Nigerian job interviews are not for the faint-hearted. If you’ve ever been to one you’ll know exactly what we are talking about.
It all starts with waiting for them to even call you for the interview after you send in your application

Then you finally get the email you’ve been waiting for “Dear Miss. Ayo we are please to inform you that…”

Then reality starts to set in and you remember that getting called for the interview doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get the job.

You start researching the company and the role you applied for as if you are getting ready to write JAMB again.

The morning of the interview you ginger yourself.

You get to the reception and spend thirty minutes waiting for the receptionist to show you where to wait while she’s playing Solitaire on her laptop

Your ginger starts to slip when you walk into the office and it looks like this.

You start prepping yourself when you hear other applicants talking about their own applications.

At this point is not as if you are panicking o but this how your shirt will look.

As you are trying to calm yourself down the door to the interview room opens and you see the applicant just be for you laughing with the interviewers.

You walk into the interview room and try and gauge the interviewers.

Then one of them asks you a question you know nothing about and you start stuttering as if you didn’t go to school.

You try to crack a joke to lighten up the atmosphere and they start looking at you like you are a joker.

How you wait for a call back after the interview.

When you finally get a call back and they give you the good news, you got the job.
