The HR person is at fault I am in HR and because of these kinds of reactions, I usually start my calls by introducing myself first so the other person knows who is calling and is at ease. He could have simply said "I am John D calling from bank. That wouldnt hurt. That said, the lady should have been cautious as a job seeker that was just interviewed and expecting phone calls. Lets call a spade a spade please.

Don't mind them . They do these things to have jobseekers fail so they can be seen as less of what they really are.
Hi, I'm *** from *** company. Am I speaking to Ms ***? Okay, we received your CV and would want to have a chat with you... SIMPLE!
You go dey ask unemployed Nigerian wey fit don dey frustrated, questions wey fit make e blood begin dey boil

The average Nigerian lash out first and then reason later

Nigerian lady and their attitude of asking .

Who is this and how did you get my number
Ordinary such question shouldn't be a big deal to answer but the way they ask it is a turn off

It's very easy for me to recognize and separate calls from HR personnels, calls from scammers and calls from just any other person!

A lady I referred for a bank job in the first week of June got a call this morning to resume work at an Uyo branch of the said commercial bank. She was fortunate to be among the few applicants that were shortlisted from among a large pool of graduates who got interviewed for the jobs.
No, but she won't be resuming!

She finally lost the opportunity because of a phone call.
She had received the call in the early hours of today, 10:00am precise. It was from the HR department of the bank.

But she didn't say "hello".

Her first remark when she picked was "who's this?"

Before she got any other reply she added "how did you get my number?"

The HR person goes "Am I speaking to Miss xxxxxxx?"

She felt the question is unnecessary! And she gave her final response.

"Please if you don't want to introduce yourself get out of my phone" that was her final word!

I got a feedback from the HR by 12noon today and I listened to that conversation. Those kinds of phone calls are always recorded for reference purposes.

Aunty lost the job because she lacks Phone Conversations Etiquette! I listened to the recorded version of that conversation.

She lost the job because she believes every unknown male caller is a "chyker".

You see? After all it's not always because HR people are "despicable" as they have been labeled by Nigerians!

Why would a Homosapien answer a phone call like this in the year 2020AD?

Watch out! Your next phone call might be your breakthrough! But your ill-manners could cost you the miracle

The more i read this the more am beginning to think it is fake. Writeup. If HR manager want you to employ mr abc, even if mr abc messed up on the phone they are still going to employe him then train him on his phone manners.

Another example is if personnel director said recruit Mr Abc, and you as the HR assistant or manager called Mr Abc but because mr Abc was rude on the phone to you you are not going to employ mr abc that your director said you should employ.

Oga abeg Stop giving HR people bad name. It is good Friday, am going to save what i think of you for next time.

Dont say she lost her job cos of telephonic etiquette, who told you they have offered her the job? Maybe the call is just for an interview, attending interview calls does not guarantee a job .

knightphoenix:
I'm tempted to insult you but i trust, you'll get that sooner or later.... FYI its their job and its supposed to be like that to test your composure.

No sir

I think the HR was not right, she supposed to officially introduce herself first as the receiver answers the call. A company with such awkward culture deserves not to work for.

What happens to email conversations?

eyeneka na so most of our ibibio sisters dey behave when you call them on phone. most are naturally proud and rude

it's typical of most ladies

Feel free to insult. It's a freedom of speech and it won't affect anyone but yourself.

Well, go on YouTube and watch how HRs from other countries behave and test it against what happens in Nigeria.

Imagine going for an interview and they make you wait for hours even without an apology that is inhumane and unethical.

I share your view too. I had to go back to check the first two words shared by them. Possibly if the lady had responded hello, HR could have possibly responded with his or her identity.

The lady didn't do well, but HR too didn't do it right.

That's bullshit. The HR people too dont have phone etiquette. Why would you call someone and not introduce yourself? You know how twisted that shithole is with insecurity everywhere yet you expect people to not be on their guard. SMH

Isn't it just weird and unnatural, the way an average Nigerian girl sees her pussy as a gold mine, thinking every male outside her family is trying to sneak in there and steal her natural endowment... and she does her best to monetize the thing at virtually every interaction with the opposite sex.

Just totally, completely weird I tell ya

Nicklaus619:
Nigeria ladies are so shallow-minded.
That was how I was innocently picking and dropping one lady in my department in the office with my car, the very day I bought my car and start driving it to work, we actually stay one estate apart and I thought it wise since she ain't mobile, let me be helping her, of which my fiance knew and was was cool with, fast forward to after 3 months of constant picking her in the morning and dropping her after work at her gate,

Aunty approached me one day and was like
Nick what do you really want from me because u can't be doing all of this and not wanting something in return?

I was so pissed and disgusted by her foolish comment, but i did not answer her though, I just smile at her, dropped her at her gate as usual and drove home, immediately I got home, aunty has called me like 4 miss call, I eventually retuned her call and she started apologizing for speaking out of tone, I told her not to worry that everywhere good, but that was the last I drove her in my car, up till date she still apologizing, but I no longer give a fvck, most Nigeria ladies thinks every guy always want to toast them. well I shocked her, because my girlfriend is 100 times more endowed and beautiful than her, what could I be wanting from her biko

But you no go help your fellow man like this.

The problem with your type of men is that you are unnecessarily nice to women but not Men.

spits

MejiLoyon:
This morning I still blocked someone for answering rudely. Shey because you get punna you feel all men are at your mercy. Ogun keeeeee you. Hello this is Mejiloyon. Next thing I heard was yes what do you want? Wetin hqppen. Abi weyrey leleyi ni? I just replied sorry ma and hung up. Nack am solid blocking. Somehow she realised who I was and called back with another number. Once she introduce herself I dey hangup and block. It takes two to tango. Make she carry her winch go another place

This one common die among those "boss ladies"...but some rude and ill-cultured men do it too. I put it down to 80-20%

It's like this is a new trend on nairaland, someone will lift up story from other social media platforms drop it on here...

Richy4:
I beg to differ with you sir.... The HR is not at fault.... The fact that you started by introducing yourself does not mean it only work that way... It goes both ways..

If you call me for example and I don't know your number, What will it take me to say Hello richy4 speaking.. it's just like a default setting for me.... Then U will say hi to me by calling my name, then introduce yourself to me.... If due to certain reasons you forget to introduce yourself, thinking I know you and might recognize your voice... I will say may I know who is speaking please.... It's just common etiquette and manners.. she is mannerless.

when u said she should have been cautious as a job seeker, were you indirectly implying that she should pretend to be nice while speaking to You as a HR then later unleash the stuff she was made of while working with customers?...No wonder mannerless people occupy customer service positions if U as someone working with HR couldn't see what the other HR saw.... I'm glad that the experienced HR dictated it early.. there were lot of mannerless people in the bank those days especially in First Bank.. Imagine adding this one to their statistics... though I don't know if they were still like that.. .

.

its not about how you feel. You are representing an organization and the standard practice is if you call someone, you introduce yourself especially for professional calls. I have recieved calls from representatives of fortune 500 companies and even my doctor. It is the same format. They call and tell me who is speaking first

I wonder how many times you guys will recycle this story. Today it is bank, tomorrow it would be an IOC.

While we implore people to learn phone etiquette, no HR would call you in that manner. Nigerian HRs are bad, but not this bad. Even the number they’ll use to call would tel you the caller is most likely official, not an individual.

No bank employs a GRADUATE over a phone call. Na cleaner? You wanna preach phone etiquette? Fine, but don’t overdo it.

This is a spade.

You just hit the nail on the coffin

Na God catch her, very prevalent among Naija females...

Cutie09:
Bros I'm a qualified HR personnel, HR do not speak like that on the phone. The first thing you do is introduce yourself as HR personnel because the person (talent) you're calling may not have your number

2) after introducing yourself and why you are calling you can even ask if the talent is free to talk now or he or she want you to rearrange the call also you must be apologetic you are sorry for calling without notice etc.

I have friends in naija that are HR assistant they behave professional that HR personnel was not professional that is why i strongly believe the story is fake.

It's a fake story!

That is why you are not and can never be a HR person, her true character was exposed because she is a senseless and stupid girl without manners

The HR person, if this is a true story, was very wrong. If I were the lady, I will wear this as a badge of honour. When you call someone who does not have your number, the first thing you say at the earliest opportunity is to introduce yourself. No stranger should call my phone and expect me to be nice to him/her while withholding his or her identity. You call a strange number, then introduce yourself ASAP before the receiver even ask you who you are.

Queenmark:
Well the HR person lacked phone etiquette from my own opinion. If you call someone the first thing to do is introduce yourself before going further into the conversation.

HR personnels in Nigeria lack professional ethics they just feel they are important cause they interview people and you need a job.

and the girl doesnt?

You think HR and employers don't evaluate their potential employee's character. Social media posts by people have denied them jobs on so many occasions, I suppose when a customer walks into the bank they won't be greeted by her until they introduce themselves.
