I think it's time employer adopt online method for interviewing job applicants. There are different video messaging platforms that can help in this era. Firstly,to reduce the spread of this pandemic, most meetings and even more important official events are now held online. I see no reason why these companies cannot adopt this method
And most importantly, the recent hike of Tfare in Lagos is crazy. Imagine spending 3-4k from mainland all the way to a coy on the island only for you to hear we'll get back to you.. The same thing I will say in physical is what I will also say online during the video call. Pls dear employers let's help ourselves

Take for example this my guy below.

I don't think they've replied him until now. He's just a fresh graduate, managing the money he saved from his alawee, imagine now spending everything on transportation. Let's fear God naaaa
Thank you sir may God save us in this country

Do people still do interviews at physical locations?

I was invited for an interview. I was not picked thereafter. Though, I think my performance was not that fine. Before the physical interview, I was interviewed via phone call.


I am based in Akure, though the address on my CV says Lagos. I spent about 15K including booking hotel room for just night.


Some weeks ago, I had another interview online. That was in May. I didn't hear anything from them, till now. I mailed them last week. I was told that I will be contacted for another physical interview in Lagos.

I don't know how to go about it when the invitation comes, but I will try. I am more than broke.


I agree with you that online interview is better.

I totally agree with you. Just concluded an interview process that required 3 physical interviews. Though I got the job and currently negotiating offer with them. I will never attend any physical interview again if it's not for the final stage. It was a really stressful experience for me.

This write up is timely. Someone looking for job should not be subjected to spending for what he is not sure of. Imagine! I had traveled from ph to Abuja, pH to Lagos severally, Lekki to ph for jobs I was never called though I was quite qualified. It's very painful. Online interview is highly recommended. One should only be invited when the chances of being employed is close to one.

In saner clime, Yes. But, Nigerian HRMs assume themselves to be demi-gods, and they misbehave a lot. They will even tell you to forget about it if you can't make it

Nigerian HRMs should learn to put back the "Human" in Human Resources.

There's no such thing as saner clime her, even in Canada or US, except it's a remote job, software engineers must be present physically for interviews as it's not only oral.

In Nigeria, your interviewer is not concerned about your brain.

They want to see other things like your booty, boobs, figure, height, lips, chest/pacs, muscles, your mannerisms etc to help them decide if they can sleep with you later or if you will compete with them in the office for the opposite sex.

I didn't want to comment initially, but all these points you stated here cannot be generalized for all employers!!

I have turndown two interview invite in Lagos because they refused arranging for an online interview. I can't imagine travelling from Akwa Ibom to Lagos for a job I'm not sure of.
Re: Why Employers Should Interview Applicants Online by pacespot(m): 4:51pm On Jul 09, 2021
Nice talk, white people will easily interview you on Skype or zoom, even a phone call interview is enough for some of them. The fact is Nigerian employers also look out for something else in their intending candidates asides the normal job qualifications, some of them might want to access you for a job based on your financial status, location and other personal things. We have a long way to go in this country.

Good companies will give transport allowances immediately after the interview which would be enough to cover your transport fare and feeding for the day. I have benefitted from such. However, some just don't have human feelings.

I don't even attend physical interviews. If a company in Japan will interview me online why should a company in Lagos stress me to come to their office when it's not as if they will pay my transport.

Stop giving that one attention. She's obviously craving it

Sorry to interject into the matter, perhaps she needs someone to talk to. She might have being severely hurt by someone, but am not justifying her actions anyway. But I can just imagine what could have brought her to such a low point in her life.

It doesn't make any sense to start typing men are useless all over every single thread she comments on. If it isn't attention seeking i don't know what that is.
