Hello members,
This is a long post and may include some errors. kindly ignore the blunders therein.

So, here it goes.

I was informed of a job offer at one of these LAPO MFB. As requested I went there to submit my application letter along with the credentials.

Getting there, I met with the branch manager. We exchanged greetings, he asked me to sit and thereafter we discussed about the job offer that the pay is #25000 and it is a three months program.

The necessity of hiring extra hands was because they have a target to meet within that stipulated time. During our interaction he went through my letter and eventually told me it wasn't within his capacity to employ that he would have to call me later today or certainly tomorrow after he must have met with the higher authority. that's how we rounded up our discussion and I left his office.

Few hours later, I received his call that I should come right away of which I was busy far away from the place coupled with that I had no transport fare to meet up.

Consequent to that, He asked me to come the following day by 8am. Noting this I went there though before going I had no office shoe as I long forgone anything like corporate work even though I was a teacher wayback.

As to this effect, I didn't want that to be an excuse for me not to go there so I dressed neatly though not tucked in because it wouldn't be proper to tuck in with slide footwear also I trekked to the place even though it's far but that's not a problem anyway.

When I got there at that time I had to wait because they were having morning meeting. After some minutes, He called me in, he asked me some questions about my name, address and others. He proceeded to tell me what he had said the day before. Thereafter, He said I would have to go their state office at Oshogbo to collect a letter indicating my employment . more like a traveling to the place costing me #1500. ordinarily that shouldn't be a problem but I didn't have that money to make the travel that's what I said.

He said the company would settle me on my return. As I was about to seek permission to go outside to make calls. One of them started talking scolding me that I shouldn't have said that I do not have money and my mode of dressing blah blah. I eventually went out to make the calls but I couldn't get any help because it was too sudden.

I went in to tell them, he returned my credentials. that was how I left.

Insults and blames are welcome but be objective please. thank you.

No sir, you did not do any wrong.

They wanted you to go to osogbo to collect a form they could send through email? Or is there anything else attached to the osogbo you wanted to go?

Many red flags about this job bro.

God would provide a better job. Keep on keeping on.

Thank you sir. and to think that I could have been informed earlier like a day before when he called me on phone. that would have ignited my preparation prior to that time.

Sorry, It was a letter or employment not form I meant to write sir.

All These stress and embarrassment on top 25k that wouldn't carry u for 3 weeks? And to even think it's a temporary engagement. Pls take my advice; whenever u are looking for a job,never be broke. Have a small biz or skill that fetches u income no matter how small. That way u are more confident and stand a better chance at negotiation with these exploiters that call themselves employers. You don't fall for anything cos u are not desperate and u give them terms and conditions instead of vice versa. All u need do is to develop urself and be highly resourceful and watch them bend to ur whim. Never been to an interview in corporate dressing. All I do is dress smart. Do any how and I tender my resignation and move on. Anyway, I had to give up on a salaried job cos of issue of TIME. Instead of gettin stucked in a modern day slavery in the name of job, I rather use it to pursue a number of legitimate hustle. Rest,flex and still make far more money while keeping my sanity. Never be broke while searching for a job!

I like your gut.Cant the branch at osogbo fax the letter of employment to their Lagos office so that they can print it out and hand it over to you?The salary is even poor.I don tire for work.Na bandit kidnappers I wan do.A very lucrative business

Bleep them and their 25k salary. I once attended an interview for a 30k job on palm, Jean and a shirt not tucked in and of course I got the job.

Frankly speaking, you should have at least dressed half corporate but your dressing on that day shouldn't be a criterion for the employment, rather it should be your qualifications and your performance in the interview.

Bleep them and all other institutions/companies paying 30k! Bleep them!

You were lucky...Cos if na me?.

Your moni woes will affect their business

Noted

Keep searching bro... Nigeria is a lost Country already

Hmmm

God we pray for a turnaround in this nation NIGERIA IJN,Amen�

N

..

I see nothing wrong here

But to be honest.. you shouldn't have told him you had no transport fare, you kinda like indicated you were not serious about getting the job..

Telling him about you not having TP should be on an unofficial environment or a call to him later on, if he could assist you..

On your dressing.. it doesn't matter as long as you look clean and decent.. you no go steal cloth because of interview na

Probably...

Probably not

Funny thing is that you may have been better off than those people when they first got the job. If your attitude was bad, their own attitude in response was even worst!!!

This country is worst than hell fire

All these trouble cos of a tentative salary of 25k job? What the heck?

This an amount I can easily make in my local office in a day without stress.

So terrible

Girl try to discover yourself within yourself

This so embarrassing

It Depends.

Now, let me go and read.

Firstly, that money is not worth your Dressing.

People like that end up using and misusing you.

It is good you didn’t go to that Oshogbo.

Do you know the life of a sales person? It is hard enough in TIER 1 commercial banks that are known, now imagine selling LAPO.

You say you don’t have office shoes? Had it been you took the job, you would buy one Aba shoe, but when you are done trekking inside Oshogbo market, body go tell you.

All the market women go know you. Them go post you tire.

Nobody will tell you to run.

Those days a childhood friend worked for those LAPO fellows and they're really nasty. I was volunteering and working almost for free back then and he wished he had my job instead! That's how bad and unprofessional they are.

You dodged a bullet there. If you worked with them, your life would have been miserable

All these mushroom banks..
