My experience at job hunting before I went for post graduate studies taught me that as a minority, to secure a job, I must be good, so do not see these Contents on HR Practice and Nepotism as pride driven.
Today permit me to share my experience with Private Limited Companies.
Firstly, there was this manufacturing company I attended an interview and as usual I came first but the WA Executive Director said it cannot happen. Here again a foreigner from Western Europe overruled him and I was engaged.
Secondly, in another manufacturing concern, I came first at the interview and two powerful WA, an AGM and the Management Consultant had their own candidates, again a foreigner from Western Europe overruled them and I was employed.
Thirdly, a trillion naira holding company conducted an interview through a Consulting firm and my coming first notwithstanding, some BIA individuals said I cannot be taken but a foreigner from Western Europe convinced the chairman of the board and I was hired.
Finally, in another manufacturing company, although I came first at the interview, a WA who did not know jack in HR said I was not good enough for the job because there were anointed candidates. Again, a foreigner from Western Europe came to my rescue and I was employed.
I humbly report here just like the Quoted Companies, two of the companies are dead, one on life support and the last is but a going concern.
Thanks for the impactful write up. I will love to have more of it.
