Adebimpe1: I feel as though you have changed your stance from your earlier position of asking silly questions at interviews. Is my understanding wrong?. Anyway, wish us all the best in our endeavors. Let us stay professional. 1 Like |

Aniomaman81: Thanks Director. And yes, I've heard your quote and even used it several times. Sometime in the past, I was interviewed for a control room operator position in Lagos. I was interviewed by the HR personnel (HR director, manager and account officer) and the questions asked were actually in-appropriate. I was expecting questions in the area being recruited for and some other personal questions that nairalanders have termed "silly", but the HR guys are sneaky guys, and asked wrong questions. Not a single technical question was put forward and I left thinking I had mistakenly attended the wrong interview. Fast-forward two months, I got a call from the operation & maintenance manager of the same power plant and I was re-interviewed, got the job and moved on. I resumed to learn that the former guy recruited caused a big loss by over-filling the generators with lube oil. Hydro-lock occurred and crankshafts were damaged. About 78 million naira was spent to fix them. All because some HR guys recruited the wrong guy. The whole HR were fired. Please know, that I don't ask silly questions in interviews as you all think. If I happen to be in the team to recruit, I ask one or two technical questions, and few so called "silly" alcohol/drug/emotional based questions. If asking personal question like alcohol, emotional and stressed-based questions are silly, then we are in trouble. Random alcohol/drug test are usually done in standard organizations; mine included and these are standards. Most young guys like myself sees such questions as personal, even though it is not. A company that wants to employ you has the right to know you as a person. Now tell me, would you criticize someone in your team for asking such questions in interviews? Are such question, in your own understanding, silly? Let's learn from each other. |

nmreports: Do you know what these guys are calling "silly" question? 1. Do you take alcohol? How often? 2. Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Ever been in crime related case with the police? 3. How do you manage your emotions at the work place? How will you react if one of your team mates did or say something you don't regard as a joke? 4. Are you married? How often do you jump in and out of intimate relationships? The above questions may seem personal, yes! But an interviewer needs to know if you are a random drinker, a criminal, a hot-tempered person who will end up breaking another employee's head, or a guy who will be recruited today and he'll resign tomorrow, thereby keeping the company at "oh-God". A guy who cannot keep a relationship cannot be committed to a job. It may sound funny, but a recent survey has proved it. Let's learn from each other. |

Adebimpe1: I am not going to argue on this topic. I think it depends on the part of the world we live and work. In my part of the world, you cannot dabble into personal unrelated question with a candidate / potential employee. |

Come on dude, you have bee spitting of how a certified black belter or whatever. Take this advise, I was only 28 when I started heading a team of only 4 people, who achived close to that amount you quoted. Fastforward 6 years, the company has left nigeria. I burnt bridges, I made enemies cos of my irrational judgement. I stole millions, and spent them that way. Right now, I have downgraded massively, I wish I can right some wrong. So take a chill pill. You can get fired tomorow, grow up, wake up. 1 Like |
