    Everybody knows how to answer 鈥淭ell me about yourself鈥 already. As a recruiter, ask these questions at an interview instead and watch the madness unfold.

    鈥淲ould you eat garri without sugar?鈥

    Sometimes, you just need to gauge the level of suffer-head the person you鈥檙e employing has faced. They may be coming from traumatic sapa. You don鈥檛 want to do them anyhow.

    鈥淎re you a Man Utd fan?鈥

    You don’t want to employ someone who鈥檒l be taking Ls for your business every weekday. No, they already get enough on weekends. For the sake of your mental health and theirs, leave them alone, abeg.

    鈥淒o you usually lost?鈥

    You need to know you won鈥檛 have to randomly start looking for them in the middle of a busy workday. 

    鈥淒o you use MTN?鈥

    Do this especially if they鈥檒l be working remotely. You don鈥檛 want to joke with someone who鈥檚 frustrated after dealing with MTN the whole day.

    鈥淒o you have Japa plans?鈥

    If they don鈥檛 have Japa plans, don鈥檛 hire them. They obviously like pain, so they need to go somewhere else. Maybe work for the government?

    鈥淲ho鈥檚 your daddy?鈥

    If they don鈥檛 have Japa plans, it could also be that they have bastard money in their family. That鈥檚 why you need to ask this question as a follow-up. You never know, your employee may become a by-force investor.

    鈥淗ow many bottles of beer before you start sharing office secrets?鈥

    You need to know ahead of time if you鈥檙e hiring an opp or a weak link. Stay woke, please.

    鈥淎re you lactose intolerant?鈥

    This one has two parts. If they answer yes, just know they鈥檙e a stubborn person and won鈥檛 stop taking milk. Second, you鈥檒l need a face mask in the office every day for all the farting. Just save yourself from stress. 

    鈥淲ill anybody come and do paranran for you at the office?鈥

    This one is important if you don鈥檛 like noise. Just imagine having a bad day already, and trumpeters start singing 鈥渉appy birthday鈥 for somebody, unprovoked.

    鈥淒o you eat semo?鈥

    Make sure to promise that this question doesn鈥檛 matter to your hiring decision. But if they answer 鈥測es鈥, break that promise and move on. You can鈥檛 be hiring someone who likes pain (or maybe you can if you plan to offload five people鈥檚 JDs on them).

    鈥淒o you read Money by 91大神?鈥

    If they answer yes, just know they鈥檙e fun and they know what鈥檚 up. If you yourself don鈥檛 know what Money by 91大神 is, to it so you don鈥檛 expose yourself in an interview.
