It’s becoming apparent that job interviews in Nigeria these days have turned into a comical display. From Enugu State Teaching Job interview (English Language) where a young man was asked to chronicle the history of his traditional leaders to Lagos, where another man was asked to frog jump 50 times to test his agility, the spate of humors job interviews produce in the country is getting out of hand.

According to one Louisa Onah, a graduate of Enugu State University of Science and Technology, she went for a graduate intern job interview in Port-harcourt last week. There were about 50 people who came for the same mission but she managed to scale through the oral question phase. When about 20 of them were asked to wait outside for briefing, they thought their dreams have materialized.


Check out why this lady ABANDONED A RECENT JOB INTERVIEW in Portharcourt.

There were about 50 people who came for the same mission but she managed to scale through the oral question phase. When about 20 of them were asked to wait outside for briefing, they thought their dreams have materialized.

In her words, “We were still humming our excitements when one of the interviewers came out and called me inside. I followed this man with practiced gentility and curious silence. We walked down the office hall then swerved left into his office. He offered me a seat. At first, I refused but he smiled me into the seat. He began by asking me my position in the family. I was stunned by the question but I had to keep a straight face at the question. When I answered that he drew a heavy breath and let out the thunder bolt. He said that actually, their company is a young one and that they do not intend to take more than one person. And being a newly birthed company, they will place my salary at 15k a month.

As he mentioned 15k, I recalled how I bought 1.5k mb to fill their form online; how I contacted them with my airtime and how much I spent to transport myself from Nsukka to Portharcourt. I stood up and left the office with a grimace without a word.”

Please did this lady do the right thing? What would you have done if you were in her shoes? Let’s hear your say in the comment box.

This is sad. I think most human resource personnel in Nigeria are inhumane.

They make ceremonies out of little recruitment exercises.

However, she should have asked if other bonuses and allowances were in place for her.

Sometimes, some recruiters can be crazy with the way they narrow down their searches for a passionate candidate.

I think the human right commission should beam more searchlight in this direction too.

The girl is a confused ingrate.
She turned down a 15k job but she will ask boys without any job to send her airtime.

Cosmas Maduka told me something and it resonates to this day,

"Never despise your little beginnings" besides "There's always dignity in labour" that's why barrow pushers are the happiest people on earth.

Maybe that's just a facáde to test her patience

i think this is a new method used by companies to test the way their new staffs will be able to handle shock.

She should have collected the 15k and look for 5 sure odds on bet9ja to knack am. That's 75k monthly

.

She should have asked them to refund her fare. What kind of rubbish 15k is that?

15K? E NO BETTER MAKE I GO DO SALES GIRL

What if it was just a frame up to test her reaction?



She lacks patience
Really, the job is not meant for her

15K= less than 30$
Self employment is the key word !!

Even barachel model college ( secondary school) dey pay 40,000 for junior teachers......

Rubbish white collar jobs in town....

She just failed a simple test!

Conditions of employment are usually spelt out to prospective employee to enable them make an informed decision before interview

She did the right thing.
As for me, I'm done applying any Job. Biz is the real deal!

It is not by force to have company na. If you can't pay your employees decently, abeg close shop. How do you even offer a graduate 15k? Na wa o

Very stupid method if you ask me #OnlyInNaija

Very sad sad. Which kin country be this sef

hmm

It's a credible decision o

Hers is better, my first job interview was appalling. They said interview starts at 10am however they started at 12noon and the worst was that they said some written examination will be done. This people kept delaying us till i angrily left at about 4pm, when i called someother participant he said they kept saying that their printer wasn't functioning properly for them to print the examination questions till 6pm. Who does that and I'm sure their pay might be really low for such behaviour
It was so annoying

She definitely did the right thing 15k a month for a graduate wow what a shame. And they might even give her a huge target to meet which failing to do so might reduce her salary.

She just fell for the employer's trap good riddance

The lady should have accepted the offer as an intern and build working experience. Some companies do not even pay allowance to their graduate intern.

She did the right thing but it might be that they wanted to put her on test to see her reaction. Been an entrepreneur and having a skill is the best solution to graduate and non graduate to save yourself from all this shit

cruzita:
15K? E NO BETTER MAKE I GO DO SALES GIRL

Sales girl gan no go collect. That money small

Some one else got the job and they are probably thanking God now

Unimaginable!










Check my signature

probably they just used that to test her reaction

I think it was a test of attitude and character towards money, especially if u knw d company can offer more, in such cases accept ooo since they want to be unprofessional and dont resume
