As she jerked backwards, her cup of coffee in her other hand spilled all over her white suit and she screamed because it was hot and she fell backwards onto the glass table which shattered.

Back then person wey dey work for inland revenue service na big boy just like Chevron. As I entered the gate, I saw two angry looking security coming my way . They were like "bros who you dey find". Me that I don't even know who I was looking for I didn't even know what to say. Then one of them shouted "pls get out". As a Nigerian graduate wey naturally get ego , I told them to talk to me politely and stop shouting. They even started pushing me , I felt like the ground should swallow me. One sexy chick was passing by (obviously working there ) approached the scene to know what was going on. She told me to pass a call to whoever invited me , I said okay and pretended to go outside to make the call. I jejely walked back home in shame.
Second was months after that incidence, I got a job as a gateman in a firm. Never had I been so embarassed in my life. Customers talking to you anyhow like you're shìt.

emperordelis: Mine was sometime around 2017,i had just completed my professional exams and it was only natural i start looking for a better job that befits my new qualification..Rearranged my CV and started bombarding marine / shipping companies and their agents with my CV. After about a week, i got a mail from one of them asking me to be in Port Harcourt the next day for an interview. I was excited,couldn't even sleep well,left Uyo very early the next day and got to PH in time..Went straight to the address she asked me to come to,if i had known how this day would turn out to, i probably wouldn't have wasted my time going there. I got to the gate,security man won't grant me access without getting approval from whoever asked me to come. I spent over 30 minutes trying to call this lady,no response even after the security man assured me that she was inside,decided to call one last time and call it quits,she eventually picked up and gave me the worst attitude / insult i have gotten from any HR Personnel so far. Insulted me for calling her number,i tried to make her understand that i didn't come on my own,just yesterday she sent me an email asking be to come for an interview. I have never felt so embarrassed in my entire life,i apologised for calling,ended the call and cursed her to suffer for 6000 years..Wasted transport,wasted energy,wasted false hope just to come and receive insult... Some HR people totally forget the Human in their Job title Nigerian HRs are the most egoistic pompous sadistic set of people that ever liveth. Most of them have no iota of understanding of the 'Human' in their job titles. They want you to tremble at their feet, I'd rather someone respect me than fear me. 14 Likes |

Yes, I have a story to tell. I had applied for jobs and one sent me an invitation for a follow up interview. Since this was the second call, I was confident that I had the job, so I went to bend down select, OK, to pick some cooperate trousers and blazer jackets.
I washed them and ironed the one I thought was best suited for the interview. I got there early and cheerfully walked up the stairs. There was a big mirror by the corridor, right before the door, I looked to take a glance, that was when I saw it, my trouser had started tearing from one side. Oh, my God. I was like noooo
I hurried back to the ground floor, there was a dry cleaning center there, so I begged the sales girl if she had needle and thread, she was hesitant at first and then gave me a rusted needle, at that point, I was ready to use broom stick sef to sew the trouser so I gladly accepted, entered their toilet and sewed my trouser. Then proceeded to the office like nothing happened... I was just saying "thank you Jesus for that mirror“.
I got the job but couldn't keep it because I couldn't balance it with my responsibility as a mum. Anyways what I learnt from that experience was, do not wear a cloth for the first time to an interview, ESPECIALLY if it's okrika. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Nuttella: You can't surprise someone with a job without having their CV or their info. Anyways I dont trust in man, I trust in God Ah, you have not met men then. Your CV is inconsequencial prior to getting employed if you know people in this country. You can submit that for the records after you resume work. I once stayed in Abuja and I have seen people get jobs without CVs, applications or interviews. They just got employed by simple referral or picked up appointment letters after a short phone call.
