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...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography) about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
