Mock Teaching plus Interview - UTM Skudai

Assalamu'alaikum my lovely bloggie.. How are you? Hope you're in a pink of health.. I applied for this job position on 15 October 2019 as a business lecturer in Equine Management Program. I didn't have high expectation on this job position because I think that it is difficult to be accepted as a lecturer in UTM, since one must have a wide experience in their research field and have high qualification. UTM is also a research university.

On 20 October 2019, I received an email inviting me to attend an interview session at UTM Skudai Johor for the position of Senior Lecturer (DS51) in Equine Management Program. Bikkuri shita! What a surprised! Macam tak percaya je diorang panggil sy utk di'interview'..


So, pagi 24 November 2019 tu saya minta tolong adik lelaki sy utk drive dari Dungun, Terengganu ke UTM Skudai.. I'm glad that he's willing to help me. hehe.. sampai sana dlm pkul 1 lebih.. so, kitorang singgah jap dekat masjid di UTM tu utk solat zohor dan asar.. jamak dan qasar..

Then, dlm pkul 2.15 ptg, saya start cari bilik mesyuarat tu.. hehehe.. mmg sesat kot.. masuk bangunan V01 tu dah betul dah.. pastu dia pi jalan smpai ke bangunan sebelah.. hehe.. mula la kita kna patah balik semula.. sampai je dekat bangunan pentadbiran dia tu, dia minta tunggu di luar jap.., then baru tunggu di dalam pejabat..


Dekat situ ada 3 candidates termasuk saya.. 2 candidates lagi tu dari Indonesia..  Kedua2nya lelaki.. Diorang sangat2 berpengalaman dalam bidang Equine ni.. Seorang tu ada lesen kedoktoran dlm bidang kuda.. yg seorang lagi memang atlet lumba kuda.. ada experience on how to handle horses.. diorg sama2 ada buka klinik kuda di Indonesia.. Memang spec diorang sangat2 tinggi.. Sgt2 superb kowt.. Dekat situ sy dah rasa macam tipis je harapan sy utk diterima.. Sy anggap, sy pergi interview ni hanya utk tambah pengalaman.. Sempat la sy berborak dengan mereka.. Walaupun Malaysia dan Indonesia ni serumpun, but then ada juga perkataan yg sy gunakan, mereka tidak memahaminya.. hmmm..


Selepas nama sy dipanggil masuk, sy pun start buat 'mock teaching'.. Satu kejadian dan pemandangan yg sy tak pernah lihat sebelum nie.. Hmm.. Tak pernah dibuat orang sebelum nie.. Hmm.. No comment.. Habis je sy present, diorang sruh tunggu dkat luar.. candidates lain pula yg dipanggil masuk.. Then, selepas ketiga2 candidates siap presentation, diorang panggil sorang2 masuk untuk 2nd interview.. Dekat sini baru nampak mcm interview yg betul2.. Diorg tanya semua tentang cara nk buat financial budget, mcm mna nak kira fixed dan current asset, mcm mna nk buat business proposal plan utk bagi dekat bank for the purpose of loan, subject management mana yg sy boleh ajar sbb diorang baru nak perkenalkan Equine Management Program dekat universiti diorang.. Wow.. Dasyat jugak dengar skop kerja dia.. Sy rasa macam diri ni tak sampai tahap tu lagi.. Sebab sy hanya familiar dgn subject management and finance is not my cup of tea.. So, harapnya candidates lain je la dpt job tu.. Sy mmg tak sesuai.. dan yg paling penting, sy memang tak layak..


Sebelum tamat interview tersebut, they asked me to prepare a business plan.. just a short business proposal plan utk dihantar ke bank utk minta loan.. hmm.. To tell the truth, I don't know how to write a business plan.. Time sy belajar subject Entrepreneurship in UiTM Arau, I just need to prepare a business plan as a whole.. klau yg short ni, tak tahu pulak apa yg perlu ada dlm tu.. hmm.. That's okay. Let's this be our experience in writing short business plan. Bila lagi nak ada peluang mcm ni kan.. Memang sy tak mengharapkan sgt utk position ni, sebab sy tengok candidates yg lain lebih layak dan berpengalaman dari sy dlm bidang kuda2 nie.. 


Then selepas selesai interview tu, sy trus drive balik ke Dungun.. Otw balik tu, sy ada ckap dkat mama, yg UTM ni mcm jauh sgt je dari rumah.. laluan dia tengah2 ladang kelapa sawit sbb lalu dekat kawasan tengah2 pahang.. bahaya nie.. hehehehe.. buat2 cari excuse.. sedangkan expectation org di UTM ni tinggi sgt.. tak terdaya den.. I'm so sorry.. UTM, you deserve a better person!
