I just graduated recently and I was oppotuned to be called for an interview by a petroleum industry in my country. After asking series of questions ,I extracted my question from theirs.
"Now that we’ve talked about my qualifications and the job, do you have any concerns about my being successful in this position"
This question caught them unaware. I was surprised at their countenance and the response I got from the first interviewer wasn't okay. I pointed out the flimsy response and the manager came in with a question from my question.
"For you have any plan to make this company achieve more in the department you are applying for?
Thank God i already prepared myself well before attending the interview. I answerd yes. From my research, I discovered that workers in this department I m applying for close at the exact time stipulated By the company,and since there is a rule that says overtime is welcome, I will use this opportunity to address the lapses present at the moment. I will find a way to encourage the workers to spend more time and i believe this will highly increase the productivity.
The manager responded and I reminded them of my question.
He now said there us reward for every outstanding ideas. Promotions is also reserved for best workers and series of motivations too.
I just have to summerise the conversation but it took us a long time as they wanted to find my fault and use my question to make fall.
Still waiting for their call as promised. Its a week now from interview.
Several years ago while i was very young,i went for a job interview and during the course of interview i told the
interviewer exactly in these words “what if i am willing to
work for you for free”??the interviewer had an expression on his face which showed he was shocked to hear
that,the question which i asked him sounded weird to him and it led to a conversation that lased for a long
time because he started to see me as an interesting and weird job seeker,,after a long conversation he gave
me the job and even offered me a high salary than what i was expecting,,according to my observation based on
what he said i think the major reason he gave me the job and was even paid high salary was because he felt i
was so determined to succeed and gain experience from the job,and as a young man i sounded like
someone who cares more about the passion he has for a job and not the salary....
