“If you could be any cereal which one & why” So my first response was “are you serious?!” very much so! So I replied, “I guess Cheerios cuz I like Cheerios and that question was so random I don’t have any other answer!”

Also was asked “would you ever file unemployment against us?” Answered with a smile & laughter Yes, i’m actually on it now. I got laid off my last job and I’m making full use of what the gov has available while I’m steady looking for a job!”

My current job, at a bank, I was asked most of the ques above and when they got to the “what ques do you have for us part” I grilled them!

What’s the atmosphere like here?
What are the employees like?
What’s the turnover like here? I’m looking for something permanent because job searching is stressful so do most employees stay or is there a high turnover?
I’m looking for part time employment and a lot of jobs start off part time and then start pressuring you to work full time, is this definitely going to be a permanent part time position?
I’m a very hardworking person and I’m worth the money I ask for, does this position have a pay cap or can i continue to have pay increases from year to year? etc etc.

I got the job & a year and a half later, I still love it!

It was the Stage 2 that was an issue… All candidates were given a short exam along basic procedures. We had a PC each and some paper… And a few questions to work on.

I was possibly the most resourceful. First questions were wasy enough but my math is a bit slow – So I used the PC’s built in Calculator on Windows.

Final part was to write a letter with Specific details given in a set order… Very simple task and the letter would only be about 5 lines long… Yet one chap I saw accross from me wrote a letter to THE WRONG PLACE (It was to a customer but he addressed it to the COUNCIL!), The WRONG PERSON ENTIRELY (The letter was suuposed to be sent to a Mr Smith fropm a Mr Barret – Wrong order!) and finally he wrote about completely the WRONG SUBJECT! The subject in question – A simple Housing Benefit Enquiry…

The Bloke accross from me wrote a 2 page letter about how the person was being Investigated for BENEFIT FRAUD??? Thats a completly different department!!!!

So… The results??? I never got the job – But the bloke who obviously couldn’t understand simple instructions has since been promoted and works at a local housing office!!!

Enough said! Now we know why the UK econemy is in such a freaking state!

“That the company should be aware of, no”

The Question was ” How do you get Ideas?”

What salary are you looking for?
The max!
