Let me make a few things clear.

1. This is NOT gnld or whatever you call it company.
2. I will assume those of you asking for the company name simply want to try and apply, that's fine, but i do not entertain rudeness so i wont mention the name.
3. We have enough resources for proper advertisement including via linkedin but it wasn't used in this case. Everyone interviewed was based on just referrals. It just an internship role so why spend so much on linkedin.
4. 80% of comments i see make me quite saddened as to the mentality of today's youths.

Let me start off by saying at this point i believe Nigerian graduates have a lot of work to do. Its taking a lot of effort for me to contain the level of disappointment im currently feeling towards our university leavers. I work in a multinational company and i have had the chance to partake in the interview process of some roles the company advertised. Most of the time im usually appalled at the errors and goofs i see on CV's. So let me get to the main story.

Six graduates came into the office this morning to interview for an internship position. Which was going to pay a basic salary and also some nice commissions. All the interviewees were very disappointing despite the very easy questions which was for a very simple role. In fact none of them showed enough quality to half consider them for the job.

After the last person left, I and my colleague had already given up and hoped to do a fresh advert for the role. But 1 other person that was present at the interview was a senior staff from our foreign headquarters. And he suddenly suggested that we give the office cleaner a chance. At first i thought he was saying it out of frustration but this guy was damn serious. Long story short, we called the cleaner in and he handled our questions well and even scaled through 80% of the objection statements we threw at him! Whats more is that this guy isn't exactly educated and he even stammers! WTF !!!! Agreed he might have had better answers because he knows some more about the company having worked with us for a while, but still on still!...to outshine 6 graduates!...ah.

Finally finally we have decided to take him on a trial role and give him the required training. Im still shocked beyond belief.

Naija graduates, please get your shit together.

Well like you said he had better answers becos he has worked for your company long enough. So what else do you expect? You that is "Mr know it all" will find yourself in some organisations and fields and see how dumb and daft you are when they ask you some questions. Why didn't you ask them questions relating to their fields of study? I am sure when you too were a graduate you didn't even know these questions you are asking them.
always quick to open those smelling mouth in criticism.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A "COCK AND BULL" STORY TO ME.

BESIDES YOUR WRITE UP ON THIS POST IS TERRIBLE, for instance you write "im" instead of I'm or I am; also

Its taking a lot of effort for me to contain INSTEAD OF It's taking a lot.... or It is taking a lot....

As the first person singular you are suppose to say "I" but more often you write "i" instead.

Therefore I conclude that if your story is true and you are a graduate too working in "whatever" multi-national you claim, then YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOURSELF TOO.

U c, everybody interviewed was based on referrals. Not that dey applied and got interviewed. Some of d people referred am sure re relations or friends of people working in d company. If ur company had posted d job online for so many people to get to c it, am sure ur company wld have had a hard time picking d best. Some Nigerians Graduate are very good. U people limited ur choice wid ur own hands. Deir is a possibility d interviewer had a discussion wid d cleaner before d interview commenced or that was just his lucky day. But my stand on dis is, their is no way an outsider would know more dan someone who has been working wid an organisation for a period. Ur company Dem selves reduced d chance of Dem getting d best out of d best. Next time wen ur company has a vacant post n put it on jobberman, hot Nigerian jobs etc den u come up wid Nigerian graduates talk, den am sure I and others wld belief u.

Most of them don't have time for educative activities, but their mind are always occupied with anything that involves sex

MadCow1:



This your story sounds fishy..

On what premise did he decide to give the office cleaner a chance?

Why stop at the cleaner, why not the drivers as well, security and co?


If its true, then this is one of those stranger than fiction type stories.. If its not, pfft!

I have seen a coy employ one of their cleaners and a driver become manager after his boss left the job and recommended him for his job.

monacobull:


Well as i said im not in HR but was simply there as the hired person would work under my division. I do have to admit on the naija mentality part. I learnt a lot today.
