Kinda debating to write this post, but whatever.
Here you go, my experience for SPP interview.
On April 13th, 2016.
7.30 a.m.
Room 8. (Note that the panel for each room might change according to weeks.)
I didn't snap any pictures in front of SPP building. Imagine the feelings you had on that morning. Even if you had prepared mentally and physically. Trust me, I'm a teacher. Haha. Oh forgot to mention that we stayed in Mihrab Hotel, Putrajya. I would say around 10 minutes driving. (Of course, if you are driving to the interview, please check the SPP building beforehand.) Don't get confused with SPA, sebab u can actually see the sign for SPA building tapi untuk SPP di Kompleks Jabatan Perdana Menteri. Rasanya dari Mihrab Hotel tu kitorg jumpa SPA dulu baru SPP.
Tak perlu drive masuk mana-mana guards untuk ke SPP tu. You should see a lot of you with blazer and files walking on that morning, so just follow them if you get lost. Parking depan SPP tu limited tapi around the place ada parking with tickets. Luckily Salleh drop us that morning, hehe.
Get ready with your driving license, matrik cards would do too for you to get the visitor pass. Don't do anything on your own. Tak tahu please tanya orang. Then, check which building is your bilik interview. Mine was B3 bilik 8. So, block 3. It is a little bit further away from the building you get the visitor pass.
Once you in the room, you sit according to your room. Room 1 row 1 macam tu lah (tapi kitorg duduk je mana), ada pegawai yang akan panggil nama kita untuk check file. So make sure your file dah complete tapi if you're not sure ke just bring everything. Kalau ada yang tak perlu, pegawai tu akan keluarkan.
I got a very friendly staff. It was a guy (pewit, haha joking). He looked like Eric Leong yang deko rumah tu. Sorry! Ingat kan Chinese but he greeted me with salam. He played a big role to calm down you guys on the morning as far as I can remember I was so nervous and didn't eat anything. Once your file is OKAY, you should be ready for the interview. In my case, the staff told us who are our panel right after we lined up to go into the room. We were the first group so if you are the second and so on you should know your panel from the people before that.
Memang masa beratur nak masuk tu akan nervous sangat-sangat, blank and tak ingat apa-apa dah. It's normal. Tawakal and redha. You read a lot of things dah kan mesti ingat punya. Jangan stress or tension sampai moody ke. Relax. Even the panel said they would not fail anyone unless they had to. Our group questions were a lot of experiences from practicum and your teaching. Kalau you tak ingat ke, your group will help you. No worries. In my case, the panel bagi hints jugak sebab all of us stuck.
Good luck. Setiap orang ada lain-lain pengalaman SPP. So, do your best!
