I went for an interview once and I was asked how much I was being paid at my (then) place of work. When I told them (the honest truth) everybody in the panel were like The lady that asked me the question simply told me "Even our MD does not earn that much" and I knew that was it, I will never get this job. 7 Likes |

kristylopezz: By 'number' they mean the pay you think you're worth, not your phone number. The salary question is best answered by referring to the industry standard, then factor in your qualifications and experience. 2 Likes |

I was asked to tell them what I know about the company. I narrated all that wikipedia wrote about them and also all I have read from their official website, and I cap my narration with the point that they were the first org to introduce the MasterCard debit card, even though the interviewers were'nt aware of this fact, they were bent on argueing with me, I had to tell them to check this fact on wikipedia, the 2 ladies were just looking at me like **this guy don crayy** One of them ask who my role model is, a question I never expected because I don't really have a particular role model. So I answered by saying, I have a lot of role model. The lady pressured me to mention a particular one of them, so I said Albert Einstein. She was like What!!! I quickly change it and said Wole soyinka. Even though they were expecting me to mention people like okonjo iweala or SLS, I tried as much as possible not to allow their pressure deter me to mention those 2 peeps cus I know nothing about them. All of a sudden the interview started getting boring, So I was asked if I have any question for them. So I asked by bringing up the isssue of MasterCard debit card again, I asked them that if their org wasn't the first bank to introduced it then which bank did it? The lady replied me by saying "You can now go, there are lot of other applicants waiting to be interviewed" lols. I was just laffing at my self on my way home. I never expect to see myself exhibit such liver lolsz.. I was called for medicals and other documentions a month after the interview 40 Likes 5 Shares |

[quote author=wolegzy post=33162724][/quote] and you think they've not had many people tell them that generic line? I attended am interview in last April and I told him what you just mentioned. You know what he explicitely told me? "cut the crap, its all about money"! And I still had to mention a figure which later brought about negotiation. Indeed, he was correct, its all about the money. 1 Like 1 Share |

Rilwayne001:Read what about the company exactly? Most companies are coded. You naturally wouldn't find salary talk on their websites. Plus, its not all companies that are so popular. 4 Likes 1 Share |
