Na advice I give, no be insult at all

Butterscotch92:
Please Nairalanders I have an issue that's bothering me.

I recently went for an interview in a financial institution and when asked what my weakness is I answered that I hate taking risks. Is this a disadvantageous thing to say being that financial institutions take risks such as giving loans etc.

At first I was convinced it was a right answer to give being that they won't like to employ someone who may be taking reckless financial risks but on a second thought I feel it may be a problem.

This has been bothering me ever since as I don't want to miss this opportunity due to this (passed through several stages to get to this stage which is the final one).

What do you think? Thanks.

Every weakness, I've come to understand can be turned around into strength. I wish the interviewer pressed further when you said you hate taking risks, then you would have elaborated further and they'll see that in the end, just as you put it here, it is not bad after all.

In an interview back in the days I was asked this question. I told them impatience. The way they looked at me with curious eyes just made me continue talking. I talked about my impatience and one of them began telling me the importance of impatience in getting results. He was the one who finished up the question for me by the telling the others that I'm result oriented and self driven.

Overall if the interview went well, that question may just carry a few marks and won't affect the total score and recommendation by the interviewer. They may just decide to put you in a department where process must be followed and one that doesn't require your input solely to conclude a transaction.

Remain optimistic about the outcome.

I think is better she don't enjoy her sex life than having her life totally destroyed.

How old are you?

You have clearly showed signs of being an underage boy and because of the age I perceive you are, I'll advice that when next you see a thread about anything concerning a girl child, never ever, never you ever suggest 'Female genital mutilation' for any reason except your sense has been removed and used for sacrifice.

I wanted to give you the benefit of doubt by not quoting your first post even though you touched where it hurts most, I allowed myself read two other submissions of yours before ascertaining your real age. Take my advice, no one will tolerate what you've said here in public.

Be guided.
Have sense.

chrisbaxtian:
because you just said you had the means. read the post I quoted again

No, that's not what I said.
Read my first post again please.

chrisbaxtian:
I need loan

Why are you telling me

OMOTOWO:
Good morning.I need a loan of N1m.I can afford to drop my NYSC and HND certificates as collaterals.I will definitely pay back with interest.I need this loan as a capital to start up a business for the benefit of my nuclear family.Someone should please help .Someone should quote me please

The only time I've seen this form of collateral being accepted was during NYSC. All those who wanted Agric loans had to tender their discharge certificate as collateral to secure the loan.

I can bet that over 70% of those facilities will go bad. At least I know one beneficiary who used the money for something else other than Agric.

OP, if it weren't a start up, I would have suggested other ways of securing a loan but since it is for capital, I advise you source for funds through family and friends. Get an interest free 'loan'.

AHCB:
What's the essence of networking then? Or do you mean nepotism?

Lol. You network because man is not an island to himself. You'll need to connect with others who are either searching for the same thing as you are or who are there already to guide you on the path to take.

It doesn't mean nepotism.
Through people (insiders), we've gotten CVs submitted and without their assistance, serious candidates sit and qualify for openings on merit.

That's what I was talking about.

davide470:
Your comments above refers.

You actually owe him something

I wish I can copy and paste like you. However, I advise you go back to the chat trail.

There is a BUT followed by FIRST which I think you and the dude are failing to see.

Kindly revisit.

AHCB:
Oh so manage company salary account, hmmm.

Anyway, I work for Annol Gas And Allied Product Limited. A gas refilling plant. I manage the place.

Lol. Your company is not on Google

cheapphones:
See my first question??
Quit replying me if you're not gonna do as you say.

Hey young man, I owe you NOTHING!

You have no right whatsoever to tell me what to quit doing. You quoted me first. Go face something else and quit disturbing me on my salary. You've quoted me enough!

BoleAndFish:
Just pulling your legs

Lol. I have nothing to say to you now

AHCB:
Not bad. It's a start, a good one at that.
Wanna know how much I earn?

No, I want to know where you work.
I control salaries Just the name of where you work and what you do. I'm fine with that

Jasper83, you have spoken so well.

It's unfortunate to see graduates who have no experience in anything whatsoever applying for jobs and asking people first how much they pay in company XYZ, I find it absurd.

OP, let me digress a bit. I know how much I started with. My motivation has never been money because I believe strongly that I won't die poor. My first job, I had the same qualification as many others there who earned twice what I was paid. But I had no experience and the role was a small one. While there, I was doing more than I was employed to do. Because I had a lot of free time, they gave me books to read, prepare slides and do formal presentations. Initially, I felt like why should I be the one reading books on management to teach the others, can't the others read too? Am I the only jobless one here?

But you see, through humility, I learnt a lot and developed myself. About five months after I left there, I was called back but my value had gone up and they couldn't match it. I walk into the company and they are proud of me because they know I can't share my career story without first starting with them.

I saw myself at the very bottom when I started with them but they saw me differently. The things they made me do which I saw as punishment were the same things which later brought me to where I am now and where I am headed for the future.

For me, vision is key. Everyday I left the office, I walked past a bank's head office and I said to myself, I'll work here. I took a picture of a head office in VI and made it my wallpaper, everytime I looked at the picture, I reminded myself that I was not going to end small. It didn't look it at the time but gradually it began to unfold and is still unfolding. I applied when they advertised, went through the recruitment exercise and in the end, that particular bank offered me employment months after I left the first place where I worked.

You're on the right path. Network. Most importantly associate yourself with the right people. You don't have to 'know' people. Success in life is like magnet, if you work and walk towards it, it will on it's on accord run towards you.

cheapphones:
Now I have asked and its so difficult for you to tell me, see how you contradict yourself? human beings sha

Not at all. It's of no use because you won't be able to make any decision with it when you do not know where I work in the first place.

AHCB:
what's their to refute? You're the one telling, ain't you? Lol

Lol. Okay.
I earn N75,000 before tax.

BoleAndFish:
Send me your CV lemme help you forward it.

You're Godsent. May I have your email address please?

Babacele:

Lol. You know where I work too

AHCB:

AHCB:

cheapphones:
Please how much is your salary and which company? You may be helping a brother.

Hahahaha.

In what way will I be helping a brother?
Tell me first because all my brothers know where I work except you. Are you sure you are a brother

Sleekyshuga:
Hahahaha @ handbook. Let me catch you, Amy . My darling, I do. Thing is, yes, I have dated a few BUT I always confessed with my mouth that marrying from my place maybe a herculean task. When I met R, and things turned yet sour again, I jejely told myself, 'Nne, this is the LAST!!'

Parents (Ohafians) ain't helping us on the other hand. All in a bid to make themselves (not even us) happy, they preach how coming back home to marry still remains the best, and lots, just to make their parents happy end up in marriages they ain't cool with. This was my last argument with my dad, and he truly had to see reasons with me though it wasn't easy convincing him . This isn't the stone age biko. Parents in general should LEARN to allow kids make their CHOICES as they will be the ones to live with their success or mistakes..

Lastly, I'm happy you still have the exceptional ones. I try not to judge ALL with the mistake/life choice of another.

Lolz. Shuga we have suffered a lot in the hands of some unscrupulous men from your place o. Sometimes I think your men deliberately marry our women to punish them for the wars our fathers fought over land with your forefathers History has it that they were brothers. But that was in the past Na.

Right now, I see no reason why it should be so. I attended a burial in my final year in Ohafia from school. I didn't tell my dad before embarking on that journey. Drove with friends to the place. Do you know that it was while we were driving into the babe's compound my dad called, when I told him where I was, he felt threatened. Lol. If he was in the village then, he would have come for me there and then. He kept calling until we left.

My friend's uncle was showing me to all the family members introducing me to them as the daughter of warriors and them reminding me of my people's stubbornness That their forefathers were older and the land belongs to them as their birthright. Lol

Trivial issues like this are extended into marriages. I think with the age we are in, walls are being pulled down. You travel out and meet yourselves, there's no talk about the communal clashes. Even though I recently met one calabar boy and the first thing that came to my mind as I teased him was that his people destroyed our farmlands and he accused us of always crossing boundaries. Lol

We are funny in Africa

I don't know why salaries are clouded with so much... I don't even know what to call it.

But it's a very simple thing.
I can tell anyone my salary anytime of the day. All you need do is ask.

But first, I need to drop my CV at Bank of Industry. If you know how I can do that, oblige me please.

Sleekyshuga:
My dear, I'm not surprised. Nothing surprises me anymore as long as relationship is involved. What I still don't understand is how these set of humans still sleep, and wake up ..

True at Ohafians playing away match, and coming back to pledge allegiance, all in a bid to please parents.. Phewwwww!!!

Lol. You know your people well

We have their handbook in my community. You people have showed us shege so much that old women draw the ears of young ladies to warn them of Ohafia men.

I fear your men even though I have some cool headed friends who are exceptions from the 'norm'.
