If you have the time to wait, I advise you wait. But note down this red flag and other red flags you might notice during the interview process. These information will come handy when you want to decide whether you will work for them (if they offer you the job). Truth is that many HR teams in Nigeria are woeful and disorganised when it comes to time management. But the actual team you will be working with might be quite different. All the best. 2 Likes |

I was invited for in interview with spectranet about 2 month back, the interview was slated for 11 am and I got there by 9:30 only for me to seat in their reception till 6:30pm before I was interviewed and when the white idian who was conducting the interview called me in, he claimed he is not aware that I am around. The funny thing is that their staffs were stylishly mocking and laughing at me, some of them will say something like Oga interview are you still here? It has been two months since the interview and I am yet to hear from them even when they promised to get back to me. 1 Like |

abjonline: At least they have people to interview, I was invited by a school three years back for interview slated for 9.a.m. I got there 8.40 a.m waited till 2 p.m, no one attended to me, rather I asked to wait further. I was the only one. I was about leaving when the principal said "that was part of my interview (test of patience), I remain calm until he said they actually needed school father (boarding school). The rest na history. .... Test of pa......... God help I don suffer for this country! |

Everything for this country is some how. The way the whites reason and conduct things is Miles apart from the way we do our things. We believe so much in hard labour, suffering the other person before he gets what he wants and all that. 3 instances 1. My kids were having a video call with their cousins who now live in UK. Then my children asked, when is your exam, the response was: "We don't write exams,we only do assessments". This assessment is tailored to each child. Not the type we do here where a child is made to read a book from cover to cover , yet knows nothing. 2. My friend just obtained her MSC from a university in UK. She told me, she didn't write any semester exam or whatever. All they do is turn in different research assignments from time to time. And each assignment must meet up with a particular standard. Putting into cognizance, plagiarism, grammar check etc. Hence you must have premium account on most of this writing tools like grammarly, turn-it-in etc Even if you don't want to read, the fact that you must research will make you read and understand that thing so you can put it in your own words in order to avoid failing plagiarism test, thereby encouraging originality. 3. I got an interview invite in 2015 from a French multinational here in Nigeria. It was on a Sunday, they asked me to come for an interview that same day after lunch. I told them it was not convenient for me as I was far away from the state where the company was. I requested they permit me come the following day,they asked me to bid my time and come on Wednesday to allow me prepare well for my journey. Meanwhile they arranged my flight oh. Then shockingly, the man who eventually became my manager, referred me to a staff, he asked me to meet him before the said interview so I can know more about the interview. On getting there, I met with the said staff, guess what? This guy prepped me for the interview. Told me what I should say and all. Men and brethren, I got that job. No be anyhow job self. These experiences make me believe, our way is far far different from the way the whites reason. Them no dey make life difficult for people, unlike us here. May God help Africa. May God help my country Nigeria. 11 Likes 1 Share |

I don't think they'd expect you to wait for 3 hours. It's not a test and doesn't make any sense. Best thing to have done after waiting for 30 mins is to logout of the meeting, send them an email notifying them and stating that you would be available once they can fix the issues they may be experiencing at their end... 3 Likes |

stuffs2002:You haven't help him answer the simple question I asked. He probably used that time to insult others on Nairaland or other social media or doing one inconsequential thing. Life in itself needs patience. I have waited 4hours before to be interviewed for a job which turned out to be life changer for me even then, I was on another job not jobless as he is. I have gone for marketing where I have had to wait for almost half a day to see my contact. In life you need patience |
