They made life unnecessarily difficult for you... What will it take for that man/ the panel to be polite and nice to you?

pocohantas:
If you want to get the gravity of a statement, translate it to your local language.

Imagine walking into an interview hall to tell the interviewer “Jisike Sir”. Haba!! You were too unserious, but don’t overthink it, it is a learning curve for you.

So I attended an interview this morning, I applied as a farm manager. It's for a big farm that also has an hotel. We were called to present ourselves at their hotel at 8am in the morning prompt.

I got their around 7:50am. I was ushered in by the security. I have to say, it's an A+ hotel. Exquisite, full of luxery. I met people who came for the interview at their open bar. We were up to 20 in number.

I won't say I did not get intimidated. I mean their are young guys at the hotel, swimming, playing basketball, working out at the gym and they're all young. Like under 30. I'm the youngest out of the applicant I saw on seat btw.

The interview did not start until around 10am. We were kept sitted at the open bar doing nothing. The sun was out today so it wasn't pleasant sitting down at all.

It eventually got to my turn around 12:30pm. Yeah, it means I won't catch my beloveth man united at their first game of the season. Gosh! I came in, and the young chubby beautiful lady helping the elderly man conducting the interview codely signaled me to greet. Gosh, were are my manners.

I said "well done sir".

I'll refer him to as the Man henceforth.

The Man said what do I mean by 'well done sir'.
Still standing I replied 'I saw that you're busy with works on your desk and I have to greet.'

He replied "Am I the one that gave him work to do that I have to say well done? Don't you know well done is after a work given has being done and the giver has to complement on a job well done? You don't say well done in an interview. It's only my boss that can tell me well done. I know you don't know that, but now you know. Next time say Good Afternoon. You can have your seat"

When did well done become an insult??

Of the many interview questions that I was asked and I couldn't answer perfectly, one comes to mind.

I was asked to talked about what I know about Palm Kannel. I said we could get a lot from Palm kanel, we could make Palm oil from the kanel,and the by product of the kanel can be meshed and used as fuel and stuff like that

"Stuff like that?" The Man said.
"Stuff like that"
"Are you a Yahoo boy"?
"No" I replied. (I'm just 27 btw, I have a forever young look).
"Stuff like that? You don't say that in an interview. It's grammatically correct, but it's wrong to say in an interview. Who are you? You just say stuff like that?"

I felt I committed a war crime to be tagged yahoo boy cos I said 'stuff like that in an interview'.

He said good day.

stanelvis:
He was being very polite by correcting him.
Op was so unserious and doesn't deserve the job.

gentleibraheem:
To All the people Castigating the guy.
What is the need for all of those formalities in Interviews are Interviews not meant to Select candidates most suitable for the job?
what is it with the Language and all. we all need to make life easier for ourselves. yes. and I mdon'ts start calling me a Gen Z or Millennial

SmartyPants:
That says a lot more about the place.

arantess:
Next opportunity you get, try to be careful and serious
Truth is mannerism matters a lot in interviews, and you quite clearly lacked it

armadeo:
Loooool.

Sometimes when I read such I just dey laugh dey go. Some will still not take correction.


The boss go shock!!!

Anyway @ op (ellegacy) you have learnt a lesson here , the bashing you have received here make me pity you small.

It is well. Mistakes are made to learn from. I'm sure your next one would be better.

Childofaking:
I think it was disrespectful to come in to where you have your superiors and say 'you guys'.

SmartyPants:
1. Workplace superiority does not make human beings into deities. It.might have been slightly inappropriate but that's not cause for anyone to be outraged.

2. The reaction, almost slapping a subordinate is extreme unprofessional.

Symbei:
���� this is so funny. Who says well done sir in an interview �

Ellegacy:
I know that now. I'll be more cautious of what I say next time.
