You are right. But in the light of the foregoing, the OP would be the last person to do all that. He could have just used "cos"

Pls guys let's mind the way we dress when going for interviews.

Went for an interview at grooming micro finance Bank Ojoo (Ibadan). After long waits we were told that two people have been disqualified for the interview already. Little did I know I was the asun "scapegoat".

I had felt a bit uneasy earlier and had released my neck button not knowing the boss there had noted that down" unsmart dress sense"! jeez!! And I had always been soo painstaking about stuff like that especially with tips and experiences from nairalanders...

It's a silly lesson to learn but I trust you've learnt it?

First impressions count...

One company I went for an interview at (this is back in the days- they don't do that now) Put drinks and snacks out and if you helped yourself, they would mark your register.

Companies use psychology to try and understand you because they don't have the power to get to know you.
Nigerian man mentality first impression counts that's why we are backward

Young graduates should learn to dress well. I've seen a guy wearing this slim and hanging trousers to an interview. He had the guts to use a tie!!!! He was looking like one irresponsible fellow. I mean this is a job that the starting salary is 150k !!!!! Invest in dressing simple.
that is what i wear they complain but still dont give a damn if they unsatified they should show me the exit door am a slim guy u dont expect me to wear big trousers plus what is bad there putting on a crop trouser to the office...
Re: How A Single Button Got Me Turned Down At An Interview Today by Nobody: 9:48pm On Apr 25, 2019
Why taking it to spiritual level??
Even some interview msg would state that u should be corporately/properly dressed. Its a simple sometin.
U can't dress like a tout (rough) in a corporate organization and expect dem to employ u. For real u r disqualified already.

I am none of the above.

And a man with his top botton untied and his tie is a mess...

I can bet you don't even bath before an interview. When something means something to me, I pull out all the stops (get my makeup down at mac, and buy an item).

Pulling out all the stops and dropping the ball don't mix. It can happen, and adults take their L, and are humble. IMO.

My guy , later in life you will thank God you didn't get the useless job . A place where they can disqualify you for not fully buttoning up to the neck is not a good place to work . Employers like that are users , they are the type that can hire and fire for no good reason .

Better jobs will come ur way by God's Grace , don't just relent you are nearly there.

My friendship...how old are you and what's your experience in the cooperate world.....instead of learning from what the op typed ....the only thing u were concerned about is getting likes.....

Go to any cooperate organization... All their staff are ambassadors talk less of a bank...


@op I will like to ask....did they tell you the reason for your disqualification?... So you won't be fighting a wrong battle sir...


Thanks

I keep telling people, work hard & be ur own boss.

Its better,... Even if its a business, if well handled, u'll even be richer than the MD of dat micro finance bank.

Go to Onitsha & Aba mk u see small small boys wey get up to 10 15 shops making hundreds of thousands daily.

Anyways, I am simply enjoying my Bossmanship. Never for a day have I gone out wit my CV to look for any job because i started my hustling way back in school before leaving school, how much them wan pay me na?? Can they pay me 300k monthly?? & Na so dem go stil use workload finish u.

When I see graduates earn 20k monthly, I weep. How do they even cope with that?? I see them as lazy if not, they should rather focus on business.

Well sha,..To God be d glory!! Better jobs awaits u bro. wink

What kind of job did you get that way young man?if you want a good job young man packaging is key........packaging involves good dress sense,smelling well,clean and well trimmed haircut.....
Let me enlighten you a bit...there's no region in Nigeria that the men packages better than the Hausa men...go to the north and see their well ironed baba Riga's....
Lastly...stop confusing people with the recipe of getting a job that can't afford gokada for a month......

With all these 'coxes' and 'das' etc, you don't even need your village people to be watching you. You have probably done their job or made it a lot easier..
