If you ever sat infront of the disgraced former registrar of Covenant University, Muyiwa Oludayo eh! you will understand this topic. The guy was so power drunk that he asked almost all unthinkabe questions

CV that I handed over to him ?

Ok. I thought he had your CV already before you entered the room as that is what it is supposed to be.

I have actually asked someone during an interview

1. How will your husband cope since you'd be required to close late or sleep in the staff quarters occasionally due to the job.

2. What happened to her husband (when she told me she's a single mum)

3. Why did they divorce (when she told me about it.)

I was actually hitting on her.

She got employed and is one of the best in her department.

Yeah it was.

But I think the manner of the interviewer atimes is to create a bond.

That worked in this case. We became friends, she became comfortable with me and related like we knew each other.

And like I said, I was hitting on her.

Can't stop laughing at this.

During pre-Draft visits or meetings with future NFL players a whole lotta odd questions are asked.. An NFL Player was once asked "if his mother is a wh0re".. This is just to check yo temperament cos you'll get to hear nasty inciting stuffs on the field, just so you get thrown out from the game.

Me : instantly l no do for that amount

Interviewer : Got angry, something that people are looking for

I pity op.
If I am an employer I will ask stupid question.
Some employers might want to test your tolerance and how you handle difficult issues, but you here woke gen z "I must report everything on social media" "feminist madam" thinking you are at the top of your game

This is Nigerian mentality. Employer wants to know if are qualified for the job and have capacity to do it.

Wtf is tolerance?

Only in Nigeria do an employee expect you to tolerate his or her shit.

This one is common [though also not normal] in organizations that need connection and networking to bloom, they will even enquire about your siblings.

They want to know if your existence in the company can fetch them influential folks

shut up abeg, this is not about being a feminist or not, this is about the insensitivity of employers, and it is because of this your evil behavior that u might never become an employer in ur life

Hehehe...back in the day...2017 precisely.
I'd aced all tests and interviews for a middle management position with a financial consulting firm (big one).

It was time to meet the MD for the last chat.

HR and his secretary already told me I had the best evaluation results the company ever saw (wasn't surprised ) and the man was looking forward to seeing me.

Myself, oh..well... Let's get it started.

Had a zoom meeting. MD was a young dude taking over from his pops..

Introduced myself etc etc and then, Bam! He asked me-. So... They told me you are smart. I saw your scores. If you are that smart how come you did not graduate with a first class?

Me - excuse me?

He goes ahead - you graduated with 4.4... (looks at transcript) ...how come..you didn't make a first class?

Touchy subject for me cos it was blood sweat and tears. But I smiled and answered , well, if circumstances were different .. I might have, but that right there is what I have.

Him "hmm". Your cv says you've held this position at this place. I know the chairman. Are you sure or I should call him.

I shrug. and smile- As you please sir.

He grunts , then- " you look like trouble. You seem arrogant. You are not humble. The impression I get is almost like you are doing is a favour by attending this interview.

I'm shocked and now pissed. So.. I say...well, sir. I am humble but also confident in myself and my abilities. You have a wrong impression of me (but in my head I'm thinking ... Bros.. if you have nothing reasonable to ask me, Ogbeni... Don't waste my time)

Next - Are you married? No.

Why- Personal reasons

Him-This is an interview. Answer the question.

I smile - Personal reasons.


He looks at me - I don't think we need a secretive person for this role.

I smile- I thought confidentiality was one of the top requirements for the role.

He's pissed but nods.

He asks me- what do you know about this company, I tell him.

He sneers and talks down at me saying I didn't do my homework bla bla.

Last last, he asks if I have any questions , "just 1" I respond.

So I ask. From your perspective as the MD , what can you tell me about your company and its value proposition?

Dude is gobsmacked, he tells me that's a stupid question.

I smile (and decide to be an A.hole) - Is it? I respond? It's your company, is there...a probl. Well never mind. I thought it will be best to hear it from the visionary himself.

Somewhat flustered... He struggles and stammers through 3 minutes of talking rubbish.

Manages to end the interview with some platitudes.. but I already knew it wasn't gonna happen....plus Nah! I don't want to work here.

Looking back that was the most annoying.

Thanksful:

No vex ehn.
Sis calm down.
If you don't like d question, tear your employer dirty slap or leave, life soft now

Don't confuse a recruiter, a hiring manager and a random manager as the recruiter.

I own a recruiting and staffing company, and I totally understand the frustration of some candidates.

We recruiters have a specialized training and industry standards on questions to ask and not to ask a candidate.

I am not based in Nigeria, and every country I have recruited from have a standard. Some of the questions I have read here shows that those people are not trained recruiters. They are probably just some random managers that the company assigned the interview duties to.

If you ask some of these questions in certain companies or countries, you will be fired. Those are terrible and highly unethical.

Whenever I do the first phase of interview with the candidate, I submit their names to the hiring company including an executive summary. Then the company does their own interview. However, I am always present at the interview (virtually). If you ask my candidate a stupid and ridiculous questions, or a question that is sensitive and unethical. I will dive in and ask that you either rephrase the question or end the interview. I will let the hiring company know why the question was wrong and if they can't find someone else to do the interview, then its a goodbye. I have collected my upfront fee. The loss is on them.

I will not let anyone disrespect or ridicule my candidate. If you ridicule them in an interview, then you will certainly ridicule them when they start working. The last thing I want to ever have, is for my candidate to call me that they are been subjected to any form of abuse at their work place.

If you treat candidate with disrespect, then certainly, your company's culture stinks.

Stupid questions demand silly answers:

"Oh, dude, I am soooo excited about being able to bring food to the table once again!!!"

Emmamay10:
At the final phase of the interview, I was called to meet their MD During the course of our discussion, the dude asked me why I am yet to marry after asking for my age. I felt annoyed. I wanted to smack his bald head, but I maintained my calm. In a nutshell, we ended up laughing loud when he asked again if I were a 'Ibo man', knowing fully well that I am a Yoruba man..

This was really funny. But I wouldn't get angry if I'm asked why aren't I married cos really why am I not married at my age. It's a very sensible and objective question if you asked me.
