You need to go to Bishan MRT Exit D, then wait for a shuttle bus to Bishan MRT depot. After you get to the security guardhouse, you'll change your visitor pass. The shuttle bus is gone after you change your pass, so you have to walk to the admin building. Once you get to the lobby, call the HR girl. She'll take you to the interview room and you wait for interviewers.
