Wisemfon: 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 The more i read this the more am beginning to think it is fake. Writeup. If HR manager want you to employ mr abc, even if mr abc messed up on the phone they are still going to employe him then train him on his phone manners. Another example is if personnel director said recruit Mr Abc, and you as the HR assistant or manager called Mr Abc but because mr Abc was rude on the phone to you you are not going to employ mr abc that your director said you should employ.

Feel free to insult. It's a freedom of speech and it won't affect anyone but yourself.
Well, go on YouTube and watch how HRs from other countries behave and test it against what happens in Nigeria.
Imagine going for an interview and they make you wait for hours even without an apology that is inhumane and unethical.
I share your view too. I had to go back to check the first two words shared by them. Possibly if the lady had responded hello, HR could have possibly responded with his or her identity. The lady didn't do well, but HR too didn't do it right. |

Nicklaus619: 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, but i did not answer her though, I just smile at her, dropped her at her gate as usual and drove home, immediately I got home, aunty has called me like 4 miss call, I eventually retuned her call and she started apologizing for speaking out of tone, I told her not to worry that everywhere good, but that was the last I drove her in my car, up till date she still apologizing, but I no longer give a fvck, most Nigeria ladies thinks every guy always want to toast them. well I shocked her, because my girlfriend is 100 times more endowed and beautiful than her, what could I be wanting from her biko ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) But you no go help your fellow man like this.

Richy4:
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.. . . its not about how you feel. You are representing an organization and the standard practice is if you call someone, you introduce yourself especially for professional calls. I have recieved calls from representatives of fortune 500 companies and even my doctor. It is the same format. They call and tell me who is speaking first 4 Likes |

I wonder how many times you guys will recycle this story. Today it is bank, tomorrow it would be an IOC.
While we implore people to learn phone etiquette, no HR would call you in that manner. Nigerian HRs are bad, but not this bad. Even the number they’ll use to call would tel you the caller is most likely official, not an individual.
No bank employs a GRADUATE over a phone call. Na cleaner? You wanna preach phone etiquette? Fine, but don’t overdo it. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Bros I'm a qualified HR personnel, HR do not speak like that on the phone. The first thing you do is introduce yourself as HR personnel because the person (talent) you're calling may not have your number
2) after introducing yourself and why you are calling you can even ask if the talent is free to talk now or he or she want you to rearrange the call also you must be apologetic you are sorry for calling without notice etc.
I have friends in naija that are HR assistant they behave professional that HR personnel was not professional that is why i strongly believe the story is fake.
