no, neither would i do it in an academic piece of work as it would be marked as incorrect grammar.

but anywhere outside of work and education i do.

k:

what are Your greatest accomplishments?

- say what they are, but also give the impression that there is more left in You, and You havent reached Your best.

for example:

greatest so far is getting finishing a levels and getting into uni, but i think the real achievement will be when i finish uni and make a career

do You prefer to work independantly or as part of a team?

here You gotta mention Your ability to do both, with words to the effect of You gotta be able to work on Your own to bring anything to the team, and when asked, You will do either, with no preference.

they just want to make sure you can hold a conversation with confidence and fluency etc

they will try to make you think on yr toes so preparing for specific questions is pointless

bullshitting is fine as this is wat they are employing you to do,just do it convincingly and in a amiable fashion

they just want to weed out guys that will have nervous breakdown/tourettes etc

dont sweat and you will be fine

dnt bother with that kind of commission job unless there is a decent basic wage unless you cn rly be bothered to do it

if yr on jobseekers u got no obligation to accept that kind of self employed venture but you can do it for a couple days decide its not for you then do a rapid reclaim which puts you back to day one on yr jsa claim as opposed to six months deep getting suggested for courses etc

Most employers if you come with gwap talk without a hint of a job offer in the 1st interview then you're shittin on your own plate.

Apparently you shouldnt be the first to bring it up unless you've been told you have the job. Ive gone into jobs not knowing what the pay was just being happy to have a job
