MY FIRST INTERVIEW FOR ENTERING AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE WORLD

In this post, I will share about my experience for my first interview for entering this course. My main target of this post is for anyone has interest to join this course in anywhere and who want to pass through the interview. This post maybe will have some long so be patient to see it completely. I will tell my interview story from A to Z and share some tips with it. So, let us start... NOW.

Before The Interview

You guys and girls as locals should know the procedure of apply public institution, right? So, I will not talk details about applying UPU online. About two week before the interview's date, I get the letter to ask me go to interview for this course at POLIMAS which located at KEDAH state of Malaysia. So, until here, you guys and girls where I come from, right?

Next, I share about the venue for interview during my time for your knowledge. During two years ago, all of us had been interviewed in different place. Now, I am not sure are they doing it in the same place. I will share the venue in the below.

NORTHERN MALAYSIA

MIDDLE MALAYSIA

SOUTHERN MALAYSIA

SARAWAK REGION

THESE INTERVIEW VENUE DURING MY TIME. FOR THE EAST MALAYSIA SIDE, I AM NOT VERY SURE AS MY CLASSMATES ALL FROM PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. FOR THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, YOU GUYS AND GIRLS ALSO CAN APPLY FOR THE DIPLOMA AND DEGREE COURSES IN A FEW POLYTECHNIC.

During The Interview

I go the venue just on time during that time as I remembered. After go through registration procedure, all of the candidates were taking pre-test in the hall. I still remember that test paper was about SPM level Mathematics. Guys and girls, you all need to prepare well in Mathematics and Physics as they are fundamental of this course.

After the test, we all gathered in the library for the interview session. During that scene, I managed to meet with my future classmates, Mahsyar, Elroy and Syeh. I want to say lucky or not, I entered the room with Mahsyar and another girl that we will not met again until right now. My interview group met the lecturers which were quite serious expression. They asked us about to introduce ourself (this is of course need to do in any interview), tell about ambitious toward future, ask about technical terms for the aircraft and how we should get this Aircraft Maintenance course which offered by government. I am still remember what reason I give to that lecturer until right now I can write a post about this event to you guys and girls.

After The Interview

In the beginning, I got the offer letter for programming course in Polytehcnic Balik Pulau, Penang state of Malaysia (My second choice for study was IT related course). I thought I lost my chance to this course. The situation continued to a few days later, I got the phone call form Jabatan Pendidikan Politeknik, one of the division of the Ministry of High Education, Malaysia.

These were my interview experience.

My Advice To The Interview Candidates

At there, I give my personal advice to all of you which may help you guys and girls in interview.

1. Please be prepare yourself in physical and mental before the interview.
2. Please be punctual on time when you are joining the interview.
3. You should be dress in formal and properly during the interview.
4. Try to get the good first impression from the interviewer.
5. You all should be have self-confidence in whatever event.
6. Try to act politely with the interviewer.
7. Try to gain their interest to you when interview.
8. You show the altitude that you really interested in the interview.

In the conclusion, maybe someone will give the comment that these are just nothing but I can said that if you maintain the advice I gave, I am sure that you can be success in any interview as these are the most basic thing to follow. THANK YOU.

AEROSPACE IN MALAYSIA

AEROSPACE In malaysia

Aerospace or aeronautical engineering are basically forms of engineering that focus on the science, development, design, construction and testing of aircrafts and spacecrafts. Aeronautical engineering is a branch of aerospace engineering.

To be more specific, aeronautical engineering refers to crafts that operate within the atmosphere of the earth while aerospace or astronautical engineering looks at crafts that leave the atmosphere of the earth.

Aerospace and aeronautical engineers play a very important role in the design of technologies for aviation and defence systems. They are also involved in more specific crafts such as commercial and military crafts.

Those interested in pursuing studies in aerospace or aeronautical engineering will take courses in subjects such as aerodynamics, control systems, materials, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and aircraft structures.

Pathway

Aerospace Engineering is the result of a combination of Engineering Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering. Each discipline are defined as:

• Aeronautical Engineering – Branch science and applications relating to aerodynamics, aerospace materials, structures, propulsion, aircraft mechanics, aircraft stability and control.
• Astronautics Engineering – Branch science and applications associated with orbital mechanics, space environment, determination and height control, telecommunications, aerospace structures, and rocket propulsion.

A degree in aerospace engineering provides you the knowledge and skills on how to design and create vehicles and systems for atmospheric and space environments. It takes approximately 4 years to complete a Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace. Most of the programmes are generated from various engineering disciplines with an emphasis on airplanes, spacecraft and satellite technology.

The program combines knowledge from various fields such as Aeronautics, Astronautics, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Engineering, Computer Programming and Training Industry.

Career Info

Aerospace engineers design aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, and satellites. They receive proposals for projects and evaluate them for a variety of factors. They can develop new technologies in these fields, designing new types of aerospace products.

Aerospace engineers must determine if the proposed project will be technically possible, financially possible, and safe. They will determine if the product meets the needs of the customer, can surpass environmental challenges, and can meet engineering principles.

Below are jobs that are directly related to your degree and jobs where your degree would be useful include:

• Aerospace engineer
• Maintenance engineer
• Manufacturing systems engineer
• Materials engineer
• Mechanical engineer
• Automotive engineer
• Control and instrumentation engineer
• Energy engineer
• Production manager
• Quality manager
• Structural engineer

Salary

Entry Level: RM 3,000 to RM 6,500
