By: Shalini Sharma Why interviewers are still stuck to those irrelevant, stupid, not-taking-us anywhere questions, despite the fact that they themselves are fed up of asking them again and again. There are so many articles written about this and so many discussions have already happened on so many panels, but still, we jump back to Stone Age and start asking the same good-for-nothing questions, mechanically almost. This needs to end, high time. I am sure we all have heard these questions, if not all, few of them, once in our life, and we all knew that they make no sense. They don’t facilitate the process of selection or rejection, they just help in wasting time. Tell me something about yourself   Arrrgggggghh!!! This question has spread so much venom on its own, that candidates have literally started taking interview crash courses just to answer this one. It is such an irrelevant question that I salute the interviewer to have the audacity to still ask this and also th...

Islam is the largest religion in Turkey according to the state, with 99.8% of the population being automatically registered by the state as Muslim, for anyone whose parents are not of any other officially recognised religion, while other sources give a slightly lower estimate of 96.4%. Due to the nature of this method, the official number of Muslims include people with no religion; converted Christians/Judaists; people who are of a different religion than Islam, Christianity or Judaism; and anyone who is of a different religion than their parents, but has not applied for a change of their individual records. The state currently does not allow the individual records to be changed to anything other than Islam, Christianity or Judaism, and the latter two are only accepted with a document of recognition released by an officially recognised church or synagogue. Although the Turkish government states that more than 99% of the population is Muslim, academic research and p...

Snickers is debuting a trio of new flavors next year, including an Espresso Snickers that brings an interesting coffee twist to the candy bar. Each of the flavors will be infused into the nougat filling inside of each Snickers bar. To identify them, different adjectives will be placed on the wrappers of each new flavor, apparently to help you choose which one to eat based on your mood. Those feeling irritable should eat the espresso Snickers, because you're not you without your coffee-flavored candy. Folks feeling wimpy should go for the "Fiery" Snickers, infused with hot pepper, while indecisive snackers have a new salted caramel-infused Snickers bar to sample. Regardless of your mood, if you're interested in any of these flavors, they'll be coming to the United States en masse starting in June of 2018. Bar forms and miniature pouches of each flavor will be available at that time. The actual launch date is still a long way away, so hopefully, the candies...
