A Nigerian job-interview story

It’s interview day and you are tired of staying at home.

9 months at home is a long time, also enough time to have been reborn into unemployment.

Some of the people you spoke to about your condition, said you should pray hard, because jobs are quite hard to come by.

You get there on time. And guess who you meet at the reception. A legendary job hunter who is legendary because he’s never aced an interview.

So he starts to advise you and give you tips on how to ace the interview and you are like:

Its your turn to go in and the interviewers start to throw the questions, so you answer them, trying to charm your way through the session.

But one of the nterviewers just looks at you, like:

And they look at you:

So they start to lecture you about how great their company is and why they have room for growth and all.

Then your phone rings and guess who comes on?

And you can see it on their faces that things just went south.

To prove you really know where you are, they give you a report to make a quick assessment and its starts to look like Chinese

But you find a way around it. And ace it. So they make you an offer. 

You’ll work Monday to Saturday.

The money they offer, can’t transport you from Monday to Wednesday.
So what do you think?- They ask you.

They ask you to go and give it some thought. For the first time in your life, you hear “We’ll be expecting your response”.

In your mind you are like:

But all that comes out of your mouth is 

You go outside and Frank Donga is sitting there.
No happy ending again. Its hopeless.

Then your phone comes on again

It’s that company you applied for last month. They are asking you when you’d like to resume, with all the terms you asked for, of course.

But you haven’t even danced yet, because this coming Sunday:

Victory at last.
