Bros that ur guy wasn't desperate enough. Last year, a former client gave me an impromptu appointment. You know how these rich British white men in 9ja are, very impatient and strict. Well the day before there was no light. On that morning there was still no light and my gen refused to start. I left my house at 5am to my mom's office cos they always have light in that area. Unfortunately for me there was no light that morning. I went to ecobank, access and zenith to beg their security men for iron but they were all giving me tales by moonlight (why I'd NEVER EVER bank with them again). Then it started drizzling. Thank God it was all in the same vicinity so I went home. I was about to start typing my excuse text message down when I remembered a catholic church very close to my estate. So I took my shirt, iron and umbrella and went to beg them. They allowed me, God bless their hearts. So I ironed and got to my meeting just in time. Moral of the story, I've been getting big businesses from the guy since last year cos he has been introducing me to his clique since then. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do so as I said before, no excuses please.

My very good childhood friend Ayo just called me that he missed a job interview that was scheduled for 9a.m on Friday because he didn't have light to press his clothes. I told him he should have given it to laundrymen but he said he got the invite Thursday afternoon and that his area has not seen light for over 2 weeks!

Has this happened to you before? Please share the electricity situation in your area...PHCN a disgrace to Nigeria and yet we keep paying bills

I won't miss an interview because PHCN or BEDC failed to give me light to press my cloth. Haba! Whatever happened to charcoal iron or probably getting an old iron u can use with stove (that is if u know how to use it), just so u dont miss the interview. Guy, I know that suggestion may sound somehow to u, but listen, there are times u just have to improvise and stop missing opportunities like job interview.

Abi, u wan form? grin

I dont think that friend of yours really wanted to honor that interview invite. He is okay where ever he is. Let him not use NEPA as excuse..

No matter what, A failure will always be a failure. He received an appointment on THURSDAY AFTERNOON scheduled to hold FRIDAY MORNING. That is a whole lot time to get prepared. you already know there is no hope for NEPA or whatever in your area, what's up with stove irons? even if u have to buy the very cheap one or quickly borrow around the neighbourhood? what about packing the clothes to a friend's house who lives in a different place if u cant afford a dry cleaner. if na woman dey come visit you now, you go know how u go package yourself. Lazy mugu.

Are there not fashion designers everywhere who run on power generators ?

Companies need creative and smart set of people.

When I saw the topic, I was thinking that he got disqualified because his clothes were so noticeably rumpled to the extent that the interviewers spotted and even commented on it..
Tell that your friend that his reasons were lame and unacceptable.

How will anyone go to interview in un-ironed cloth?

Nobody cares about any excuse.

Many options

Go and borrow clothes.
If you don't have money, borrow money and get a laundry man do it for you. You can do wait and get.

That's the silliest reason anyone can miss job for.
Jarus baba , how things i have this question u can open a thread as per bros , the question is why are firms mostly employing OND holders but freeing HND or Bsc guys ? a guy used his nd to apply a job weeks later his boss was chatting with him and asked him that why hasn't he completed his studies because his boss noticed his exceptional qualities , he now opened up that he has a degree via DE to his amazement his boss said if he had given prior info. of his degree he wouldn't have gotten the job why is that so ?? person hustle finish degree them go begin wahala boys.Not fair.

Well, because the job is for OND holders. Jobs that require OND have little or no competition.

HND holders are competing with Bsc.

Yes it's very possible. Just don't place it directly on the stove,look for a thin layer of iron/zinc to avoid your iron melting or better still buy a fairly used iron and use it as your "stove iron".

Thank me later..


I want to come to ur house and thank u... Since u don't have pics for me to see who am thanking
