Well...mine wasnt a weird question..more like an interview i didnt expect.

Bank interview...memorized all the board of directors, chairman, mission, vision..etc

I walked in to meet a panel of 5 interviewers. They looked at my CV and they took note of the column where i stated i knew some french tho it wasnt what i studied and there just happened to be a French literate amongst them.

All my interview was done in FRENCH language. The others had pleasantly surprised look on their faces as i responded to my interviewer and no one asked me anything about d chairman..etc. They were amazed.

I got the job.

Moral Lesson: Anything wey u no sabi, no add am to ur CV.

Oxone: Here's a thread worth bookmarking

Mine was a couple of months after service and that was my second interview. I was so jittery because i was desperate for the job.

The interview panel was made up of a number of my peers and there was a pretty lady in the group. Everything was going well until i was asked how much i would want as my take home pay. i gave the usual "pay me the standard rate" reply. I didn't want to commit to a particular figure because i didn't want to short change myself by mentioning a low figure as there seem more to the company than meet the eye.

The lady now asked if i would accept 15k as salary and i pointed out to her that a 15k salary was a joke in Abj in 2011 and wouldn't even meet my basic needs. she then told me that there are ladies who take home pay was 15k in Abj.

*At this point i should have politely stuck to my gun & kept my mouth shut but the next few minutes was like an out of body experience for me. my brain shut down and my mouth took over, i watched myself from afar blow my chances of getting a job with that firm with the things i said.*

I Agreed with her that some ladies taking home 15k a month but pointed out to her that ladies don't always spend their money & have other ways of getting money. The group became animated and wanted to know how. That's when i finished the job with a list that includes money from admirers, dates and all. I cringed with each word but couldn't stop myself. The look on their faces especially that of the lady's when i was done told me all i needed to know. I knew i wasn't going to be called back ever. There are just somethings you don't say. I guess that daily 5 mins of madness chose that moment to manifest in the worst possible way.

Till date, i still can't explain what happened or what took over me because I'm not usually a chauvinistic Prick. it was all so surreal

ooops posted in the wrong thread but i guess I'll just leave it here

Its not late. There r french centres around... Start from d basics. All u need is the interest.

okeyjames:
I use it as a birth certificate o. I don't have a birth certificate

OK.

How about this?

Went in as a site engineer for an Out-of-home Media organization and was asked? 'so how will you handle agberos/touts, since you cannot speak Yoruba?'

I was like 'pidgin dey na, that na street language'
Never expected an interview from that angle at all

MrT2011:


Sorry for the embarrassment.
But Yoloba do likewise.

It's only Igbo that are untribalistic, shey

dont even go there. I did my NYSC in d east. The Igbos are d most tribalistic sect of human beings I have ever seen

Ok, stumbled on this thread.. here's the weirdest one..

Went for an interview for a pharmaceutical abi na herbal firm...
Got into the MD's office, it was like i walked back into d 90s... Picture frames and award plaques scattered everywhere! There was barely a free space on the wall..

The man(in his 70s) then started by asking personal question like my family background, then education, etc.. After that, he asked me to come to his side and stretch my hand towards him, it was like he was reading my palms..AS he was doing that, I noticed the guy's got a gun attached to his desk...My mind, I was like what the heck am I doing here! After that, he asked me to go to the Hr department where I was told to resume next day..For my mind, I just dey imagine the unimaginable! As I was walking out, the other lady that was interviewed stopped me and asked me how the interview went..Apparently, she had the same experience but she was not told to come back..She was feeling bad about it.. I told her she could take my position cos I wasn't coming back..I'm not that desperate abeg! Make Oga no go vex one day shoot my legs! Abeg, avoid stories that touch..On top sef, the salary was now 35k!! Hell no!!

Na one hotel like that, I wan do head of customer service then. He come ask me say can I swear short skirts? And could I walk around in it without being clumsy? It was unexpected considering the fact that I was in a skirt suit. I just stood up, pulled the skirt up and did a catwalk, bend and picked up an imaginary pen with a smile to go with it.

okeyjames: That was how I was with an interviewer months back, he saw my baptismal certificate and raised up bible discussions at first. He said I know you are from a christian family, I said yes. He now asked me, "Who is James?" Little did I know that he was asking me about myself I thought it was the James in the bible. I started: James is the half brother of Jesus Christ. He wrote the book of James and bla bla bla. The man just tire for me. After saying all those nonsense, he now reminded me that he was asking about my James not the one in the Bible. I was like WTF......Interview no easy o but confidence is KEY

..Can't stop laughing. ..can imagine the look on your face when he told u he actually meant your own James..

MarvellousGod: ..Can't stop laughing. ..can imagine the look on your face when he told u he actually meant your own James..

Abi nah. Another thing is always look for ways to improve yourself. I, for example, can touch type at a speed of 35 words per minute. Of course it's boldly written on my cv.

In short, set yourself apart somehow.

If later they need someone to go set up a new branch in a French speaking country, Creamish will readily come to mind.

Experience matters! Well If God says that is your job, you ll definitely make it.

Educative n very hilarious thread!
I just thought of this....if you happen to be an interviewer and your interviewee keeps on speaking bad english (using wrong tenses) what will you be your reaction?

AgapeCharis: dont even go there. I did my NYSC in d east. The Igbos are d most tribalistic sect of human beings I have ever seen

My man,
what your seeing as tribalism in Igbo is actually the-saturated-and-about-to-burst-HATE for Igbo oozing out of your mind.
