Dear Nairalanders,

I thank GOD for keeping us throughout last year and making us to see this new year 2015. I pray that all our heart desires shall be met this year. I am writing to let us know that, one can't ascertain his/her success after a job interview until the result is out.

I and other 29 applicants was opportuned to be selected for an interview after an aptitude test that was September last year 2014. I was the last person to be interviewed by the panels(two guys and one lady). The interview goes thus;
I entered the interview room, one of the panelists asked, may I have your CV? Why is your CV short? Why is your NYSC experience not included in your CV? He now advised me to always include NYSC in my CV. At this point my mind was that I have failed already. The guy now asked other panelists, do you have any question for him? The lady said yes.
She now asked me to talk about myself. Duties of a customer service officer? Why must we hire you? What values will you add to this Bank if we hire you?....

The last question was, Have you had any issues with your co-workers before and how did you resolve it?

One thing about me is that, I am not too fluent in oral communication but I can think very fast to say something whenever a weird and a tricky question is asked. I answered the last question but she re-asked again. So, as I was answering the question again, the guy(one of the panelists) that collected my CV was busy writing and immediately, he now asked me to stop talking. He now said "you can go thank you." With this remark, my negative thought increased i.e I failed woefully. I became very sad and wasn't myself again. I began to blame myself for not including my NYSC in my CV and for the answer I gave for the last question. After four days, I forgot everything and move on with life.

To my greatest surprise, after two weeks, I received a text at about 6pm for the final interview to meet with the Bank executives for the next day.......

I quickly suspended everything and rushed down to nearby cyber cafe and re-write my CV and added my NYSC experience. Guess what! When I reached the interview venue the next day, I met just four successful ones. After one week, we were three called for training, medical, documentation and offer letter.
Kindly share your own experience.

Best Regards,

It wasn't by your own making; you found grace in the eyes of your creator.
Most interviewee could very easily fail an interview for omitting the NYSC experience

Dear Scarplanet,

I thank you for your response. I thought likewise too that, it was by God's grace and favour that I got the job and not by my power. I can recall that, the panelist laughed when I gave an answer to this question i.e. "what values will you add to our bank if we hire you?" I thank God anyway.

Best Regard,

Dear Friends,

I thank you all for taking out time to read my write-ups. Also I am urging us not to criticize but to share our experience(s) if we have had similar one.

Best Regards,
