The Day I Went For An Interview 2 – JACINTA CHINEMEREM
Story storrrrrrrrrry
………….. We didn’t know he was the MD and that our interview has begun
Cont..
So after the MD had taken his seat,,,,
That same minute,NEPA seized their lights or should I say, they were the ones that seized the light and put off the fans and Air condition we were enjoying, leaving only solar lights on.
Everywhere became scruffy and hot. Though we didn’t really feel the hotness that instant. It was coming gradually.
About thirty minutes later, the sun started becoming very harsh, everybody began to feel the hotness in great pressure. We all started sweat like Christmas goat including the MD
Nobody complained. Small time, the MD will stand up and go to the receptionist; small time again, he will stand up and go to the rest room and come back. We all still remained calm until it was fifteen minutes pass eleven o’clock and the interview have not still started
“What is happening nah?” The man who was the second to come lamented. We all murmured. Some hissed while some mumbled some inaudible comments.
“I’ve been here since seven o’clock” The man said again.
“Me, I’ve started feeling hungry” The lady who was the first to come said.
“Look at how they just kept us under this hot place” The MD said.
“Don’t mind them. They just left us here unattended as if we don’t have jobs to do” The guy dressed in an expensive suit spoke
“Obviously, we don’t have jobs kwanu” I intruded.
The receptionist apologised and everyone because calm again.
Few minutes later, a man dressed on a grey, well starched and ironed senator clothe walk passed us. He was accompanied be a young guy who carried a briefcase which I assumed was belonging to him.
The two receptionist ladies greeted him “welcome sir!” And all of us, the job seekers also greeted him “welcome sir”.
We were happy that the Boss had finally arrive and that our interview will soon begin. But after twenty minutes, nobody was called in for an interview
“My brother, what is going on here? It’s like this people wants heat to finish us ooh” The guy on suit asked the MD not knowing who he was. We all didn’t know he was the MD shaa
“See, receptionist what is going on? Why are you people keeping us here? A man strayed his eyes towards the receptionist and asked.
“You people just off fan, off AC say make heat kill us nah” The guy on suit said.
Everybody started lamenting. We were in eight number, including THE MD. Three of us were lamenting but we weren’t really speaking out loud and not often but the remaining five were really ranting high; saying all manner of things to the receptionist
“If you people don’t want to give us job; you should tell us nah”
“What type of useless thing is this? You people are just wasting somebody’s time here”
“You people are not coordinated at all”
The MD was also ranting high. Infact, he was the one that kept pushing out words that made the other four to rant more.
TO CUT THE LONG STORY SHORT
They finally ushered all of us into their meeting room and asked us to have a seat as if we were members of their board meeting.
The MD who had been pretending to be among us, the job seekers went straight to the seat of the CEO and sat.
We all opened our mouth and eyes surprised to see him seated there.
“The four of you have failed our first and most important test…” He said and pointed out the four men who were ranting with him earlier.
“…You all stated on your CV that you can work under pressure but you couldn’t endure and stay under the small heat that you felt as a result of the fan and Air condition we put off” He added and asked the four men to leave.
The guy dressed in a expensive suit was among them. You can imagine the shock on his face. I pitied him because he probably would have bought that suit for the sake of the interview
That was how their own interview came to an end.
I learned a lesson.
I learnt that sitting under heated room and enduring it even if heat wants to kill you means that you can work under pressure
