    You do it aswell, you all do it.

    Nope, I'm in recruitment, not Hr. There's a big big difference. Ever since I was asked the atypical bs question asking for my three weaknesses I swore I'd never ask questions like that in an interview. You're literally encouraging people to lie to you in a job interview, it's pointless and counter productive.

    You'd ask the interviewer if it was an Indian or an African elephant. Show your calm analytical approach to an unexpected problem.

    You'd also be showing your ignorance of pachyderms. There's no such breed as an Indian Elephant.

    My Granny calls me Giddypants, and my friends call me Speedy because I can get hyper.

    Conscientious and determined, with a side order of diligent.
    What's the one thing you think you're family or friends would like change about you?

    My propensity to tunelessly sing along with songs on the car radio and make up the words when I don't know them.


    My tendency to give everything to what I'm doing, and remain focused to the exclusion of everything else even if it puts me under great personal stress. I just can't stop until I have a job done.

    It's just the way I am, I'm a giver.
