</div><div>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.</div><div><br />
</div><div>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 <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">grueling</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">25 minutes</span> Q&A session by the assessors.</div><div>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 <s><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">bitch</span></s>. :D</div><div><br />
</div><div>What exactly they want to assessed here is your <b>communication skill, self confidence</b> and I forgot one more element.</div><div>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. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The second task, MATRADE is giving you a second chance! (YAYYYY -.-") </div><div>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. --"<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. :)</div><div><br />

According to them the advances in technology, changes in consumers habits, an aging population and increase in offshore jobs (outsourcing) are factors that contribute to dynamic job markets. Because of this, jobs that are popular one day can quickly become obsolete in the future. This list is done based on their research on the anticipated job openings from the <b>American Department of Labour</b>. So it might not be entirely relevant to us. </span></span></span></span><br />

</div><div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">A resume represents you in words and is the one that creates the first impression. So, a resume must be well thought of and written perfectly. According to experts in the field of human resources there are five basic concepts:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">1. A resume must market your skills. It must highlight your qualifications and experience.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">2. The resume must avoid focusing on the past and project what you are and your capabilities. It must be about "you" and not on your past.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">3. The highlight must be on your plans for the future and how you intend to go about achieving your aims.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">4. Instead of chronologically listing your job profiles the resume must emphasize with clarity your accomplishments.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">5. The resume must reflect your skills and visions not just mundane everyday actions at work.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">When sitting down to write or rewrite a resume, put yourself in the shoes of the person who will read the resume and either shortlist you or junk your application. Never use a standard resume for every job application. Rework the resume to "fit" the job you are applying for.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1. First read through the job vacancy profile carefully. Then create a "job objective." This just means the position you are applying for.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2. Determine what skills, knowledge, and experience will suit the job best.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3. Create a short list of your qualifications and experience that will reflect that you are a suitable candidate for the post. That is you are capable of handling the proposed "job objective."</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4. Draw from your past experience and find accomplishments that prove you can shoulder the job responsibilities.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">5. In the resume elaborate in brief accomplishments that highlight your abilities to handle the job you are applying for. Emphasize how your work benefited your employer.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">6. Include in the resume a table listing the jobs you have held in chronological order. Begin with the most recent. Include student experience, summer placements, and projects undertaken gratis. Explain any time gaps.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">7. List your educational qualifications especially those relevant to the job you are applying for.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">8. Ensure that the format of the resume is consistent follow either the chronological or functional format. A template for a functional resume is at <a href="http://jobstar.org/tools/resume/tempfun.php" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_new">http://jobstar.org/tools/resume/tempfun.php</a> and chronological is at:<a href="http://jobstar.org/tools/resume/tempchr.php" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_new">http://jobstar.org/tools/resume/tempchr.php</a>.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">9. Include a concise and crisp career objective at the beginning of the resume.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">10. At the beginning include a summary of key points.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">When in doubt surf the World Wide Web and read through resume tips and formats given by experts on sites like monster.com and Yahoo jobs .com.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">A perfect resume is one that grabs the attention of the employer. It should be distinct from the thousands that will reach the employer's desk. A winning resume is one that speaks volumes without shouting out loud of your abilities and strengths.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-align: center;">Write a resume. Then ask an impersonal outsider to vet it for you. If in doubt seek professional help.<br />

<br />
Asasi is a foundation course that is offered by the government. It is a specific foundation course because it's designed to fit the curriculum of that particular university’s degree course.<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"> <br />
There are two types of Asasi programmes which are Program Satu Tahun (PST) and Program Dua Tahun (PDT).<br />
<br />
The types of Asasi programmes available are undang-undang, sains, perakaunan, kejuruteraan, and TESL.<br />
<br />
The courses are available at UM, UIAM, UiTM, UPM, USIM, UPNM, USM and UNIMAS.<br />
<br />
The major difference between Asasi and Matrikulasi is that Asasi is only offered to Bumiputeras and Asasi is specific to the degree course offered by a particular college.<br />
<br />
<strong>Eligibility</strong><br />
<br />
Asasi is catered only for Bumiputera students.<br />
<br />
Students who intend to study Asasi should have completed their SPM with a minimum of 5 credits including a credit in Bahasa Malaysia.<br />
<br />
Interested and eligible students can start their application for Asasi sometime in January. The advertisement for Asasi application is usually online and in the local Malay newspapers in December. This whole process can be done online by obtaining a special pin number from Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN).<br />
<br />
<strong>Cost</strong><br />
<br />
The tuition fees is subsidised by the government. In addition, students will be given an allowance of RM1, 250 per semester. RM350 for tuition fees per semester and RM360 per semester for accommodation is also awarded. Students stay in hostels that are provided by the universities.<br />
<br />
<strong>Recognition </strong><br />
<br />
Students who perform very well in Asasi are more often than not confirmed a seat in IPTA. Students have to apply for IPTA through Unit Pusat Universiti (UPU). Usually students will get to complete their degree in the same universities that offered them Asasi.<br />
<br />
<strong>Duration </strong><br />
<br />
Asasi is stretched across one year (two semesters) with a total of 38 credit hours.<br />
<br />
<strong>Governing Body</strong><br />
<br />
Asasi is governed and managed by specific universities. Only candidates who are doing Asasi at Universiti Malaya and UiTM would have to apply for local universities through BPKP or USM. Other than these, students will be admitted to a degree course in the universities they are currently doing foundation at.<br />
<br />
Unit Pusat Universiti manages the applications for the Asasi programme. The respective universities that offer the Asasi programme come up with their syllabus and govern the examinations.<br />
<br />
<strong>Hard Facts</strong><br />
</span></div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><li>Asasi being a one year course specific foundation allows students to enter the working world between the ages of 21-22 years.</li>
<li>Students will have to pay back the entire amount of financial assistance if they do not successfully complete the course.</li>
<li>Only Asasi students from UM and certain courses in UiTM are allowed to switch universities. The rest of the universities do not permit them to switch.</li>

<br />
There are two matriculation options: Program Satu Tahun PST and Program Dua Tahun (PDT). Matrikulasi is a fairly easy course. It is much easier compared to STPM. The only difference between PST and PDT is that in PDT, the subjects are stretched across 2 years whereas in PST, the subjects are taught within one year. This is to enable the slightly weaker students to be able to complete their course.<br />
<br />
All Math, Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Informatics Science subjects are taught in the English language.<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"> <br />
<strong>Eligibility</strong><br />
<br />
90% of Matrikulasi is allocated to bumiputera students, and 10% to non-bumiputera.<br />
PDT is only offered to bumiputera students for the science field.<br />
<br />
Students who intend to study Matrikulasi should have completed their SPM examinations with the following results:</span></div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><li><strong>Science stream</strong><br />
At least a credit in Bahasa Malaysia, English, Additional Mathematics and Chemistry, and one more from Physics, Biology or technical subjects.<br />
</li>
<li><strong>Accounting stream</strong><br />
At least a credit in Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mathematics and Accounting, and 1 more from Economics, Science, Commerce, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or any technical subjects.</li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">In order to apply for Matrikulasi online, students have to obtain a pin number from Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) for RM6 or an application through your school with a payment of RM10 to BSN for manual application.

For the two year programme, registration for the first year is RM160. All Matrikulasi students will receive an allowance of RM1, 250 per semester.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

<br />
The American Degree Programme (ADP) or American Degree Transfer Programme (ADTP) means the same thing. It is a four year degree course where 2 years of it is completed in Malaysia and the credits are then transferred to complete a degree course of choice. This programme is a prepatory course for students who intend to study at universities in America or Canada. <br />
<br />
The examination is marked based on the American system which results appear in CGPA (cumulative grade point average). Students are free to choose their subjects although it has to be pertaining to their course of choice, unlike the rigid syllabus of A-Levels. <br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<b>Eligibility</b><br />
<br />
Students who intend to study the American Degree Programme need to have undergone SPM and obtain at least 5 credits. <br />
Students who hold the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) are eligible for ADP/ADTP with a minimum of 3Bs and 2Cs. <br />
<br />
Those who have completed the initial stages of ADP/ADTP locally must apply for the degree of their choice directly to the university of their choice. <br />
<br />
<b>Cost</b><br />
<br />
The tuition fees for ADP/ADTP varies from RM25, 000 right up to RM45, 000 depending on the institution and the amount of subjects taken. Students can take up to 6 subjects per semester. <br />
<br />
<b>Recognition </b><br />
<br />
ADP/ADTP is widely recognized around the United States of America as well as in Canada. <br />
<br />
<b>Duration </b><br />
<br />
ADP/ADTP that is done in Malaysia before transferring to an American university takes around 1-2 years which is around 3-5 semesters. There are a few intakes around the year (March, May, June, July, August, September), the main one being in January with exams held at the end of every semester. <br />
<br />
The assessments include internal and external factors. Coursework and assignments provide a lot of marks besides the final examination. <br />
<br />
<b>Governing Body</b><br />
<br />
Unlike most pre university courses, ADP/ADTP does not have a particular governing body. The respective universities govern ADP/ADTP. <br />
<br />
<b>Hard Facts:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Certain universities in Australia, UK and New Zealand are slowly beginning to accept students who have undergone ADP/ADTP.</li>
<li>Students who later intend to be transferred to universities in the States will need to complete their English evaluation papers IELTS or TOEFL which could be done during the duration of the programme itself. </li>

<br />
Some think that the interview is just for formality’s sake. But it doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to slack during the interview. You still have to do your best; after all, you aren’t guaranteed a scholarship, yet.<br />
<br />
About the interview<br />
<br />
Who: The interview will be conducted by 2 MARA officers.<br />
Duration: 15-20 minutes<br />
Language: The interview is conducted in English<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
How is the interview done?<br />
<br />
You’ll be interviewed by a panel of 2-1. So yes, it’s only you, and 2 MARA officers. Questions posed will be about MARA as well, so make sure you do enough research on MARA – what is the organization about, their objectives, their activities etc.<br />
<br />
Common questions asked<br />
<br />
1. Introduce yourself<br />
2. Tell us about your hometown, co-curricular achievements<br />
3. Why choose MARA, not JPA?<br />
4. Anything about being a Bumiputra (especially if you are of mixed parentage, like Chinese-Bidayuh, or Indian-Kadazan)<br />
5. Which country do you want to pursue your studies, and why?<br />
6. Why do you choose this field to study? <br />
7. What do you know about *the field of study chosen*? (and other questions related to your chosen course, such as the development of the field, how can you contribute to it)<br />
8. What do you want to specialize in? (Usually for those taking medicine – For your information they WILL ask you more about your choice, so RESEARCH. A LOT)<br />
9. How can you contribute to MARA in the future?<br />
10. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?<br />
<br />
<br />
Other things you should know<br />
<br />
- Be updated with current news/events locally and internationally. Read the newspaper daily. and understand some of the current issues.<br />
- Organize your certificates properly<br />
- Do plenty of research. Make sure you know MARA and your chosen course well. This is so that you come prepared!<br />
<br />
There’s nothing wrong with practicing in front of a mirror, because it helps! You don’t want to come across as memorizing a script, do try to appear calm and relaxed (although the whole process can be nerve-wrecking!).<br />

<br />
You will be divided into groups, each group consisting of 5 people (it varies). They’ll mix it up, not everyone in the group will be taking the same course as you are.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<b>Round 1</b><br />
<br />
Self Introduction<br />
<br />
- Name, previous school, parents’ occupation<br />
<br />
Other questions<br />
<br />
Why should you get the scholarship?<br />
<br />
Talk about your achievements, your qualities – i.e. you are goal oriented, hard working. Elaborate your points and highlight your co-curricular activities <br />
<br />
Why do you choose *programme of choice*?<br />
<br />
Don’t answer: “because it pays high” or “because I was forced to”. Do plenty of research and know your chosen course well <br />
<br />
Why do you choose to study abroad? Why that country?<br />
<br />
Don’t simply say “Japan is better than Malaysia” or “They have better facilities in their Universities”. You can say this instead “Japan is very advanced in their engineering field therefore I would like to learn from them and hopefully bring back the knowledge to Malaysia”. Again, do your research! Find out about the country’s achievements in your chosen field or talk about broadening your knowledge, sharing Malaysian culture, etc.<br />
<br />
Apakah kualiti terbaik anda?<br />
<br />
Here's the opportunity to sell yourself! Talk about what you do best and how you do it. <br />
<br />
Convince us why we should give you the scholarship.<br />
<br />
Here comes the "I'm hardworking" "I want to achieve my goal" "I will do my very best to excel" "I never give up" etc etc. Don't give too many examples, and remember to elaborate on your points.<br />
<br />
Are you willing to work in rural areas after you graduate? (especially for Medic Students)<br />
<br />
Explain why, talk about how there are not enough help in rural areas .<br />
<br />
What do you know about Klinik 1Malaysia?<br />
<br />
Do some research on this. Easily found on the internet.<br />
<br />
Scholarships are funded by the citizens of this country by paying tax. How do you think you can repay them? <br />
<br />
Not about how you will raise money to pay them back. "How will you contribute to society?" is the real question here. Talk about how your chosen career will help better the society, and what you can do to help Malaysians.<br />
<br />
What are your weaknesses?<br />
<br />
Don't say "I don't have any", cause nobody's perfect! If you say "I am stubborn," as a weakness, up your market by saying, "I am stubborn, my friends and family say that I won't listen to anyone else but myself. But this just shows that I am determined, strong-willed and I will stand up for what I think is right,"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Round 2<br />
<br />
Group Discussion<br />
<br />
- You are given 3 minutes to discuss on the topic given by the panel<br />
<br />
- According to those who have attended, some students are lucky enough (or not) that they didn’t have to go through the group discussion<br />
<br />

1. Global Warming on the and the effect on Nation’s Health and the Social Economics<br />
2. The attitude of the Younger Generation – whose fault is it?<br />
3. Any current medical issues - A H1N1, Dengue, Hepatitis, AIDS<br />
4. Malaysians do not prefer to use public transportation. What do you think about this?<br />
5. Patriotism among Youth<br />
6. Students studying abroad act as ambassadors of Malaysia. Give your opinion on this.<br />
7. If you study abroad, what can you do to uphold the good name of Malaysia?<br />
8. Mulai tahun ini, pihak kerajaan telah menurunkan had mengambil 10 subjek sahaja untuk SPM . Adakah anda setuju? Berikan pendapat anda.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tips<br />
<br />
1. Arrange all your documents and certificates in order, and in a clear folder (bring your own!)<br />
2. Come early, mix around and be friends with other candidates – this will help you feel less nervous<br />
3. Dress properly, girls especially should wear ‘kasut bertutup’<br />
4. If asked in English, answer in English. If asked in Malay, answer in Malay.<br />
