Job Interview

This article is probably what most of you out there are waiting for. So, wait no more! The "Interviewer's Top 10 Hits" Best Compilation record is out! Here, you'll find a list of the 10 most popular questions used by those faithful interviewers world wide. I do want to caution everyone though, that this is only to provide you with a overall guide to what they want to know, and it should not be treated as text book answers, because there are none. If everyone started answering the same questions with the same answers, there would be (a) very bored interviewers, and (b) absolutely no selection process. But let me not digress.

And the Top 10 are...

3 questions in life



1. Where do I come from? (Origin)
2. What am I doing here? (Purpose)
3. Where I am heading to? (Destination)

Human being is a creation which granted with "Free will".

We may choose what we want to believe (act of free will), however, controlling the consequence from our act is beyond of our control.

Generally, there are 2 views on the origin of life.

One its by "accidental" and one is by "creation".

Darwin's view, Big bang theory, or even William Provine theory, which is based on the existence of everything, is accidental. or is a merely a series of events happen and results is, everything we touch, or experience right now is purely accidental or random.

Recently, there is a question put on me, does the things around us, earth, start, life form on earth, is just merely coincident, or just "exists" after a explosion.

I would say, as one who pursues to understand or obtain new insights, usually we will face a unknown matters or incident, which couldn't be explained by the current advancement in research. However, instead of believing things happen just randomly, I would put all my bet that things do happen in a fundamental mechanism, in which, is still yet to be revealed to human beings.

Or even a small school of people, would adopt a probabilistic approach, which using a certain calibration factor, in the end would obtain a similar result. However, it didn’t explain the physical meanings, or why didn’t it happen? (Origins)

Yes, one may able to guess what I am referring about. There is a creator for everything, when we see a car, pen, desk, building, we do expect someone ideas, or a creation by somebody. To those free thinkers out there, it’s your choice to choose what you want to believes, however, you are to face the consequences of your choices.

When I am a teenager, serving in Church, always there is a question which asking by my non-believer friend. "Why do you believe there is a God (Creator) out there? Proof it!”
Instead of answering "I don’t know how to proof if, I just believe it".

Now I would answer, imagine you walking up a stairs, suddenly, you noticed a 9 cupcakes arranged in a perfectly "" shape. Then, what you would expect? You will expecting 'somebody' must have purposely arranged in such manners. Which return to our question , when we saw, or experience such beautiful scenery, majestic mountain, unsolved mystery, we would wonder, who created it, instead of believing it happen by accident/ explosion.

I should have answered him with such answer back when he asked. I should have. ^^
