Is It Okay To Call A Company Regarding Employment? by Yide10(f): 10:47am On Oct 09, 2021
I did an interview at the beginning of this week and I was called by the HR on Thursday that the company will be employing me, he asked if I would be available for resumption on Monday, and he was told yes.

He then said I would get a proper employment mail from them, which I have not gotten from Thursday till today, tomorow is Sunday and Monday is almost here.

Should I place a call back to the HR probably tomorow afternoon, if I don't hear from them or should I just keep expecting and move on if I end up not getting the mail?

I'm really skeptical on calling him because of our mentality in this country.
Please house, what's your suggestion on this?

Ok.

If he is on WhatsApp or has a mail, drop a message. It doesn't hurt. He could have forgotten.

Please don’t call or send an sms or mail.
Best thing to do is to keep praying for the employment letter to drop.
I’m speaking from experience, lost something like this because I called.
Wish you all the best.

Lol.....@slickbishop, I get ur point, it's just like it still doesn't change anything. And that's why I was hesitating as well.

Alright guys, I finally called him yesterday (Monday) around 9am since the number is not on WhatsApp and I don't want the situation whereby my mail would be ignored, although I called him on Sunday but he didn't pick.

So when I called yesterday, he apologized and says they are having some internal issues and the mail would be sent hopefully before the end of this week.

I don't believe him tho, it seems the usual Nigerian politics has been played. I have moved on.

Thanks to you all

I received a call from an HR of one of the companies I'd applied for.
It was like an interview/conversation sha which went well.
He asked if I'll be able to resume work at a so so so date, I said yes.
And he said good, he'll get back to me with the next steps.

Well, till now I'm yet to hear from him, and the given date don pass sef.

Before then, day by day I kept contemplating whether I should call/text him for reminder but I didn't want to sound desperate or look unprofessional so I held back.

Well, 2days after the date he gave me for resumption, I texted him... Just greetings sha no response and now I'm thinking maybe I lost my opportunity by not making follow up on time.

Next time, I won't let such repeat itself again!
I'll text, and call him.

You should have called the HR. Most times it is to test if you are still interested in the job.


I applied to a care home, I was called to book a phone interview, which I did, and I was given a date and time, that reach, time weh I give them pass, so I had to call the HR that same day, and she told me she completely forgot she had an appointment with me. Long story short, I was interviewed there on the phone and I got the job.

So call them.

No mind how I switched from English to pidgin...

Oftentimes, it doesn't change anything in this country that we are, where our usual way of thinking is that you have to suffer and get stressed to get every positive thing. If it would bring any changes at all, it would be negative, you would be told you are desperate.
If a company seriously needs someone to fill a vacant space, they shouldn't forget that vacant chair, should they?

You were just lucky, that woman (HR) is one in a million among Nigerians

You're right.. The country is just a mess, why should the company forget about a candidate if they're really in need of one.
They probably ignore because they've found someone else who they'd like to proceed with

Just give it call. Whatever the answer would be, you will never know until you try.

It's called follow up.
He said you were going to get an official mail to resume on Monday and since then you haven't called to know what happened to your job? Ok now, continue.
