The Interview Invitation I Honoured. Have You Seen It. by MichaelsHope(m): 11:39am On Nov 22, 2021

I am putting this up for the sake of those who will receive the same in the future. This particular interview is a one of the notable SCAM INTERVIEWS flying around.

So, I was invited to this interview. I saw the advert on Sunday.

When I got there my mind was telling me this would be another stuff. Names were written. Attendance was taken.

Individually, we were called to a waiting room based on our attendance. When I was called in this waiting room.

He collected my CV.

The interview goes thus.

Interviewer: Good Morning.

ME: Good Morning, Sir.

There he wrote my name in a plane along others.

Interviewer: You are welcome. Bring your CV.

ME: I gave it to him.

They were two in the room.

Interviewer: GENTLEMAN, were you invited through mail or what?

ME: Through mail.

Interviewer: There is a link on the message. It tells about what we do. Have you gone through it?

ME: No. What's your firm all about?

Interviewer: We XYZ company. We are into consultancy. We help people develop business mindset. To be free instead of looking for job.

ME: OK!

At that point I knew something was amiss.

Interviewer: We will train you so that you can train others.

Then he said I should go to the waiting room where others were sitting for the training. When I got back to the sit we weren't allowed to converse. I noted that people were moving out one-after-the-other.

I was asked to move to another seat when they noted I was conversing with a guy close to me.

I left few minutes thereafter.

E pain me small because of money spent from Ondo State to this particular interview.

Kindly learn from this. Share for others to take a congnissance of the address, tactics and devices..

Re: The Interview Invitation I Honoured. Have You Seen It. by Eriokanmi: 4:59pm On Nov 22, 2021

Pęlé but never be discouraged. I don attend such interview before only to find out that we're going to be visiting offices to sell ideas without pay or fare. It was commission based. They were an insurance broking firm at Yaba. Chivalry Marchants Ltd...I'm mentioning them cos I later learnt they were no more in existence. That was in 2003.

Another one which I saw inside the guardian newspaper...sorry in case mods feel am advertising their name. It was the only means through which we were getting job tips and adverts in those days. Applicants don't buy the newspaper anymore cos job adverts are now mainly being sought online.

In short, I didn't allow this to discourage me, I pressed on. I could post 20 applications in one week at the post office back then. Online postings weren't so popular, except a few . I reluctantly applied to a telecoms job whose HQ was at Ikoyi unknowingly. The name wasn't mentioned at all. At the end of the advert which filled up a whole page, they only stated ...The Advertiser.

It was on the day i honoured the invite for an aptitude test at a hall in Unilag,beside the ocean that I got to know them. The first test was so though and time given was so short. After the 2nd test which was so simple but with a cut off point of 75 out of 100 and to be attempted in 20 minutes. Luckily I scaled through. I scored 76. I passed the first one very narrowly. See the place like oshodi...crowd was much. Those who came from outside lagos but couldn't pass first test were asked to produce flight tickets, they refunded them and paid one night hotel accommodation so they could return the following day. Those who came by road too were refunded accordingly. When the 2nd test was over, they did the same for those who didn't make it. Around 5pm, one man by the name John ( one of their directors) came to address us. That was when we knew who they were. A few were also dropped at the oral interview, during which salary,job conditions, etc were discussed. I only told them I needed a place where I could grow and contribute my quota in return and so, they could pay me based on their salary structure which I believed they already had and I'd be fine. I was forced to mention an amount but I didn't. Eventually, I was paid more than the amount I had in mind. Naxo I get the job oo. On the first day of training, see brand new laptop and a car key tear rubber oo which they gave the 8 of us each. Na the dealer drivers carry them come. It was like a dream to me. Then I remembered an adage which says , if you suffered for 20 years, all would be forgotten over enjoyment of 20 minutes.

The moral of my epistle is, don't get discouraged OP. Your time and turn are near. Before that time, I had posted over 200 applications. God prevailed. On the day of resumption, I still met 3 strange faces who didn't participate in any of those though stages with us. Who am I to ask questions, dem be directors candidate.

I was so excited and that was the turning point in my career. I travelled taya for training.

I think it would have been a different case if you had done a thorough online verification of the firm.

Re: The Interview Invitation I Honoured. Have You Seen It. by IamNumeroUno: 5:03pm On Nov 22, 2021

It's really unfortunate that people go out of the way to perpetuate fraud, especially against poor job seekers.

They take advantage of the lack of jobs in the country and the difficult situations caused by this clueless government.

Buhari promised 25 million jobs, instead, more and more people are becoming jobless by the day. When you try to talk, his paid agents who are obviously underpaid and grossly incompetent and lack the foresight, will jump on your case and call you all sort of names.

If you have a means of leaving the country for the time being, please do. When all sensible people leave, maybe, they will feed on themselves and probably, we return to meet less idi.ots, then we can round them up and decide what fate is commensurate with their stupidly.

Buhari, Osinbajo and all those who have directly or otherwise contributed to these hardships will NEVER escape karma. One way or the other, they will pay.

Always, always search here for any interview before attending especially for unpopular unverifiable organisations.

My brother they've been doing this for years, i was a victim back then in Port harcourt, they told me that the company has agreed to employ me and they've taken upon themselves to pay 70% of my medicals then if i am ready to take the job i should pay the 30% immediately and start the work automatically, i told them i don't have Cash they brought out POS

I went for another they were singing praises of their boss, that he's mentor, young billionier, if you're not clapping as i am talking then you're not ready to be a billionaire, to cut the long story they will introuce something they will say the first 5 people to grab the opportunity will enjoy a discount...
