《毕业后的找工历险记》

在本年六月，我正式毕业了（当时只是考完大学最后一张PAPER），然后就拿着不是优等；同时也不是很差的成绩去闯新加坡。当时在JOBSTREET和JOBSDB的网站寻找我理想的工作，但是后果非常不好因为都完全没有回复，有回复的都是Financial Consultant（保险工作）。

就这样过了两个月，我感觉在浪费时间然后就在七月尾也正是放弃新加坡或2.8的工作。这时就开始在另一站寻找工作——吉隆坡（KL）。

面试详情

1. 到了目的地后，在BODY GUARD那里register（他们只允许你在半小时前的预定面试时间register）。到了楼上后就提交你的CV然后他们会给你一张form给你填，然后就在休息室里面等待他们的通知。面试的过程里会有三个人，没有错，这三个人不包括你。他们三个其中一个是负责做笔录，而另外两个就是负责跟你面试。最后个人体验是他们会一直HARD SELL他们的front line position，简单来说是做sales的工作。

2. HSBC的面试过程比较挑战性，因为总共有四个过程。你真的没看错，是四个！首先是电话面试（主要问你的背景），然后是ENGLISH TEST（总共有三项: Grammar, Vocabulary and Listening，这个TEST一旦失败就要打包回家了），接下来是HR Interview（普通HR职员跟你Interview），最后一关是HR Manager Interview（这关我就没有经过了，因为当时HR跟我讲Manager不在公司里）。另外补充我面试的时间安排在下午四点。

3. 地点在AIA Capsquare。说真的这个地点有点难找因为你可能会看错建筑物。另外在柜台register后“排队”进电梯，你也没看错，这栋大厦的职员是排队进电梯的。我在这里的面试整体表现不是很好，主要是还没完全了解Fraud Analyst这个职位，同时我的interviewer也非常不好对付。

4. 这次的面试比较特别因为需要在20分钟里面写一篇少过250字的作文（题目4选1）。这个作文没有立即给你知道结果然后就有个高层来跟你面试了。面试过程是题目、回答+经验。题目是你提出，而回答+经验是那位高级职业了。这次的面试主要是让你更了解工作的范围和环境所以都不会问你一些平常面试该问的问题了。

5. 地点在Monorail站附近，一下站就看到那栋建筑物了，而且走不到1分钟的路程就到了。老样子前1小时到目的地然后在那等半小时后才去登记面试。跟高层面试前，需要填一些个人资料、financial ratio test 和 写一篇英文作文。我搞掂这三样东西后就交给counter的那位小姐，再过大约15分钟后，和三位高层的面试就这样开始了。是的，这次是三位高层，加上我总共有四个人在会议房里面。三位高层都很非常好人，而且过程都有说有笑，整个面试的过程不会有紧张感。面试结束后，有位男高层在我进电梯的时候搭了我肩膀轻轻地说:" Bye, see you again."。希望那句 See you again 可以达成 ^_^

6. 这次的面试一进去就看到整个office 的人在做工了。面试一开始的时候就吓到我了，因为那位HR 跟我讲这个职位跟我读的东西完全没有关系，然后就问我为什么会选这个职位呢？（我一开始看到工作岗位的名字就以为是属于金融部门，哪知道是属于电脑部门）这时没办法了，就只好硬着头皮说之前拿了一个科系叫 Electronic Business 然后就慢慢爱上了这一行。整个面试过程是在车大炮我对这行有兴趣了，幸好面试有些许经验了所以大致上都可以答到她的问题，不过我也觉得她发现我对这个工作岗位没兴趣吧。

7. 这次的面试被安排在早上11点面试，不过我老规矩提前半小时进去了，然后至到1点才结束。整个过程耗费了2个小时半，也就是1个小时 personality test 和 IQ Test、1个小时 HR Interview 和最后半小时 Manager Interview。因为 IQ Test 的原因，我面试完后，感觉脑细胞死了不少。IQ Test 对了超过一半，对此本人蛮满意下，呵呵。这次的工作岗位主要是补助 Finance 部门因为他们公司有新的project，所以很需要人手。整个面试过程的 HR Staff 和 Manager 都非常友善。

8. 这次的面试花了我两次Taxi钱因为公司地点是在 Midvalley 附近不过那里附近都没 LRT 的所以只好搭 Taxi 去面试了。面试前会填一些个人资料和回答一个题目，那就是 What is your future five years goal？另外总共有三位高层负责跟你面试。虽然有三位不过只有一位在讲话，另外两位都只看着我们两个。这一项面试有点吸引我，因为跟我读的科系息息相关而且面试的过程也主要看我对投资的兴趣。 面试完后就搭那个红红色的走表车回去 Midvalley了，我在里头逛了一个小时后就去巴士站等巴士回家乡了。另外有补充，个人很讨厌搭吉隆坡的 KTM，因为非常非常慢。

9. 这次的面试没花到钱因为是朋友载送载回，非常感谢他这几天的帮助。面试地点是一个有六栋大夏的地方，而其中一栋是我面试的地方，另外其中一栋是我一位朋友的工作地方。这次的面试有两位高层，两位都非常友善，因为都没问我一些面试该问的问题，都只是在聊天和了解我。另外这个位置只需要一人，我当时听到就直接 CHUA 到。整个面试的过程耗了大概40分钟。过了五小时后就打电话通知我拿到了 Offer 了！！YES！！感恩！！

结果

1. 失败

2. 失败

3. 失败

4. 失败
5. 失败
6. 失败
7. 失败
8. 失败
9. 成功

待续。。。《9次面试后的经验》

5197 FLBHD 非常亮丽的Q2

BUY RATE

Buy Rate，被简单翻译的话就是买入率，相信大家了解字面上的意思。当天每项交易都可以影响 Buy Rate 的因为只要有人买，它就会上；反之有人卖，它就会跌。以通常的情况来说的话，一只股的 Buy Rate 一天比一天高的话，这样可以知道有庄家/有心人在吃票了。吃票的原因有几个，可以是内幕有好消息；可以是炒高价（这个可要小心了，一旦被炒高最后放票，遭殃的可是我们散户）。个人建议在低 Buy Rate 的基本面股票买入比较适当，因为当时还没人发现它。接下来以下部分是更详情地介绍 Buy Rate。

以上图被画圈圈的就是今天的主题了，这次的主题也使用 ECS 做例子。需要更清楚看这张图的话只要滑鼠右键然后选择"Open link in new tab"就可以看到清清楚楚了（本人是CHROME使用者^_^）。以本图低 Buy Rate 来分析的话，那可以说这只股票卖的人比买的人多。Buy Rate的算法是当天买股的数量除以总共的交易量。ECS的 Buy Rate 算法就是（61/571）x 100% =10.68%，也就是上图的11%。

接下来要解释怎样买和卖来定论 Buy Rate 了。

买的定论
首先，这里的 Buy Rate 不是说你在上图的1.270排着30 LOTS，然后有人卖10 LOTS 给你，最后 Buy Rate 会上哦，反之 Buy Rate 会跌，因为那时10 LOTS 交易量是因为卖的目的而被交易的。所以以买的定论是你或其他投资者有买的心然后在不用排队下的情况下直接买入当时的股票。例子：上图1.300的价位排着66 LOTS，那么你当时想买20 LOTS ，就 KEY IN 了20 LOTS，同时在不用排队的情况下 Match 了。这样的情况就会提升 Buy Rate 了。简单来说是直接交易就会提升 Buy Rate。


卖的定论
同样道理，卖股的时间会降低 Buy Rate。假设在以上图1.270的价位有30 LOTS，那么你当时想在这个价位直接卖你的股票然后就直接 KEY IN了，同时也在不用排队的情况下 Match了（因为当时有买家在排队卖）。从 Buy Rate 来看，我们同时也可以知道 Sell Rate。也就是简单的100%减掉 Buy Rate的 %。上图的 Sell Rate 是89%。

触底反弹？还是触底荷兰？

相信有留意股市的朋友们在这几天都有同样的感觉，因为大马的股市一天比一天的差。从上个星期二，悲剧就开始了。股市一直勇往直下，大家的watchlist里面也都红红的，好像新年拜年时到处都看到每间家都被贴到红红的。然后今天写这文章的目的是想看看明天的股市会怎样，到底会不会跌破1600呢？先看看这一星期以来的简单数据：

从上图来看，在一个星期内，股市就跌了113.8点或者6.6%。以正常的情况来看，一旦物价触底就会反弹因为有很多买家发现东西太便宜了然后一直选购，量增加了也同时吸引其他买家选购，最后反弹现象就会出现了。不过重点是大马股市的“物价”需要在什么价位才是最低或最便宜的呢？在一直跌的情况下，明天会不会触底反弹呢？还是触底继续跌破去荷兰呢？一切就看明天了，拭目以待。。。

比较公司——中药业务

最近还在吹着美金的强势风，这让家私股从年头牛到今天了，例子有HEVEA，HOMERIZ，POHUAT，LIIHEN，EVERGRN等。然后最近的木板股也不服输，一起跟势上游。

美国在今年的升息计划也被联储局主席耶伦（Janet Yellen）comfirm了，美元升息后短期内应该对大马RM有不大的影响，长期来看感觉1美元换4零吉的日子是迟早的，业务出口去美国的公司应该抓几间在手先了，不然会走宝。

当心里有“钟意“的业务但是不知道应该投资哪间公司因为有时同行的公司有太多间了，这时就应该比较同行的公司，看看哪间公司比较值得买进。不多说了，下面例子是比较同行中药业务的公司：

图表里的计算法都是根据2014年，包括股价和股票数量。股价也根据去年12月31号年尾来定因为所有数据都是从2014年报里取出。另外因为BIOHLDG是在今年才上市所有就用它第一天闭市的价格了。做功课的时候发现以上公司的EPS在去年已经下滑了不少，加上今年刚实行的GST，看来中药业的公司短期内很难因基本面反弹了。。。
