Pls guys let's mind the way we dress when going for interviews.

Went for an interview at grooming micro finance Bank Ojoo (Ibadan). After long waits we were told that two people have been disqualified for the interview already. Little did I know I was the asun "scapegoat".

I had felt a bit uneasy earlier and had released my neck button not knowing the boss there had noted that down" unsmart dress sense"! jeez!! And I had always been soo painstaking about stuff like that especially with tips and experiences from nairalanders...

To Sum it up,I was sent out Cox of da Lil "slumber".was really pissd Cox I had stayed up all 9t practicing interest rates and solvin emergency mathematics. well av learnt my lessons so pls guys not until u get screwed!always b mindful of your appearance Cox u never know,ur village ppl might just be watching

My guy , later in life you will thank God you didn't get the useless job . A place where they can disqualify you for not fully buttoning up to the neck is not a good place to work . Employers like that are s , they are the type that can hire and fire for no good reason .

Better jobs will come ur way by God's Grace , don't just relent you are nearly there.

It's a silly lesson to learn but I trust you've learnt it?

First impressions count...

One company I went for an interview at (this is back in the days- they don't do that now) Put drinks and snacks out and if you helped yourself, they would mark your .

Companies use psychology to try and understand you because they don't have the power to get to know you.

Bro! Cheer up...

That' reason was too petty... The interviewer could have asked you to go get properly dressed in the restroom... But he chose otherwise...

better luck soon.

Typical Nigerian employers be acting like God cos they think your existence depends on their job.
Was interviewing with a company a while back and the interviewer asked me what I was hoping to earn. I told him 180k and the next question he asked me is how much will transport you from your house to this office. In my head, I was like ewo lo Shi. I am an experienced hire and not a fresh graduate. If you dey find person dey you go calculate his transport fare, go look for interns.

Young graduates should learn to dress well. I've seen a guy wearing this slim and hanging tros to an interview. He had the guts to use a tie!!!! He was looking like one irresponsible fellow. I mean this is a job that the starting salary is 150k !!!!! Invest in dressing simple.

Even if you buttoned up, the smell of your perfume will make him angry or even your smile.

He just wanted to find any excuse to send you away. Probably because there are too many shortlisted people and he doesn't know how to bring the numbers down.
