tolusan: Your case is serious. There are some judges that don't even accept 'Yes' not to talk of 'Yea' just like some of them dont like being called "sir" by lawyers in court. I found it hard to understand at first, but I later trained myself to use 'very well' anytime I want to say yes in court and now I'm used to it. So if the judge says "have you paid the penalty fees?", I'd say "very well, my lord, we have paid" instead of yes. |

ednut1:What you do not understand is this. They needed one person for the job they shortlisted 100 candidates, there is no formal criteria for screen. Use of slang during interview is offensive and anyone could loss it, don't forget there are other 99 on the list. ElUniqadoStores: |

Yeah is an informal word in English meaning yes, in a formal engagement such as job interview you should be very careful as your action , your words, your approach to answering questions, your presentation, your seriousness , your analytical mind and skill are what will sum up to get you the job. Knowing fully well that you are not the only one for the interview. Elimination process can take any form, so be mindful of your choice of word during interview. |

Adortem: When are going for any kind of interview you have to be very careful as the first impression formed about you could last till the end of the process and form an integral part of their decision making regarding your performance. Performance cut across everything you said and did during the interview. So you have to humble yourself when you are in an interview of any sort. 1 Like |

Ambi25: O boy you no lie oh. When I attended SRD for shell, that was how I was trying to explain something and said 'or whatever'. If you see the way the HR woman's face changed as she shouted "PLEASE DON'T SAY WHATEVER HERE". I can swear that is when I lost my chance.. |
