I failed the bungalow question during the widescope test, got to figure it out when I already got home, after that day I felt really embarrassed I travelled from edo state to lagos just to attempt doggy questions. It was after that interview I made a decision about my life I stopped searching for jobs I picked up an Msc form Decided to face my small business and watch it grow Sincerely I think these employers make a fool outta job seekers I really don't think questions and answer like this reveals the worth or input of an individual I can't stand before these embarrassment again the least thing close to it is when I start employing people or after my PhD. Nija is fu..cked 8 Likes |

meritdee: The problem is that you are assuming that "technical" questions have "answers" cast in stone, or that the same technical questions would be repeated over and over again with the same sure answers. If interview questions are supposed to test your intelligence, mental acuity/alertness, and creativity, then they can hardly have ready-made, mass-produced answers. Instead, it has everything to do with one's thought process(es) - in other words, spontaneity and quick wit. After all, any dumb fool can 'cram' a ready-made answer and spew it out in response to an anticipated ready-made question. That is hardly a sign of intelligence, or is it? At least not if I were the interviewer. No wonder too many unqualified buffoons get employed (and get admitted into universities) ahead of better qualified individuals in this country. 4 Likes |

I have tons of these brain wrackers in a compendium of Logic texts, although it is in soft copy. Any interested NLander can send an email and I will send a copy to them. Although I must confess I never read beyond the first few pages. Fortunately I am gainfully employed and so would not b needing those question and answer sessions. Before I forget, Accenture embarrassed me with one of those questions way back in time, I felt very stupid when I got home and realized I goofed. 8 Likes |

erniok: Tot bungalows do have basements and u need a staircase to reach it. There's always no time for such argument cus the only response u get is either u are called or not.

pro01: I get your point man. But this same questions has been repeated over and over... So being informed isn't a bad idea. I've never come across such but I have relatives and friends who have come across them. Some are knowing this for the first time and it wouldn't be a bad thing for them to know that one don't just jump and answer a question that looks simple. They might not repeat this, but the knowledge here would help few to understand how to approach this kind of questions. Thanks 6 Likes |
