I had the opportunity to sit on an interview panel recently, and all I can say is—many of you are simply not ready for the job market.

Let me break this down:

You couldn’t answer basic interview questions, yet when asked if you had any questions, you’re asking, “Is there any other role apart from the one advertised?” Are you here for a job or shopping around?

During the interview, you were literally pressing your phone while being asked a question. I had to call your attention before you awkwardly tucked it between your legs. Really?

You say you currently earn ₦750k, yet you’re interviewing for a role that pays ₦300k. Make that make sense. Why are you here?

You casually told the panel that your current job is your “Plan A,” and this one is “Plan B.” Since it’s a hybrid role, you’d use your free time to run your personal business. So, you’re applying for a backup plan?

You claimed to be a CFO in your previous job, but you couldn’t explain the most basic accounting principles. How does that add up?

Again, you couldn't answer key questions, but you're confidently asking if there are other positions available? Focus on the one you're failing at first.

Your sister called during the interview, asking to speak to the panel because you’re running late for a church program? Is this a job interview or a family meeting?

You said your Excel skill is 8/10, but when given a simple task, you were frozen—just staring at the screen saying, “I’ve forgotten it.” 🤦🏽‍♂️

Please, if you’re going to attend interviews, come correct.
Dress well, prepare well, act like you want the job, and most importantly—respect the process.

Why are you asking me why did leave my former job..if I didn't leave d job, I wouldn't be here

I left the job because you might need me...

🤫🤭😜

After all a 300k job should be a side hustle, after all the stringent qualifications requirements for applying for these jobs.
If no be this useless noise making church we dey disturb the neighborhood with vigil, I for dey enjoy my sleep now, I think the members are jobless or civil servants, they seriously need these kind of interview.
On the other hand I see honestly and sincerity in character as expressed during the interview. Just go on and select the best fit. If you need the perfect fit, you need to hire a cleaner with potential and train them for the position in the course of a year or two.

I don't know if this is related to the topic, but I just want to share it.

I recently had an interview with a US company that has a juicy pay package. The interview was between an HR AI system and myself. You will just be conversing with your computer and your video interview will be recorded. I didn't see that coming. The AI was throwing questions at me and I was answering them. Afterwards, it told me to ask it a tough question in my field. I did and it answered it correctly.

In my view, with the way things are going in today's world, we need to start telling people we know not to bother studying HRM at the university anymore because they don't have a job anymore 🫣. That company I interviewed with was an AI development company. The moment they fully commercialize that AI tool, many HR people will be jobless as AI will start doing their job. Believe it or not, this is the future of recruitment.

Normal normal, wetin concern local man . We'll learn on the job ma'am

It is obvious that the job applicant does not rate your company or think you guys are a joke and can not wait to leave.

Hilarious 😂 but sadly true.
Interviewers be seeing all sorts

Probably the HR and panel of judges had pure water satchet and eggroll on the table as refreshment,
Some old staff discussing salary delay and anticipating when it will come,

She don observe these things and just decided to not care,

I went for one interview on the island,

As I observed certain things, I knew immediately I can't work there, all they had was packaging,
To confirm, I asked the panel for tfare to go back home only 1person had 1k to give me, I smelt the embarrassment in the air🤣

To confirm or you were broke...?

You got 1k and you are still complaining. You expected all of them to contribute osusu for your TF back home?

Maybe you imagined smelling the embarrassment in the air because people "work/walk" with budgets on how they intend to spend.

And if they had what makes you think they owe you the responsibility to give you?


This is a weak line of reasoning and orientation bro plus entitlements!

Whether he was broke or not wasn't the point. It was a social experiment and he recorded the outcome to form his opinion....chikina!

Atlas AI

The interviewee isn't serious. Maybe he was testing his marketability and didn't need the job.

Experiment without job...

Such a jobless experiment. I hope the opinion he formed is putting food on his table!

Is this a real experience or it's content? Because a lot of it isn't particularly genuine sounding.

You say you currently earn ₦750k, yet you’re interviewing for a role that pays ₦300k. Make that make sense. Why are you here?

@OP Hamachi, did you include the salary in the job posting?

I'm asking because ain't no way the candidate would have known your salary offer is a downgrade.

ednut1:
Your shortlisting process is faulty here

If at all any of it is true. The one where the person earns more, is there something against taking a job that pays less for reasons that may not be disclosed to the interviewer? If it's not content then the interviewer sounds green.

ednut1:

How do you arrive at that conclusion? Is it just by the few observations she made here?

There's nothing these AI hypemen won't jump on.

US company my AS!

What I've always found curious is why nigeriam companies hardly declare the salary offer with the job posting.

Is it that they're not proud of their offer?

All you can say is that not all graduates are employable . Simple but bitter truth to swallow

Seriously, would this be your response? Seriously?

AI will still need in-house monitoring before they go rogue and sack everyone.

Your story sounds fabricated, and I must say... Poorly fabricated.

I have interviewed with some of the best multinational companies and finest organisations in Nigeria, and I can boldly say that... Most of what you wrote there can't happen in a proper interview situation.

Maybe you were recruiting for your local church, that's if this whole bedtime story really happened.
