Again my opinion is DO NOT take the EK medical lightly ,it is a shame to pass the interview process and then get turned down just because you didn t try to do anything before the interview .
Don t believe to posters telling you it is a joke, if you happen to be the 1 out of a hundred who got sacked cause of this, then you ll have a different opinion .
