Hi nairalanders,
He was invited for an interview along side other ten candidates, after the fourth interview of which he met the GM on two occasions, he was finally selected as purchasing officer. On resumption, during his induction, he was to be inducted by the GM and he(GM) told him he was selected because he has engineering background meanwhile the guy read Business Administration. This GM repeats this statement on several occasions. There was an issue sometimes back he said "That was the reason why I told the HR that I need somebody with Engineering background" and he(GM) has been given him(the guy) engineering jobs to do which he has been avoiding.
The issue now is this, should he tell him he does not have any engineering idea or he should keep quiet since he(GM) received and checked his CV before the final selection.
Please, he needs your advice
He counts on this forum.
CHEER!

This is really a tough one.Guess he should talk to of his bosses he feels he can talk to (not the GM) and ask him what he thinks he can do.Moreover,he should pray.

He should go ahead and own up to his GM in regards to his situation although this will be frowned at however if he's willing to learn he can take up a part-time engineering course or training in that field to help him sustain and become better at his job.Also he should carefully consider his options of acquring another job should he be fired because it could be catastrophic if the whole company finds out he hasn't any experience in the engineering field.The good thing about his job is he is qualified to do what he already does so fortune might just smile on his face if he resolves this issue.

Whether he like it or not the boss will find out sooner or later.

It is better he owns up fast because if he doesn't someone will find out and that may be disastrous. Just as suggested earlier, state your willingness to learn more about Engineering. I think your honesty will be rewarded and you would have shown yourself to be a man of integrity. Pray for wisdom to do it right  |

It is very professional to let your boss know your background, despite his oversight. You might be in a dilemma but, thats what integrity entails. Goodluck  |

He has an immediate boss who happens to be a Yoruba man. the man has been working with the GM for more than a year now, he told the man but the man did not see anything wrong in it. The man was there at the final interview session with the GM and the factory manager (both of which are Indians), when this guy told him about the issue, he said he knew he(GM) made mistake when he was introducing the guy to them because they all read his CV. Meanwhile, the guy did not notice it.
Now that this forum has offered their invaluable piece of advice, the final conclusion will be posted to this forum.
thank you so much

hi,
this is to appreciate everbody that has in one way or the other advised my friend on this issue. He finally met with his GM and explained everythin to him. the Gm said that was not an issue in as much as he came to tell him before it was too late and he has been showing a lot of confidence on the job. He even advised him that whenever he is having any issue bordering him, he should not hesitate to bring it to his notice.
So, I thank everybody so much for their contributions.
Seun has really done a great job to all nigerian especially the job seekers. May almighty God reward you. YOU ARE REALLY GREAT.
Thanks so much
