It is always about what the company wants.
You're not cursed and rejected. No, rephrase that.
There are many opportunities to make money online.
You can leverage on that too.

Keep quiet! Stop saying what you don't know.

What do you mean by "a hotel in a place like VI"?
Is hotel a beauty or fashion outfit?
What has looks got to do with hospitality and hoteling?

I've worked in Federal palace and Eko Hotel respectively; all in VI and I know so many short guys and ladies working as receptionist in these hotels without discrimination of any kind.

My ex works in Chevron Hotels at Chevron drive lekki and he's average (though he calls himself short man). One of their receptionist is a shorty too. So what are trying to say?

You're also wrong to say someone should consider their body shape and type before going for certain jobs. Mehn! Like what law says that or its you who's just coming up with warped opinions?

Abeg shift!

Fvck off. Always seeking online validation from faceless people. Just go through your posts and see. No iota of sense in any of your posts. Dimwit. And you lie a lot.

Only people with empty lives seek for attention like this. Get a life please.

I know I may get some backlashes for this on Nairaland but the truth is some industries deal more with looks than any other thing, hospitality (I mean the top ones) is one of them. Even if you apply for some position in bank without an extreme enticing body/shape, you will not be selected.
It's a known fact everywhere not just in Nigeria, you should know your look/ body shape can get you disqualified for some jobs.

I remember someone saying "ooomo, una get fine fine girls for here o" when I was working for one company few years ago. The truth is beauty is one of the things they consider in that company when recruiting (not only for girls), because they believe they sell looks and naturally or not, you must be presentable at all times.
Most top hospitality need modelled structured individuals especially at the front office or someone with banging body as Yinkaolusesi16 says. It's the plain truth, it's not as if they are selling them, but they add value to the company. It's a form of indoor advert. You may understand better when you have your own business.

Sorry about that babe, but the best for you will soon come where you would be greatly valued just for who you are.
miss cherry,
I for like see reason why people scream "omoo una get fine girls for here oo".
I like firsthand witnesses,
Firsthand experiences,
And firsthand testimonies.

quite irritating as you link you failed job quest with the country. Stupid ppl always do that.

Every job has a requirement. Moreso, you are trying to make this a gender thing. Guys get rejected too. If you like go do olosho as u no get this one, na ur body go tell u.

I want to say that if it is an hotel job, then it is not the height but the appearance. Most of the most sought for ladies in social business are apparently the portable sized once who display confidence . Even if she is a dwarf, so its not really being short as not dazzling with your god given height.
Re: Rejected For A Job Because I Was Too Short. by buJu234: 3:35pm On Mar 17, 2022
@OP sorry for ur case.. but with all due respect.. there are industries in naija where ur height, shape, colour, connection etc count oo..

If u can bring a customer with billions, the banking industry will employ u with 3rd class b4 a first class person..

If u have sexy curves plus beauty, u will get an hotel, restaurant etc jobs faster than a skinny ugly lady .

U get it now!

It's an interview,no one cares how they suffered to get there. Some even cross rivers to get there. Not everyone will pass the interview. Period!!!

Sorry. Communication is a problem to many people - how to use words appropriately.

Why would the HR tell her she can't be given the job because she is short.

The HR needs to go back to school and learn how to communicate with sense.

As in ehnn...
I left the job I was doing in January because of the heavy stress and low pay. Ever since then, it's been from one interview to another grin
The last one I even attended was last week and the whole process was so organised. they even sent me my score so I thought I had made it in life. Only for them to later inform me to come with some money to get some training materials for the job. I did some findings about the organisation which I didn't had time to do because of the short interval between my application and the call for interview.
Las las, I got info from a legit source that everything they were doing was just packaging. Na so I weak...
Aluta continua...

I gave up searching for job a long time ago. I went to meet self-made Igbo men to learn business from. Thank God now. We dey try small small.

I am not knocking you or any thing like that but this post explains why we are in the shitt hole we find ourselves. Our worship of sex and sexual inuendo has really bleeped Nigeria up. If she had a banging body but works with kidnappers, that will be just great? if she is rude to staff and customers but the boss or recruiter is wetting their dicks in her, that would just be great for the firm. This is why no Nigerian company survives past a generation, This takes me back to almost 20 years ago when I went for NYSC, I went to a firm to look for placement, on getting there, the scretary called the boss upstairs and the boss said that if it was not a girl, he was not interested. I had the IT skills to move this company forward but that did not happen because the boss wants an office wife.

we need to do better as a nation. the men need to do a whole lot better.

Good idea.
I'm considering this too. The dimensions things have taken makes me wonder if I can survive on salary and what kind of parent I would be when I got a family to take care of.
I've got intention to learn one particular skill and I hope to build a career around it. Just tussling around trying to gather some money to pay for the registration.
I know it won't be easy but I'm determined to achieve beyond what my certificate can offer.

Why I always advocate that short people shouldn't be getting married to each other.

The government needs to prohibit union. With the rate at which short people are getting married now, the average height in Nigeria might be 3 feet in years to come.

Who told you that if a short person marries a tall person they will produce average children? My dad is very tall married my short mum and they produced all four short children except one which is average.

Anyone can be employed or rejected for any reason. But the recruiter no try at all. He wasn't professional enough.
