Scout Leader?
I was actually kicked out of the scouts as a 10 year old for fighting.
Scout Leader?
What did you say ? I'd have gone with something like we're very sorry to hear about young Freddie's accident, wishing him a speedy recovery, we have launched a full and indepth enquiry, keen to understand what lessons can be learnt, speculation wouldn't be helpful at present moment. Not a million miles from the project report I present to my boss every Friday . Oh heavens, today is Friday, better get on to it...Whole day 'interview' for a well know oil & Gas major. Most if it was exactly as you would expect, but there was one rather strange on the spot role play section. They explained - you are the CEO of a manufacturing company. A 3rd party 'bit' supplier supplied some dodgy materials leading to failure of your product and a high profile celeb type kid got hurt...and they are going public. You got 2 mins to prepare yourself for a response to the media that will be shown on BBC news at 10 tonight. Lights, camera.....and you are ON!!!
Talk about being on the farkin spot! I wouldn't mind but it was a technical job. Got the job too
I once had an interviewer ask me to sing a song, presumably to demonstrate my willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
However, i chose to express the same willingess by getting up and walking out.
Tell me about it! So many students on my electronic engineering degree course needed remedial maths and English classes that the university just imposed them on all of us ...Not really. I worked with someone with a PhD whose basic maths and English skills were completely lacking. Brainy guy - but borderline functionally innumerate and illiterate.
Neither was I when it happened to me!Yes - I was not impressed!
I'm quoting the two interviewers but given I have Engineering degrees, they better be pretty goodNot really. I worked with someone with a PhD whose basic maths and English skills were completely lacking. Brainy guy - but borderline functionally innumerate and illiterate.
