Story Of My Life...how Ignorance Destroyed My Interview!!! by sugarbuns(f): 9:02am On Jan 04, 2015 |
So I decide to write about one of the most embarrassing days of my life. It will be in series with questions I faced. It was my first time in Nairobi, Kenya, couldn't believe my luck an opportunity to be interviewed by top brand companies for a fellowship programme. Ok, let me start at the beginning. I applied for a fellowship that I wasn't even qualified for, no MBA, zero professional courses. In fact I had made no effort to improve myself in the 2 years after my NYSC. I concentrated solely on getting a job and earning money (typical Naija mentality). Luckily I got a mail to attend with an all expense paid trip ( return flight, hotel and a lovely, lovely buffet) to Nairobi. It was my first time there, I was excited. I bought my clothes, got my yellow card and renewed my passport. I googled assessment centre activities. I prepared for everything; maybe some interview questions here and there BUT with how it turned out I guess it wasn't good enough. My interviewers were 2 Germans and a nice Kenyan lady, I was a bit nervous but I did a good job of faking it (fake it till you make it lol). The first question was pretty easy then one of the deal breakers came: Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years. Me: In sales & marketing. I would like to cover product management and branding. Interviewer (with a smile on his face): Hmmm, but sales and marketing are 2 different things.

sugarbuns: I read the story here I didn't visit the blog. However hafbi not seen the entire write up here I most likely would have gone to the blog. I would have been disappointed. The start up and finale don't match. I expected some exposure on the foreign pattern if interviews as against our Nigerian pattern not just the sales and matketing . secondly you are a good writer keep it up. 1 Like |

armadeo: The assessment was quite different I intend to write about it as each question asked was new. Although I know better now, I'm well aware that not everybody knows the difference between S&M. Thanks for the compliment though. |
