Mine is a funny one. I responded to an ad for a Personal Assistant to an Expatiate. Only to find out the job description fits a driver position. I am a graduate and during the interview I made up my mind that this is not for me. The white guy seemed to be impressed even thought I tried hard to sound arrogant. I was taken to the car park and was told I will be taken for a road test. I thought to myself, this is my opportunity, I will drive recklessly so that he wont think of hiring me. I drove like a mad man and after the road test I left happy with myself. A week later I got a call telling me I am hired. (What......). The white guy told me he picked me because due to the recent issues of kidnapping and robbery, he needs a driver who is smart and can maneuver out of any dangerous situation. I ended up taking the job, the pay was good and I was being by a multinational oil company. I actually enjoyed it but after 6 month I quit. (I am a graduate for crying out loud) ![]() 21 Likes 4 Shares |

I attended some interview with sterling bank,during the interview we weren't told they were interviewing for a sales role. I got a mail from them two weeks later to come for my offer letter. I got the letter and it was a sales role with 40 customers in a month and 3 million naira target. I knew I wasn't going to take the offer cos even my first job offer after school was with a better pay. |

Nice and sometimes funny comments I read here... Well, I happen to have studied one of the much sort after professional courses in Nigeria cum the world... (ain't boasting but it is true). Finished my final exams...waited for about 5 months to be inducted into the profession... Went to Sokoto, just 3 days after induction, for interview, meant for a Mandatory 1 year training. Finished it and was shortlisted for NYSC about 2 weeks after. Finished NYSC and was invited for a job interview at Lag by a private firm(I guess I passed the interview, because I was always asked not to take another job, that the need to put finishing touches in one of their firms at Ibadan). Well, I stayed about a month and I wasn't comfortable staying that long, as it has never happened since I finished school. I applied for an opening in State Govt owned organization and I was invited for interview. After the interview, I was I formed that they are scared to hire me, as my profession is kinda "prostitution". I told them, they shouldn't be scared. On 26th Sept, I had a mail, for me to come and collect my appointment letter and start work on 2nd Oct... Well, my long throat was for the private firm, as I saw my growth in knowledge there. Besides, state govt and their pay wahala... I refused to go for the letter, while I called the private firm to inform them of the situation and my preference...This made the HRM to plead and assure me that I have the job and I should give them 3 weeks. Having waited and calling for me to come and collect the letter for 4 days...I decided to mail back and reject the offer from the govt organisation. The man called and reminded me that he once said that I will not stay...I politely responded that it was better I reject the offer than accept it and later leave in few days or weeks. (he wasn't too happy but he liked my sincerity). He is a good friend till date and one of my very few Professor friends. 30th Oct, I was called to come to Lag, collect my appointment letter and resume on 5th Nov...The funny thing is, as I was trying to familiarise and enjoy the work there, I had another offer 2 weeks after starting, from a Fed Govt Parastatal in PH and it was a better offer because of job security and closer home, not necessarily the pay. It wasn't easy, as I was battling how to get a soft landing, and not necessarily making this private firm feel bad. I searched for a replacement for them and had to form a lie on why I can no longer work for them... (don't ask what the lie was). Sorry for the long epistle ![]() 3 Likes |
