Gate-crashing works so well. You just have to be informed and confident. Yours sincerely got his present job through gate-crashing.

You can't gate crash test/interview in a well-structured company cus names of invitees are always documented and sent to the security post or reception.

I gate crashed p&g and gtbank tests. I passed both tests and progressed with the interviews though i finally got a beta offer and abandoned both.
It is always worth a shot.its a measure of how desperate u are and i was fervently desperate. Say i no hear be say i show. That was some yrs ago anyway.

A friend of my brother actually got his job at Schlumberger by gate crashing. Although he had to go through a tedious process of sending repeated emails trying to convince some senior recruiting or HR manager, am not sure which one again, but he eventually got the job. May I also add that he did really well in their recruitment exam & process.

If I walk into an organization on a normal day and tell them I wanna work for them though there is no ongoing recruitment or interview......is that also gate crashing?

Cool, but how did they find out about the gate crashers

Sometime dey find out the gatecrasher base on d list of d invited candidate dey already have, I gatecrashed one interview last week nd d HR got to find out I was a gatecrasher, so she ask me to show her d msg I received, as a coded guy I showed her d msg nd i was allowed to take part in d interview.
Gatecrashing an interview indeed worth it if u knw ur way.

I got my Ecobank job back in the days by gate crashing for the exam. I don't know if it is possible to gate crash for an interview though.

I never knew people do gate crash a job interview till I got on nairaland. Have read several stories of people gate crashing an interview here. For those who don't know what gate crashing an interview means, it means going for an interview you were not invited for, but you find out about the details, maybe from someone who was invited. So I would like to know if there is anybody that has ever gate crash an interview before, or have you gotten a job through an interview you gate crashed. Have never gate crashed an interview before and I don't blame anybody who has, because of the situation in this country, desperate times require desperate measures.


I gatecrashed enterprise and Unity bank those days. I got both offers. But didn't pick them, already had a better place. Gate crashing is a function of the question - is the company organised? Companies that still invite pple via text messsge for hand written test are gate crashable, but if it computer based attached with personalb passwords, don't bother.

my first job after nysc was via gatecrashing with a call centre.

a job seeker has got nothing to lose, hence try all means possible, the worse that can happen is waste of transport fare and the coordinator of the job test or interview walking you out of the premises.

all the best to all job seekers

I gate crashed for a job interview in Sept, last year. To my surprise, I got the job and resumed in January 2015. Amazingly, I was made the Manager of that branch in February. God favored me and I thank God for people who encouraged me to go for the interview I wasn't invited for

You have to wake from your slumber. I got a job with a well-structured company through gate crashing the company's aptitude test 3 years ago.
