Pls there is this question bothering me for some times now. It has become a constant headache during and after every interview.
Pls my Dear Honourable members in Nairaland, Is gap teeth in anyway an excuse interviewers use to disqualify people from any job, Most especially on banking jobs?

I have attended several interviews where I am convinced that i tried during the interview but unfortunately ended up not being shortlisted. I am beginning to think that my gap teeth might be a hindrance to all of my dream jobs...

Recent I applied for a Banking job, Service Executive to be specific where I got shortlisted for Aptitude test for three times. Latter on after some days i received an invite that i have been shortlisted for Virtual interview which was last week. Early this week I took part in the interview were i was told they will get back to me through mail.

Today i just got a reply that my experience, profile and presentation were remarkable but However, they regret to inform me that I was not recommended at the end of the interview session.

Without been told I already knew My open teeth is behind this again.
Pls help me out on this, if i should stop wasting my time, energy and money applying for jobs. Honestly I'm beginning to get depressed of all the emotional trauma.

The question is Should i stop applying for jobs like banks? Do I still have hope? How will I start imagine things when My age exceed their limit, knowing fully well that banks has limited age range.

Pls help a brother before depression will weigh me down. Below is the screenshot of the message i got from the recruiters and my gap teeth

I am more concerned about your facial hair. I hope you know most banks dont allow keeping facial hair? shave it off, be completely clean shaven and please have some self confidence. You can be the most intelligent person in this world but if you lack self confidence to put your best foot forward, you will continue to be passed over.

Bank will reject a strikingly good looking lady who is well spoken and brilliant, all because of gap teeth... Say wetin happen??! The gap in the upper front dentition would easily clinch the job for her ni!!!

They are probably not interested in your gender... A beautiful chick probably pushed you out... Probably with the same gap teeth you also have.

No need for depression, most banks pick the most attractive for customer care positions, especially young ladies... Keep at it. All good things come to those who wait and hustle harder.

Actually, I think you should get a recruiter friend to profile you through all presentations- CV, looks, aptitude, behavioural,etc. If he or she doesn't see anything other than the gap teeth at fault, then fix it. Govt hospitals offer good dentist service.

Honestly, if its a choice of first among equals...that lower part of your teeth could really distract people from you.

i didn't remember to edit that. That is what they send to me

And now I am sure it was your English bunot your gap tooth.

It can’t be,

Cause even the owner of fcmb is gap toothed

This your thread just made me and my family laugh.
Thanks for giving us a good joke.

On a serious note bro, nothing like that. I am not a fan of gap teeth but I think yours is so cool.

Don't let people deceive you.

If the job is going to be a client-facing role then looks matter a lot and your gap tooth could be a major hindrance in getting the job!

Your not getting a job has nothing to do with your gap tooth, you need to understand that the competition in the labor market is really high, you along side 100's of people will most likely do very well in an aptitude test or interview, but the organisation is looking for 30 candidates. when it comes to shortlisting a candidate organisations start looking for the extra in successful candidates, a second skill, higher certification, extra education, emotional intelligence, innovative capabilities etc. These days things change pretty fast and organisations have to adapt to these changes, the extra is what guarantee their survival. My advice to you will be don't be just what an organisation needs, be what they need and be the extra they need.

Have you ever considered yours might be a spritual problem??



I suggest you seek for deliverance early since this is a reoccuring issue.....

My opinion anyways

It can't be your gap teeth my dear, my dear brother, I must tell you the truth, in physical interview, we look out for your communication skill, your mannerisms, your style of responding to questions, your visual focusing, your etc, so let your close friends tell you what your problems are and try work on it, I pray that God will favour you soon and those that rejected you yesterday shall beg you tomorrow

A teeth gap is neither a criteria for short listing nor for employment. Do not make banking your only focus also try other establishments too to create more chances for yourself. Meanwhile you may need to reassess your performance at the interview and discuss with a buddy or other experienced person to advise you further.

Also not forget, depending on the bank, the NAIJA factor cannot be ruled out. Have faith and pray, success awaits you.

teadrake:
I've never heard of gap tooth being a criteria for job acquisition. When it comes to stuff like this, a lot is always involved. Your position may have been traded with someone else. Don't be depressed bro, yours will come in pretty quick and you'll be amazed.

hahaha

Don't mind OP,he could b one of dos ppl dat wen u tell Dem that thy are underground runs abt job hurting in Nigeria,thy wouldn't listen.

That's broken tooth, not gap tooth bro.

Just so u know there are many people with gap tooth working in the bank. So no it’s not due to ur gap teeth.

Check ur diction, English and appearance.

This your gap teeth sef na was,you sure say na gap teeth? because it's somehow upper and lower gap teeth and directly under each other,I don't think this is gap teeth

[color=#006600][/color]
It can't be the reason, it makes you handsome you just need to connect with people but if you want to rule it out go to the dentist and fill your teeth up

barnny:
they regret to inform me that I was not recommended

This is your problem in this particular case. Although, it may not be applicable in all the jobs, some of these low income jobs are usually easy to get once you have passed Aptitude Test. You needed to have contacted any of the top employees in any branch around you to help you speak to another big Oga. You would have been employed.

The good news is that it is not late yet to explore that means.

is that really a gap or a teeth is missing? actually they don't take that into consideration when employing it should be something else bro

Your state of reasoning is why they couldn't choose u, imagine you blaming your Gap teeth for the failure encountered.
..... U first need God

your inferiority complex is doing you bad.....Come on you are a man wear your confidence like a clothing bro.

Again, must you work in a bank?.......try other areas pls.

I want to believe the story is a parody!! Something like joking stuffs

Bro, it has nothing to do with your 'gap-teeth' at all. And don't also believe 'it is the Nigerian factor'.
All you may need may just be to up your game and you'll be fine.

btw, somebody asked, 'are you sure it's not your grammar'? Maybe, you need to 'Behind-up'.

weblord1900:
Las Las we go use the same gap teeth buy their bank.

I like u bro. We are kindred souls. If they refuse to hire you, walk away and then come back later and buy their bank. BTW what's it about gap teeth, I heard it used to be a criteria for disqualification. Can someone explain it for, please?

barnny:
i didn't remember to edit that. That is what they send to me

Don't mind them, don't get depressed dear. Great things will surely come your way. Don't allow some company's corruption to weigh you down

this one is more than gap teeth oo,na rat create gap teeth for you oo

I think it's your beards bro, shave and look crisp clean, let us know the outcome.

CYBERWEAVER:

una no go kill person for this nairaland

You may try being clean shaven next time.

Bros. Your gap teeth has nothing to do with your success or being given an employment in any interview. In fact there is a staff on wheelchair where I work.
If they need your services , they will employ you.
I think other candidates are being lucky than yourself this time or having strong recommendation than yourself.

Don't loose hope.

KingAzubuike:
Even in army recruitment, they do disqualify people with gap teeth.

do you know why??
