Gatecrashing: Never knew a word like that existed...Until I joined Nairaland grin my first attempt at gatecrashing was funny, I was so jittery and afraid. Until I became good in it knowing I had to stop dulling to get a job in dis country cheesy
I think it was at my 3rd attempt it finally paid off: I got a teaching job after passing thru the normal assessments. It was one of my best paid jobs.
I even performed better dan the legitimate invitees in the test and interview.

It works if you know how to compose yourself and if you have the liver. But if you happen to meet those employers dat use bouncers to welcome candidates, ur name na OYO, especially if u travelled all the way from Agege to Lekki!
My opinion is dat it only works in small companies, don't try it with well established firms, you'd be turned back.

One Can't even try it in my company.....How you wan take enter gate sef? With the security procedures

Sorry,
We don't gatecrash in America.
You can get a job sitting on your computer & drinking a cup of coffee.
There are lots of jobs here wanting people to come apply & start work but Americans are very lazy.

After NYSC, I didn't bother applying for jobs. I kept a close eye on the thread that has the legend of the gatecrasher i.e Lero15 and funny enough we gatecrash about 4 tests together. I got my present job from the 4 tests.

please expatiate on this so i can follow suit

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.

Yes it is posible if you have faith, i am a living proof. I have gotten a job by gate crashing

I took a chance, that doesn't mean that how it should be done.
Okay now to the how, I figured out where I'd like to start my career and I found out that they schedule tests almost every week. And thanks to some good hearted NLers I found out the details and the fact that's gatecrashable so I took a chance. Needless to say it paid off. I gatecrashed a few other places for the adrenaline rush tongue

A guy gatecrashed test and interview my wife conducted for her company. A south african colleague declined to interview him but they eventually agreed to hear him after he gave out the name of the casual staff, a cleaner that linked him up. They were shocked to find out he was better than the chain of people that attended the interview. He got the job and they are happy to have him on board.

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.
Yes you can;I have gate crashed Nestlé recruitment with list of candidates names and serial Numbers.I had none but got the info from Nairaland.I wrote the exams with 3 friends all gate crashers!( guess who now have inside men anytime I want try again) . You just have to be brave--- keep an excuse in the back pocket just in case you are caught. grin[quote author=yeldey post=37167326]

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.

gate crashed at Schlumberger? I don't believe sir
