ok so im interviewing at the mo… my confidence has been knocked a fair bit due to certain issues that developed in my last post (over-zelaous, fiery, power crazed female manager whose motto: “my way or the high way sweetheart”)..... im getting better but i have to say i had an inteview yesterday n it had to be one of the worst/ obscure ones…..
it was this small financial group that was just gettin started so they wanted a junior to come on board to perform ad hoc tasks n help out n then hopefully be trained on more stuff with time… bein an area i am v interested in i was excited about it…
sittin in reception the guy comes in (with his lunch in hand) and gives me this lil motion with his hand to follow him, bit casual but ok i thought.. we go in… he starts havin his lunch in front of me…. first question before iv even sat down he says “so wat irritates u”... taken aback by this i try think of a diplomatic answer… then more questions as such follows…. wat do u like in a job…wat dont u like? then my religion comes up.. he asks “so do u pray, fast etc…are u religous” ... and basically the interview went on like that….
nothin was asked as to what aspirations i have… why i want to come on board… wat qualities are right for the job etc.. very obscure…. i walked away totally deflated…i think its v unfair for a guy like that to abuse his position… fair enuf if he was tryin to suss out my personality but he seemed to be questionin it too… ah well…u live n learn eh?!!
