wristbangle:Oga, never go to engagements as an interview or physical assessment or examination on an empty stomach. |

bakynes: Yea .. i agree with the stain.. but you can eat without getting soiled. plus most likely it could be these companies that have lunch served to staff, and someone is offering you what they have, you say no go an buy me snack? |

naturefellow: You are right bro but what if she rejected the meal which would be against the organisation culture? They might see her as being proud or rude. 1 Like |

You have to be exceptionally good to be hired in this situation (the oil stain alone says a lot about your type of person). People do wait all day to be interviewed so you have to be prepared for the worst you can think of. I once went for an entry level interview and was delayed for a long time. At the end I was offered transport fare which I gladly accepted. Did I get the job, yes I did. 1 Like |

enigmang:See you don't eat too much when going for an interview, it can make your stomach uneasy, you could feel like using the toilet so best to avoid proper food before your interview. Besides I didn't say she should say "Go and buy me snacks" she can say "I wouldn't mind snacks please" just put it in a polite way. |

hardbody: I remember attending an interview where we were offered meal. A particular guy did not eat the meal and did not eventually get the job. It's not about you rejecting a meal offered to prove you are cultured. It might even go against the organisation etiquettes. 2 Likes |

elantraceey: Madam. Sorry, this is wrong, so wrong. What all these H. R do is just acting like a god. Would you prefer a neat employee who is lazy to a somewhat dirty employee who works hard and achieve exceptional results. Just because she had a stain, she wasn't offered the job, what of she had eaten without the stains? It doesn't make sense that she has to lose her job for that reason at all. That can't affect her performance 2 Likes |

wristbangle:I personally would have made no reservation about rejecting the offer even if I was famished, and ready to bear any consequence that comes along with no remorse or regrets. I went there job seeking, not looking for food please. I would be somewhere else, probably a buka/restaurant, if I left house just to eat. Focus and objectivity |

Forget all these DOs and DON'Ts. Wow them with confidence and competency. But I advice you politely reject the meal with "I ate just before getting here", 'cause if you don't, you have only broadened the scope of the interview to your own disadvantage. 1 Like |

elantraceey: It might be "just after three hours" to you... But I've come to observe that people aren't the same and hence may suffer from different forms of ailments or the other..... She could have been fasting... She could have been too tensed to eat prior to coming for the interview but got relaxed while waiting and the hunger resurfaced.... Or maybe she is an ulcer patient... We won't know cos she never stated her reasons... Therefore she shouldn't be judged based on the fact that she ate... Besides she was asked... Not that she demanded for the food. 4 Likes |

Her only offense is the oil stain, that's all. The chopping thing is very okay. The company obviously offered her the meal out of courtesy not a set up. Trust me if she's good they'll certainly employ her. 1 Like |

arrestdarrester: After waiting for nearly 3hrs and you rejected the meal offer by " I just ate before getting here" so if you breakfast, you no go eat lunch again? Please let's stop judging, eating or accepting to eat at interview is not an offense. If you're good you'll get hired. 1 Like |

All these makes meaning when you are starting out in the job space,at a point,all these wont matter or disturb you, I cant go for an interview now and someone will keep me for hours, I will simply tell them I have other things to do and gently work away, there are so many rubbish we take in this country in the name of looking for a job, you need to cross your mind,dont let it disturb you,if they call you fine, if they dont, is not gonna be the end 1 Like |

How would that sound for someone on the panel to suggest- she ate our food, therefore she is unfit. Wouldn't that person feel weird? Maybe the oil stain can be used as a bit of excuse but food?!! wristbangle: |
