Your Invitation For The Final Stage Of The Interview Has Been Put On Hold by Richardlove(m): 3:47am On Jan 09, 2021
The headline of this write-up was the base-line of a text messge I got yesterday from an HR. A very strong thing happened to me yesterday and I felt like sharing it with fellow Nairalanders to see where I stand in this and if it were you what you'd do. So, I applied for this online job late November last year [2020] and few days after I was called for interview which I honoured. After the interview I was told they'll get back to me. I didn't hear from them till around 5:00 p.m. January 7th, 2021. It was a phone call, the HR reminded me of the interview and said I was successful but that I would have to come over for the final stage of the interview on the 8th. I showed my appreciation and said that I would honour the invitation.
After the phone call, I was happy and immediately started preparation for the invite. I did most of those activities outside my room while my phone was inside till around 7:00 p.m. When I was through, I started my freelancing job online using my PC and didn't use my phone throughout the night. When it was 5 a.m. on the 8th, I pressed my clothes, bath and was getting ready for the interview then I check my phone for time, I saw a message icon and opened it, it has the following message; Hello, Mr ****, this is **** from ****. Kindly note that your invitation for the final stage of the interview has been put on hold. Thank you. My gash. My mind ran 360 degree instantly, non-stop. I called the HR, the phone rang but didn't pick. I felt since the relationship was a former one, one phone call was okay and I texted but no reply too. The interval between the HR call to inform me of the interview and the time of the cancellation messge sent was an hour and a half. Now, is this HR or organisation fair at all? What should I do next and if it were you, what would you do? I should have hold it to myself alone but the harder I try to kick it behind the stronger the pain and frustration it brings. So, I felt I should share it with expert minds here on Nairaland. This is note a joke so I'll appreciate meaningfull concerns, suggestions, and if it has happened to you before or if it's normal. I didn't mention the name of the organisation and the HR for official reasons. Thanks.

My usage of cancellation does not mean what you're taking it for. But, at least the invite was stop yesterday. Or isn't it? So, that was what I meant.

Don't let your mind freak you over it. There are many reasons for putting a call for interview on hold but I will highlight one critical point .

It happens more in an organisation that is solely own and the CEO most times is always interested in knowing who is coming new into the company hence always available at the final stage of the interview to make personal observations and approval.

The truth of the matter is that the interview is not going to hold again the day initially scheduled for it and a later date will be arranged.

I use anything that you believe in to wave the notion that village people is on your matter grin.

As I'm commanded to do receive uncommon favour to get the job in Jesus name (Amen). Shalom !!!

Modify : The CEO might have other important engagement for the date stated earlier reason for the cancellation .

There's possibility that the top management official you're to see has a more important engagement. I am sure they'd get back

Hold doesn't mean cancellation. I have kept numerous interviews on hold for many reasons.

Calling and texting him was a bad call. I don't know how I'll handle that, but I hope he handles it well for your sake.

That alone could be the reason you might lose the job, it shows desperation and most employers hate desperate fellows.

A new lockdown is imminent and companies are brazing themselve for whatever could happen, nothing is certain for now... just hope for the best but expect the worse.
Pray and believe.

Don't give up yet!

On hold might mean the Top Management executive that should be there may have another important engagement for that same day. They will surely get back to you.








By the way, I still sell affordable laptops with free delivery and pay on delivery.

Details on my signature.

Most of advice given above are relevant to your case but I must be sincere with you that if uve had this experience before or something like this (disappointment)used to happen to you, you need to be serious about ur spiritual life. There's a wicked spirit that causes failure at the edge of breakthrough but there's a God in heaven that deliver it's victim. I have had this experience and God has delivered me but it was after my understanding became open because I used to talk like those novices before saying it is superstition. My regret is that the thing really wasted my time and I wish I can regain those opportunities I lost.

I bet you'll do worse if in the same boat. So, you're one of those unconsiderate employers? Your day is coming soon. Very soon.

It's not being inconsiderate. If you have worked in Human Resources, you'll understand that Human Behavior is the focus.

Desperate fellows are like loopholes in a company, cause they can be used by anyone, body or organisation provided money is involved.

Employment is not always come and work, we need employees who can't be bought, and someone who's broke and desperately in need of a job is a bad call for us.

Cause they can easily be swayed by money and greed as they climb the corporate ladder.

Which in almost all cases, bring the company down. Imagine when an employee share vital company information to a competitor for pennis.

In recruitment, we don't implore emotions. We don't care if you're suffering, dying, or depressed.

If you're depressed we do recommend some agencies that can help you. But overall, we don't employ if we find you unfit, no matter your conditions.

That's why it's a business and not a charity or poverty alleviation program.

I hope you understand better now.

HR Godwrites, from your write-up I see an HR that really needs a well pay job. Please get one. For your infomation, I'm not desperate but being official. I called only once and texted once. Even if I'm not an HR, I know this is not desperation.
