WORK WAHALA - Interview gone wrong!

   
My country people how una dey?  Yo man! (in Uriel's voice), i thought to bring this juicy gist to you guys.


You know, i stated here a while ago, on one of this work kpalava label that i was in search for a new job? (my hustling spirit keeps pushing me to submit CV randomly) okay here it goes...

       I got a mail from one company i hadn't applied to. Usually, when i get mails, it's  probably to approve your comments on the blog ( my email has become useful) or to check my unnecessary alert (make una warn GTB) so i respected my self and read it. The mail stated that i had to come for an interview on Wednesday (see gobe) my brother was getting married on Thursday and i planned travelling before then. 

You guys, i even had another job interview on Tuesday, so i wasn't ready to loose any chances trust your girl now, "i too like to hustle"

    I started  preparing for the interview but, it finally dawned on me that i probably won't be able to attend. So,i  decided to send a mail  to them to find out if they could push the date forward. Na there my one chance start! i received another mail from them asking me to call the liaison officer, the mail had his phone number. See the delighted Nurse and blogger, whooza! i was glad. Who wouldn't be?

I called the number and for hours, it rang endlessly no one took the calls. Towards the evening on Monday, after my pm shift at the office, i dialed the number again and this time, he picked. Our conversation followed suit:

"Hi my name is Okhomina Becky, i was sent a mail to come for an interview on Wednesday but i'm calling because i wanted to see if i could move the date forward maybe till Monday, if you don't mind?

"Hello madam Becky, i am ________" ( i can't use the name he gave me biko) "yes it's true i'm the liaison officer for the company you called the right number" (okay, i don't understand this dude why the self appraisal?)

 "Yes, so can i get the date moved?"

 "Of course, our team of HR will interview another set next week Wednesday we can add your name to the next set."

"
Wow! i'll be highly grateful if you can do that for me." My brown teeth all revealed

 "hehehe ( the mugu laughed) but this is Nigeria o... you'll have to scratch my back. People who want this kind of favor  usually pay a huge amount of money but just send me  N 10,000" he laughed again

"I kept quiet....i was thinking, N 10,000 in this recession? if i had such free money, i'd have led a search on Buhari ! (oops!! slip of tongue). Oga, i don't have such amount" i replied him.

"Then you are not ready to secure an interview space."

" I already have one sir, i just wanted to move it forward."

" Do you know i can cancel the whole interview schedule? i am the liaison office for the company! i have the power to do so."

" At this point, the Warri girl in me, came alive. "kuku kill me!" i thought. who's a mugu? N 10,000 for job when i never see, besides which liaison officer, has time to do all this talking? my credit was burning and with the way EMPTY- HEN (MTN) charges me, i wasn't ready to go another minute.
" okay oga, i'll think about it and get back to you" i hung up.

My Mood changed. After this conversation, i had to go deal with a tailor who disappointed me ( imagine my brother's clothe still in the process of being sown!) tailors ehn, only few of them will make heaven. I'll bring the gist on how i raked for hours only to have left the shop empty handed! The shame sha, sometimes, shouting solves nothing! I had transferred the aggression to the tailor and when i realized the tailor wouldn't bulge, i called  a friend and poured out my frustration. May the Lord keep Us from fake adverts(Amen!)

  The internet is such a powerful tool, after much deliberation, anger, fury and laughter (the tailor and i later kissed and made up - 'My vex na indomie vex'). I typed  the company's name on google and bam! it came up as  fake advertisement. Nairaland, God bless una! Happened,  a lot of persons had been scammed by this same company, they just call people for interview, do some nonsense training and give you some unregistered Agbo- Jedi (herbal drugs) with a green shirt to go market. ( i call this, advanced hawking). Nne i was glad the Lord drove 419 far away from me. I later prepared for the verified interview i had for Tuesday(wish me luck guys) any how e go, una go hear am.

WARNING!: Make una shine una eyes ooo... this is  2017, no room for dulling every kobo is a necessary kobo! ( wafi slang) 

Ditto guys #one love.
