Should I say I’m a chain smoker, or what should I express to him if he asks how many cigarettes I smoke a day?

Powered by Froala Editor

Do not say that you are a chain smoker. You should say, “Sir, I smoke occasionally when I’m out with my friends. Smoking is not a daily thing for me.” (Reply based on your situation. These are the answer to provide you a perspective what kinds of conversation you may do with your DP)

Is there any limit to being open-minded?

ISSB is all about being yourself. Express your own way of thought and your opinions about everything. As long as you are genuine, you are eligible.

In a medical test, will they know when I smoked last time, cause I planned not to reveal I do smoke?

Powered by Froala Editor

It is okay to be a smoker as an ISSB candidate so do not keep any such plans. Even if the medical tests do not show anything there is a high possibility that the D.P will understand that you are lying.

Which things are highly negative, and revealing these pieces of information may harm my personality?

Procrastination.

How should I interact with DP, should I also greet him on my welcoming as he does?

Check whether the door says ‘Push’ or ‘Pull’. If there is nothing written then knock on the door and wait for permission. Before entering, give Salam and ask if you may go in. Once you’re inside, stand straight beside the chair and when provided permission, sit down without making any sound. Your footsteps must also make minimal sound or no sound if possible.


He may welcome you by saying Hello Amzad. I hope you are having a great time at ISSB. Your reply should be“Yes sir I’m enjoying being here with my beloved team members, hope you’re also having a great time.”

Afterwards continue the conversation in a sober manner. It is very important to note that you must maintain proper eye contact at all times.
