Phone or HR screen
What are your salary expectations?
Tip: Research the market first, give a range based on the role, and mention your current package if asked. Our salary pages show what employers advertise in Malaysia.
Why do you want to leave your current job?
Tip: Stay positive: focus on what you are moving towards (growth, scope, industry) rather than complaining about your current employer.
Tip: Keep it to about two minutes: your current role, two achievements with numbers, and why this job is the logical next step. It is not your life story.
Hiring manager
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Tip: Show ambition that fits the company: deeper skills, more responsibility, possibly leading a team. Avoid saying you want the interviewer's job or plan to leave.
What is your biggest weakness?
Tip: Pick a real but not critical weakness and show what you are doing about it, with evidence that it is improving.
Final round
Do you have any questions for us?
Tip: Always have two or three: what success looks like in the first six months, the biggest challenge for the team, and how performance is reviewed.
