Khazanah 2nd Stage.

Well, first and foremost, in 19th of January 2011, 9 of our friends manage to make it to the 2nd stage which are ;-

- Me :P
- Hariz Husni
- Izat Ibrahim
- Izzat Iskandar Thani
- Ihsan Illiayas
- Azmi Naquib Azmi
- Aldil Hakim
- Syarif Ayob
- Faruq Roslan

The session is divided into 2, the group project and the interview. And in the group work we are divided into 4 teams sorted according to the colour on our name tag. Along with 36 other students from all SBP and MRSM, the process begun.

First task, within 45 minutes, we were asked to prepare a slide show to promote industries such as Health Tourism and ICT to MATRADE. In such that MATRADE is going to decide whether the local industries we present about is worth promoting to international corporation or expo. After that, we are given 5 minutes to present about it. Following that, a grueling 25 minutes Q&A session by the assessors.
I warn you guys, they have NO MERCY. They'll ask you everything or anything that could bring your team down, your self confidence down, and then in the end, you'll start calling the assessors a bitch. :D

What exactly they want to assessed here is your communication skill, self confidence and I forgot one more element.
On to the next station, you have been rejected by MATRADE. I forgot the time limit, but within that short time, write an appeal letter to MATRADE to give you a second chance. 

The second task, MATRADE is giving you a second chance! (YAYYYY -.-") 
Thus, you are ask to write about another local industry aside from Health Tourism and ICT to promote to MATRADE. You are given 20 minutes. I wrote about Agriculture, although I'm lame on economics. --"

Now the hard part dah lepas. Its time for the interview. Believe me when I say this, the interview is on a relax and 'santai' basis. Just be yourself.

A word of advice from me, for the interview, be yourself and just let them decide whether your qualified or not. Bergantung kepada rezekilah katekan. :)
