(Artikel ini ditujukan kepada pengamal-pengamal perubatan Islam yang kadang-kadang cenderung mempercayai kata-kata jin yang merasuk manusia semasa proses rawatan dijalankan. Saya mulakan dengan kisah yang saya alami sendiri supaya lebih jelas)

Sewaktu berada di bilik guru, salah seorang ustaz bercerita:
Semasa kem STAM baru-baru ni, seorang pelajar tak sedarkan diri. Semasa rawatan, bila ditanya: "Siapa kamu?" Pelajar itu menjawab dalam keadaan tak sedar: "Aku Akma". Bila ditanya lagi: "Di mana kamu tinggal?" Dia menjawab: "Aku tinggal di Kubang Kerian."
Guru-guru yang ada di bilik guru tergelak dan salah seorang berkata: "Ha, Ust Akma ngamal ayat gapo?" Semua ini berlaku semasa bertugas di sebuah sekolah pada tahun 2006.

Di sini saya memaparkan pengalaman sebagai tenaga pengajar di beberapa buah sekolah dan pusat tuisyen:

Pada tahun 1999, saya bertugas di Maahad Tahfiz Ummul Qura. Dalam ujian tahfiz yang diadakan di peringkat sekolah, seorang pelajar dari Perak, FBI (nama timangan) gagal menyempurnakan semua soalan yang diajukan. Guru kelas tahfiznya berbisik kepada saya: "Pelajar ni memang tak mampu hafaz Al-Quran, dalam kelas pun macam ni lah tahap bacaannya". Bila berpindah ke Madrasah Tahfiz Al-Quran Al-Ismailiah pada tahun 2000, perkara sebaliknya berlaku. FBI merupakan best student dalam setiap ujian yang diadakan sepanjang tahun 2000 dan 2001 dengan markah lebih 80% dalam setiap ujian.

Critical Dos and Don'ts

During the interview, the employer will be evaluating your negative factors as well as your positive attributes.

• Do plan to arrive on time or a few minutes early.
• Do be well groomed and appropriately dressed.
• Do fill out the application form neatly and completely, if asked to do so. Don't rely on your resume.
• Do greet the interviewer by last name. Give the appearance of energy as you walk. Smile. Shake hands firmly. Be genuinely glad to meet the interviewer.
• Do sit upright, look alert and interested at all times.
• Don't fidget or squirm.
• Do look a prospective employer in the eye while speaking.
• Do follow the interviewer's leads. Try to get the interviewer to describe the position and duties to you early in the interview.
• Do make sure that your good points come across. Sell yourself. Stress your achievements and provide details.
• Do conduct yourself as if you are determined to get the job.
• Do show your personality; however do not let it take over. Show warmth and honesty so that the interviewer feels comfortable with you.
• Do show enthusiasm.
• Do bring a copy of your resume!
• Don't smoke or chew gum.
• Don't answer "yes" or "no". Explain.
• So speak up and don't mumble.
• Don't lie or hide the truth. It is okay to have made mistakes in the past as long as you are up front about it.
• Don't make unnecessary derogatory remarks about your present or former employers. When explaining your reasons for leaving, limit your comments, don't get personal.
• Don't over-answer questions
• Do avoid politics or controversial issues.
• Don't enquire about or discuss salary, holidays, bonuses, or retirement. Sidestep the issue. You're more interested in opportunity than in a specific salary. Negotiate your salary package after you receive an offer.

Key Questions You Could be Asked

• Tell me about yourself?
• What motivates you?
• How would your work colleagues/manager describe you?
• Do you prefer to work alone or in a group?
• Have there been instances where you have had to manage or supervise others? Give examples.
• What do you feel you have done particularly well in your current/last job?
• In what areas have you achieved the greatest success? Why?
• What are your reasons for wanting to leave your last/present job?
• What are you looking for in a company?
• What are your salary expectations at the moment?
• What do you see as your best qualities?
• Apart from knowledge or experience, what traits do you feel could be improved upon?
• What is the toughest decision you have had to make while at your present/last company?

Kali pertama saya diminta mengajar i'rab, saya menjawab "insyaAllah". Saya memberikan kesanggupan kerana yang meminta supaya diajar ialah pelajar SMKA, belajar Bahasa Arab Komunikasi dan Bahasa Arab Tinggi. Saya pula guru subjek berkenaan. Jadi untuk mengajar i'rab adalah perkara biasa. Bila saya sediakan nota untuk mengajar, dia cakap "Bukan i'rab ni la ustaz, i'rab satu lagi". Tercengang saya dibuatnya. Bila berpindah ke MMP, ada juga beberapa orang pelajar minta diajar i'rab. Tapi kali ni saya dah faham, mereka nak belajar i'rab yang satu lagi.

Interview Tools - Free Help & Advice

Did you know that the best candidate does not always get the job? The candidate who gets the job is the one who performs the best at the interview.

You are expected to "sell" yourself, build rapport, reveal attitudes and opinions and talk freely. You must demonstrate the benefit and relevance of your skills and experience.

The purpose of the interview is not to get the job, but to win the job offer. Be positive and enthusiastic - don't mention any reservations until you have received the offer.
