Hello members,
This is a long post and may include some errors. kindly ignore the blunders therein.

So, here it goes.

I was informed of a job offer at one of these LAPO MFB. As requested I went there to submit my application letter along with the credentials.

Getting there, I met with the branch manager. We exchanged greetings, he asked me to sit and thereafter we discussed about the job offer that the pay is #25000 and it is a three months program.

The necessity of hiring extra hands was because they have a target to meet within that stipulated time. During our interaction he went through my letter and eventually told me it wasn't within his capacity to employ that he would have to call me later today or certainly tomorrow after he must have met with the higher authority. that's how we rounded up our discussion and I left his office.

Few hours later, I received his call that I should come right away of which I was busy far away from the place coupled with that I had no transport fare to meet up.

Consequent to that, He asked me to come the following day by 8am. Noting this I went there though before going I had no office shoe as I long forgone anything like corporate work even though I was a teacher wayback.

As to this effect, I didn't want that to be an excuse for me not to go there so I dressed neatly though not tucked in because it wouldn't be proper to tuck in with slide footwear also I trekked to the place even though it's far but that's not a problem anyway.

When I got there at that time I had to wait because they were having morning meeting. After some minutes, He called me in, he asked me some questions about my name, address and others. He proceeded to tell me what he had said the day before. Thereafter, He said I would have to go their state office at Oshogbo to collect a letter indicating my employment . more like a traveling to the place costing me #1500. ordinarily that shouldn't be a problem but I didn't have that money to make the travel that's what I said.

He said the company would settle me on my return. As I was about to seek permission to go outside to make calls. One of them started talking scolding me that I shouldn't have said that I do not have money and my mode of dressing blah blah. I eventually went out to make the calls but I couldn't get any help because it was too sudden.

I went in to tell them, he returned my credentials. that was how I left.

Insults and blames are welcome but be objective please. thank you.

It is good you didn’t go to that Oshogbo.

Do you know the life of a sales person? It is hard enough in TIER 1 commercial banks that are known, now imagine selling LAPO.

You say you don’t have office shoes? Had it been you took the job, you would buy one Aba shoe, but when you are done trekking inside Oshogbo market, body go tell you.

All the market women go know you. Them go post you tire.

Nobody will tell you to run.

I see nothing wrong here

But to be honest.. you shouldn't have told him you had no transport fare, you kinda like indicated you were not serious about getting the job..

Telling him about you not having TP should be on an unofficial environment or a call to him later on, if he could assist you..

On your dressing.. it doesn't matter as long as you look clean and decent.. you no go steal cloth because of interview na

Thank you sir. and to think that I could have been informed earlier like a day before when he called me on phone. that would have ignited my preparation prior to that time.

Sorry, It was a letter or employment not form I meant to write sir.

No sir, you did not do any wrong.

They wanted you to go to osogbo to collect a form they could send through email? Or is there anything else attached to the osogbo you wanted to go?

Many red flags about this job bro.

God would provide a better job. Keep on keeping on.
