Cool stuff.
I like doing what you just did sometimes.

I like it.
Sometimes I attend interviews for jobs I am not interested in but in other to understand the company in case I may want to work there sometimes in the future or just because I want to build myself in job processes (Like updating my website www.nairamode.com for job processes..

During those moments I ask very valid questions like:

1) What plan do you have for your staff?
2) What is the growth trajectory for staff?
3) What kinda staff can they not work with?
4) What is their annual sales or profit like?
5) and what are their challenges? etc. This surprises them all of the time.

Normal things we are meant to say at interviews if everything were right and we are not desperate for jobs and we are not bothered about our proud interviewers who would start taunting you.

Sometimes, I tell them what I feel is wrong, what will work and wont work. Lol you get?

At the end of the day I may tell them that I have very good people I can recommend for the job and I have gotten positive feedbacks with his kind of strategy many times.

Its cool what you did and I would do it given the situation.

I just want to know what you think of this..i went for an interview and I met this lady, I must say she is very nasty and the people that I met in interview room told me that she has an attitude problem. I called them bluffs. Now when it got to my turn to be interviewed, I realized that the lady is just daft. The job was to be market personnel in another city and that place isn’t where I am based. To get on my nerves the firm is run by Indians or these Asians and I must be honest I detest working with them. I have had a lot of nasty tales about them.
To cut the long story short, the lady told me that I will get to another level of interview, after that If I am employed that they will give me a target of 150 million to sell some damned electronic in one nasty northern zone and Abuja. That they expect me to hit the ground running. I just looked at her, I laughed. I asked her what about my accommodation, she said that I am expected to cater for my accommodation in the new place and new town and if I don’t meet up the target the first month that I will be fired. At that point I got so bitter with her nasty attitude, I told her point blank that the electronic product isn’t a premium product and for me to market that product I need to study the market and competitors. As an igbo man that understand business and street marketing. I need to taste the waters. ..

To cut the long story short…I told her that I am not interested in her(their) offer. She was dazed and surprised. Maybe she have been used to people been desperate for jobs and enslaved, as for me hell no!!! I went back to my office. Now the question I want to ask is that have you ever rejected an offer that is ridiculous and enslavement job in from of the interview person?
Let’s talk about it so that those looking for job should understand what dignity and ego means, but this should be only when you have a job at hand.

Is it that easy to hire marketers?

I wouldn't mind hiring some myself in that case.

@post - ideally they will have done a market survey before hiring marketers to either waste their time or get themselves blown up. Even a security analysis first and probably clearance from regional security agencies before sending anyoen there. Otherwise if anything happens while you are on the job your family should sue them to Timbuktu

I had an experience with a money doubling firm about a year ago.... D package was too attractive to be true... deposit money and get 100% profit monthly. I was made d Chief accountant, issuing receipts 2 people who have made deposit to a nameless account domiciled in a New generation bank. I felt if it were 4 real den banks won't be giving only 3% interest 2 dia customers. I googled and couldn't find d organization's website, I wasn't given an ID self. some greedy people rushed in with dia millions.. After 3 days I just picked up my suit, went upstairs and told d Boss I was leaving, he instantly increased my salary, I still told him my conscience won't allow me work here cos I don't no where d damn money goes...DAT was how I left......Months later, d main guy was arrested, he is still in Jail as I write dis piece

Will u be able to cope wit d stress?
Are u willing to pay 4 d accomodation wit ur cash in anoda state, or hav u 4gotin dat ur travlin to anoda city?
Wich money will u b feeding with?
Can u stay in d north?
Assumin dia gonna pay u, how much will there pay u dat would cover all ur expenses?
Or maybe u will collect their goods and stay at home and at d end of d month u will return to their company and tell them dat u didn't meet up d target, and dat there shud pay u ur salary for d month... Akpors.

Nobody should take this job no matter his/her condition. They are asking you to sell an unknown product in a place where you don't know anybody. Worse, your salary is tied to your target. No target no salary.

Their target is unreasonable even if they are selling SUV. You can't raise 150M for an unknown product in 6 months sef.

Nigerian investors are enjoying cheap labour. it is horrible working for Lebanese or Indians.

Honestly, what some people do is slavery and not a job. If at the end of the month you and only feed and pay for transport going to work. Hmmmm, check it. If you are badly treated at work without respect but the pay not bad, manage it. if badly treated at work and the pay not enough to feed and pay your basic expenses, leave the job especially if it does not allow you to move out as to search for better offers.

Mongoloids(Chinese, Lebanese and the likes are just thieves in our country).

inception101:
let me chip in my little experience.... a man called sometimes last month and told me he saw my resume and he's impressed, i said thanks and he said its quite unfortunate that the post i applied for (senior customer care rep) is not available at the moment but their is one vacant post he would want me to fill.. we discussed further and he said the remuneration is 60k and i said it would be best if we could discuss one on one and he obliged and we fixed a date... fast forward to the said meeting, i called him and he decided we should hook up in an eatery-so we met and discussed. the funny part was he said i will be in charge of the whole bizz(dry cleaning store) i will work as a P.A, Pick up and delivery guy, telesales person, HR personnel, Operation manager and the list goes on and i said OK. he now asked if i have any question and i said with all the job description he mentioned whats the take home? he now asked how much he said on fone and i said 60k and he said 60k must have been a slip of tongue that he meant 50k and i laughed........... i laughed so loud that he asked why i was laughing and i told him that asides passion the next motivational factor is MONEY that the said 60k sef is too small and he said a car would be give to me and i asked that hope i wont be the one paying for maintenance and fueling since the money is meager and he said that if i can work wit him for few years that i would really enjoy him that he has other plans to acquire more businesses and properties..... i told him i cant settle for the said amount and then again he said he doesnt like people that talks too much about money and i walked out and sent him a text afterwards ""sorry for wasting your time''''.............. i just strolled down to my office
