wait o, the increment brought the salary to 15,000? how much was she earning before? that is just pathetic

Even the 15K is too poor let alone what she was earning before.

After 2019, Nigerians must change the meaning of clueless in the English Dictionary.

GEJ TILL 2019

Bad guy!

[quote author=SSSlytherin2 post=30822674]And they call him the "clueless" one.
GEJ all the way.
Those who call him clueless are clueless themselves.Wisemen do not make noise about their wisdom.

Am 100% sure

Do you know the meaning of certitude?

Any job hunter would be wise to seek out common interview questions and think about his answers beforehand, but what about the questions that haven’t made it onto the lists yet?
One question I’ve heard asked is some variation of, “Tell me something I wouldn't know from looking at your CV,” or “Tell me something no one else knows about you.”
This question seems to be becoming increasingly common, but it’s still not one that job applicants are routinely preparing for. That means it’s a good place for you to shine.
What is the recruiter looking for?
Of course, I can’t say exactly what any specific recruiter is looking for when she asks a question like this, but I can give you some possible ideas. She might be looking to see:
1.How do you organize your thoughts?If you’re telling an anecdote or story, is it well thought out and well told? Do you connect topics and events linearly, or jump all around?
2.Can you think on your feet?Because this is a less common question, the interviewer may be trying to get you away from canned, rehearsed answers and see if they can get a glimpse of the real you.
3.What doyouconsider most important for the interviewer to know?What comes out as an answer to this question could say a lot about you. Do you tell a story about your philanthropy and charity work, or about your many awards and accolades, or about family and hobbies?
4.Are you able to relate the story back to the job?It’s a nice indication of higher-level thinking if you can tell a personal story but relate the points about you back to why you would be a good candidate for the job.
5.Are you saying anything you shouldn’t?This isn’t to say that interviewers are trying to trip you up, but they will always be listening for things you shouldn’t reveal about current or former employers, or anything personal that might make them question your qualifications for the job.
Remember, their job is to find the best candidate, so it makes sense that they want to move you away from more rehearsed speeches into more authentic territory — even if that authentic territory doesn’t put you in the best light.
How to prepare for this question.
As with all interview questions, it’s important to think about how you might answer, but don’t compose your answer and memorize it word for word — any savvy interviewer will be able to tell.
Since this is an open-ended question, your answer is an opportunity for you to highlight aspects of your qualifications, history, or skills that might not be immediately noticeable in your resume.
*.Keep your core strengths in mind.Go into every interview with a good idea of the core strengths you would bring to the job, and then take the chance to highlight those skills with your answer. For example, if you want to emphasize your organizational skills in a particular interview, you might tell a story of how you organized an elaborate fundraiser at your child’s school, or how you were the president of a particular club at university.
*.Think about intangible strengths and soft skills.Your resume should highlight achievements and metrics, but this is your opportunity to highlight your best soft skills. If, for example, your resume says you exceeded your sales goals by a certain percent, you could elaborate by explaining that you were able to do that because of your excellent people skills or your dedication to following up with your leads.
*.Share something personal.If the question comes towards the end of the interview, and you feel you’ve already been able to make your case for your job skills, you might choose to highlight something from your personal life that reflects well on your character. Consider sharing only personal things that are universally accepted as positive, like being an avid chess player or enjoying mountain climbing, rather than anything that could be considered controversial, like volunteering with a political cause or being involved in a counterculture.
*.Explain why you want the job.This is a great place in the interview to explain why you are particularly passionate about the job. If something in the job description excited you or any personal connection for the field. For example, I knew a young woman who was practically falling out of her chair to apply for a marketing position with a Parkinson's charity because of the work they had done to help her father. This kind of personal connection can demonstrate that you would bring extra passion and energy to the position.
Figuring out how to answer these more open-ended and personal questions is like solving a riddle; the answer should show how you fit into this new job opportunity. As important as it is to think about these questions before you go into the interview, it’s equally important that your answers sound friendly and conversational, not memorized and rehearsed.
In the end, you should feel glad if you get one of these questions in an interview, because they afford you the opportunity to be your real self and highlight any of your best qualities that don’t fit into the resume template.
Have you had this question put to you in an interview? How did you respond? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments below.

BrokenTV:
Since na Lalastica am sure of making frontpage and lifting the trophy of first to comment.
God bless Jonathan as we make it to failbuhari.
Ok i have decided to change my mind i will only sell this space for 1million dollars, bidders over to you.

This "first to comment" guys sounded so stupid in the early days of "first to comment craze".But these days they are just so funny.

Keneking:
I am sure he discharged him quickly..wanting to meet with Buhari as soon as possible.

Click like if you agree that he would spend maximum of 2hours with GEJ and more than 6hours with GMB and even do dinner with the APC Team.

GEJ is a president of a nation and a very busy man.He does not have all the time in the world to be spending with John Kerry who is not his counterpart.
As for buhari,he is not doing anything,so he can even spend the whole day with John Kerry.

yemivictor:
America had said they would reduce their oil consumption by exploring cleaner energy sources since the days of Bush.
Jonah may not have started this but what did he use the information for?
How would you rate Nigerian farmers on a scale of 1 - 10 in terms of mechanized farming? 1 being abysmal and 10 being excellent.
What is the duty payable when you import a tractor?
Should we have invested in local assembly plants for tractors first or saloon cars and luxury jeeps?!
What is being done as incentives to turn the army of graduates (50% half baked anyway) being churned out yearly to agriculture?!
We have a cash crop called cassava with great export potential. How many cassava processing plants are there? What is the export rate?!
If we process cassava before we export it we create more jobs locally or do we plan to go the way of crude oil with that one too?! But wait, where is the steady power to run the plants? Let me guess, power outage didn't start with Jonathan.
Enough of Jonathanians blaming his predecessors! It's called assets and liabilities!!

You have said nothing reasonable.All the problems you mentioned has been with nigeria for decades and Jonathan on them.Go through what you wrote again.

Oil slump: Dollar now sells for N208. Jona
might not certainly have control over forces
controlling oil price, but what happen to
diversification. Only a clueless president does
not understand d risk of overdependence on
one sector. Yet he keeps fooling Nigerians
(those who want to be fooled, not me) that he
has made Nigerian economy d largest in
Africa. with this kind of devaluation imagine
how our naira would be in d nxt 3-4 yrs if he's
re-elected. # wewantchange#

Is it in Jonathan's administration that nigeria started over dependence on oil revenue?You people are always looking for unjustifiable ways to crucify this innocent man.

coolhamid:
Since the party was not mentioned that clearly shows its PDP..
If it were to be APC, they would have mention the party...
PDP causing havoc in Nigeria since 1999..

Didnt you read that the police are non-partisan?If they mention the party,it will seem they are supporting that party against the other.That they did not mention it does not necessarily mean it's the ruling party.It could be the opposition.

Beamborla:
Lolest... this 'rich' thing again? lemme reserve my comment.

I reserve my comment too.I will PM you

Beamborla:
Big boys? No, I want a 'real' man

A big boy is a real man.BIG BOY is just a phrase to describe a man who is rich.It does not mean he is immature cos of the "boy" in the phrase.

Beamborla:
Lol... I want a real husband not a Nairaland husband

Lol...There are big boys on nairaland o.They are just hiding themselves.

Beamborla:
I can allow my husband do the first but the second, no way! I would rather back the baby while he carry the bag before all his family members start pleading with me or shouting at me to untie their son. That aside, I wouldn't want anyone to disrespect him or fingers pointing at him whenever he steps out.

Nice comment.This can fetch you a husband here on nairaland o.Say amen.

Great piece.

People are so curious.Somebody just did hmmmmmm and he has 24 views already.Me i just came to see what you people are viewing.

For saying he will regulate global oil prices,Buhari is intellectually unfit to rule Nigeria.

Another way to extort money from pupils.

why shud they even ban it in the first place

Because they wanted to give the credit to a whiteman in Atlanta but he refused.They really messed up by trying to pay him off with a paltry 10million naira not even dollars.

These are not secrets but strategies.Behind every successful man is a secret he can never reveal.There are company secrets which his competitors must not know.You think he would just come out and tell the world the secrets of his company and success?I dont think so.

san316:
Oh boy eh! Who keeps wild animals in residential areas. I thought wild dogs are only let out at night and within the owners compound. Kudos to the woman, a mother's love fos her child knows no danger. Those yeye policemen and lookers-on abi na onlookers must be prosecuted. Bunch of cowards!

You are right to call them cowards.Are there no men among the onlookers that two ferocious dogs drag a human being and a little boy for that matter,for one and half hour?They were all busy shouting like women.The life of a dog is worthless compared to a human being.If one brave man had confronted the dogs with a sharp cutlass,with an intent to kill them if need be,the boy would have been saved earlier without harm.All the men that stood there watching should be ashamed of themselves.

4tunebest: Who says you can't meet your soulmate on NL?

Nairaland connecting people since 1859

The woman is a shy kisser.Her hands should be around his shoulders and not on his chest.

Idrismusty97: IMO, the third is actually four. It can be seen by counting the tiny square boxs on the far left. Let me place arrows as a clue. That is the only clue i will give out.

The third picture is neither 4 nor 3.It's an optical illusion.

There is nothing wrong with public schools generally unless the decline in standard in Nigeria.

Davijunson: Talk abt luxurious life of Arabs. If Students Ride cars like dis den why go to sch?

Making money is not the primary reason for going to school..

L90 is better.

It's working now.WhatsApp is a great App.
