One less idiotic banker to worry about. When you hear guys say most Nigerian girls are useless it sounds like an insult but it's the truth. They have this inbuilt foolishness. Whether educated or not they reason same way. That question of "how did you get my number" is just so annoying. They won't even ask politely. I was listening to a programme on radio sometime ago and the OAP called a girl to wish her happy birthday. The way she was talking was annoying so to avoid further embarrassment the guy had to open up that she was live on radio that someone asked him to call her to wish her happy birthday.....On realizing the damaged caused she changed like a chameleon immediately and started faking being nice. The OAP didn't even bother to waste his time by listening to her he just said " I am very sure your friend is listening, I have delivered his message. Do have a nice day" If na me be that babe boyfriend I for break up with her dat day, she just showed the whole world that she isn't a wife material.....She disgraced herself that day on radio because of pride/foolishness. 5 Likes |

Funny Even in England, when they call you for Job interviews Most times they will first confirm maybe they are talking to the right person before introducing themselves. V: Hello me: Hello V: Is that ..... Me: Yes, and who am I speaking to? V: Then they start mastermaestro: 2 Likes |

Thank God she didn't get the job, she would have been a torn In the flesh for potential customers. And if we investigate very well, she might be in her late twenties,even above 30 and still single. Aunty wey mumu..... |

Cutie09: Please, I want you to read this interview conversations between 2 job seekers and their HRs and answer the following questions Below ![]() <<<<FIRST JOBSSEEKER WITH HR HR: Good day! Am I Speaking with XYZ Job Seeker: Speaking HR: Hello XYZ, My name is EFG from Abc Bank how are you doing to day? Job seeker: I'm fine. HR: You recently had an interview with us 2 weeks ago...I just want to formally congratulate you because you were among the candidate that was successful bla bla bla... <<<<<SECOND JOBSEEK SCENE HR : Good day!! can I speak with XYZ? Job seeker: Who is this? What do you want? how did you even get my number? HR: Can I confirm if I'm speaking with XYZ Jobseeker: If you don't want to tell me who you are just get off my phone ****Cut the call*** Now I have to ask you and I want you to be honest with your answers <<<<In the first scenario interview, was all professional protocol followed by the HR? <<<< what did you make out of the two job seekers? <<<<< Assuming the second job seeker had manners, do you think it would have been effortless like the first? N.B: I want to let you know that professionally asking first if one can speak to XYZ before introduction is not a wrong move because a lot of job seekers have children, relative etc that might be in possession of the job seeker's phones at that moment...professionals in advanced countries know that..It's like an unwritten rules... You can research it if you like.. Besides, Introducing yourself one million times when you are speaking with the wrong individual could be tiring and exhausting. By the way, I was not doubting your membership of cipd... Being a member of CIPD stops no professional from knowing phone manners/ professional conversation ethics.. 8 Likes 1 Share |

firstworld: If you're truly an HR professional, then you may not know your onions unfortunately. Did you read the script? She picked the call and blurted 'who's this?' That is not the way to answer a call, especially from an unknown number. Though it might be fictional, a number of ladies are actually that rude in reality. Yes, ladies especially. Hopefully such people learn from the story. 2 Likes |

Originalsly: So, what exactly is your point? The crux of this matter is not the language used by the receiver, but the tone. Has it not occurred to you that the HR may have deliberately skipped the introduction part just to test how the receiver would react? Whether Buckingham palace or Burundi, it pays to be courteous. We were not taught formal English solely for Buckingham palace dealings. I am glad you know a thing about phone etiquette. |

100% correct! Especially our ladies! God! I can say this happens to almost 80% of ladies! Very few of them have a descent approach to numbers they are not familiar with. Even if you are going to end up rejecting the call, do it with class and culture. Many times, female clients do not store the given numbers of our service providers and as you are trying to identify yourself, you need to hear how they will be so brash--- as though you are some desperate toaster! Meanwhile, I HAVE HARDLY HAD ISSUES OF THIS ISSUE WITH MALES. Some that are even uneducated. |

Juliearth:You will do the same thing the said lady did lol, just read your comment again. Why must you query an unknown caller like that at first instance ![]() What stops you from saying hello, good morning or good afternoon or good evening ![]() The truth is, most Nigerian ladies of our time have developed foolish manners as a result of small boys chasing them around to fvck them. Even at my level in life, when I get a call, my first reply is hello, good morning or good afternoon or something. Even my aged mother, anytime I call her, her first response is hello, followed with a greeting, and then how are you my son....a wonderful woman. But most of you ladies of our time lack manners, all thanks to the jobless Yahoo Boys chasing and passing you ladies around and messing up your manners thereafter. Kiss the truth ![]() 2 Likes |

franchasng: I didn't bother to read through your analogy because I think your understanding is flawed. So you think I would just pick up a call and straight up ask "may I know who this is?" Don't you have an idea of how a phone conversation should progress...as in pleasantries before probing ![]() |

firstworld:God bless you! How some people think with all the stress we face with living in Nigeria, that we can accommodate drills of " sitting on the hot seat" like someone on "Who wants to be a Millionaire" show beats me. You call someone without introducing yourself, and possibly goes ahead to ask the person to confirm his identity or location in these times of criminal/unlawful tracking; hypnotic calls etc and think you're justified to continue some senseless drills because you bear good tidings? Not a lot of people would be patient to see the end of such conversations. Nonetheless, I am not sure I like it when asked "who's this?" as opposed to "may I know who's speaking?" |

firstworld: No, you are not completely right. The HR wanted to know if he was actually talking to the right person before introducing himself I guess. He asked if he was speaking to Ms so so so, she could have simply said yes and who am I speaking with please? That wouldn't hurt her at all. |

Richy4:No. It doesn't go both ways when calling strangers. That isn't your default setting. It is either you are a marketer, grew up with one or have been trained to answer stranger's call that way. Regular people don't introduce themselves to stranger's first. It is even a bad idea with the scale of insecurity and fraud going on in the country. She is mannerless because she wants to know who is speaking before responding. You know nothing about this lady, absolutely nothing but you assumed everything about her behavior. Who she is? what did she just finished doing? or if the HR with a god complex is the sixth tricky caller on that particular day. But she is mannerless because she demands to know her caller before confirming her identity. That HR with over-bloated ego Your "experienced" HR didn't detect anything but his bruised ego just like many people with authority in this country, he decided to "deal" with her as they normally do. If your model HR was a banker and was to secure a new account with a customer, the call will be very much different. He will certainly introduce himself first before confirming the identity of the call recipient. That HR needs retraining! I don't care who you are, if you call and can't introduce yourself and I give you a chance to correct yourself and you still refuse, we have nothing to talk about. 2 Likes |

Bro, I understand why you're pissed by her comment, but I don't think you should blame her much. Her behaviour was most likely influenced by experience. A lot of guys suddenly become nice to ladies they like to have a thing with without outrightly stating their intention. And when they finally do and get turned down, our dear nairaland people would blame the lady for being greedy by enjoying the goodies while pretending not to know the man's intent. Weird, I know, but this happens a lot. And I don't think this lady knew about your fiancee and had probably started developing feelings for you so she decided to know your mind, though maybe her presentation was f..u.cked up. In your shoes, I'd seat her down and explain to her that I have no ulterior motive and against what society says, some men can still be good to ladies for no other reason aside from being good people. She'd respect you a lot and appreciate your help a whole lot more after such a discussion. I have this issue with ladies myself, and just recently I had to help a lady understand this difference after I noticed she'd started to read meanings to the little assistances I offer her. She felt very embarrassed and kept apologising. We're cool now though. Nicklaus619: 2 Likes |

The problem with our Nigerian ladies is that, they are very full of themselves; they believe every male caller or visitor is a potential toaster. Most of them have thrown away potential suitors cos of their arrogant behaviour. Den go dey do shakara and dem no fine, k legs, bleached skin and smelling mouth and vajay everywhere. |
Re: Lady Loses Job Opportunity Due To Her Response To HR's Phonecall by capitalzero: 4:48am On Apr 03, 2021 |
firstworld: The lady was arrogant. Look at the conversation again! 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?" "Please if you don't want to introduce yourself get out of my phone" that was her final word! |

Wisemfon: Tales by the Moonlight.... Another work of FICTION by a misogynistic Nigerian man to impute how rude females are. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even assuming (for argument) the veracity of the story, she has the right to know who’s calling... And even if she was rude (which admittedly is NOT good), the HR caller is OBLIGATED to identify himself. PS: BTW, companies cannot LEGALLY record anyone with permission. > 3 Likes |

Cutie09: You clearly know nothing about HR. No HR personnel tells an unidentified applicant his mission. He/she would strive to know who is on the phone before stating his/her mission. When you take a call, you are supposed to at least, say hello, then the caller will introduce his/herself first, then ask if you are so so and so, before giving out his/her mission. This is done to ensure that no personal information is released to a wrong person |
Re: Lady Loses Job Opportunity Due To Her Response To HR's Phonecall by Validated: 5:00am On Apr 03, 2021 |
firstworld:Best response so. Nigerian HR's cannot, I repeat, cannot pass for telephone responders out of Nigeria. By the way, HR's are not HIRING MANAGERS, hence do not have capacity to disapprove of job offer signed by executive management. My conclusion, this is mere FICTION. 4 Likes |
