Grooming For Interview

Men

* Keep hair well-groommed. Even though coloured and tinted hair may appear "cool", some interviewers may still find it unacceptable for certain job. If you have a beard or moustache, make sure it is trimmed and tidy.

* Do not wear earings. Generally in the business world, it is still not acceptable for men to use these accessories.

* Wear neutral colours. Different colours send different messages and project different personalities. For example, strong pink is a controveversial colour, so avoid wearing it at job interviews. Shades of blue, brown, beige, white and grey are colours that project seriousness and professionalism.

* Wear a belt that matches your shoes. If your trousers have belt loops, you need a belt and it should match the colour of your shoes.

* Clean and trim your fingernails. Unkempt nails give the impression that you are an untidy person and the inteviews could interpret this as your working style.

* Empty your pockets. Do not carry a ciggarette pack or a lot of coins and keys to an interview. They make you look clumsy and the jingling noise is distracting.

Women

* Style you hair tastefullt. If it is coloured or highlighted, make sure it look stylish. Strongly bleached hair and uncommon colour schemes (purple, green, blue) project an image of non-comformity and individualism. A prospective employer will surely consider the implications of these attributes when deciding on your employability.

* Earrings should enhance your appearance, and not be a distraction during the interview. Avoid dangling chunky ones that swings about when you speak or move your head. Wear small, classic style-just one per earlobe, please.

* Apply make-up sparingly, and keep the look professional.

* Wear comfortable clothing. Choose a comfortable, well flitting skirt or pants suit which looks elegant. Avoid short skirts and daring outfits. Pay attention to the colour mix and avoid strong colour combinations.

* If you are wearing nail polish, make sure it is light-coloured. Loud colours and nail art should be avoided.

* Coordinate your outfit with your shoes. Avoid very high-heeled shoes. They give you an unnatural posture. Do not wear sandals either, as they look too casual.

Sejarah Pusat Pengajian Sains Matematik

Pusat Pengajian Sains Matematik (PPSM) bermula semenjak tertubuhnya Jabatan Matematik pada tahun 1970, iaitu seiring dengan penubuhan UKM. Pada tahun 1978 Unit Statistik dan Sains Komputer diwujudkan dalam Jabatan Matematik.

Pada tahun 1982 Jabatan Matematik dinaikkan taraf menjadi sebuah fakulti yang dikenali sebagai Pusat Pengajian Kuantitatif (PPK) dan terdiri daripada Jabatan Matematik, Jabatan Statistik dan Jabatan Sains Komputer. Seterusnya pada tahun 1991 PPK menukar nama kepada Fakulti Sains Matematik dan Komputer (FSMK).

Pada tahun 1994 FSMK berkembang kepada dua fakulti, iaitu Fakulti Sains Matematik (FSM) dan Fakulti Teknologi dan Sains Maklumat (FTSM). Pada sesi 1996/97 FSM mula menawarkan program Pengajian Jarak Jauh (PJJ) untuk ijazah pertama. Pada tahun 1996 FSM menubuhkan Pusat Peningkatan Kualiti dan Produktiviti bagi mempromosi sains matematik kepada pihak luar.

Pada 19 Julai 1999, selaras dengan penstrukturan semula fakulti-fakulti gugusan sains, FSM menjadi PPSM di bawah Fakulti Sains dan Teknologi (FST).
