bright8569:


I knew he was gonna respond and majorly ask for your feedback. When is your interview self. I will personally ask you the same question. Lol

Wickedinlaw:
Finally!!!!!

I almost shouted "ahhh" when I was asked to speak on my topic but thank God I was stronger than my village people. The topic was on impulse buying.

Then the other questions were majorly to access "leadership, teamwork and excellence".. Tho I was only asked 3 behavioural questions and they focused more on my CV.

Please go and marry your CV oo

I beg you, don't go and be forming UK accent there oo coz some questions will not only restore you back to factory settings but to your dialect if you are not careful

Finally, make sure you ask the right questions!!

BTW, my network went off and logged me out during the interview. You can imagine the situation I was. I don't want to talk about it coz I almost cried. Tho I later logged in again but I don't know if it would count against me.


I need to attend to my inlaws.

Guys anchoring bias is real, so you’d want to avoid it. If you’re yet to interview, please don’t let this unnecessary fixation on possible topics for section 1 make you nervous and unsettled.

It should be fairly obvious by now that anyone can be asked to discuss anything which implies that one is better-off focusing on interview discussion principles and techniques. Also, I believe that most of the topics you’re going to be asked to discuss are topics that on a normal day, you’d have tons of ideas about and can discuss for at least 5 minutes.

Here are a few tips for section 1 – that I think – that will enable you to come across as confident, strategic, and methodical.

1. Have a pen and paper with you so that you can write out the topic when it is being read out to you as well as relevant points about the topic that may immediately come to mind. Then request to read out to them what you just wrote and ask them to confirm if it’s correct. After this is when your time would start to count. The reason why (I think) this is crucial is that it enables you to buy some time to think about what to say.

2. Next, take a minute or two at the max to think about and write down relevant points. This leaves you with about 3 or 4 minutes to speak. The reason I consider this step a vital one is that it makes you come across as smart and strategic as opposed to someone that is quick to talk without thinking. Even if you’ve got a lot to say about a topic, it’s always good to take a couple of seconds to gather your thoughts.

3. Start with an introduction e.g., “here are 4 things that I think about this” or “what I think about this is three-fold” and take a minute to talk about each, if you fancy this approach.

4. Finally, just in case it happens that you’re presented with a topic that you’ve got zero ideas about, you could link that topic to a related one that you’re familiar with and discuss it. For e.g., say you were asked to discuss cybersecurity and you don’t really have any opinions about it, you could link it to cybercrime and discuss that instead. In this case, your intro would be sth like: “Unfortunately, I haven’t kept up with the developments on cybersecurity, but I do, however, think that it is tightly connected to the cybercrime that a handful of unemployed Nigerian youths are heavily involved with.” This makes you appear tactfully brilliant, I think.

Disclaimer: I no be expert o! Just sharing my thoughts with anyone that might find it helpful.

Goodluck.
