Pengalaman Interview MyBrain15 | Master Journey #6

Assalamualaikum and a very wonderful weekend

Due to MyBrain15 popularity among Postgraduate students, many students have been searching on the internet for MyBrain15 interview experiences. However, there is limited information shared by the previous interviewee. .....

MyBrain15 

MyBrain was initiated in the year 2015 according to Malaysia 9th plan. There were two (now 3) scholarships under MyBrain15;
1. Master Degree (MyMaster) 
2. Doctor of Philosophy (MyPhD). 
3. PhD Industry(MyPhDIndustry).*NEW2018* 

---

Tawaran buka sekitar bulan Mac. Untuk MyBrain15 2018, tawaran buka awal Mac sehingga 31 Mac 2018. Biasanya, kawan-kawan, lecturer atau institut pengajian akan alert students. Sekarang zaman teknologi, buka sahaja Twitter, FB etc bagi yang ada. Alert dekat sana.

Semakan Panggilan Temuduga mengambil masa hampir 3 minggu selepas tarikh tutup tawaran. KPT hantar SMS notification on tarikh dan waktu mula semakan online sehari-dua sebelum. Nak beritahu yang bukan semua berjaya dapat panggilan temuduga. Sebab gagal interview call is a mysterious matter.

 

#TabahSis

Gap antara tarikh semakan dengan tarikh temuduga tak jauh pun. This is my interview call.

Preparation

Checklist MyBrain15 interview

Kenapa ada (*)?. Yang (*) tu sebab bukan semua interviewer nak tengok. 

Datang awal, take attendance dan sit patiently dekat luar bilik. 

Cara interview dijalankan

It was a group interview. Ada yang masuk bertiga, ada yang masuk berlima. Sampai 6 pun ada! Interview dijalankan dihadapan 3 orang interviewers - pensyarah luar. Mereka tidak semestinya expert dalam bidang pengajian interviewee. 

Skema temuduga?

Item permarkahan interview waktu Ema;

CLICK TO ENLARGE. Item penting dalam interview

Basically cara ditemuduga lain-lain according to interviewer. But, the general questions asked were;

1. Self-introduction, about research, research progress, any publications
2. Current issue (local)
3. Current issue (global)
4. Extracoccuricular work, volunteering work


Ni soalan interviewer kepada group Ema hari tu.

1. Self-introduction, about research, research progress, any publications
2. ANY Social issue
3. Education issue (Why postgraduate research is important to our country)
4. Extracoccuricular work, volunteer



Sesi temuduga mengambil masa hampir 20-30 minit. Simple kan? Rasanya ramai yang tersangkut dekat soalan isu-isu. Tak boleh nak goreng (bahaya) or tak alert isu semasa. 

Waktu temuduga sekarang tengah hangat dengan isu PRU-14. My interviewers don't want to hear about GE14 because that is too common. Lots of unimagined questions;

BREXIT effect to education, pendapat tentang TMJ bayar perbelanjaan semua pelanggan Jusco, berapa pingat Malaysia kutip dalam Komanwel last week..





They say, "Interview is like a first date".So, work hard to impress your date......I mean, the interviewers.




P/S: Since kerajaan dah tukar, entah la apa yang terjadi dengan nasib MyBrain applicants and recievers
