Nepotism, doesn't matter what you know or how you perform, they'd pick those who were recommended by someone in power. The interview process were all just formalities, for instance , a recall during my service year at a big school, the owner is hardly around,so the principal runs the show with the head teachers, one time the principal recruited few people from his clan , so did the vice principal and prominent teachers , these people already resumed , but the owner of the school during a meeting asked if they have done interviews and all,so they had to do some impromptu interviews during the week, once the owner of school left, they sent rejection mail to all that was interviewed and sent employment letters to their crownies, all signed by the school owner who had no idea who the candidate he interviewed were 12 Likes 2 Shares |

This is exactly what the DSS did to me in 2007, I was among the few lucky ones who scored 60 and above, 69 to be precise and only 15 of us qualified out of 2000 applicants. We proceeded to the interview stage in Lagos State (Ojoo Cantonment), they verified my credentials and asked me to mention the name of my coucil chairman and my senatorial district. After the interview, we were told to go and prepare for the physical training. Uptill now, we are still waiting 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Mode4: Why didn't they pick from among the six of you? I can think of two possible reasons. 1. The interview was a mere formality. If this is the case, then they already had people warm and ready to fill those positions, and so used you people for reference sake. Missionary schools are run by a board which would surely ask questions if no history of recruitment exists. So, the interview was conducted to serve as possible reference should the board wonder about recruitment history. 2. Internal candidates filled the positions This is a possibility since the school is a branch of a bigger organization. Perhaps, the school management changed its mind, and reshuffled its staff. For example, I started life in my present company as one of the personal chauffeurs. One of my bosses found out that I was really good with figures, and that I had a degree in mathematics and physics. Coincidentally, recruitment was ongoing at that time. I landed the post for which others had already interviewed. But even at that, I was interviewed nonetheless. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mode4:Teaching is a very unique profession that anyone cannot just jump into,you might have done well in the written test, but there are other qualities they might be looking for that you may not have, like, good and neat appearance, good use of the English language, spellings among others. These schools are looking for the best 3 Likes 1 Share |

Lol... I was in this same scenario March last year. It was close to the end of the term and the principal was like I can't resume now since the term has ended already and that I will resume with them and in the next term and all that is left is for the Proprietress to give him a go ahead. Salary has been discussed, school rules and regulations as to how not to sleep with the female students has been discussed. Gbam corona virus lock down took place, and fiam my position was occupied by another person without informing me. Wo, my brother, just move on with your life. 1 Like 1 Share |

Stop trying to justify yourself as the best candidate for the job that you didn't get. Instead use the time spent on such thought to develop yourself and keeping searching till you get a sustainable job. Focus on your success and learn from your losses. You should listen to Falz song "This is Nigeria" 2 Likes 1 Share |

As a HR that I'm also operated in a British school, either your friends you guys went for the Interview are not telling you the truth if they got the job or not. Two, top management may have decide to look at other credentials and found a more suitable person. Never the less, you maybe called back sometimes. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Uyi168:There shall be performance for those that believe. Till tomorrow, God is still favouring people. I worked about six places before leaving Nigeria. Out of the the six places, it was only one I got through a relative, others are without any connection. In fact, the last one I did, I got it without any former interview and without any connection whatsoever. And you know what,it was a multinational. 1 Like |
