Lady Loses Job Opportunity Due To Her Response To HR's Phonecall by Wisemfon(m): 5:46pm On Apr 01, 2021 |
A lady I referred for a bank job in the first week of June got a call this morning to resume work at an Uyo branch of the said commercial bank. She was fortunate to be among the few applicants that were shortlisted from among a large pool of graduates who got interviewed for the jobs. No, but she won't be resuming! She finally lost the opportunity because of a phone call. She had received the call in the early hours of today, 10:00am precise. It was from the HR department of the bank. But she didn't say "hello". Her first remark when she picked was "who's this?" Before she got any other reply she added "how did you get my number?" The HR person goes "Am I speaking to Miss xxxxxxx?" She felt the question is unnecessary! And she gave her final response. "Please if you don't want to introduce yourself get out of my phone" that was her final word! I got a feedback from the HR by 12noon today and I listened to that conversation. Those kinds of phone calls are always recorded for reference purposes. Aunty lost the job because she lacks Phone Conversations Etiquette! I listened to the recorded version of that conversation. She lost the job because she believes every unknown male caller is a "chyker". You see? After all it's not always because HR people are "despicable" as they have been labeled by Nigerians! Why would a Homosapien answer a phone call like this in the year 2020AD? Watch out! Your next phone call might be your breakthrough! But your ill-manners could cost you the miracle 720 Likes 56 Shares |

The phone is still a very new and underestimated tool as far as the African man is concerned. Sometimes I just despair and the only option available is to switch off the phone. Random phone calls are what they are; random. Oblige the caller some civility until his/her true caller emerges....and even then try not to be rude as it is never over until it is over.

Phone etiquette is very needful. If only she listened more and answered the questions, the problem with us is that we voice out too many unreasonable things. 204 Likes 8 Shares |

JaneYave: You hit the nail on the head. We are going through a talking epidemic now where our egos are more prone to talking than listening. If you have the opportunity of listening into an interview session you will simply be bewildered. You need tons of patience to deal with the present generation. To think that some of them are so arrogant in their very apparent emptiness. 295 Likes 20 Shares |

Some Nigerians need to adopt the culture of being cultured while talking to strangers on phone. There are courteous ways of getting a wind of the person talking from the other end and assuming the call is an unwelcomed one, there are a thousand ways of ending the calls without hurting a fly. For instance instead of saying who's this, use "May I know who this is?" 142 Likes 6 Shares |

The HR person is at fault I am in HR and because of these kinds of reactions, I usually start my calls by introducing myself first so the other person knows who is calling and is at ease. He could have simply said "I am John D calling from bank. That wouldnt hurt. That said, the lady should have been cautious as a job seeker that was just interviewed and expecting phone calls. Lets call a spade a spade please. Wisemfon: 116 Likes 8 Shares |

firstworld: I beg to differ with you sir.... The HR is not at fault.... The fact that you started by introducing yourself does not mean it only work that way... It goes both ways.. If you call me for example and I don't know your number, What will it take me to say Hello richy4 speaking.. it's just like a default setting for me.... Then U will say hi to me by calling my name, then introduce yourself to me.... If due to certain reasons you forget to introduce yourself, thinking I know you and might recognize your voice... I will say may I know who is speaking please.... It's just common etiquette and manners.. she is mannerless. when u said she should have been cautious as a job seeker, were you indirectly implying that she should pretend to be nice while speaking to You as a HR then later unleash the stuff she was made of while working with customers?...No wonder mannerless people occupy customer service positions if U as someone working with HR couldn't see what the other HR saw.... I'm glad that the experienced HR dictated it early.. there were lot of mannerless people in the bank those days especially in First Bank.. Imagine adding this one to their statistics... though I don't know if they were still like that.. . 346 Likes 27 Shares |

Nigeria ladies are so shallow-minded. That was how I was innocently picking and dropping one lady in my department in the office with my car, the very day I bought my car and start driving it to work, we actually stay one estate apart and I thought it wise since she ain't mobile, let me be helping her, of which my fiance knew and was was cool with, fast forward to after 3 months of constant picking her in the morning and dropping her after work at her gate, Aunty approached me one day and was like Nick what do you really want from me because u can't be doing all of this and not wanting something in return? I was so pissed and disgusted by her foolish comment, ![]() ![]() 246 Likes 13 Shares |

Pls take NOTE Still on call etiquette When making an official call, The person making the call have to first start with introduction like.. Hello, this is Mr. Mathew calling from Zet bank , Am I speaking with Mrs Grace?.... Most HRs get this wrong. For security reasons, you don’t have to call someone and start asking their names and whereabouts. Let’s be civilized 95 Likes 4 Shares |

Wisemfon:that's one way to look at it though: with the advent of scammers and sim swappers, one can be so careful. As HR, if you call someone ehn,just introduce yourself before any other thing, e go sure pass. cus me self,some strange Foreign numbers just the call me these days from all over the world. I simply block it when they are done breathing on the other side 25 Likes 1 Share |

Well the HR person lacked phone etiquette from my own opinion. If you call someone the first thing to do is introduce yourself before going further into the conversation. HR personnels in Nigeria lack professional ethics they just feel they are important cause they interview people and you need a job. 50 Likes 5 Shares |
