Jobs/VacanciesRe: Some Fun While Job Hunting by myke92(m): 3:46pm On Mar 01, 2019
oluwaseun239:
My work is quite demanding with an annoying pay. What you would get from a typical Nigerian private company – they pay for “trial version” but demand “premium service”. So as expected, I kept applying for new roles in my spare times. It was then I learnt that applying for jobs in Nigeria (or maybe anywhere in the world) is a fulltime job on its own. Company research, cover letter wahala, CV optimization for the role to mention a few. All these things are real hardwork.
Well, a lady whose contact I happened to have due to a reason that’s too long for this paragraph to handle posted on her whatsapp status that she needed a guest to serve as a resource person on a TV show. So I replied with “I am interested but I hope it will be on Saturday because of my job”. And that was how our conversation started. It turned out that the show was on a weekday, so there was no way I could make it. But somehow, she asked about my qualifications and work experience and I told her. I studied mass communication and I had interned back then in school at my school radio station where I co-hosted three shows. These were all I told her and the next I saw was “If you will like to work with us, send your CV to this mail (her email address)”. If you still don’t get it, she works with a TV station (name withheld).
So I sent my CV and she replied that same day, telling me how impressive my CV was and that I should get an interview invite soon. True to her words, I was invited almost a week later – it was a day before my birthday. I got my first post-nysc job on a day like that a year ago so it was a good omen. In my heart I was like “God, another birthday gift from you?”
The D-day is finally here, how do I excuse myself from the office with all these tasks on my desk? I believe we all have our accomplices at work whenever we need to go out for “shady” things. So I collaborated with mine. The plan was for her to tell anyone who asked of me that I had gone to collect my PVC. Yeah, it was like a perfect plan. Election was around the corner and INEC had issued a deadline. So it made sense to say I had gone to collect my PVC as a good citizen. Of course, INEC wouldn’t give me the card so I would come back to the office “frustrated”. So I set out.
I had not even gotten there when a message came in – “they are looking for you and it seems to be urgent”. I’m sure you know who sent that. That disorganized me instantly.
I eventually got to the place about 15 minutes late. I was asked to wait in the reception where I met another guy waiting. “are we here to struggle for the same role?’, I thought. I said hi and he replied with hello, his smile brighter than mine. He folded his legs, chuckling intermittently while he stared at his phone. I could relate, I do that often too. I guess we all do – social media turning us all to walking mad men and women. We went on to talk about him, myself, Nigeria and why we both were there at that time. I later found out I had been talking to one of the most prominent names on radio (name withheld). And apparently, we were not there for the same role. I collected his contact of course.
Meanwhile, I still continued to get messages from office that my attention was needed. I had been out for almost two hours now, very unlike me. And to think that we’ve not even started the interview and I am second on the queue. “Jesus, when will I leave this place today? Shey this people will not catch me like this?”, I thought, ‘this people’ being reference to my colleagues and superiors at work.
It’s showtime, the interview is set to start. I discussed with my guy (yeah, he is my guy now) to let me go in first since I have to hurry back to the office. He graciously allowed me and I went in. The interviewers were two – a man and woman, both in their 50’s. We went through the traditional “tell us about yourself” thing and I think I smashed it. Almost every applicant in Nigeria knows that’s like the first question in every interview so I was ready for it. Then the Jamb question came – “what role are you applying for”? Shit, I have no idea. In my head, I thought that must have been sorted between them and the person who told me to send my CV in the first place (second paragraph). I know I can write well (this article should be a proof) I just need more practice, but I have always wanted to be a presenter. To answer the question, I said “role of a presenter sir”. Unfortunately for me, what they were hoping to recruit me for is a content writing role. Shit, I just shot myself in the leg. How do I say “I can write too o? They won’t take me serious”, I thought. So I sticked to the script.
I’m sure you can guess how the story ended. They told me “we will get back to you” but even I knew they won’t. But I learnt a few lessons that day and I met an amazing personality who is still a friend till date. Who knows, I may still get a call from them. I’m still kinda optimistic.

Thank you.
Cool story.. But, what eventually happened at your main place of work when you returned ?
