I know this been an age-long tradition for businesses worldwide but I thinl it's utterly unnecessary! what am whining about? The interviews conducted by most organizations.

it's true that every employer wants the very best hands to ensure the growth of his/her business but let's face facts, everybody knows it's all about the "cheese"! I really do not see the need 4 a formal interview where some poker-faced interviewer sits on a high horse and asks silly-ass questions like "where d'u see urself in 5yrs time?" - where else but where my pocket is fatter than a bloated elephant off course; or "what are ur career objectives?" - to be as wealthy as Mr. Gates & Roman Abrahamovich put together; but of course u can't answer those questions like this in a formal interview else ur ass is hauled back into the den of the unemployed mass; not like u ever was out of it anyway.
the truth; the real answers to some of our so called interview questions is so glaring - then why all the ceremony!?

my take on this is, quit all the pretense when the bare-bones are very obvious; if an applicant is good enough for the job (how d'u know if he is? u test him stupid!) and honest enough not to short-change u or bring ur biz to disrepute; then hand 'em the job , how long he/she stays with u, leave to God & hope 4 d best - but change is the only constant thing in life so u can't control that!

Ruddie i feel ur pain but in a country like ours who do u really blame?With the rising army of unemployed youths the few employers can afford to do whatever they like cos we have a govt dat bleeps us right in the arse.I no go surprise if to be a cleaner in a firm u might be asked to do GMAT!!

, unrealistic

Thats just the plain truth.I had a nasty experience once and to be frank,i just got over that episode.The situation needs a serious redressing by the government.What do you think guys.

I totally agree with you ruudie.

If a genuine employer wants to employ, they don't even need to conduct a test before they employ. I have witnessed a case where Bellview needed someone for a job and my friend happened to drop her c.v. that fateful day and she was called for immediate employment. They didn't need to test her only to train her.

Sometimes, these employers would meddle with our brains and advertise job placements meant for 10 people knowing fully well that 10,000 applicants would cash in. At the end of the day, they waste people's time and still employ the people they want to employ under the pretext that they are an-equal-opportunities-player.

Frankly, i consider the test thing to be bullshit. I mean, i did a test for DDB advertising agency, passed the test, got congratulated, passed 2 interviews and yet was not given a letter of employment cuz they had their candidates.
All that is plain hypocrisy.

u are right,ours is a country that promotes sentiments than what u can deleiver,God wd save us

oh my God Ruudie i couldnt have said it better. i mean whats with the f u c k i n g charade? i've only attended one interview so far as i just passed out from nysc but i was so pissed off by the 2 dudes who were like what? 2seconds older than me? look punks, i just passed your f u c k i n g test right, , see my cv? went to a great school, read a great course , made a great grade, you can see i'm f u c k i n g intelligent just by me saying my name so don't ask me stupid questions because you want to offer me a 50k paying job. it aint sitp you punk.what if i told u i wanted to work and make my name and go and work for your rival as soon as he offers me more money. what if i told you i wanted to get your job in 5 years when it took you 10 to get there? you cant handle the truth!! you want to make me go through 3 f u c k i n g stages  of interviews for a f u c k i n g job i'll probably leave as soon as shell or bankphb or nlng calls me? the guys could see i wasnt impressed by them and i guess i didnt make it because i never got called back. f u c k em!!!

truth is from interviews you can't tell who's going to leave you in the next 6 months or 2 years because its all about the benjamins or convenience. its not about being loyal to an organization because i responded to your half page ad !! duh!! you hot  but you aint that hot
