2. The Mute One: I'm sure most people would agree with me when I say that there must be this one person who refuses to utter a single word while waiting to be called for an interview. He/She keeps quiet unless, they are called upon or asked a question
These ones usually get the job.

You're very correct. We call them the underdogs. No one notices them until their monthly alerts start showing on their faces.

Nice one op!!
There are these group ( I don't no how to categorize them), they wait outside for anyone who has been interviewed, they will ask u how was the interview, what kind of ?s were u asked, why did u stay long etc.
Another set of ppl that will ask u What position did u apply for.
I tire ooooooo

The noisy ones are usually the well prepared ones. It's just like what happens in schools. I fall into the category of the noisy ones really. The people I chat with most are the quiet ones. I usually will like to know why they're so quiet. I like to 'size up' other applicants whenever I go for an interview. Within a few minutes of initiating the 'how are yous', I already know who the real threat is. wink

Lol...I'm sure,its ur type dt would want to find out questions that were asked from applicants before u go in for ur own interview.

Bro, don't know why am just thinking you can be of immense help to me. Taking you influence in your company into account.

[size=24pt]Experienced Applicants

What about the type of applicants who tell you/gist wth a fellow applicant about their experience in the over 100 interviews/tests that they have attended...

A typical line will be like...

Experienced Applicant: "Were you at Flour Mills test?

Friend: No.

Experienced Applicant: "Meeen you need to have seen the crowd...far more than the crowd @ GT Bank test!"[/size]

Morning guys. Right now am in Lekki and awaiting to be interview by the CEO of this coy. While waiting for several minutes to be intervied, I actually took time to study the applicants around me hence this topic. I hope this correlates but here are my findings..

1. The Two Jolly Friends: Alright, here's a typical example of me and my friend. We went together for this interview and since we knew each other outside this room, we kept on gisting about how the job is gonna be, how ugly this girl was and so on.

2. The Mute One: I'm sure most people would agree with me when I say that there must be this one person who refuses to utter a single word while waiting to be called for an interview. He/She keeps quiet unless, they are called upon or asked a question.

3. The Noise Makers: These ones are found always. They will make noise no matter the situation. Talking about stuff that's important and the ones which are not important. Funny enough, the noise makers actually end up being the cute ladies and guys. Don't really know why. But presently, that is what I have noticed.

4. The Over Sabi: Yes! This ones eh.. Ok sha. This type of applicants will just be asking questions like Soyinka. The very minute they flop, they will just wanna enter the ground. I have seen typical examples this morning. After a staff gave us (applicants) a salient briefing, someone still rose his/her hand to ask a question which already had an answer in the staffs briefing.

5. The Enigma: Hehehehe... I'm not being biased ooo but this particular one here refers to me. You see, I prefer doing 20% of everything cheesy. When its time to talk, I talk. When its time to STFU, I do exactly that and when its time to flirt grin , I do that aswelll.

So this are the 5 types of applicants you find in a waiting room to be interviewed..

Wish me luck oo..

Have a nice day..

I wish you the very best of luck because you need it. Go back to item No. 4 (over sabi)....you said someone rose his hands. The correct tense is raised.

Again all the best.
