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.

bigsam360:
The bolded, what is the preferred answer to it?!

My first time to read all pages of a thread from one to d last(page6). Keep d comment coming Abeg

Kachisbarbie:
Lol. He asked me that question, I told him truetalk , I would have loved to join the military but I've done surgical operation(s).
I don't like NPF, and there is no 'MONEY' there sef.

The most interesting tin abt this interview was that, the co-interviewer was a guy that bin wan date me. He didn't even do like he knows me from Adams, and was seriously firing me counter questions.

CityNG:

It's a moving target.

Hopefully you would have done your homework on the company and the position and know that they are looking for.

If they are looking to hire say a Pilot for a Gulfstream.

Q:Why should I hire you?

A: I believe that my 15,000 combined hours of flying in which 10,000 was in Gulfstream Bleep coupled with the fact that I was a test pilot for Gulfstream factory for X years has prepared me well for this position. I was also the executive flight manager for the shah of timbuktu.

Employers simple want the most qualified employee, that will fit in well with the existing crew and can hit the ground running. I know that's what I look for.

Khalessi: Do you suck?

sawhite: babe u fine gan oo

polymathic: Names, if u mind... Know almost erryone in both dept... Altho might not rem some names, but I do knw them all

godG:

Useless without pins. BTW, never underestimates its potential as an opener.

chyna4luv: and she has indirectly assured me that I would work in her department and that before I leave, I would use her PC to do a little calculation for her using MS Excel. I began to happy in my mind and thanking GOD internally.
But something happened along the scenerio, hmmm. Wait a minute! she said! In laughter and joking mood she asked, Where would you see yourself in five years time?
'CHAI! NA HERE YAWA COM GAS.' Instead of me to say something in accordance or inline with her department, since she has indirectly assured me to work in her department as a Teller, I began to say rubbish. The interviewer's mood changed. In a frown face, she now asked me to go without typing again.
At this point, I knew that I have failed.After two weeks they contacted those that passed for an induction and didn't contact me. Suppossing I got that job,honestly I will be influencing my boss easily based on my chat with her, Lol.

MAJOLAUTOS:


The response could have been: Though I do not have experience on this job, but I am very motivated to learn more and improve the skills acquired in the University if I am employed. More so I am motivated by challenges and I have great problem-solving skills. To prove this, I have done so and so certifications which has proved my technical know-how regarding this position.

Victoriousvic: Interviewer: Why did you bring your bag in with you?

Me: I'm sorry, I wasn't told not to bring it in. Please permit me to drop it outside.

Interviewer: No. I'm not saying it's wrong. Why did you bring it in?

Me: Well, I've got some important items in my bag. So, mainly for security reasons.

Interviewer: So, you don't trust the people out there right?

Me: No one can be trusted sir.

Interviewer: Do you trust me?

Me: I can't exactly say yes, cos I'm just meeting you for the first time.

Interviewer: Really? Okay, do you trust me enough to give this position to you?

Me: In that case, yes.

Interviewer: I thought you didn't trust me.

Me: I didn't mean it in that aspect sir.

Interviewer: Why do you trust me to give you this position, if you don't trust me in terms of other things?

Mhen.. I was speechless. I got the position though.

jobsat34:

yea yu are right, but the emphasis was laid on associating with cult..
actually a friend of mine told me that, what she actually intended to hear was how i associate with people on campus and not necessarily limited to the secret cult..

amnestylaw1:

The Yorubas will say: "Oruko omo lo 'nro omo" Check your moniker and you'll understand why you got the job.

Hehe.. I know, right?

It wasn't exactly for a job though. Just a recruitment interview to be a member of the organisation.

pendusky: I was asked

The man; "you studied engineering right"?

me; yes sire

The man; How do you write 4 in between 5?

me: that simple sire, [ he gave me a paper and a Biro and I wrote F(IV)E. ] that is it sire.

The man; you must be a genius. come back tomorrow for your medicals. U are truly genius

That's all and I was employed.

lolaluv1: My interview wasnt weird so to say. Imma share for the benefit of those attending interviews.

1. When I was getting interviewed for my present job, I had to face a panel of about 5 people at the first point.

Immediately I entered, one of them was like. So you are from my old school. Great ******** . Do have a seat. You do not have any problems.

A little bit wary about being trapped into overfamiliarity, I gingerly took a seat with a polite smile and a soft Thank you.

Interviewers: Tell us about yourself.

I answered.

Interviewers: From what we can see here (brandishing my CV), you'd be of much benefit to education. Why choose us?

I answered.

Then the one from my school was like: Do you know Aluko. He is from your village. He was our SUG president back then. Very short and stubborn man.

Me: I've heard of him, sir.

The others were laughing at him saying: You were in Uni in the 80s. She just left school. Of course, She won't know him.

Before I knew it the interview ended on a very friendly note. The stern woman in the panel every interviewee had been complaining about was just staring at me. She didn't utter a word. When She spoke, it was "It's getting late".

That was How I breezed through first level.

Kimmo: I'd written in my cv that I like reading, and one of the guys asked me about it.
I almost started mentioning Dale Carnegie and other motivation writers but something told me to stick to the truth.
So I said, yes, fiction mostly.
The guy just asked, "what was the name of Sirius Brown's house?

This is my second year on the job.
Edit: Someone mentioned the "where do you see yourself in five years" question. I was asked too, and I'm particularly proud of myself for the response I gave.
I gave my thinking face for a few seconds and asked "How long does it take to become First Line Manager"? Me wey I already know say na four years.

polymathic: like I sed might not rem most names again.... Truth s can't rem any name again in all these dept.. Just knw them by face.. But tis all good tho
