I once created a thread that made front page on my experience as Lead HR Person in a premier HR agency in Nigeria and many people called for my head, insulting our official procedures. But the truth is, HR practices sometimes require weird actions which a lot of people won't understand. There are reasons the Recruitment Team did that and believe me, once they explain that to you, you would see they are justified. One thing most Nigerians don't understand is that a real HR person is not just interested in hiring people because of their qualifications, they are looking for a total human being. Since we don't know you we try as much as possible to profile the candidates through the way they presented their CV, body language at the interview room and how you carry yourself and we try to match all these against the demands and current trends of the role you are being interviewed for. Again, Nigerians would always say it is not about certificates but they failed to realise that we don't know who those candidates are and we don't have access to their performance files but their CV is the only material evidence we have to guage their competency level. 3 Likes |

Ok lesson learnt next when am going for an interview I will carry Nokia touchlight, use style to put it in the table for the interviewer to see and maybe to top it off I will wear an old haggard suit with a little tear on the side. Since having expensive thing is a crime when going to interviews 1 Like |

Recruiters feel like Lords over jobseekers forgetting they were once job seekers. It's good to add some value to yourself but not for a job without job security. Adding more certifications and academic qualifications is very good though depletes the little resources and could be discouraging when the expected job doesn't seem forthcoming. 2 Likes |

The job seeker should be very grateful he didn't get the job. His employer would still have him fired if after a year or two, he decides to get a car using savings from his side hustles. Two phones estimated at N200k can only be Tecno and Infinix products because at that amount, you can't get a mid range iPhone or Samsung talk more of a flagship. The employer is a jealous person and a control freak. Two phones at 200k should not raise eyebrows in a progressive company where employee welfare and compensations are taken seriously. 6 Likes |

Nigerians and the way they reason. There are only a handful quality courses or "added value" that 200,000 Naira can get you. They may not be relevant to his field or life anyway. If someone, he or she, received gifts of phones from friends or family, are they to sell it because it's expensive? Nigeria will be better when people are judged based on the content of their character and intellect and not based on a skewed and mediocre reasoning. What was done to that individual was done out of jealousy. This is witchcraft! 2 Likes |

So histerically using a Xmax valued at 390k automatically makes one invaluable and ineligible?? Well I don't blame that interviewer. U should understand that even in this jet age many are still yet to make it to social media let alone Google. The other day one useless man sitting beside me said he has no use for a browsing phone, he's okay with a Nokia touch. I sacastically told him "it is understood". Fool never understood I meant that's y u still sell boxers n singlets 4 a living.. since that day I just keep his smelly self far from me coz I don't mingle with un-iformed fools 2 Likes |

TimeMachine: You're a self-acclaimed online billionaire yet reason like a poverty stricken person. Where was it stated that the monthly salary was N200k? Who told you new roles and vacancies are meant for unemployed people? Some are merely looking for a pay upgrade, career advancements, and more. Many job seekers have millions in the bank, monies saved up from previous jobs, side hustles, etc. Let's even assume the dude has no previous work experience, should a so called billionaire who has travelled far and wide share this kind of thoughts? What you've stated is very typical of a Nigerian employer. I bet you don't know an employee deserves more than salary from his employer. Your employer is supposed to train you (including oversea trainings FOC), give you and your family a health insurance cover, give you a car or at least settle your transportation allowance, grant you timely promotions and leave, plan your holiday trips with you, among others. This whole thing may sound very strange to you because Nigerians are generally made to see hardship and stress as an ideal way of life. 8 Likes |

I also lost a job for taking a flight to attend the interview. I took a day off so i had to get there and back fast with little stress. I dont blame them, cos i would not have taken the job. It was obvious the job was an entry level position which i wasnt aware before attending. The young expertriate focused the interview on my personality asking me about my current job, family and even how I travelled from Abj to Ph. He was kinda shocked to hear i flew and even emphasized, "you mean you flew (demonstrating flight with the hand)". There was one unorthodox thing he did, asked me to present my palms and he kinda read them. I asked what was that for and he said it was personal. I didnt like it but i already knew i will not going to be working there. On the op, having 2 smart phones is outrageous and will turn alot of people like me off. Infact, a person like me has no use for a tablet other than watching movies or reading. I once saw a guy using 2 iphone x's. I had pity on him for the stress. |

dangoteinlaw: What you wear to a job interview should in a way be directly proportional to the interview. You can't be looking for a job of 50k per month and be dressed so sophisticated with high class jewelries and stuff like dat. This is Nigeria. Sometimes you behave the way the society wants you to and achieve what u want, then you can be master of ur own and live the way u want. Bros, u are just guilty of what u are preaching against. You are angry with that interviewer for rejecting the candidate for using big phone which is the choice of that candidate. Now u condemned that your friend cos he told u that he is comfortable with his small Nokia phone. You distanced urslf from him and attributed his little business to his inability to like a phone that browses. If you are a job interviewer, you would have rejected that singlet seller based on the choice he made over phone even if he was well qualified. Don't You Think So? 1 Like |

There is really no need going for an interview to show off, If one phone is good enough while not keep the other in your pocket. Moreover he must have flaunted both gadgets in the face of the interviewer in a manner suggestive of someone lacking self-discipline, If he acted above board during the interview, he'll not be law abiding if given the offer. Knowing well that people are of different temperament should guide our comportment when going for an interview as one is least aware of the psychological make-up of the panel of interviewers. Attitude is everything in life, we shouldn't drop our attitude at home when going to work or undertaking a job search, minimum best standard should be maintain at all times, because show-off is always a piss-off! 1 Like |

Acidosis: Thanks for your silly response, but I must emphasize that it is not about the money, it is about the mind set of the team you are hiring, and getting priorities right. Any applicant who hasnt got his/her acts together will require further re-training on the basics of expense management. And few businesses have time for that. It bothers businesses if a staff lives above his means, cos almost always, it leads to pilfering. I must ignore your tantrum, it could be that you are bothered by something else and you are in search of an avenue to vent your frustration. I turn down applicants who mention words like "By the Grace of God", needless to emphasize how wrong it is for an applicant to walk into an office holding exorbitant gadgets yet has no certifications, but uses his resources the fund liability for self aggrandisement. I personally use 2 little Nokia and one android which I basically keep aside to sync corporate mails. When you start running a worthwhile enterprise, you will understand that it is about the state of mind of the team and not really the gadgets in question. Getting priorities right is an essential barometer to valuate the mind behind the machine. 1 Like |
