Welcomme: pp802, if I get u right, as at the time you applied, it was a driving position you applied for right? Now my questions is, what concerns a driver with solving maths and other gmats questions? Shebi driving is something that has to do with practical? Wetin join driving position with presentation again? Welcome sir. It was a sales position i applied for, but you have to know how to drive.......like have a driving experience and then the qualification required was a National Diploma. 1 Like |

pp802: I have a job though, but people always look for better opportunies and higher pay.
This brewery company is PLC. Its listed on the NSE. Its multinational.
I had submitted my CV a long time ago. Can't even remember when I submitted the CV. So I got an sms and a mail for a test.
Before now, I use to have different CV's for different job vacancies. The CV's are actually based on the job title. So I had forgotten the CV I sent, even when I saw the test invite and the job title.
I checked all my sent mails, but I couldn't find the mail I sent.
So I went to the test hall. Very tough questions I must say......especially the maths. After the test, we shared numbers. The test finished around 12 noon. I went back to work.
Around 5pm the same day, I got an sms again for an interview, the next day......obviously I passed the test. So I called one of the guys we shared numbers and he told me he was yet to get the sms. Early morning the next day, he called me and informed me that he eventually got the sms.
On the day of the interview, we were very few. A lot of the guys we shared numbers did not pass the test. During the interview, I noticed that some lasted for a very long time and about 1 or 2 were short. Even the guy I called, his own session also lasted for long.
Then I was called in. They already have the CV's. They just project on the wall and ask questions. They were 3 of them.
They asked me to introduce my self. When I started the introduction, they were kinda surprised and in the middle of my introduction, they stopped me and showed me the CV I submitted on the wall. It was one of my driving experience CV, with just an OND, and driving experiences only. No professional job experience. No Bsc, No masters.
I apologized and I told them that I have a more updated CV, where I have all the above mentioned. They asked me for the soft copy. low and behold, I was not with my updated CV. I told them I have it on my phone and I could go out and get it in a minute. They said there was no need and I should just continue.
I saw the countenance on their faces. It was as if they lost interest in the session. They didn't even ask me much question. Infact my session was actually the shortest. I knew that I had messed up. I failed woefully. I even lost interest myself, when I saw their reactions. One of the interviewer had to stand up during the session.
Today, the guy I called the day I got the sms, called me this evening when I was in the office, that he was called this afternoon and they are starting training on monday next week.
I felt so sad and downcasted. I was just not happy with myself, cos I was actually the cause. How on earth will I go for an interview without my CV? How on the earth did the mail disappear from my sent mail? How would I go for an interview without being fully prepared?
I messed up big time!
Learn from my mistake guys.
Its part of life though!
Cheers.
Hey, it could have happened to anyone even myself. You probably had a lot on your mind maybe about the possible questions you could be asked or the proper introduction, that you forgot about your updated CV. Cheer up. You'll get an even better job. Don't beat yourself up because of it. Learn from your mistakes and move on, my friend. |

I was talking to a brother who is based abroad about it and he blamed the hell out of me........that how can I go to an interview without an updated CV?! He even said the fact that I couldn't find the mail I sent is not an issue. That immediately I started the introduction I should have given them my CV. I should have more than 10. And as I was talking I should give each interviewer a copy. The whole matter just taya me again, like say na jazz! 2 Likes 1 Share |
