Nairaland General4 Pitfalls To Avoid In Answering "Why Are You Interested In This Position?" by khalhokage(op): 4:37pm On Mar 06, 2016
Hiring managers don't always say what's on their minds , and sometimes this results in a less effective interviewing experience for you, the job candidate. But, regardless of how good or bad your interviewer is, you'll very likely still get this question: "Why are you interested in this position?"

The reason for that is because your answer says a lot about all of the most important things the interviewer will be evaluating: your skills, your cultural fit, and your interest. In other words, this is definitely not a question you want to screw up. Here are four common mistakes and how to avoid them.

1. You never talk about the company

I recently had a conversation with a recruiter, and she shared this great tidbit with me about what she considers to be the kiss of death for interviews. When people answer, "Why are you interested in this position?" with something about being passionate about programming, writing, or some other skill with no mention at all about the actual company, it's immediately a red flag. Think about it this way: You can bring your skills anywhere. The trick is explaining why you want to use them for this particular company.

2. You only say what's in it for you

This mistake is particularly common because, well, this is what the question is asking for, isn't it? Maybe this job would give you the chance to learn a lot about marketing, or it's an opportunity to grow your quantitative analysis skills — that's great, but it's not what your interviewer really wants to hear. At the moment, the hiring manager isn't the most invested in what's in it for you; he or she wants to know what's in it for the company. The solution? Align your interests and say something about your enthusiasm for using your skills to contribute to the company's greater goal.

3. You bring up points that aren't relevant

In the heat of the moment, it can be really tempting to reveal that the office is actually quite close to your daughter's school or how the company's flexible hours policy would make it easier to carpool with your roommate, but don't give in. These are nice perks , but (hopefully) they're not the only reason why this position is exciting for you. Plus, you'll be giving up an opportunity to share the more relevant ones.

4. You answer the wrong question

Have you ever gone on a date with someone who wouldn't stop talking about his or her ex? Well, turns out this happens during job interviews, too. Don't be that person who can't shut up about why you need to leave your old job, stat. Even if the reason you're job searching is directly related to your previous position, focus on the future. Bring up the skills you've developed for sure, but no need to dive into the history of how you acquired them.

This seemly innocuous question is a surprisingly tricky one, especially if you try to answer it without first thinking about your audience. Read this to learn more about how to answer this question strategically. Then, get your story straight, and remember who you're talking to. It's just one question, but it can completely shape the way an interviewer views your candidacy.

This list is quite intresting. I like the way the OP breaks it down. Not the trash spewed out by Creationist websites who choose selective belief and disbelief. They believe in Speciation but think Natural selection is trash. Some even say Fossils don't exist!


Anyways, I like the way you correct the different impressions echoed out by both evolutionists and creationist website to the unsuspecting,innocent reader.

Science/TechnologyTop 5 Evolution Misconceptions You Should Stop Believing by khalhokage(op): 5:17pm On Feb 20, 2016
Given its huge success in describing the natural world for the past 150 years, the theory of evolution is remarkably misunderstood, i suspect the common misconceptions described below have something to do with it.

1. It’s just a theory

Yes, scientists call it the “theory of evolution”, but this is in recognition of its well accepted scientific standing. The term “theory” is being used in the same way that gravitational theory explains why, when an apple falls from your hand, it goes towards the ground. There is no uncertainty that the apple will fall to the ground, in the same way that there is no uncertainty that bugs resistant to antibiotics will continue to evolve if we do not curb our general use of antibiotics.

Although people use “theory” in everyday conversation to mean a not necessarily proven hypothesis, this is not the case in scientific terms. A scientific theory typically means a well substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that sits above laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.
2. Humans are descended from monkeys

No, your great-great-great-ancestor was not a monkey. Evolution theory indicates that we have common ancestors with monkeys and apes — among the existing species, they are our closest relatives. Humans and chimpanzees share more than 90% of their genetic sequence . But this common ancestor, which roamed the Earth approximately 7 million years ago was neither a monkey nor a human, but an ape-like creature that recent research suggests had traits that favored the use of tools.

3. Natural selection is purposeful

There are many organisms that are not perfectly adapted to their environment. For example, sharks don’t have a gas bladder to control their buoyancy (which bony fish typically use). Does this refute the theory of evolution? No, not at all. Natural selection can only randomly favor the best of what is available, it does not purposefully turn all living organisms into one super creature.

It would be really convenient if humans could photosynthesize; hunger could be immediately cured by standing in the sun (and the much-sought miracle diet would have been found: stay inside). But alas, the genetic ability to photosynthesize has not appeared in animals. Still, selection of the best option possible has led to an amazing diversity of forms remarkably well adapted to their environments, even if not perfect.
4. Evolution can’t explain complex organs

A common argument in favor of creationism is the evolution of the eye. A half developed eye would serve no function, so how can natural selection slowly create a functional eye in a step-wise manner? Darwin himself suggested that the eye could have had its origins in organs with different functions. Organs that allow detection of light could then have been favored by natural selection, even if it did not provide full vision. These ideas have been proven correct many years later by researchers studying primitive light-sensing organs in animals. In mollusks like snails and segmented worms, light-sense cells spread across the body surface can tell the difference between light and dark.

5. Religion is incompatible with evolution

It is important to make it clear that evolution is not a theory about the origin of life. It is a theory to explain how species change over time. Contrary to what many people think, there is also little conflict between evolution and most common religions. Pope Francis recently reiterated that a belief in evolution isn’t incompatible with the Catholic faith. Going further, the reverend Malcolm Brown from the Church of England stated that “natural selection, as a way of understanding physical evolutionary processes over thousands of years, makes sense.” He added: “Good religion needs to work constructively with good science” and vice-versa. I fully agree.
