" 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.

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.

You are supposed to switch off your phone.
You are at work.
Ring your mum during your break time or take permission if there was an urgent mater prior to that day or time.
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. They have disregards for laws, rules and regulations yet they scream and shout at politicians
Do that outside and you will receive warning,query suspension and sack

What a principal did to me in her school.
It was all rainy, as I stepped out to submit my long postponed application at a school I've always wanted to work for, if I should ever decide to go teach.

Undoubtedly one of the best secondary schools in my city of residence, from structures to school facilities and staff remuneration, I'll be very careful not to mention name. I made sure I stepped out like a responsible person, in character and in learning. On reaching the school premises, I met a staff who directed me to where I can do the submission and subsequently write my name in the register.

As I was about leaving, I saw a long time class mate, who happened to b a staff of the institution, the last time I saw that guy was in Jss3, so came the normal tradition of greeting a long time pal, exchanging pleasantries in happiness. Unfortunately the Principal who happens to be d owner of the school came out and met us discussing, what then transpired, no one will want such as an experience I'll still share it anyway...
The principal looking very angered came at us, pointed at me, asking who I was, that am discussing with her staff inside the school while he was on duty. (Pls...not that school have resumed o).

She then threw a lot of questions at me, after I told her my motive there. Like where and how I knew my class mate that am sharing the same hair cut which she's always against and have warned him about( my hair cut is a low afro-style,cut, not the long type). she asked abt my type of qualification if its HND or BSC, I replied BSC which according to her still gave me opportunity to borrow more time in d premise. She then demanded she look into my CV. after glancing thru, that's how my interview started, she then requested a Geography question templates from her office.

If they actually told me interview was the day, to be honest, I would av disobliged, thinking am not ready. But at that point I was consumed with anger, I wanted proving to her that though hunger is real in this administration, but it doesn't take away brains. To the best of my knowledge I replied correctly like 95% of her questions, all thanks to their mediocre kind of Geography questions, except the ones I even had to correct them about.

The most annoying thing here is her manner and tone of communication, very disgusting, disrespectful and filled with hate. As if I came to beg. The last straw was, after defeating her question she then brough a map work, and refused giving me a common material like ruler. It was then I told her its not possible.

As I expected she'll fix a date for it so I can come with my tools, for God's sake I came just to submit my application. It was then she started saying a whole lot, that pple like me,just like most of her staffs can't and won't last with her for 2months. Why should I discuss in official hour, (when school haven't resumed, no teaching whatsoever going on). So I demanded she gave me back my file which had my Application letter, CV and photocopied documents in it and left.

My question are these: Employers pls... why do you advertise for workers when actually u]you are sure you don't want to employ.

Why do u think its a favour u do to pple when employing

Did u not start somewhere b4 ur present status.

I must confess, this is an establishment i've loved, still loves and will love to work with if given opporunity, even after the mishap, bt Its a pity I had to witness such, I don't know if to call it ill-luck, BT the scenario have risen the hate in me towards serving sm1, to see, the best in self development in d midst of mediocre/no jobs. I am sad.

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

Most times, private school owners feels they are doing you a favour, they want you to worship them and freeze at any time they appear.Mind you, you may even be more qualified than them.The country have no known association that appears to fight for the rights of private school teachers.....

lomaxx:
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

My brother its not every employer...early this year i turned down an opportunity with a firm in Lagos lekki.
It was painful to turn it down cos it was a perfect project mgt job for me...Lagos, Ghana, CV...engineering servicing firm, however the pain was that I wasn't going to work with the woman that reached out to me...she was so humane and I knew at once I will grow and develop working with such person. An operations manager....a times I still think of how different her approach was to interview and negotiations from all the other managers I ever met...

Alas today, I'm an employer and her influence though short, taught me a big lesson. Then I just started my firm, so I chose to grow it rather than seek employment again. Today I'm working on expansion but that lady...I saved her number and follow her on linkdein

Tokskob2008:
Meeting indeed!! He was owing all staffs over 2months salary all in the name of the school building has to be completed and look beautifully well to his taste and the gathering was to remind us about that. The call of the one who spent her time and money right from baby even still up to that particular moment should have waited while the I give my undisturbed attention to an idiot who plays god over his staffs NO! NO! NO!

world123:
Most organisations do not want to employ someone who already has a an existing relationship with a staff. So next time, when see somebody you know at a place you intend to work, please look away. Don't even behave like you know them if you really want the job.

Psoul:
Do you know that there are rules that paragraphing must obey.

So, he will have to break those rule because there are lazy ppl that are too lazy to read?

CelestineNelson:
Humble your self and go back there...

All private establishments.

Anyway, I'll say it's a life lesson to you. Remember this when tables turn cos many of such people were once in your shoes.

VTJN:
Do you mind linking me up with the Ambassador Ota sir?

I'd be grateful if you can sir. Thanks

Oktane:
Very immodest statement here.
I think in order to understand the real problem here you need to procure a full length mirror. It will deal with this matter once and for all.

AmuRubber:
Kindly direct your request to the owner of Nairaland, his father owns the said school.
