Sorry Op, anything at this point can be for your interview so for me you ignore it.. Though in Human Capital management which i did in my OND we stated types of interview which we have meal interview. But if this is not meal interview you can eat but how will you know this is meal interview.. To me dont eat. After all how many hours will you spend there? Hunger no go kill you. When u get the job u can eat as much. |

If you eat the food offered they will say it's a test and use that to disqualify you. If you refuse to eat, they will still say it's a test to know how you can get a customer. You don't have to be right, Nigerian HR for the most part are looking for how to disqualify a candidate and not how to find the best candidate. 6 Likes |

Sorry to say this but she should have been more focused. She did not go there to eat food. It was an interview and not a lunch invitation. The corporate world can be harsh but that's the way it is. |

elantraceey:. You just judged yourself. Tell me what preparation is. I am not surprised if you are one of them that put graduate through written test and 3 oral interviews and the only time you see them smile at the applicant is when they want to tell you that your salary is #30,000 and you will work from Monday to Saturday. Go to good companies if they do all these nonsense. They give you time not those idiots that will send you interview message by 7pm for interview the next day by 8am at lekki when they see Iyana ipaja in your address. I have attended interview with 2 oil firms they serve breakfast and pay me. Ask anybody that have attended interview with Total and Saipem like 5 years back. HR people like you that graduate with 3rd class and was manipulated to be in position will be looking for first class and second class upper with 25years of age and 3yrs experience for a job of 30k. 11 Likes |

Sometimes all these methods of testing potential employees has flaws. Whats testing the candidate patience with food? What if she pretended not hungry and appeared focus and discipline but yet she is not the best fit for the job? 1 Like |

wristbangle: In all my interviews with the upstream oil and gas companies, buffet was always part of the bargain and i will assume it's part of the assessment only to the extent they want to know how cultured you are and not to test my focus on the job. It will be arbitrary and unreasonable to remain hungry when I have food and the time to eat it. I have, on my own, requested for coffee a number of times in the course of an interview and it has never been used against me. 4 Likes |

I read a lot of comments here and I laugh. The HR erred by keeping the applicant beyond the scheduled time. Even within the scheduled time it's the responsibility of the HR to ensure applicants are made comfortable during interviews refreshment inclusive. NB to all applicants If a recruiter keeps you beyond schedule time ask for refreshment it's your right. Don't attend an interview with a" beggarly " mind set. You are needed 5 Likes |

Andy2274: Yes bro, beyond the buffet i ate at Shell, NLNG, chevron and one other i can't remember now, they picked my bill for the flight as I had flown from Lagos. It is all these mushroom roadside companies that come up with all these sinister unilateral tests that are unknown to standard human capital best practise. A potential employee is not a beggar, he is bringing his services which will be paid for, so he also has rights ab initio 3 Likes |
Re: Is It Wrong For This Young Lady To Have Accepted Lunch Before Being Interviewed? by bakynes(m): 8:07am On Feb 01, 2018 |
Lemme make a few points here; First, she wasn't tested with the food besides she was offered lunch she didn't request for it. Second,She should have told the personel that asked her if she wanted lunch, that she wanted snacks. Why would a job seeker be eating oily food when she has an interview before her, that could make her too heavy or unfit for the interview. Finally, there is nothing bad accepting to eat if offered since they wasted her time for 3 hours, it's only normal to offer her lunch, I have been to quite a few interviews and they did offer us snacks not food, so she should have requested the personel buy her snacks instead of food. Since most HR personnel interviewers access your dressing based on the Job,she was simply Disqualified because of the stain not for accepting food. 3 Likes |

Yes na. Even if you miss the job, you can't miss the food also thereby achieving nothing after spending money on transport to the venue. 1 Like |

The only mistake she made was soiling her clothes. Some major recruitments are done over lunch/dinner. When you know your stuff and can prove it, all those things like wether you eat or not don't really matter. |
