haha i might have a few...

1. Dress appropriately...this is obvious..but i still saw a girl wearing jeans -_-''

2. Be confident! regardless of what results you got, there will be someone who did better then you. but since all of you are called for the interview, it's a level playing ground already.

3. read up on the organisation or school and the scholarship you have applied for. Know what you are being interview for and waht this scholarship means to the company and waht they expect out of you.

4. read current issues. I'm pretty sure somone will ask some thing on current issues, like for example, the pay rise. Cos i got a question on the elections last year..

5. relax and enjoy. cos if you don't you will not be able to think fast and answer the interviewers and give them a satisfactory ans.

6. be sure of yourself cos you might get standard questions like why are you suited for us and blah..and yup..it's time to be shamless and push yourself to them..ahah..think salesman! wahaha..but it's actually just putting yur crapping skills to good use la huh..haha

7. read up on things related to the scholarship..like for example if you are going for an Econs scholarship, read up on the price of Gold and how much a barrel of Oil is currently...basic knowledge..you gotta convince them that you are passionate about this.

8.For ladies, it will be better for you to tie up your hair or at least make sure your hair is not in your face.

9. for guys, the above applies..the part about hair not being in your face..but then most of you would be in army so shouldn't be a problem! ahaha

10. just be prepared for anything...haha..i had to do this impromtu presentation for about 3 mins on whatever theme i picky in a "lucky dip"..and i got salad -_-...i thought i screwed it up but i still got the schaolarship in the end...if you think you did badly in the first round, try to make up for it...

11. if the interview is in a group, you have to stand out...but remember to monitor the circumstances..if there are already a few aggressives ones, you being aggressive will not help at al..and if you do give suggestions, PLS THINK IT THROUGH. don't sound like a fool or just give suggestions for the sake of talking.

12. you might need to be a bit cunning..haha..WAIT! Not in a bad way..but you'll ahve to observe if the interviewers are taking to you or if they like what you are saying and go on with it, if not change topic.

i guess that's all for now..haha..good luck to those who are going for interviews!! =D
