You "could not alter" and could not forgive yourself "for this messed up"!!

No wonder you flunked the interview.

Thanks for sharing op , pls can anyone in the house give suitable answers to the questions??
1. I have a weakness, everyone does. But no one has brought any to my attention so far. So i guess,all i have been doing is my strength,cause they are what motivated me so far.
2. Industrial unionism.
3. I was Secretary general of NMGS during my days in school, Vice President of SPE. I have skills in leadership.

.....Well. i no think write am o. bkos during an interview, u gat to speak once spoken to. no time to think. there is always joy when u respond sharply to any question, it shows u are speaking from ur mind. Hope this satisfies you.

for such questions asking can we know you
The best answer here is to tell them what is not in your CV,because they already know your name,and they know u went to the university,all these are already in your CV,this is ur selling point,you tell them what you can do professionally,things like team player,multitasking,computer proficiency and if its marketing job,u should be able to tell them how you can add value to their brands and increase customer relations,all these are on Nairaland just
Regards
but all these should be on a CV too nau.
I think the best answer is to tell them your name, where you schooled, what you studied and your strengths.

Can you see how wicked the behaviour of the mods can be. I posted answer to these interview questions sometimes ago but it never reached the front page. The desire to fill the front page with entertainment and politics gists have caused it. Fellow NLanders don't fail your next interview pls read it on this tread:

Well, self employment is still an option. Dangote, Otedola, and so on made it via SE.

Otherwise prepare better next time.

lol ur story bit funny,it happen to me too,mine I dint prepare,and I was ask this simple questions can I know u,or tell me about yourself,did u believe that I was just ranting and I couldn't even express myself lol,I hated myself that day,I guess is anxiety God will help
When u are asked to talk about yourself in an interview, it's one of the most difficult question that shut u down at times, because u will be having this kinda thought of "If my self-expression isn't up to par to a very chronic interviewer, does that mean am not capable enough for them to adhere and merit it"?

And that question seem to be like, u are eulogizing yourself towards them.

So many different thoght that can make u shut-up! lipsrsealed

Arik Air Interview for Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. 1st question: Confirm your age?
Homeboy forgot his age for about 5 seconds tongue How the hell do I forget my age?

Recovered though and blasted the remaining part of the interview, didn't get the job though(Don't think anyone did), fast forward 4 to 5 years later somehow I still find my self in the aviation sector as an engineer.

1. Align your strenght to the job descriptions. Eg as an accountant paying attention to details is a strength. Your weakness same thing but show you are working on it. Again choose a positive weakness, na weakness dey ask not character. Again for an accountant, dont say I lie alot. Dude you are handling companies money at least be honest grin Lieing alot is a negative weakness. A positive one could be issues like work life balance etc

2. Unionism depends on the company's policy. Do they have a union? If no then say no interest tongue. If yes, just state your beliefs that everyone should earn a decent wage and be treated fairly but employees must also play their role to move the company forward. Infact this answer can work both ways. So do your research before going for interviews.

3. Yeah you should have other skills. Do you volunteer? Love reading or writing? Come on company needs to know someone is there to lead other impromptu projects

Goodluck next time

aguizm:
Please some one in the house should tell us the right answers to those questions.


There is no right or wrong answer,the key is being able to give a brief summary of yourself for about 2-3mins or less. The major thing is just say something.

You could either tell what is on your Cv or things not included there.

E.g - using the things included on your cv to answer the 'can we meet you?' question.

My name is aguzim aguzim a graduate of accounting from aguzim state university. I graduated in 2011 and the next year proceeded for NYSC programme during which I was posted to abia state and served at aguzim local govt council at the office of auditor general pf the council. During this period I was the financial secretary of my cds group,a position which I held for a period of 6months. I am a self motivated,energetic and ambitious person and I enjoy and is very comfortable working with people.

Sorry I had to use your monicker....lol. Just change them to suit you and you can add some other things to it.

Or you tell them about your family background and some other things not included in your CV. I don't like taking this particular style cause I find myself not having anything in particular to say. Maybe others can shed more light on this particular style.


Hope it helps.
