I just want to share this painful and bitter scenario to job seekers out there.

So we posted a job advert and over four hundred applied. Three were selected for interview and only one appeared.

Salary is about 150k for a start.

So this applicant came and did well in both oral and written interview but she was not given the job because of this:

She was given a paper to apply for the job. Excellent write up though but she messed up the whole paper with cancellation and instead of asking for a fresh paper to start over again; she even went ahead and handed over it like that to my boss.

My boss concluded that she was an untidy and scatty fellow.

And that was all.

Please take note of this and try not to make this mistake.

God grant you your desired jobs.

I really don't know what to say

I used to know a Dr back in school...he taught me programming languages all through my years...

This Dr will give you programming codes written classwork...

You know when you dealing with codes ..error is normal ... sometimes when you review what you have just writing...you go back and cancel some symbols and included the right one...in short if this Dr see any sign of canceling, Painting or deep text in ur paper ..My Man! Na 0% you score be that...

So everyone has a policy!

His company his decision

I'm pretty sure they will consider her elsewhere

You and your Dr. are very dumb. Where is it written in NUC that a student can not cancel in any examination. That you Dr. is one of those frustrated lecturers in our highly institution who think they are above the law

I did a recruitment interview for my company. In the end, one lady performed above others in both the written and oral interviews. I recommended her for the job. The lady had a low cut. The boss said that he is not comfortable with ladies that had low cuts. That I should look for another. I told him that the girl is good for that job from my assessment. That we should advise her to be putting on wigs. He asked if I knew the girl before, I said no. He asked if I have collected any form of bribe, I said no. He then accepted and the lady was employed.
Three weeks later, the boss told me that the lady is doing very well on the job and asked me to review her salary. Within 6 months, he bought a personal car for her and keep on praising her for doing the jod well.
The core objectives are what matters, job seekers are usually anxious at first, such thing could be overlooked and corrected immediately since she was good.

If you want to employ her pls do and stop disgracing your self

Nonsense
Re: How A Highly Intelligent Lady Lost A Job Opportunity. by princeSammyz: 2:06pm On Oct 22, 2021
Boss had some other motives... Maybe he has his preferred candidate as one of the other two that didn't turn up. Something other than ridiculous cancellations that he could have drawn her attention to.

Two things are involved:

The job isn't for her and your boss is trying to act like an almighty. Big shame on your boss.

Thank God I am not seeking for job right now!

The person in question can easily use her brain to earn higher than what an employer will pay her.

I may not be super rich but I thank God, I can afford my daily meals.

To Job seekers out there: don't wait for who will pay you after giving your best to boost his /her revenue/stream of income rather, channel your effort to where you will benefit 100%.
Please, how?

She might have been an asset to the company, that you wouldn't know. Sometimes you guys should stop looking at it from the angle that you are doing job seeker a favour. She might be the missing piece to target the company to the level level.

Job seekers know your worth don't let employers push you around.
This is why Nigeria has not really grown ahead,cos we pay much attention to irrelevance

Another person could see it as a good quality-her desire to make the most of the available resources. There are no perfect employees, even your boss can be disqualified with 1001 reasons including the way he laced his shoes.
Due to very high level of unemployment in the country, employers now look for the smallest of reasons to disqualify applicants. May God help every applicant in this country.

Well, that’s life. My lecturer back then in school will warn us not to use correction pen when writing exams, that he wants to see the mistake; but there was another lecturer who said that you must come to the exam hall with your own correction pen, because he doesn’t want to see any canceling on the booklet.
Exactly everybody make mistakes but it became obvious when is not done neatly .

Instead of you guys to take corrections you're here talking about your school days, school and job application is not the same, we should learn from where others failed from instead of blaming people involved
Blaming you said, even after typing we still discover a lot of mistakes despite being careful talk more of handwritten .
No body is above mistakes no matter how intelligent you may be especially when you are under pressure . It's only obvious when is untidy.

I'm sorry,you boss is a terrible person ! No candidate is 100% qualified to fill any vacant position. If your boss doesn't know that, it means he or she is just an over zealous and inexperienced perfectionist that will continue to lose talents and good hands to his or her competitors.

You really have kno idea who we all are here on this platform... We all hide under the shadowss of nairaland

I never mentioned examination! I said Classwork.... If you have a little bit knowledge on programming languages course then you will know it's a tactics to help young Developer master coding writing....

If the dude feels he doesn't wanna give the lady the job...guess what! Nobody will jail him...he owns his job and he make his decision even tho they are terrible once...

Your government piss you guys off daily and you can't do anything about it...
Why? Because they control the power!

Nawa ooo,

Go tell your boss he/she is a joke.

And you were quick to rush here and give advice..... For what exactly?

I will advice you and ur boss, take an internship with some of the new generation work environment in Nigeria.... Paystack, bolt, vendease, mono, klause, prospa, flutterwave etc. And you will learn what modern, employer/employee culture is all about.

Your boss probably missed a gold standard staff and I pray the lady find's a better company deserving of her standard.

PS: if you wouldn't mind and have the lady's contact, please share with me. I honestly would recommend her to my organization, people's team.

Please, how?

One needs to use his/her talent. I graduated over a decade ago, I discovered there is nothing in this country. So, I decided to look around my environment to observe what could be beneficial to the people around there. I discovered fish farming will be suitable then, I started. I later diversified into digital stuff base on my little computer and writing skills. I learnt how to make bar soap, liquid soap, paints and I became a tutor.

Now, cryptocurrency & estate agent have taken over.
