She was probably testing how you’d respond under pressure. You have to learn how to take control of employer-employee conversations. It’s an art. She was already with your file. You didn’t need to ask for it back. It could as well have been banter around your subject matter (which you admittedly outperformed). And even if she hates you, she doesnt hate your competence. Which is why she still retained your application until you asked for it back. I know say country rough, but you have to be level headed and learn not to take things personally 10 Likes |

The corporate environment is cut-throat at best. You must be ready at all times when job hunting. And don't get angry too fast by collecting your cv back, while her attitude was not appealing yours wasn't perfect either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lf3WhsByAk https://youtube.com/shorts/7nO0SISgL0Q?feature=share 5 Likes 1 Share |

mikedanza: Fact that’s true. I once had an interview like that. The interviewer was a UK doctor and he was bantering my additional qualifications. I kept telling him “the records are there for confirmation”…”I can provide additional details and documentation to confirm any queries”. He was the one taking the thing personal. But I made sure I floored his questions. When it was time for me to ask question in the interview, I asked him about his organizational culture and values. Baba calm down 2 Likes |

If i tell you Op my experiences as a former school teacher ehhhh.... Indeed teacher's rewards are in heaven not on earth. That's why i believe churches and missions should handle more schools since they are motivated by the Holy Spirit. 1 Like |

1. As a former admin, I would never treat staff or potential staff harshly. 2. Your value probably went up in her,/his estimation and s/he was probably more likely to hire you. 3. S/He may be trying to start very strongly and harshly to avoid 'over familiarity'. Overall, I don't think you should have withdrawn your application. If the school is much better, they likely have better pay, better lesson opportunities, better training opportunities, maybe even a chance that your children could school there for free or half off. Be wise my brethren. 1 Like |

I wouldn't employ you if I'm the owner. You are too proud and arrogant. Wonder how you will be in real life if you write with so much pride and arrogance. And yes, there is no set rule for conducting interview. Unscheduled interview is always the best. 7 Likes 1 Share |

I remember a long time ago after University, and as i finished my nysc, I got a teaching job from a small budding primary school, that the school owner was just doing her NCE at a college of Education, oh God this woman was always intimidated by me, I don't know why she is always on my case, always watching me and following my everystep, she never wanted me to rest simply because I was higher than her education wise. I never bordered that she saw me as a competition in her school, I couldn't take it anymore, because it affected my emotional well being and psychology, made me have unnecessary heart attack,if she had her chance to reduce my salary,she will do it, I was not always myself, I couldn't be very productive in what I do, I couldn't just be free to teach from my heart because I felt as if I was not doing my best, someone somewhere was not happy with me. Until I saw the way her children looked at me with disgust, like I have committed a big offense, and I saw the way they treated me, like I am nothing, is it the gossip behind my back, like I was not up to anything, simply because they own there house and school building together, as if they were Demi gods, I just had to leave the job and find another one which I got, and there I was appreciated, with a higher salary, although both were offering little salaries. These school owners don't like to treat people right, they see themselves as small gods, avoid anyone of them that want to belittle you at any given point, may you feel worthless. Such act can negatively affect a person psychology. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Tokskob2008: A call came in while your superior was making an address, briefing the staff or having a meeting? Your phone was not switched off and it wasn't in silent mode? You then probably picked the call and of course didn't excuse yourself from the meeting because it was your dear mother calling you.......for something that couldn't wait for a few minutes that the meeting would last. 3 Likes |

lomaxx:Somebody making sense. The guy is so full of himself. All potential employees love when they are challenged and he did that. She also tested his anger management as he is going to handle school children which can make yu go crazy not to talk of parents wahala. A friend is a teacher in one foreign owned school in Abuja. She wasn't interviewed like proper interview but was brought in to a problem the school was having the day she went to submit her cv and was told to solve it and the oyino left. Cctv was in the room. She was left with a spoilt rich teenager to calm down. She went home after that day and she was called for face to face interview weeks after. Then she got the job. 7 Likes |

Op, never forget this day. Never forget the pain and humiliation you went through because you sought employment in an institution which you have always wanted to work in. Never forget. I say this because you will be top someday. I say this with so much conviction because I believe that you will. Remember that if you do the same to someone else, the person will also go through the exact feelings you passed through. 5 Likes 1 Share |

" I collected my CV and worked away", clap for yourself , You have gotten the job you so much crave for. You lack humility and courtesy, you only told everything bad about her and you an angel. Whenever I come across people who easily condemn and find fualt with other people, I always treat them with caution. The woman's action could be a way of testing your manners, temperament and character as a would be role model and teacher of kids who are impressionable and copycats and you failed from the first word. Ask yourself if the woman is that bad how come she is running a highly successful business that you envy and wish to work for. You woefully failed the interview, you must change your manners to qualify to teach and mould young lives. 5 Likes 1 Share |

You guys lack training in preparation to the work community. I will sack you myself. Nonsense. Na only you get mum. Go and let your mum pay you. Nigerian workers are simply like Nigerian politicians.
