we entered the chilled room with a panel whom ready to interview us.
Like usual, the common question that comes are introduction question. And then the next questions are how to improve the used of statistics in Malaysia, is statistics important in life, and lastly, what can you conclude from the article that you have received. And extra questions for me, why go for statistics career while you're studying actuarial science. And my answer are,... (What happens in Putrajaya, stays in Putrajaya) Btw, all of this panel session are conducting in Malay. To be honest, I still answered in English. Even its a broken language coming out of my tongue.
For my team, 117 and 120 has experienced as PSH before. And 118, currently a contract worker at Ministry of Health. While me, the only fresh graduate there. I feel really small there, because all of them has more knowledge rather than me. Of course I am really nervous, until it can be recognize from my own voice. But I satisfied because I did my best there.

Orang kata post-interview selfie
After the interview session is over, about 12pm, I just go to the parking. Taking some rest at the corner of the block, while enjoying the wind and the scenery of busy staff. Oh ya, and some selfies to commemorate this experience. And comes two man at the corner, taking pictures for their OOTD. And comes another man to smoke. Not to criticize, but I hate the sight of that, so I leave the crime scene. Hahaa. Go to my baby, change my shoes, my sweater on, start the engine, and go back to Puchong.

Overall, this is a new experience for me. Never knew that I will go for government interview, which were conducted in Malay. Please pray for me, for my career path to be open wide, with the willing of Allah, my parents and others.
Semoga ada rezeki aku dimana yang Dia tentukan
