"I am writing to you in response to the several interview I conducted with
your former students for various position within our group of companies. I
have never come across such ?interesting grooming? that set a very bad first
impression to the interviewers. I wonder if you have any specific guidelines
on student attire during interview as well as in your campus? I am sorry to
have questioned both of you on this matter but let me relate my ?wonderful?
and ?eye washing? experience with you.
We have received 18 applications from your former students for an interview
and eight of them came for the interview from last week until yesterday but
all of them have been rejected in the first 15 minutes. They do not know
what and how to wear in showing respect to the interviewers. Among some of
the fashion fauxpas includes blonde or colourful hairs, short sleeves or
raised collar shirt, messy jeans, ¾ pants, slippers/sandals, chunky
necklaces and bracelets. One of them even came for the interview as though
she is going ?clubbing?. This is office work and in executive position. How
can they wear like these to an interview?
I further went to your campus in Setapak this morning to personally look at
your students attire and I got a shock of my life. Your students did wore
singlet, ¾ pants, sandals and messy jeans to class. When I approached few of
your students, they simply said its allowable in the campus. In fact, one of
them said the lecturers like it so much?
May I advise you that students MUST respect the University, the lecturers
and other co-students by wearing appropriate attire in the campus at all
times. We cannot allow students who bore part of their flesh and body hairs
in the campus. What had becoming to this generation?s students attitude and
behaviour? Where are their discipline? Being an educator, shouldn?t it be
our responsibility to ensure students? characteristics are well formed here?
I sincerely hope UTAR can look into this matter seriously and come out with
a more stringent guideline with regards to student attire. Obviously, we
want to avoid any possible incidence that could have happened as a result of
baring too much of our flesh in the campus. I understand that UTAR students
are very much sought after in the labour market but this record can become
history if the newest generation continues to wear inappropriately in the
campus and carry the same mindset when they look for jobs in the market.
For your information, after such incidence, we have decided not to proceed
with interviewing the balance ten applicants. UTAR students may be good
academically but it?s their character and well being that counts during the
first interview."
======================================================
LOL?I receive this email from UTAR today
I TOTALLY agree with the manager where interview should wear proper attire
BUT~~~~~~~~~~BUT
I disagree with them as well in some point.
1.)Setapak?what the manager see is it UTAR student or KTAR?There are a lot of difference between them.
Most of the things stated above i think refer to KTAR graduated student?O,o
*tell me if I am wrong
if I am not mistaken, setapak UTAR is for engineering?I am from PJ branch myself, I thought the problem only occur here because we have broadcasting,advertising and PR student~~~haha
Engineering student if can wear like that, i think it will me a major improvement in
their attire =="
2.)Attire reflect what we are, agree?
But i do not think wearing proper wear proof a student to be very capable nor wearing "fashion" proof the student to be bad.
Remember this, UTAR, please don't come out with what rules and regulation later on that all should wear former to university.
Maybe to other branch, ok~~but PJ branch, please don't~~we AV/PR/BC all need to be fashion alert, should train our fashion sense during school. Fashion, university may see it as a young generation thing/not worthy, but it is not, when we train our sense and alert in fashion, we alert in design, we alert in colour, we alert all sort of thing around us~~
Quote : "UTAR students may be good

first interview."
LOL, you are right manager, UTAR trained us for exam, give us exam, and we will prove to you we pro in exam~~ XD
*KTAR or UTAR?
