cheesy cheesy This is quite common nowadays. I have actually been a victim of this situation where 4 people (which includes me) made it to final stage in a firm. 3guys and a lady. She is well endowed as she was first called in by the HR guy of which the interview lasted for an hour. Our own no pass 5 mins and the next day we got a regret mail.

I called the babe, she said she was asked to resume with immediate effect cheesy

I hold the view that the majority of Nigeria's interviewers and HRs are not smart enough to interview anyone or spot intelligence. Their judgements are mostly based on emotions. I hope they are reading this. lol

I think so too. I once attended an interview, the interviewer was asking me stupid questions like: "Do you smoke?" "Do you drink?". They were 4 in number, it seemed like they were all catching their fun. That was unprofessional and what baffled me the most is that it's one of the leading banks in Nigeria.

Being a fine girl gives you an advantage, even at my working place, they have never rejected a fine girl who came for NYSC, they must find a way to squeeze her into the system. Na majorly wor wor girls and guys that are usually pushed out with silly excuses that they have met their absorption capacity. The next thing na to share this young innocent girls among the ogas at the top.

Since na federal agency, na to dey fork their toto they dangle federal job offer to their faces, who no want job for this tough economy of today grin

It's funny how it's always females who get picked over guys and not the other way around. Interviewed for an NGO a few months back and a female was picked over me because "she tried to even get close and she is female so gender balancing in the IT dept because they're all guys there now". I'd never been so furious in my life. I wanted to go to glassdoor and rip the organization to shreds but held myself. Heard yesterday that that position's salary has been upgraded to over #500k from #350k. Imagine how I feel!

If this is how gender equality is going to be implemented, then I am FULLY against it and will ensure that when I get to a position of power in the future, I will do my best to crush it. No where in the world should a less qualified candidate be picked over a more qualified one. NO WHERE and yes, that includes majority Caucasian countries where I might benefit from this "positive discrimination" aka "affirmative action".

I put in a lot of work to get to the level of skill and knowledge I have attained and to see it all for naught due to not being the right (or should I say wrong) gender is infuriating. We don't see guys being pushed into traditionally female-dominated fields like nursing but because some fields are higher paying, we won't rest with one sided gender equality.

Nice.
wristbangle:
I culled this story from an hiring manager in LinkedIn which would inspire most especially the unemployed.


A Candidate didn't do well in the interview. I still HIRED her.

Here's why.

Generally at the end of an interview, the interviewer will ask the interviewee if he or she has any questions.

She asked these 3 questions to HR Manager. It was pitiful to see her struggling to answer them.

1. What are the company's growth plan and strategy for the next 5 years?

2. Why should I work for your organization?

3. What are the weaknesses of your company and how do you see this position contributing to strengthening those weaknesses?

The HR Manager wasn't impressed but as the hiring manager I had the final say. I ended up hiring her and she did rock the boat but she helped the team and me as a leader to grow.

Interviewing numerous candidates over the years has taught me:

*Sometimes the best employees don't make good first impressions.
*Acing an interview and performing on a job are two different things.
*Strong employees intimidate weak managers.

Do you agree?

Thats what we get when well-endowed girls go for an interview,
The guys suffer.
Guys just pray for more christian - like persons to be HRs or more females to be HRs so that the guys can get better chances.

For the guys when you are employed, and your madam or superviosr (female) seems to be harsh.
Beep me for the way forward. Theres a trick to have dem at your palms. Think of it. harsh madam turned favorite (secret) buddy at work
