"taking you" depends on how you answer the questions bv, you'd be surprised with the answers some people come up with. but the most annoying thing has got to be when they don't have an answer and they're uhming and ahing for hours...that just kills it.

Madd I would have preferred if it was an interview, adrenaline would get me through it lakin this application would have been sent hours ago if it wasn't for those questions. I generally don't have issues with using my 'artistic license' lakin it's not even a job, just something that I think would be good experience but noooooooooooooo they have to make me fill in a long application to work with them for FREE
Firefly No, those questions are interesting when you haven't answered them in a while lakin I am getting bored with writing the same scenari......you just gave me an idea! Ilahey kheyr hakusiyo
Navy I thought so too until a second ago!
Sakhajaan No it's not a job I am still living under the bridge.

BV i graduated from sakhajaan long time ago, but the bridge isnt a bad place for you to start. look at the positive side, you will have more time to think
plus, they ask these questions to everybody, just because your asked doesnt mean your picked.

Sagaashan ok from now on I will copy+paste your name to stop the temptation. Nah it's just the vibe I got from the lady, she said 'Just fill in the application and we'll let you know when the first meeting is' now tell me that is not an oral acceptance
Surrender The odd thing is I am so convinced in what I'm saying when I'm saying it that even I believe myself
Nalia It's the writing of the application, you know the ones where they tell you 'Please write a minimun of 200 words'
looool@
Madd That's no way to treat the third sector

BV you can call me Sag, it doesnt have to be fansy
anyways, congrats dee, i knew these people would take it as an honest inquiry, so hard was it landing your first job. to be honest i am irritated by this quesitons, but its standard and hearing so oftan really prepares you well. i just use the same examples and stories every time 'well you know. it was difficult decision to make..aah..just thinking about it makes me go back...' and i have never failed if you are wondering
