I do support the lady's rudeness, but the company should have informed her on the method they would use to contact her in case she was selected. It is just standard procedure.
This could be part of the test. See, in this situation, her job will also have to do with interacting with people on a daily basis and you never can tell when a prospective client is the one chatting you up. No matter what it is, the first rule should be a calm and modest response until you find out really who the person is or his intentions.

Are you serious? Lol! That wasn't intended to be the interview, but the lady's lack of mannerism led to it.

It's actually good for the lady, coz many ladies quicky confront someone with such questions in their DMs most times knowing fully who they person should be

Respect for the two greatest genders. We are as weak as we are strong.

For those defending her rude behaviour because the company shouldn't have use WhatsApp as a medium of contact are probably not following the fast-paced world and the evolution of communication.

Before it was by post employee received letters of employment, then by email, then by calls, and so forth. Communications have evolved and even WhatsApp have a "WhatsApp for business" app, to make communications in the workplace seamless and efficient. Also, maybe they informed her earlier that WhatsApp would be the medium of communication. But even if they didn't, does that justifies being rude for no warranted reason?

Regardless, her response if not polite even to someone she considers beneath her, and no matter how you slice it, its rude and tells negatively about her temperament.

I agree, but try and look at it from this perspective : you receiving a text from an anonymous number on WhatsApp is a breach on your privacy and security. And as you know, this is 9ja, and you cannot vouch for the next man. So her response is only natural given the circumstances
Use Ur brain oga, place try to use Ur brain....


I mean Ur brain deserves to be used, don't make it redundant sir.

Nansense! The company was trying to explain himself, how they got her number and why they contacted her. A little patience before typing the next message would have saved her all these. In fact since she was not the one who reached out first, she should have waited for the person who reached out first to say what brought him. But no since stupidity and clout chasing is engrained in their blood, why not!

And you giving such excuses for the stupid girl shows you both are on the same boat with a tag Idiots!

.....Guy you lied.There was this job I bidded for in a state ministry last year. No information until two weeks ago when I came out from the bathroom to see a miss call of an unknown number.

I simply returned the call and even though I greeted the person at the other end,there was no reply to my greetings. The only thing I heard was,are you Engr so so so,I said yes sir and he now introduced himself as the chief of staff and informed me that the job has been approved.

If I was rude when I greeted and he didn't respond,do you know he might cancel the contract?

All we are saying is that we shouldn't be rude to anybody especially to strangers.
Ogbeni, what you experienced has no resemblance here. You went to bid for a job; not an interview or recruitment excercise.

And even at that, it is still not right for companies to go about treating employees in such shitty manners.

Jashub:
Mr man, just admit it, you do not know the definition of the word "interview ".

The Zoom, Skype and co, you mentioned would require a facial interaction(face-face), not a messaging session like what was done between this girl and the company.

But take it or leave, what was done here was not an interview, it was Social media chatting grin
Social media chatting or whatever name you choose to call it but the underline fact here is that someone lost an opportunity to be offered a job due to her poor human relations.

I will also point to the fact that not all interviews need to be a face me I face you affairs. An interview in a graphics design outfit should carry the same weight as that of an oil industry. If the lady in question failed in such a small matter then I'm afraid of her performance in a bigger scene.

Fussion1000:
If meetings of head of state can be attended virtually, am yet to understand your argument on how, .....I have my company and I want to run it the way I want is bothering you.

Applicants dictating to company how they run their policies!
cheesy

I'm sure by the time you become your state Governor, you'll still run your state the way you want. cheesy

Later you'll start blaming Buhari.

Companies should be ran properly not how you want.

It's just so bad that we don't have choices in this country, in a sane environment, if your interview process is shitty you'd lose talent to competitors.

Kondomatic:
Dude, how is receiving whatsapp messages from unknown person a breach of privacy and security?


Must we find excuse for everything?

"Hello, good evening Mary."

This here shows that the sender know her a little.

The best rude response should be "Good evening, please who is this"?

Not "Hu is dis" followed by "how did you get my number"


Call a spade a spade.




5n is not a response to good evening in any language on earth and there's nothing "nonsense" in being told to calm down.
That guy is stupid. Most times I get messages from people on nairaland, and usually I forget I posted my number to be reached, and I have never responded in the way that girl responded.

Omo free that guy you are quoting. His stupidity is like peak. It's in him.

OscarJaden:
A lady identified as Mary who applied as an intern in a firm last month lost the job because of the way she replied the interviewer unknowingly on Whatsapp.

The interviewer greeted her but before he could introduce himself, she was already blasting him with questions. Even when he tried to calm her down, she refused.

in her words:Wat nonsense, don’t tell me 2 calm down. Who is this?
Not to excuse the Lady's attitude but the person that contacted her is unprofessional.

The guy should have used his organisation email to contact the lady or better still call the lady and introduce himself first before any conversation.

But professionally, email is the correct avenue to contact any candidate. WhatsApp shouldn't be used at all.

This is my own take here

I have been following your comments and I see you're fighting so well to paint the organization bad.
It was a recruitment exercise and a recruitment exercise has many stages, not just the physical interview alone and I hope you know that.
She might have gone for the physical interview and passed and there are other stages left before she can be hired, so stop saying the company was wrong. Admit that you're wrong and stop defending what is wrong.

Keep silent jare! You talk like one who has taken too much wine. Let me give an example of what is right since you feel this case is biased.

Can you remember when N-power started recruiting?

In case you have forgotten, let me jog your memory for you :

When N-power did their recruitment excercise, they told all applicants prior to the time of selection that they will notify all successful applicants through SMS!

But here, they gave no formal notification; they just emerged out of the blues and started Whatsapp with live-chat like we are seeing here! undecided

KosiGee:
Why not reach her on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms as well??
When you create your company, reach your prospective employees through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms. Don't tell a company how they should reach their prospective employees. They know what they were looking for and they knew the test that would separate the unworthy from the worthy. How they test is up to them not you. Who are you or anyone to tell a company how to contact or test their prospective employees?

I don’t know which environment you are operating from but ethics and professionalism should apply in ways that company interact with people.
Bullshit. There was nothing unethical or unprofessional here. The company, their rules.

That lady might have been receiving unsolicited texts from strangers, anyone could’ve been in possession of her phone at the time. If a company uses this means to test potential employees...then they must be crazy...

It’s like my uncle hiding money in his pocket and asking me to wash his clothes back then...I’ll politely give him the money but subsequent ones, I made sure I wash the clothes and the pockets till the notes form papier-mâché...he had to stop....perhaps if potential employees give this people a mouthful via WhatsApp, they’ll act professional.
Building more irrational excuses. Being polite and well-mannered cost nothing. Instead of doing what is right by supporting and encouraging good behaviour, you wasted energy subtly covering up and excusing trashy attitude and attributing blames to the company. Why? It's because you and jashub are just like the lady in the chat, attitude-wise. You both see yourselves in that lady hence the compulsive need to defend.

It's good that she was dismissed for her rudeness and ill manners. People like her and you guys are trash, real trash. You people do not change, and people who consider you friends should reconsider. At least, I am happy that most nairalanders have a good moral compass

The job was not meant for her. Forget it. When something is yours, it doesn't matter what you do or don't do, you'll get it.
Why do people believe this? It's so irritating.

There is nothing engraved on a stone, you destiny is what you make of life every single day! There is nothing ahead, just the present plan and management will decide if tomorrow will be favourable for you.


Just imagine a girl saying when the time comes, God will send her a husband, so what if the husband was one of those guys died during protest or police brutality? She will remain single abi?

The fate of humans are not engraved in a stone, it changes as we grow.

Bia Jashub u are a very foolish fellow. U are wise in ur own eyes,but u are a big fool. Any sensible person will know that the girl's response was so rude and mannerless. But u are here talking thrash from the beginning of the thread.

Truth is most Nigerian girls are rude,uncouth and mannerless. I guess this is due to the constant attention they get from guys trying to get underneath their skirt.They believe the whole world revolves around them.But thankfully it doesnt.
