Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at SMRT
1st round of interview with hiring manager. 2nd round with director and deputy manager. Interviewers was quite friendly, except felt that the director was a little cocky. Like there is a certain answer he is looking for and not take any answers for that, he will correct you to what he thinks is correct.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Johor Bahru
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at SMRT (Johor Bahru) in Oct 2023
The interview process was held at Johor. I am from Selangor but it is okay because I want this job. There are many sacrifices that I made to go here. It is a mass interview, and a lot of people, need to wait but I am also fine with it because it is normal for too many people. But the bad part is I think I did very well during the interview, also the recruiter already talked about the job to me they mentioned to me see you there but I did not get the offer. I think because maybe they want people who live in Johor. But seriously, I made many efforts for this interview. If they just want people near, just mention it earlier. I already asked why not selected but they not answering it. Very disappointed.
- Explain about your current job
