U should have used "yo" , anyway, I'm sure pple would learn from this thread. The day I used the word "lolz" for a friend when chatting, she was surprised because I have never used such. Even o'level students nowadays are worst |
Re: One Word That Denied Me My First Job Offer In An Interview by Nobody: 2:36pm On Jun 23, 2015 |
I don't think that was it... Except you said it to many times in the interview. |
Re: One Word That Denied Me My First Job Offer In An Interview by thefakestan: 2:36pm On Jun 23, 2015 |
Sorry it was more than the "yea" Your speaking skill was as poor are your writing skill. Just maybe. ThefakeStan 2 Likes |

Ambi25:I seriously doubt that was the cause of your not landing the job, moreso for a store keeper position in a hotel. It is highly unlikely that the interviewer is a core HR person who will give attention to such little things. I seriously doubt saying "yea", instead of "yes" can deny you "store keeping" job in a hotel, not a newscasting job, not a job in GE, not a job in even KPMG. I have similar experience with same word: yea. My own was probably worse, I was expressly corrected by the interviewer (the COO of a downstream oil company). "Please don't say 'yeah' to me again", she expressly told me in that chat (Meet the COO chat - after passing all previous stages). I apologized and the conversation continued. Guess what? I mistakenly answered "yeah" again less than 2 minutes after that correction. She didn't bother to say anything the second time, she knows this guy's case is irredeemable(LOL). And I still got the job. This was 2008 as an entry level candidate, and this woman was the most feared in that company. My case was worse, as I was expressly corrected and I still committed it the second time. But they didn't think it was strong enough for me not to get the job. *** Related: I was in another interview few years after and I used "guys" to describe the management of my then current company. I said "These guys have done well managing this company, but I needed to move one..." One of the interviewers - again a woman - interjected, "who are the guys?", and I told her I was referring to the Executive Management of my then company. She commented that it wasn't polite of me to address my management as "guys", and we continued our conversation. 8 Likes |

Ambi25:If 'Yea' is the only reason why they denied you the job, then they should go to hell with their job. They never intended giving it to you in the first place. |
Re: One Word That Denied Me My First Job Offer In An Interview by bodeoni: 2:39pm On Jun 23, 2015 |
OP are you sure that's what made you loose the job. I very much doubt that. |

They should have told you why you didn't pass the interview rather than telling you that they would get back to you.That means you are on their reserved list. |

So you passed the written test, then 'yeah' no let you get job, please be truthful. My people for NL help Me judge this matter. You write test get 9.5 over 10 then teacher say you fail. If yeah is the reason why they denied you the job truth is they never really wanted you to get the job. Yeah is in the dictionary. |
