Your multinational company deserves that though...you restrict applications to just the individuals with 2:1/ first class.

What do you expect?

I have been to so many interviews since i got back and yeah "my numerical skills is poor" but there is alot of potentials in certain individuals who just need the opportunity to showcase it.

Regardless, i am happy the 'cleaner' made it. And i bet you, he will excel greatly with this opportunity given to him.

Bless!!!

Let me start off by saying at this point i believe Nigerian graduates have a lot of work to do. Its taking a lot of effort for me to contain the level of disappointment im currently feeling towards our university leavers. I work in a multinational company and i have had the chance to partake in the interview process of some roles the company advertised. Most of the time im usually appalled at the errors and goofs i see on CV's. So let me get to the main story.

Six graduates came into the office this morning to interview for an internship position. Which was going to pay a basic salary and also some nice commissions. All the interviewees were very disappointing despite the very easy questions which was for a very simple role. In fact none of them showed enough quality to half consider them for the job.

After the last person left, I and my colleague had already given up and hoped to do a fresh advert for the role. But 1 other person that was present at the interview was a senior staff from our foreign headquarters. And he suddenly suggested that we give the office cleaner a chance. At first i thought he was saying it out of frustration but this guy was damn serious. Long story short, we called the cleaner in and he handled our questions well and even scaled through 80% of the objection statements we threw at him! Whats more is that this guy isn't exactly educated and he even stammers! WTF !!!! Agreed he might have had better answers because he knows some more about the company having worked with us for a while, but still on still!...to outshine 6 graduates!...ah.

Finally finally we have decided to take him on a trial role and give him the required training. Im still shocked beyond belief.

Naija graduates, please get your shit together.

Well like you said he had better answers becos he has worked for your company long enough. So what else do you expect? You that is "Mr know it all" will find yourself in some organisations and fields and see how dumb and daft you are when they ask you some questions. Why didn't you ask them questions relating to their fields of study? I am sure when you too were a graduate you didn't even know these questions you are asking them.
always quick to open those smelling mouth in criticism.

Kelklein:
@op, monacobull or whatever you call yourself


you and your interview team should hide your head in shame for your inability to properly explore and get the graduates with 'good' brains out there..(yes..your sh*tty GNLD company doesn't deserve the 'best' brains


so don't come here next time to insult all Nigerian graduates because of your stupidity and incompetence

Good luck to your cleaner cos that's who you deserve

Iranu..everybody dey talk..2.2 sef dey open im mouth vomit rub.bish

monacobull:


Do you find anywhere in the post where it says the kind of questions we asked? How did you conclude the questions were not in line with their field? You are a typical example of the type we get to interview and just wonder.

PubLlcEnemy:


Maybe you need to read ur post again. I wonder how you expect someone who has no experience to answer questions about a company better than a cleaner who has been working and observing activities of that company for years.

monacobull:


Well a word of advice. Any candidate should make a quick check on what a company is about. Interviewers don't expect you to be perfect but to at least have a basic knowledge of the company. Its as easy as going to the company website and checking the ABOUT US page. Simple. And for your information NO QUESTIONS were even asked based on product knowledge. You can keep making empty excuses or see reason. Your choice.

monacobull:


So i take it that you have something against 2:2 graduates then?

PubLlcEnemy:


Most times you sent interview or tests invites anonymously. And even when you post your company name unless they are multinationals there are usually very little information about them online. So stop trying to justify your ineptitude.

Kelklein:
the issue here is not what I have for anyone's grade


it's about people like you( a product of the same system o) who come online to say nigerian graduate this, Nigerian graduate that

what is wrong with you advising your company to see how they can pick some like 4 or 5 of the thousands that must have applied to ur sh*tty vacancy, then takw some tome to tailor them to your taste


but no they are looking for ready made graduates

sorry..the same way there are no ready-made jobs out there... there are no ready made graduates too

tell ur dumb boss that!

twoondei:
but the kind of evil people spew here amazes me.

you guys are the bomb. continue, pwc will employ you through nairaland
