My lil bro applied for this job; he was so excited when they sent him a message online for test, so he did the test and waited for a response from the company.

Fast forward to Monday, my bro was in a meeting, so during the meeting his phone rang and he quickly set the phone to be silent. However, the caller called only once and never called again. But as soon as my bro was done with the meeting, he called the number back. A lady picked up the call and my lil bro was like "sorry, I missed your call, I was in a meeting." The lady said she will call back.

Today, after three days of waiting, my brother decided to call the lady again. "Please are you working with xxxxxx company?" My brother asked.

An awkward silence ensued before the lady said "why are you asking?" My brother replied with "sorry, I was expecting a meeting with xxxxxx company, and you called yesterday and you said you will call back, but you never did."

The lady now said: "yes, we are already through with the next stage which is the interview and when another opportunity arises we will let you know."

My brother have been depressed since.

Most HR are natural hated and some are loved.

Imagine my Kid sister invited for an interview and she requested for a virtual meeting but the HR requested she must be in the office which is important. The job was in another state and she spent 10k, imagine they didn't refund part payment for her tfare even when she told the HR she was coming from another state and pleaded if they could help her with anything for tfare. The interview didn't last 10mins and you asked someone to travel down for an interview

She slept at the b/stop for 2 days before a good Samaritan helped her.

If you applied for a job and you know the method of comms is through calls, not text, not WhatsApp, it is expected that you be available to receive news of your recruitment process.

Employers are always on the look for employees who would come into the organization to help, not just fo their work and go.

Depending on the HR/Employer involved little characteristics or traits from prospective employees tell a lot, for example his not picking the call at that time may have indicated a 'hard to reach' persona.

I was put out a flyer and a lady replied with all info and her CV. She fit the bill perfectly and I called her in for interview the next day.

Next morning came and I got a text -

"Good day Sir, I'm sorry I can't make it the time we agreed. I had all-night in my church and am (sic) very strong right now"

I blocked her immediately and called up someone else.

In summary, if you're still in the labour market and really need a job, ensure you do everything possible to nail it first.

ScamHunter:
Job hunting isn't done leisurely. You must be prepared physically, mentally and financially. Your brother ought to have been at alert waiting for every call since he was job hunting. No excuses because the job of the HR is not to give you a job, but to screen out unqualified candidates so that the hiring person could get the most qualified people. Your brother made the job of the HR easy by not being at alert when he should. Job hunting demands skills and preparedness. If you're good at these, you must get jobs because the person hiring needs you as much as you need a job. Good candidates are offered multiple jobs because they have what it takes - the mental capacity, skills and preparedness to get the job.

Sorry, I didn't specify that the job is for experienced people. They want people that are already working or have worked for 2 years or more. And when the call came in, the time was 9:00am on a Monday! That is unprofessional from the hr.

Bro/Sis

Every business in Nigeria right now is surviving by the grace of God. I don't want someone to come and wreck me because 'daddy said she should sweep church on Tuesday morning'!
