Softskill Business Communication: Job Interview

  1.      Make lists of 20 questions that you can ask in an interview

1.      Tell me about yourself
2.      Tell me something that is not on your resume
3.      What did you like and dislike about your previous job?
4.      Why did you quit your previous job?
5.      How did you find about this job?
6.      What do you know about this company?
7.      Why do you want this job?
8.      Why should we hire you?
9.      Why do you want to work in this company?
10.  What are your strengths and weaknesses?
11.  Can you work in a group?
12.  Can you work under pressure?
13.  Are you willing to be placed outside the city?
14.  What are your responsibilities?
15.  What was your biggest accomplishment?
16.  How do you handle stress?
17.  What are you passionate about?
18.  What are your goals in the future?
19.  How do you overcome difficult work situation?
20.  What are your salary requirement?

  2.      Find lists of illegal questions (minimum 5 questions)     
a.      Why each question is illegal?
b.      Explain how to answer the illegal question

      v  How old are you?
1.      One of the most common interview questions you will encounter is, in fact, illegal to ask because this may lead to an age discrimination to the interviewee.
2.      The best answer for age question might be “My age is not a measurement for how my work performance would be. It doesn’t matter if I am still young or old, I will do my best for this company.

 v  Are you married?
1.      We think it’s illegal because it’s too personal even though the employers often ask that question to get a picture on our future commitment to the company.
2.      We think the best answer is “I am not quite there yet, but I’m very interested in the career path at this company.”

 v  What is your race?
1.      It is illegal for an interviewer to make hiring decisions based on the race which is very not-job-related.
2.      The best answer might be “I believe my race doesn’t affect my performance in this company.”

 v  What religious holidays do you practice?
1.      Employers may want to ask you this to see if your lifestyle interferes with work schedules, but this question reveals your religion and that's illegal.
2.      The best answer to this question might be “I practice one religion and it has its holiday but I am available for work most of the time.”

 v  Have you ever been arrested?
1.      This can be a tricky one. Interviewers are not allowed to ask about your arrest record. Unless you were convicted of a crime, you are considered innocent of any offence and you are not obligated to answer to this question. 
2.      You have the rights not to answer this question. But if you have been convicted of crime, you are expected to give an answer.

Softskill: Penerjemahan Berbantuan Komputer Task 4

You Are My Everything By Powell When I went to bed last night, my last thought was of you. When I woke up this morning, my first thought was of you. You are my everything; my sun, my stars, my sky. You are my everything… and this is the reason why: For when we met it was fate, fate from the soul within. For when we met it was choice, choice to be your friend. For when we first laughed together, I knew it was meant to be. For when I fell in love, I knew you had fallen in love with me. You are my everything, my breath belongs to you. You are my everything, hold these words to be true. You are my everything and I’ll always love you… and whats more I know you’ll always love me too. Kaulah Segalanya Bagiku Oleh Powell Ketika Aku pergi tidur semalam, pikiran terakhirku adalah dirimu. Ketika Aku bangun pagi ini, pikiran pertamaku adalah dirimu. Kaulah segalanya bagiku, matahariku, bintangku, langitku. Kaulah segalanya bagiku … dan inilah alasannya

#1 You and the Coffee

Dark, wet, very quiet There is no you There is no one In this town, after the rain I’m all alone Black, hot, a little bit bitter I’m sitting on the corner of the room Looking at the window Wish you were there Watching me from a distance Coming to closer And knocking at my door Share a cup of coffee that I’m holding Like we used to And now You are more bitter than the coffee
