33% of bosses know within the first 90 seconds of an interview whether they will hire someone.
* When meeting new people, 55% of the impact comes from the way the person dresses, acts and walks through the door.
* 65% of bosses indicate that clothes could be a deciding factor between two almost-identical candidates

An interviewer is not there to make new friends.

Some people don't know, ,,,u want a job of 50k or 100k and u drove a lexus jeep to d interview, for me I see it as trying to make a gest at the other applicants or even d manager, ,,its not only in nigeria it's every where in d world, ,,

If u decide to look flashy to an interview then I might look at u as a person who is well to do already and conclude u to b a spy to survey how I run my business

Just say you did not want to employ her. The excuse is too irrational.

You cannot judge a book by it cover.

That’s what I believe also. Sm comfortable people are still hungry to learn and work and Sm who are even struggling are lazy. It all comes down to attitude not the what u have or don’t have.

You employ your best prospect and not take a chance with your business to impress people.

Really!!! I've interview a lot of people and most of them go for jobs based on passion especially in my industry. You will be amazed to find out the corper would have been her best employee.

With looking flashy as if u are d celebrant of the interview day, ,,,dude come on sometimes u just have to look office wise, ,,u could have also said wearing bra and pant to church doesn't mean u are a sinner

What a foolish employer. I think this employer suffered poverty until she found a job. Jealousy crept into her and she wanted an opportunity to get back at the rich who probably dealt with her and her family in their difficult moments.

She needs to be informed that in Malaysia for example, ownership of your own personal car gives you an advantage when you are job hunting. Employers actually look out and ask you if you have your own car.

In the jealous and vengeful state she rejected a potentially good worker. She stupidly jugded the book by the cover. If the young lady was so rich and powerful why then did the lady need the job?

One day this wicked lady might lose the job that she has used to turn herself into a tin god. What will happen if she goes in search of another job and finds this same lady in the position of the employer?

/
I will not hire her.

NB: I am not a grass to grace story.

I think I'll follow suit with d employer, d lady in question is probably not d only applicant, there might be other applicants who needs d job badly and are so 'poor'. Do u expect d employer to employ someone who is 'stinkingly rich' and whose salary won't add any value her life and neglect those who have nothing let's be civil in our thinking abeg!!! If u wanna go for a job interview, dress moderately and not ostentatiously, ur a job seeker, not a multi-billionaire contractor

if not for poverty in NIgeria, what's flashy about Apple watches that High school kids wear in civilized countries?

Amicable22:
And you ended up judging her just by her appearance

Trust me this happens, I am a living witness.

After graduation I dropped my CV's randomly as I needed a job like fire. The first and second invite i got was from Spring Bank and Intercontinental Bank. I passed both writing test and other rigorous processes involved till I got to the final stage for both banks.

The senior manager that interviewed me at Spring Bank said I looked too refine to be a job seeker. That the name of the institutions (primary and secondary) sounded porch and all that the job is not for people like me, that I should ask my pops to hook me up with something.

At Intercontinental Bank, the Area Manager told me they would have love to have me if not that I appear satisfied. I overheard him telling other board members in a language I understand that I will be difficult to control given my background and exposure.

So you see the kind of country we find ourselves in.

Its ur organization, u can do what u want. However, that was completely irrational.

THIS IS,NIGERIA FOR,U

This post is an example of a person with inferiority complex.

He/she has already assumed that someone with a better car/phone/property is mocking him/she for no other reason than having that property.

That possibility exists mostly in Nollywood. A sensible rich girl knows her paraphernalia can cost her a job especially if she has a point to prove. You only go to a job with your chauffeur driven, hidden number Lexus when daddy has called his friend and his friend wants you to come see the place before you resume not when you are a corper searching for PPA.

Employers are devils in sheep's clothing.

When I was newly employed in the bank(no longer there though), in owerri. I noticed that once salaries were paid, employees made transfers,leaving only like #2k in their salary accounts. I didn't touch mine for some months o,as I didn't need it at the time. Before I knew it, head office from lagos did a mail to my then B.O.M, asking her to probe me and question how I was surviving without touching it. Of course I had nothing to hide.

ikbnice:
She lied. But honestly, her personality is nothing good, how can you be looking for a hungry soul who will be willing to be worked to death just for stipend. Heaven is not meant for her.

There's a possibility that's not the dad's car

Read all the shadesof opinion above and something struck me.

Many posters simply jumped to conclusins without cobsidering what specifics the Company management may have given the HR person to seek out for.

Decisions made by a recruiter are so decisive that the outcomes can make or undo a company.

A typical private company and its prevalent culture is built around the personality and character traits of the promoter(s).

The scenario painted above depicts a private company setting that thrives on action and targets. Please note that what they were seeking is a "Youth Corper" and not a manager. Whas the point in hiring someone you know will definitely be a misfit?

A business has profits as its primary motive . Only those who are perceived to be able todeliver on set goals should hired. Its a professional decision based on psychologial underpinings and not a moral barometer.

The employer thinks that poor equates humility. How wrong. In this country, it is usually the poorer the more arrogant. When you see a rich person being all arrogant, they usually started out dirt poor.

Those who say this interviewer's actions were right and would probably have done the same thing even in her shoes.
I wish you all would tell us the reason why.

How many times I go read this news for nairaland?

Could be that her sugar daddy or. Boyfriend is rich

Lol, ok. I won't employ a candidate I consider less worthy though over more eligible ones.

BOOMnaija:
This same attitude by d op spans across almost every sphere of life in Nigeria.

People don't ever wish u to have more or look better than them. There's this inbred jealousy that emanates from them if u do, and they transfer their aggression on u like u are d cause of their problems...it is applicable everywhere in Nigeria.

The worst part of it is that if u do not appear to care about them or how they feel towards u, they tag u as being proud and u automatically become an enemy as well.

Almost everyone is cursed and frustrated in Nigeria...take it from me.

Very true bro. The kind of envy Nigerians exude is shockingly ridiculous

It's just unfortunate that we have bigots like you as HR personnel in many organizations! People who can't make decisions without allowing their biases get hold of them.

Just imagine! You didn't even care what the lady has upstairs to bring on board. That girl's connection might even impart the organization positively. Oh! I forgot, many companies in Nigeria are slave drivers! So, they look out to employ people they can easily turn to slaves. Dummies whom they can easily control. It is for the same reason that some companies in Nigeria come up with obnoxious age requirements in their recruitments. They believe that they can readily enslave those below certain age bracket. They tend to forget that businesses thrive on rules and regulations that are fair enough to both the employer and the employee. Not on some kind of master-slave approach. This is another reason why many businesses fail in this country. Because people who can't reason properly are put in critical decision-making departments like HR.

Lol... Na wa o

Sounds like a jealous person

iyke926:
So the job woulda been hers, if she was dressed in a shabbily manner....probably using an itel phone. Then watching her trek, would have satisfied your wretched soul that she is the right one for the job.



All I see, is jealous boss looking for whom to frustrate in the name of employment.

D boss was intimidated. Ur points are spot on

Inferiority complex

I really don't think u kw the meaning of inferiority complex because if u do u wouldn't use dat term, wen u have an interview again, y don't u go shopping for new expensive cloths with blings and Louis Vuitton shoe and even borrow ur father's car and ask me who has inferiority complex, is it u or the manager, ?

U don't have any business, u can't even feed for ur self,or even a family for 1 week without squeezing ur face and u are saying someone who has a business running with u looking for a position to work with them has inferiority complex,most of u come online and post rubbish of wat u can't do offline (lion online, cat offline) ,,i pray god helps ur soul, ,day first talk say graduate too day proud with nothing to show and u are a classical example of 1

From the write up, isn't it obvious that the interviewer was simply jealous of the lady? It is not every organization that is as smart as you think! Some allow bigots occupy critical posts in their businesses and that robs off negatively on the business.
This is one reason why many businesses fail where others succeed.
