have too many ridiculous job interview experiences , not to mention one that I was asked and was forgotten there, not until the interviewer closed for the day...
Would like to talk about my experience with the job site called JOBERMAN..... I applied for so many jobs there, one day I got a call from joberman itself, about a sales rep job offer here in Onitsha, he told me the interview with the owner of the business will be in Lagos, that my transport will be taken care of, he just wanted to have one on one talk with me b4 I start working for him, sounded strange, but unemployment will cloud ur common sense.. I agreed, I spoke with a guy from jobber man, he said he will get back to me. Concerning the date and everything, I insisted I won't come alone, a friend in Lagos will accompany me for security reasons, which he agreed... After the call, I zoomed to jobberman site, I figured out it was not a fake call, the number that called, was same number on the site, fast foward to a week after, jobber man called again to say my interview will be in a 2 days time. I asked for the transport, I was told I will get it on d interview day, that's its not a problem, hmmmm ,doubts set in immediately, I was almost considering that, you know what unemployment can make one do, I asked for the address of the interview, jobberman asked me to check my mail . I did so, took the company name. Researched on it, via online and social media platforms, only for me to find out it was GLND marketing bla bla bla, I was disappointed in the so called jobberman site, for trying to lure me to Lagos... Only to go and listen to series of persuasion ... Thank Go for social media .. I got to find out many other victims travel long distances only to get disappointed

Let me share another funny experience. This happened shortly after Sanwo-olu of Lagos won the gubernatorial election.

I was at home relaxing around 4pm on a certain Tuesday. Then a call came in, it was my cousin who is into politics.


He called me and asked me to hurriedly go to Ikeja GRA and meet someone there for a job. Like a fool I did not even bother to ask the kind of job it would be. In my mind, I felt it must be a gevernment job since Sanwo-olu just won the election and my cousin, being One of his campaign members, I felt he must get a slot for me in the ministry. How wrong!

Without delay, I neatly packed my CV and first and second degree certificates into my bag and set for the journey.

I got to the place around 6:30pm. I saw crowd of people celebrating Sanwon-Olu's win. I put a call through to the man I was to see and he directed me to wait for at the reception.
At the reception, I met about 4 guys, neatly dressed. I later knew we were waiting for the same person.

The man addressed us around 7:30, telling us we should come back the follwing morning around 6:30am, that the chairman that would address us was still celebrating. Well, I did not mind to come back the following day I felt it would be a good job.


The following morning I had woken up so early that I left home around 5:30am to beat the traffic. I got to the venue exactly 6:00am. I was the first person to get there. I was so well dressed that some of the security guy there thought I came from the governor's office. They even gave me a chair to sit.


Later the man in charge of the recruitment walked in. Then I started seeing some area boys/thugs, some did not wear clothes, some were smoking weeds. I began to wonder why they were there. I could not come to the term that they came for the same job I was there for.

Later, a man brought out a full scalp sheet for us to write our name and phone no. Before I knew what was happening the whole place was full with area boys. They too was there writing their name. Some of them could not write their name properly 'cos there are not educated. After written mine, I waited patiently for us to be addressed about the job description.


Meanwhile, I had earlier called my younger brother to join me there 'cos I thought we would be employed based on our educational qualification. Not long, my brother walked in and became angry seeing the caliber of people around there. Immidialtelt he left, saying it could not be a good job.


I remained there, I just wanted to be sure it was actually not what I thought. I could not believe my own cousin would ask me to come work with such caliber of people.

Later, we were asked to gather to be address about the job description. My brother I could not strand amount those guys. Some of them were smelling, with skin rashes all over their body, I had to stay somewhere far and listen to the man speak. Right there we were told we would be removing campaign posters from the street of Lagos and would work alongside LASA. Meanwhile the pay for the job was not mentioned. The man said it is between Sanwo-olu and God.. lol. I look myself from head to toes, I just pity my life.

Later we were given two white polos and a cap. I felt so disappointed and had to come back home without follwing them to LASA office that very day. The polos and cap they gave me, I just gave it out to someone at home.

It was really a horrible experience for me. I wasted more than 2k for transport and exhausted my energy.
