Lol, ok. I won't employ a candidate I consider less worthy though over more eligible ones.

I find it disturbing that she was judged by her physical appearance. Nothing about her intellectual ability. Naija Sha. The employer was just intimidated

Lol, probably. We were not there, so having a full grasp of the situation is impossible.

I really don't think u kw the meaning of inferiority complex because if u do u wouldn't use dat term, wen u have an interview again, y don't u go shopping for new expensive cloths with blings and Louis Vuitton shoe and even borrow ur father's car and ask me who has inferiority complex, is it u or the manager, ?

U don't have any business, u can't even feed for ur self,or even a family for 1 week without squeezing ur face and u are saying someone who has a business running with u looking for a position to work with them has inferiority complex,most of u come online and post rubbish of wat u can't do offline (lion online, cat offline) ,,i pray god helps ur soul, ,day first talk say graduate too day proud with nothing to show and u are a classical example of 1

Oga if its not inferiority complex worrying you, how did you arrive at this

Some people don't know, ,,,u want a job of 50k or 100k and u drove a lexus jeep to d interview, for me I see it as trying to make a gest at the other applicants or even d manager

if not for poverty in NIgeria, what's flashy about Apple watches that High school kids wear in civilized countries?

Do you know how the high school kids pay for them?

That possibility exists mostly in Nollywood. A sensible rich girl knows her paraphernalia can cost her a job especially if she has a point to prove. You only go to a job with your chauffeur driven, hidden number Lexus when daddy has called his friend and his friend wants you to come see the place before you resume not when you are a corper searching for PPA.

LOL. This is silly. I have managed a couple of rich kids, and to be frank, they were the most dilligent, and dedicated Staff ever. Because they come from priviledged back-grounds, a number of them already put themselves under pressure to measure up to their parents achievements plus the exposure they have gotten from the home-front means you get more than just someone to do slightly administrative stuff / simple tasks for you - for instance, someone whose father regularly has meetings with investors, would know a thing or two about that, and they have unfiltered access to great mentors - their parents, and their network of friends. Oh, less I forget, even you the boss can tap into taking advantage of their parents network if you play your cards right.

The possible downside is that they cant be threatened cos their lives do not end on your job, but then again, why should you have to threaten people's livelihoods to get the results you need - shouldnt you rather resort to positive motivation and coaching?

With looking flashy as if u are d celebrant of the interview day, ,,,dude come on sometimes u just have to look office wise, ,,u could have also said wearing bra and pant to church doesn't mean u are a sinner

If not for the low self esteem of the manager, how is wearing an apple watch and having an iphone 'flashy'? Not rolex ooo.

ASPIREX:
Read all the shadesof opinion above and something struck me.

Many posters simply jumped to conclusins without cobsidering what specifics the Company management may have given the HR person to seek out for.

Decisions made by a recruiter are so decisive that the outcomes can make or undo a company.

A typical private company and its prevalent culture is built around the personality and character traits of the promoter(s).

The scenario painted above depicts a private company setting that thrives on action and targets. Please note that what they were seeking is a "Youth Corper" and not a manager. Whas the point in hiring someone you know will definitely be a misfit?

A business has profits as its primary motive . Only those who are perceived to be able todeliver on set goals should hired. Its a professional decision based on psychologial underpinings and not a moral barometer.

Nahh. I also do HR; there was no sense behind that decision. A number of respected Asset Management / PE firms in Nigeria are havens of the exact sort of candidate described, and trust me, they dont come more target-oriented than PE boys. IF you doubt me, spend an afternoon looking through the profiles of young people in top firms.

Wearing an apple watch and having an iPhone is blinging up - seriously? Has it also occurred to you that the reason she has a Lexus picking her up is cos she doesn't own a car, hence her parents volunterred their's? I can tell you for a fact, the recruiter has a complex; I work in the HR space too, and have seen quite a number of folks that think like that.

A food for thought.

You got lucky, definitely not from my area. All they want to do is eat, sleep, party and do drugs. It's not even a location matter. How many kids follow their parents to the boardroom?

I get your point though and it makes no sense to threaten. I give you a job and hand you milestones broken into SMART goals. You either deliver or go. No threats. My businesses are still too small to carry deadweight. No business should actually.

Typical foolish Nigerian mentality

Guy I weak but I come wise.
