What Is That Strange And Funny Job Interview Experience You Had? by cyberkitty: 4:05pm On May 12, 2023
For me, a very funny and strange interview experience was when I applied to a Tech Startup in Lagos for th role of a Web developer in 2017.
They were building a recharge card to cash swapping app.
On the day of the interview, I worked into their Complex at Chevron and meet the interview crew.

The lead recruiter asked me to sit down. Requested for my CV ( I was shocked since I have already uploaded it earlier).

He carefully looked at it and asked with curiosity, "Do you're an FGC student"?
I said yes, I went to Federal Government college Portharcourt.

To my surprise, he said his son is also an FGC student in Abuja. He then said " FGC students are very intelligent, so when do you want to start?"

E shock me.😳😁

I answered what do you mean sir.
He said when do I want to resume.

I told him as soon as the job duties require. I was told to resume 4 days later. He told me to wait in their waiting room and after some few minutes, I received my offer later.

It came with accomodation and feeding.

The company rented a furnished service apartment for all the developers. 2 to one room


They took care of our feeding. We only reported to the Company office once a week.
We spent most of our time in the Tech hub and our apartments.

This was one of my best experience working with a Nigerian company.
The developers were so intelligent and smart.
Surprisingly, 65% were JAVA Devs.

So Does anyone here have any crazy job experience or strange or funny job interview you would like to share?

I will relate later my other strange interview experience one in Abuja?
