Some Interview Responses You Wouldn't Dare Give

There are many things we really want to say during a job interview that we wouldn’t say because such truths will definitely set us free from getting the job. So if the job isn’t your dream job career-wise, chances are that the rest of us have to lie at some point but we would call it being diplomatic. Some of our mental responses to interview questions will probably be;

Tell me about yourself;

Everything I can say is already on my CV so I’d rather you ask specific questions.

Why do you want this job?

Sigh. This question again. Well, I really need the money and this is the only way I know how to go about getting it.

Why do you want to work with us?

To be honest, I just want to do this because it’s my only option at the moment while I work on getting my dream job.

What are your strengths?

I’m a really good footballer and a good cook too, those are my strong points.

What are your weaknesses?

I sleep a lot, like a whole lot but that will definitely change when I get this job.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

I really don’t know but I intend to have gotten my dream job, get my master’s degree and have a lot of money too then probably start a family.

Are you a good team player?

Only if I’m being paid to but I’d rather work on my own.

How soon can you resume if you’re offered this job?

I can resume immediately, after I have breakfast though.

How did you hear about this job?

My aunt works here so I guess that explains it.

What’s the principle you live your life according to?

YOLO - you only live once.

All in all, you need the money and experience (except its your dream job), they (the organisation) need someone to fill up the post, make it worthwhile. Sell yourself diplomatically without using any of the above answers oh, don't say its me that said it. If you don't get the job, go home, drink water and work on being 'the one' at the next one.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
