Absolutely

Hope you've called

I had a similar experience.

A week after the interview, i was called by the Hr and was told have been considered for the job and i ll be on 6 months probabation before i ll be fully staffed. All the terms and condition with the job description was read out to me which i accepted. I asked for a formal offer and he said i ll be contacted soon to come pick it up in the office but all i just need to do now is to first accept the offer through text which i did immediately, i got a reply the following morning with an okay response. A week after, i called to ask for an update and i was told they ll get back to me. Ever since then am yet to get any call or mail from them.

This happened last month (September) and it's a big firm here on the mainland not through any agent.

Have moved on though but am still hopeful

No

Is it okay to breathe?

I did an interview at the beginning of this week and I was called by the HR on Thursday that the company will be employing me, he asked if I would be available for resumption on Monday, and he was told yes.

He then said I would get a proper employment mail from them, which I have not gotten from Thursday till today, tomorow is Sunday and Monday is almost here.

Should I place a call back to the HR probably tomorow afternoon, if I don't hear from them or should I just keep expecting and move on if I end up not getting the mail?

I'm really skeptical on calling him because of our mentality in this country.
Please house, what's your suggestion on this?

Send a mail. Mail is better

From this and some other comments it appears Naija HR personnel generally lack professional ethics, and can just do anyhow and get away with it. Na wa oh. Naija factor everywhere.

Please don’t call or send an sms or mail.
Best thing to do is to keep praying for the employment letter to drop.
I’m speaking from experience, lost something like this because I called.
Wish you all the best.

Thank you

In this dire economy, companies are testing to see if candidates are still interested in the position they interviewed for? I dont think so.

Regex:


You should have called the HR. Most times it is to test if you are still interested in the job.


I applied to a care home, I was called to book a phone interview, which I did, and I was given a date and time, that reach, time weh I give them pass, so I had to call the HR that same day, and she told me she completely forgot she had an appointment with me. Long story short, I was interviewed there on the phone and I got the job.

So call them.

No mind how I switched from English to pidgin...

@Op, I can imagine the long wait laced with anxiety. Many years ago, I got a job with a very big NGO, infact, a higher position to what I applied for. The HR contact kept engaging and following up with me. I was even sent an offer letter via mail summarizing my entitlements and JD. To my surprise, I didn't hear from the guy again. When my follow up calls, I was asked to reapply for the position. I just smiled and moved on....for me, to save oneself from hypertension, Call

You can place a call to the HR because the stage at which you are now is not a negotiation stage is a date of resumption that is the issue now.
There is no wrong in that.

Thank you everyone, thank you Nairalanders. The offer letter was finally sent yesterday -Tuesday as promised by the HR, and I resumed work today -Wednesday, no politics was done. Faith in humanity restored.

Thank you all for your support

Oftentimes, it doesn't change anything in this country that we are, where our usual way of thinking is that you have to suffer and get stressed to get every positive thing. If it would bring any changes at all, it would be negative, you would be told you are desperate.
If a company seriously needs someone to fill a vacant space, they shouldn't forget that vacant chair, should they?

You were just lucky, that woman (HR) is one in a million among Nigerians

I don't know if I replied this. But here.

The woman is not Nigerian and this didn't happen in Nigeria. But do not limit yourself with the hypothesis around you.

Nice. Did you call them?

I did and I was asked to hold on that they're sorting some things, so I was sent the offer letter two days after
