Keep quiet! Stop saying what you don't know.

What do you mean by "a hotel in a place like VI"?
Is hotel a beauty or fashion outfit?
What has looks got to do with hospitality and hoteling?

I've worked in Federal palace and Eko Hotel respectively; all in VI and I know so many short guys and ladies working as receptionist in these hotels without discrimination of any kind.

My ex works in Chevron Hotels at Chevron drive lekki and he's average (though he calls himself short man). One of their receptionist is a shorty too. So what are trying to say?

You're also wrong to say someone should consider their body shape and type before going for certain jobs. Mehn! Like what law says that or its you who's just coming up with warped opinions?

Abeg shift!

Have you been to intercontinental?

Like someone said, Twitter is now the dumping ground for twitter.
All gists from Twitter, someone will copy and create a thread here and then the Mods will move to the front page.

We need to do better really. This is becoming really boring.

Rubbish... If that is your opinion then that company is taking advantage of you all nothing like body shape when it comes to good company all they need is what u have in ur brain to offer them..



quote author=sherylbaky post=111110380]No offense, but she said "Hotel" (in a place like VI)
I know I may get some backlashes for this on Nairaland but the truth is some industries deal more with looks than any other thing, hospitality (I mean the top ones) is one of them. Even if you apply for some position in bank without an extreme enticing body/shape, you will not be selected.
It's a known fact everywhere not just in Nigeria, you should know your look/ body shape can get you disqualified for some jobs.

I remember someone saying "ooomo, una get fine fine girls for here o" when I was working for one company few years ago. The truth is beauty is one of the things they consider in that company when recruiting (not only for girls), because they believe they sell looks and naturally or not, you must be presentable at all times.
Most top hospitality need modelled structured individuals especially at the front office or someone with banging body as Yinkaolusesi16 says. It's the plain truth, it's not as if they are selling them, but they add value to the company. It's a form of indoor advert. You may understand better when you have your own business.

Sorry about that babe, but the best for you will soon come where you would be greatly valued just for who you are.[/quote]

Re: Rejected For A Job Because I Was Too Short. by Evakel: 4:38pm On Mar 17, 2022
Hight and beauty has become the main criteria for employment in some hotels and banks. that's why most staff lack professionalism and have poor attitude to work.
Op be grateful and move on. You'll get a good job.
There's one hotel in Abuja (Asokoro) that's the criteria they used for recruitment. In Front office and service areas. They specifically stated that they needed tall, light skinned ladies n guys with swag in these areas.Nose rings and ankle chains are allowed for staff in that hotel. why would they employe staff with swag instead of merit and right attitude to work if not that they want to be giving them out to their customers for prostitution/ customer satisfaction. Nonsense

Then they should have stated the criteria in their vacancy advert instead of making her feel miserable by telling her at the die minute.

Good idea.
I'm considering this too. The dimensions things have taken makes me wonder if I can survive on salary and what kind of parent I would be when I got a family to take care of.
I've got intention to learn one particular skill and I hope to build a career around it. Just tussling around trying to gather some money to pay for the registration.
I know it won't be easy but I'm determined to achieve beyond what my certificate can offer.

On God bro.

A lady @ogolomaoluchi took to Twitter to narrate how a fancy Hotel rejected her on the day of interview because she was too short for the Job.

Have you ever been rejected for a job because of your height or disabilities and what is your take on this rejection?

Below is her story

Picture of you being short or i don't believe it

You are the one sounding stupid, coming to correct someone with derogatory words.
You can make your points without being stupid and saucy.

Look, stay off my mentions. I'm not one of those brats you talk to anyhow on here. ok?
