I am astoundingly nonplussed on how you used the words "Nigerian graduates" so loosely when you happen to be one.

I'm afraid you are a big disgrace to the universe.

monacobull:


1. Telling you i have a 2:2 is to serve as motivation for people with that class of grade. There is hope for them. Not sure how you are viewing it.
2. A company looking for only ready made graduates will never give a cleaner a chance. So i think our company ethic deserves some credit for that.
3. Are you sure you are fine? You seem to have so much bile to spill. Im genuinely concerned for angry people.

monacobull:


You should win an OSCAR for MR ASSUMER OF THE YEAR. LOL. Never seen anyone that assumes so much. Whew. Im done with you.

Kelklein:

yes I'm angry... that is exactly what I want you to notice


I'm angry at you and you likes who keep pissing at Nigerian graduates and telling them it's raining.

and for your information...I graduated top of my class and gainfully employed with the FG
but that doesn't mean I'd look down on those not so privileged like they wish it for themselves

we are all victims of a very bad system

+ all my post are always in red..get that!

atama27:
@O.P, I wasn't expecting you to respond to all the comments about your post because I believe your "Multinational Coy" will keep you busy, but since you did, Kindly Spell out the coy's name and leave us with shame Mr H.R. Manager.

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.

Funny enough there was NO such restriction. I myself had a 2:2 in school, and still got a job with them. So no excuses here.

nasiest:
No be the mumu graduates wey go for the stupid intenship program

dejianu:
hmmm well play... that is how you pple do say, coming in here to write jaguns... So You are an Inyerviewer and you use words like WTF... What is the name of the multinational company you work for, if not GNLD multinational...

train your cleaner and make him serve you more... smh

MadCow1:



This your story sounds fishy..

On what premise did he decide to give the office cleaner a chance?

Why stop at the cleaner, why not the drivers as well, security and co?


If its true, then this is one of those stranger than fiction type stories.. If its not, pfft!

toprealman:
So if the foreigner was not around, you guys would not have given the cleaner a chance? Typical Nigerian mentality!
You HR people should also try to think outside the box. I'm not surprised with how those graduates performed though, given how graduates reason here in nairaland.

monacobull:
Let me make a few things clear.

1. This is NOT gnld or whatever you call it company.
2. I will assume those of you asking for the company name simply want to try and apply, that's fine, but i do not entertain rudeness so i wont mention the name.
3. We have enough resources for proper advertisement including via linkedin but it wasn't used in this case. Everyone interviewed was based on just referrals. It just an internship role so why spend so much on linkedin.
4. 80% of comments i see make me quite saddened as to the mentality of today's youths.

Brunel:


Hello, you shouldn't be saddened because of comments from Nairalanders, most of those who rush to comment and talk down/bully others here are actually jobless and intricately unemployable.
So, don't let this weigh you down, truth is there are millions of Nigerian youths round the world who are excelling from the formal to the informal sector.
Take the good, ignore the bad, advance in your pursuit of happiness.
Cheers.
