I would advise everyone take a chill pill and calm down. I also attended the assessment and interview at global profiler and I haven't been called for the next stage. And I wouldn't because of this pour dirt on global profilers. It was a very good assessment as far as I am concerned, irrespective of not being called. Like Davide470 once said on this thread, some of those questions were meant to throw us off balance and see our reactions. One of the qualities of being a pilot is to remain calm and be able to maintain your cool when there are issues. If you do a Google search for ridiculous interview questions at top firms in the world, we would all be surprised at the kind of questions they ask people, which I am sure is not to test their class of degree or how brilliant they were in school, but to test a lot of different things about their personalities. I would suggest we learn from this and move ahead and be open to a lot of questions in successive interviews. Calling each other names won't change the fact that some people will be called, and some will not be called. May God give grace to our nairaland team who are having interviews in A.A....Bless

@Seagullbabz,

U are right about the use of off-point questions to destabilize your focus and see how you can balance up. I remember during my interview I was still trying to articulate and convince the interviewer on my skills and why I wanted to be a pilot when she interjected and asked why I think fewer ladies will apply for a pilot position....I had to "reboot", "refresh" and "restart" my head instantly and attempt the question without making smirking statements that would seem like i'm casting aspersions against the female gender......so I think those questions were just to see your ability to reason on varying platforms/subjects and still make absolute sense.

Sure bro, you are very right...like I told a friend of mine, I do not see anything wrong in the interview questions, I was caught off-guard a few times that day, but truth is, I have learnt lessons for another day.

Too bad if you feel offended, you're sharing your views and so am I. Congratulations on your educational conquest. Life is a learning field and we learn from different people and different circumstances. I have attended quite a number of interviews and I am very familiar with question dynamics especially when it is graduate trainee position. I have been asked the question 'What is a Circle' at an interview with Deliotte. At that point I was wondering what concerns an Auditing firm with shapes. This is just saying so that in preparing for other interviews, one is better prepared but if you feel the questions are silly and you do not groom your mind in answering such questions you may miss other opportunities. I only take out time to respond to comments so that others can learn and are not misguided by negative views.

Thank you @Ametoe et al, variety is the spice of life, and seeing things from diverse perspectives broadens our horizons. I've learnt from you guys, from your various contributions especially your experiences shared. Its good to have you all here.

LWTMB ....at that point in the interview session trust me this plenty English wey you knack so go disappear from your head.....lol

Abi nau, if anyone had told me, I wouldn't say the definition of circle, I would have said impossible... but at that moment in the interview, I couldn't even draw the inspiration.

According to mythology, the only thing that can kill a werewolf is a silver bullet but Fredrick P. Brooks in his book titled "No Silver Bullet" opined that there is no silver bullet & further argued that even if there is, you can still shoot yourself at the feet.
In the novel "The Shepherd" by Fedrick Forsyth during an emergency situation the pilot has to fight the rising sense of panic that kills faster than anything else. Fight the flight and fright to grab that chance is key to successful interview.

Well I was not asked during AA interview, it was at Deliotte and what I told the interviewer was that a circle is a shape that has no beginning and has no end and then the interviewer said and, then I confuse but immediately I thought of defining it in relation to business as it is an organization so I immediately said it can be defined in relation to business as a continuity of innovation that in business one has to always come up with new ideas and never remain stagnant and I believe it was a good answer because I got called to the next stage.

Ametoe:

i.e the flight-(monster question)

In an interview both ones aptitude and attitude to fright and flight is exposed to see ones reaction and response time to fight a novel situation.
Hence no silver bullet!

Anyone with the Job offer yet?
