Ano ba talaga? Kahit binabangungut ako, kaya kong sagutin ang mga interview na to! “Tell me about you…”; “What did you do…”; “Why did you leave your job?…”; “What kind of orgazmic level proportions attracted you to us?…”; “Can you do the job?…”; “Are you qualified for the job?…”; “Why did you resign again?…”; “What’s [...]
