Tips for PPTM F29 Interview

Wow, it's been almost 3 years since I started as a PPTM F29 on December, 2010.

The system probably has changed since then..

But I'm very sure of one thing :)

If you want this job, read all 'pekeliling' related to our government policies regarding ICT.

They are downloadable from MAMPU's official web portal.

Trust me on this.

You wouldn't regret it as you would be able to realize a trick question right away.

Want to know how I know?

The last question the interviewers ask me is:
What would you do if your client does not want to install antivirus software on his computer? He don't mind to reinstall everything all over again if the virus/malware/worm/etc messed up his computer.

My answer:
It's up to the client. If he really doesn't want it, just let it go.

The correct answer:
If he owns the computer and he does not connect to the organization's network, he can do whatever he like.
If the computer belongs to the organization, he has no right to refuse that because the policy says so.
If he owns the computer but he wants to connect to the organization's network, the organization reserves the rights to deny connection from his computer until his computer complies to the organization requirement.

See?

You wouldn't realize it's a trick question until you understand what your job really entails.

While this tip doesn't guarantee you'll get the job, it certainly gives you higher level of chances to get it :)

So, good luck!
