I am preparing an interview for the post of immigration officer (a department under disciplinary force). Please take a look of my script below. You can improve my script or raise questions about the content if you find it confusing or illogical. I will update this post by posting more draft questions and answers from time to time. Since it is a bit difficult to prepare all of them at one time. Thank you.:-D:-D
Self-introduction
Reason for apply for the post
I would like to become an IO as I want to fulfill both the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
For intrinsic values, I would like to work for missions. This is because I have a strong desire to serve Hong Kong people and visitors coming to Hong Kong, as the department is responsible for dealing issues highly related to livelihood issues like the combat of illegal workers and parallel goods and so far.
Last but not least, immigration department has a good and professional image in the eyes of Hong Kong people. Most Hong Kong people, if not all, think servants working under the immigration department are well versed in both the pen and the sword. And I hope to be a member of it.
Also, I would like to make good use of my advantages, which are determined and strategic. And this will be explained thereafter.
Of course, for extrinsic values, there is no deny that being an IO means you can earn an external reward, that is a stable career prospect and income as the department values the development and the benefits of staff.
Qualities that make me fit the post
I think I can fit the post as I possess the following attributes. To start with, I am determined. This can be supported by how I achieved my goals during university. It seemed that I lost my motivation after becoming an undergraduate. I found the situation worrying as human cannot live without motivation. Therefore, I set goals for myself in different aspects: language development, academic achievement, and social life. To achieve these goals, I put wrote all them down on a note and set it as the wallpaper of my smartphone. This is because I found human will drag their feet on their goals once they forgot them, so I made them onto my wallpaper to remind me from time to time. Although I didn’t achieve some of my goals, most of them had been fulfilled.
I have another potential attribute that is being strategic. This can be supported by how I achieve my goal I started my weight-training journey two years ago, my attitude in the first half year towards weight-training is hard work and persistence. But it turns out that my muscle-building was in a slow progress, and I lost motivation in achieving the goal and wanted to give up. Later I discovered that weight-training is about science. So I amended my strategy with information and advice from the Internet and more experienced gymers . I restarted my program, and it somehow proves that my planning works in a good way.
Education
Family
I was raised in a single-parent family. This experience gives me a chance to learn to live independently. Since my mother needs to work to make ends meet, I need to take care of my own including aspects like housework and studies. Sometimes my mother felt frustrated and hopeless, and I would give my comfort immediately. I learnt to understand. At the same time, I have no blame on my father, he has difficulty providing financial support to the family, which is something he cannot change. And I understand too. Although there is a small part of me that has been dictated by the destiny, I firmly believe there is a larger part of me which is under my full control.
