Wt a job-interview is like!!!

I was idly surfing and I came across this page about "The 10 most common interview questions" and I decided to read it. Well lemme tell you dat I'm totally business oriented guy and I don't even have a clue what a job interview is like.

Here are the questions :

What Are Your Weaknesses?
Why Should We Hire You?
Why Do You Want to Work Here?
What Are Your Goals?
Why Did You Leave (Are You Leaving) Your Job?
When Were You Most Satisfied in Your Job?
What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't?
What Are Three Positive Things Your Last Boss Would Say About You?
What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't?
What Salary Are You Seeking?
If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be?

Wow! Based on these questions, you really have to prepare for them, huh? I doubt that some of the questions would really work in telling the company that you are the best candidate for the job. For instance, who would answer the question "What are your weaknesses?" with "Well, I'm a little bit too much lazy, and shouldn't leave money lying around carelessly if I get the job here.".

Questions like "Why Should We Hire You?", "Why Do You Want To Work Here?" and "What Can You Do for Us That Other Candidates Can't?" will most likely only show you who has best prepared for questions such as these. Maybe the level of preparation will indicate who wants the job most, but it isn't likely to tell you who is best for the position, at least not in my opinion.

I don't like the question "What Salary Are You Seeking?". I think that you can really screw yourself up here... If you ask for too low an amount, they might just take you up on it, and if you ask for too much, they might just pass over you. I much prefer when they tell me what they're offering, so that I can decide if I'm going to pass them over!

Oh, what do you think of "If You Were an Animal, Which One Would You Want to Be?"? Boy, if they asked me that, I would immediately answer "Man, of course!"

Wtever! I guess they've got to ask you something, after all, it'd be a bit disturbing if you entered, they looked you over and then flicked a coin to make the decision, nuh true?

Assasination Attempt against Bhutto..

A day after Pakistan Ex- PM Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan after a self imposed exile her convoy was attacked while driving through Karachi in a devastating car bombing that killed more than 130 people and more than 600 injured.

Pakistani government claims that Taliban/Al Qaeda were involved in the attacks should be discounted because there are so many different terrorist groups that could have carried out the attacks. Pakistani officials have been quick to implicate the Taliban and al Qaeda in assassination attempt against former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. But before anyone gives too much credence to such reports, remember: This is Pakistan. And Pakistan harbors many terrorist groups of its very own.

Yes, both the Taliban and al Qaeda are active in Pakistan, especially where the country drifts into anarchy on its border with Afghanistan. And they could well be involved in this attack.

The larger issue, however, is Pakistan's inability (or unwillingness) to take on terrorists -- militarily and otherwise -- within its borders. On that score, the attack could give President Pervez Musharraf the political cover he needs to finally do something about Pakistan's terrorist problem.

Will Musharraf use the opportunity of the attack to clean out the services and mount an all-out offensive against the warlords -- including the Afghan Taliban, al Qaeda, local clerics and other tribals -- who have turned the border region of Waziristan into the new command headquarters for global terror?

In the past, he was reluctant to make such offensives for fear that he would be seen as doing the bidding of the United States. But now, with the support of Bhutto and her People's Party, perhaps Musharraf will have the backbone and the stomach to pursue the mission.Lets c !!!

The Rain continues...

People, I really must apologize, I don't have anything worthy of discussion. I suppose the one thing that features in everyone's mind this week is this persistent RAIN dat continues like a "DURACELL" battery, it just keeps going and going and going.....
I guess that you can tell that I don't have much to discuss today. Sometimes life is like that, excitement one day and dull the next. So before I'm accused of boring anyone, let me leave you all to enjoy the rest of what is left of this rather wet Friday...Keep warm and take care.
