What Could Have Happened? by Sleek05(f): 2:20pm On Feb 02, 2015
Hi Nairalanders,

I need an answer to this mystery.

I attended an interview last week Tuesday after being recommended by a friend of mine. The company recruiting used an external HR person for the recruitment. After an interview with the HR Manager, she directed me to the client and the interview with the client was superb. It was more like a conversation and assured me that I got the job. Asked me when I could start and did a run down of what my major duties will be. He asked me to send my CV as soon as I could and he'll send my appointment letter before February 2nd, my resumption date. He even introduced me to his other colleagues as the new to-be-hired staff.

I called the HR Manager to inform her of the outcome as she requested me to and she told me to copy her when I send my CV to the client and that she will do the paper work and send. All these happened on Tuesday. Then my reference called me to say she called to give a positive feedback after the interview with me.

By Thursday, I hadn't gotten any letter and I called the client who told me to call the HR Manager. I didn't hear what she said well, All I heard was i'll get back to you. I had little doubts but when I remembered the guy's assurance and conversation, the doubts cleared.

I sent a reminder email this morning as I still had not received any letter, only for the HR Manager to inform me that they are still conducting interviews for other candidates.

I was dumbfounded!!! What could have happened? Nairalanders, HR Managers.... is this the new trend? I'm super confused!

i guess they just discovered either some of the information you provided where incorrect
or you are not just fit for the job

or probably they got a negative info about you

If u were the only one interviewed, a senior staff of d coy must hv disapprove of the idea of interviewing just one person for the post, may feel interviewing more pple will enable them pick the best. Hence, they may have decided to make it open to other aspirants. Just be prayerful that you still come out the best...

And be preparing too, you may still be called upon again for another interview.

Op have you considered if your village people are still not after you? grin


OK I was joking. Just like someone said above, it could be that a senior staff disapproves the idea of interviewing you alone. It could also be that some internal politics is going on in the company; maybe someone of equal or higher status than your referral also has a preferred candidate for that position and he or she is lobbying hard to get the job for his aspirant. Maybe
