Hai & assalamualaikum,

About 2 weeks ago, I was called by UITM to go to an interview for faculty of dentistry. So, basically this post is going to be about how do I prepare myself before I attend the interview :)

So, firstly when I received the letter (on the Internet), I carefully read all the instructions that were given on the letter so that I will not miss a thing. This is hella important before I prepare myself. The very first step I took was I make sure all the document that I have to bring on that day is completely ready (macam ic, surat beranak parents and all). But, people please do not bring your parents' original IC with you guys hahahhahaha kesian parents you kalau jadi apa2. Just bring the salinan.

Next, I opened the website of faculty of dentistry, UITM & studied a bit about the course. I was kinda lost hahahah seriously I know nothing about dentistry. I put dentistry as my fourth option. I really have no idea why did they still pick me (but, alhamdulillah).

Realizing tons of problem that I have to face, I decided to contact this abang who once give a talk in UITM Dengkil about entering this faculty. Thanks to this abang, he really guide me since the first day I ask, until I finish the interview!

To make things short, this interview has 2 sections.

First section:

Kena buat origami pigeon (for 2018) but before ni ada juga batch kena buat wire bending. Tak tahu wire bending? Boleh search youtube. Origami pun sama

Second section:

THE CRUCIAL PART HAHAHHAHAHA INTERVIEW! Firstly, dont get nervous! Keep calm & relax. The must-ask (popular) questions:

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF

Explain about yourself. At this point, the interview just want to know what you can do. Based from this abang I asked, he told me to tell what talent we got. Contoh talent: pandai main gitar, menyanyi, menari, photography, and all. Then, tell them based on these hobbies, what you learn, then relate kan dengan dentistry.

WHY DO YOU CHOOSE DENTISTRY?

WHY DO YOU CHOOSE UITM?

I do a little research about faculty of dentistry, UITM. Little did I know that actually, this faculty is the biggest dental school in our country, Malaysia. So here is the article based on the website of Astro Awani. HERE

WHY WE SHOULD CHOOSE YOU?

This part korang dah boleh angkat diri korang seatas-atasnya. Seumpama korang dilahirkan dalam dunia ni memang untuk jadi dentist! Here is one of the videos I used to refer how to answer this question. VIDEO. This video is for a job interview, but the important thing is we know how to construct the sentence.

DALAM BAHASA MELAYU, CERITAKAN TENTANG ISU SEMASA

I still remember when I heard this question, I was like HAHAHAHHA AKU BACA NEWS DALAM ENGLISH. However, alhamdulillah even cuak, otak ni time tu juga ubah dalam bahasa Melayu hahahaha. Punya berpeluh.

TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT DENTISTRY

Basically for this question, I told them about all the unit in dentistry. HERE. I pick one of those units that I am more interested to, and tell them the details. Why am I more interested to that unit....

Okay last, lupa macam mana dia punya soalan, tapi lebih kurang macam ni:

SO SABRINA LET SAY LEPAS HABIS BELAJAR STILL TAK DAPAT TAWARAN JADI DENTIST, HOW WOULD YOU SURVIVE?

Okay, thats all about the interview section.

Tips for the interview:

1) Masuk jangan lupa bagi salam, greet them properly. I usually ask them permission before sit

2) RELAX. ( I used to listen to my favourite song before I enter an interview to reduce my nervousness)

3) BE YOURSELF, Be Confident.

4) Smile :D

Okay, good luck everyone! All the best ♥
