tolutweety: Mine wasn't really a weird question, it wsn't even a question at all.
I found the conversation funny but interesting n i wish to share it.
After passing tru the pre-SRD stages of this oil n gas coy,I finally sat down during the last phase of the interview with two gentlemen in a room.
First man: i am ??, works in HR Dept and I have been in this coy for close to 15yrs.
Second man: i am ??, I am in 'ds Dept'... and I got into this coy 6yrs ago., so may we meet u.....
Me: i am ??, I will be working in 'ds dept'... and I am doing the interview that will make me start the work,... So no yrs spent so far!! *smiles*

.....and they both bursted out laughing!!

I wasn't meant to start that way,had a better approach to introducing myself buh dint knw why the comic part of me took over...lol
I smiled in the end., cos the interview ended up being a friendly discussion.

When I reflect, I still see it as weird and I just laugh.

Did u get d job

Slimmos: Pls keep it rolling for we d undergraduate so dat we can learn more

Okay. If you insist. In my case I was asked why I left my former job (poor management issues, really) and I gave it to them raw. I told them the exact truth.

Next time, said they, don't be too 'graphic' but just say 'due to poor management...' They knew, however, that I was telling the truth.

I got the job!

Hmm reminds me of when I went for my interview for a position in a major TV house. The chairman's massive office with over 20 flatscreen TVs first of all threw me off guard shocked. Then after going thru my credentials, he calmly asked, at what age where you disvirgined shocked shocked shocked I almost passed out lipsrsealed He had some 'big' people in his office, and they all were staring at me, almost mischieviously daring me to speak lipsrsealed) When I regained my composure, he told me he wasn't interested in the answer at all, but if I wanted to be a media person, I must be prepared for all kinds of questions at all times.
He then proceeded to ask me that why are there so many HIV/AIDS cases in my state. Instead of arguing, I calmly told him people were not obeying the ABCs of sex and AIDS. He then said how would I advise his son (who also happened to be in the office at that time)on the choice of a wife between a girl from somewhere in Calabar where they allegedly eat humans ( lipsrsealed) and my state where they have high HIV rate! Then he asked me to suggest a possible media campaign strategy to help reduce HIV prevalence in my state...
It turned out to be quite an interesting discussion, not even an interview per se. And I got the job, effective immediately cheesy
