Rebarobyn:

I have never been to a glo interview but typical questions most corporate organisations ask entry level staff include:

tell us about yourself- you'll do a brief summary of your background, education, work experience, personal aspirations and goals (this question is mostly to test your eloquence, your composure and ability to stay on track and not digress from the question, it is generally to look at the way you talk and comport yourself. However, they may ask further questions on things you've said at this stage that interests them)

why do you want to with this organisation (glo)- is it the fact that it is a prestigious world class org., it is a challenging place to work, here you have an opportunity to praise glo as an org, but don't over-do it, you'll appear like a sycophant.

how do you think you can add value to us?---here you have to sell yourself, I am a broad minded person, I have the ability to see the bigger picture, I am a very fast learner and I easily adapt to change and this is what orgs. need in these days of fast changing economies and businesses etc.---pls know what you are saying o, don't shoot yourself in the foot!

have you ever had to work in a team, tell us about your role and achievements in the team?---make sure you focus on the team, don't blow your own trumpets, you will appear like you are not a team player. just say what your team achieved and how you contributed!

they can also ask you about the project you did in University?----an overview and what your results were ----they want to know if you bought your way through university.

They can ask you very personal questions about your family (which in most cases is to probe your sense of responsibility)? make them believe you love your family and they've been very supportive of you.

If you've worked before, they'll definitely ask you about where you've worked and what job tasks you performed there and your achievements, awards etc?, don't lie about what you've not achieved, be truthful

they'll also ask you why you left your former employer? the first rule - never bad-mouth your former employer!, you can say the job is not as challenging as you thought it would be, say you want to work in a place where you'll grow in knowledge, intellectually and career wise.

Finally they'll ask you--do you have any questions for us? I'd advise you not to say no, ask intelligent questions like---if you get employed, will glo at some point allow you to further your studies?? or you can ask about a new propaganda of glo and how the company intends to retain and attract new customers. but if you aren't confident of asking a question, don't bother!

I hope this helps, all the best!

This might sound shocking, but its d truth. Don't go there 4 any offer if u want 2 build a career 4 urself. That place is a career killer. In case u dont know people are struggling 2 leave. if u doubt me, come back 2 dis forum n tell us your experience n confirm if it is wat u 'll expect of an organisation of dat magnitude. if its customer service, u'll end up in d call centre picking calls from deluded customers, if na sales, ahh, just buy ur "coffin". markerting, b ready 2 while away ur time gisting. i can go on.
However, if its ur 1st job, take n move on after 1yr if ur sanity is still intact. anything longer dat, u r diminishing. kapish?

Na wa for you o. What can I call this? encouragement or discouragement
