God is watching you on apple tv, for bringing ibiobio sisters here.

The HR for make am sweet by texting "aunty you don lose your employment be that, you know one say hello ba, at least help me tell your village people hello no vex"

AuroraB:
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

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.. .

EbenezerTriumph:
na my sisters na.
tho generally most Nigerian ladies are rude on phone but my ndito ekas for this side Dem sabi form die

Karlovych:
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.

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

Ishilove:
That's the problem with the world. We talk too much. This present generation cannot tolerate the sound of silence

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

firstworld:
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.

drmikeadams:
Haha don't mind those trying to justify their rude bad behaviors.

Cutie09:
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.

ngwababe:
When someone says "hello", respond to the greeting first before any other thing. A simple "hello, good morning" shouldn't be a problem for anyone on phone conversation.

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

I can quite relate with this. I advertised for a direct staff here on NL. A number of CV's came through. I ran an assessment and shortlisted about 6 or so. I called one of the prospects and her immediate response was, " How did you get my number". There and then I knew she couldn't be on my team. I told her in plain language how I got her number and why i thought she wouldn't be able to work with me because we are a service delivery company and there is no how she will cut it with customers if that was her best approach to calls from unknown persons. She struggled to apologise but the boat had since sailed. I wish our people will learn courtesy. It costs nothing.

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

Havesomesense:
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.

JaneYave:
Phone etiquette is very needful. If only she listened more and answered the questions, the problem with us is that we voice out too many unreasonable things.

franciskaine:
Even at that, her question wasn't out of place. It's just the average Nigerian thing that no help comes out from the blue just like dat. Making her feel less a human doesn't fit in.

aktolly54:
mr HR, how did you test patient or temperament of each prospective job seeker?

mrdharkchild:
Tell your HR that she'd land another job.
The job she was to be offered is not her final trial in the job environment.

Why won't the HR introduce him/herself first?
"Who is this, please", is a very common question, when an unsaved number hits your cell phone.
Your HR ain't God.
Another opportunity will suffice.
Please b guided.

adrusa:
May they should be breaking into the homes of their potential employees to see how they will react to total strangers, not just on the phone. Yeye. Even if you are President of Nigeria, when you call someone who doesn't have you number, please introduce yourself ASAP!

Cutie09:
You can't test it on the phone trust me. Remember people can put up oscar performance over the phone to get a job

2) thats why we do have probation period in the contract because that will let you know their character etc while in same environment with them.

3) moods do affect the way we react sometimes on the phone. Let assume this said lady's just got a sad news eg husband or family member just passed away and the next call is about the job. how do you expect her to react on the phone?

When calling potential talent always ask if they are comfortable to talk and let them know how long you are going to be on the phone for

I strongly believe it is a fake story
