A lot of women do this, another is when/a lady calls and you can't quite pick who's calling she immediately hang up as soon as you ask " who is this please" especially when she expects you to have her phone number.

Please buy 4 chilled bottles of Budweiser for yourself on my behalf! I'll pay anytime we meet Sense will not finish you.
The societal values and norms have gone down the drain. Any man trying to be nice to a lady now is usually imputed with ulterior motives. But please keep doing your best to be good.
You may accept the apologies of your colleague and continue helping her. You can tactfully and kindly explain to her that not all men are the same. That you are different. She must have learned her lesson anyway.

At the end if the day, it still boils down to manners. An applicant who is looking for a job should show restraint even when the other person messes up. An applicant needs the job more than the HR and should be more careful.

I once received a call from a HR years back. The phone rang
Me: Hello
HR: Hello, are my speaking with *******(my name)
I didn't want to say yes cos I don't know the person so I politely asked
Me: please may I know who is speaking?
HR: oh my bad, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I am ***** from ******
Me: Thanks. I am ******

We continued and at the end It was successful.
I think the girl should have been polite. HRs make mistakes quite alright but as someone who is looking for a job, I believe you should not allow the mistake of the HR to spoil your chance cos 2 wrongs don't make a right.

It is just who you are, not because your gf is more beautiful and endowed than her. Lol

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

Originalsly:


It is unacceptable for HR calling someone ... not as a private person... but officially... as a representative of the company.... to make a mistake with common phone courtesy. In companies with professional standards such an HR would face disciplinary action.... removed from the position.... or terminated.

ME ........ Hello
HR.... Am I speaking with Mr So N So?

Mistake?... really?
If he knows he made a mistake then he should overlook the response he received... regardless how crude. He either lacks common phone etiquette.... or is loaded with ego and is a spiteful person.

Queenmark:
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.

Which part of England are you? I am in England trained HR personnel CIPD qualified member since 2016.

If they call you no matter your manberism i must still introduce myself also you know one can be sued

HR = hello
Applicant = who is this
HR = i am.mr xyz from abc company
Applicant= who gave you this number
HR= Calling because you've been shortlisted to start work next week

It is so simple.

Hr must be calm if you are here you should know

Issues40:


Sadly the reverse is the case in Nigeria here.

tolugar:


She got it all wrong.

Because when an unfamiliar no calls, you say hello and wait for a response.

But she was aggressive in her response and that’s so bad.

pocohantas:


He doesn’t have such plans. This story is an old one, if you look at the too of the thread, you’ll see the link to a similar storyline.

Since all NL guys done turn to job-givers and na women be beneficiaries, make one call me. I want to resume on Tuesday.

That's the problem with the world. We talk too much. This present generation cannot tolerate the sound of silence

soundOsonic:

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.

Karlovych:
Why would you employ someone her blood is boiling? she should establish her own company with her boiling blood

JaneYave:
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.

Nauttyprof:


There is no calling a spade a spade. Stop finding faults when the lady in question is 100% at fault.

The first step in any phone conversation is to first confirm the recipient before you introduce yourself or divulge any information. It is wrong to first introduce yourself when you are not certain of the recipient. Not even in this age and time when people can do anything to falsify identity.

I have received several international calls where they first confirm my identity before they introduce themselves and then talk about the services they render.

tolugar:
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

Cutie09:


Have you heard of work culture? Society culture? Do you know average Nigerians answer or pick calls by being rude. (If they don't have the number in their contact)

What she did is what every average nigerians would do. I will go ahead and employ the one with bad phone manners because that's how average Nigerians answer phones. Also she knows she was rude to me i still give her the job that will make her be on best behaviour.

How about if your boss thats your superior said employ call miss xyz to resume next week and she was rude to you are you going to say cuz she was rude you won't recruit or employ her.

You seem like someone that like HR, one quality of HR personnel is to keep calm remember you hold all the cards to hiring and firing and best mood is when potential talents start saying sorry etc and you still offer them the job

Have a goid day sir.

To say that I am speechless @ bold will be an understatement.... You mean that since an average Nigerian answers call in a rude manner, It makes it Ok and acceptable because it like a culture?... It's like saying since we have a corrupt system of Government.. Corruption is almost like a brand Name in Nigeria, then it is acceptable and cool...

If she can be rude to you, what made you think that your customers will be exonerated from her rude behavior? What about the company's foreign clients? have you thought about how messed up that could be for a deal worth millions?...Anyways, you will hire her because it was not your establishment as long as you got paid, no big deal...Even if the organization looses important clients, NO skin pain...(In Managerial Finance, what you said you will do is referred to as Agency Problem) The likelihood that managers(in this case hiring manager) may place personal goals ahead of corporate goal
Anyways, Have a good holidays
