I received an email invite for a management trainee position I applied with an Insurance Firm.

Even though I never heard of the company prior to my application, they had a standardised website so I was convinced it was genuine. According to their about page, they were based in Lekki and specialised in brokerage services.

I had mixed feelings when I arrived the venue because the premises of the address didn't depict the image of a corporate organisation and there was a guesthouse signpost at the gate rather than the name of the insurance firm. I didn't want my 5:30am- 3MB trip to be in vain so I asked a guy hovering around the security post if this was **** Insurance Brokerage Firm and he said no.

I hissed angrily and walked a considerable distance from the gate only for the security personnel to run after me to say I was in the right place if I was scheduled for an interview.

I demanded to know why the display of ignorance earlier but he apologised and led me through a dark staircase, inside a maze like building.
Well, I didn't want to end up as an ingredient for ritual purposes so I was reluctant to pass through a door he showed to me.

"You go in first!" I said to him.

"Haba! You dey fear?"

"You think I want to die because of a job? Why I am the only candidate for a so called massive graduate recruitment if this is real?"

He sighed and opened the door ajar and I saw seven people inside, one lady and six guys. The guys were wearing suit/tie and their christmas shoes as usual.

I don't mean to ridicule anyone but I have attended all manner of deadlock interviews that I'd rather wear a suit to a night club than waste it on an interview. Literally, give me a pyjamas and I'm good to go.

Inside the room, there were several white plastic chairs. My first instinct was, 'So this GNLD people have finally gotten a Lekki branch office for their scam lectures.' Nevertheless, I took my seat beside the lady and looked around the mini hall. There was a band set in one corner and JESUS IS LORD was boldly written on the four sides of wall.

The guys were studying interview past questions from their phones while the lady was fervently praying and speaking in tongues. I don't know if the church environment was responsible for her countenance or if her unemployment state was worse than mine but her prayers were intimidating so I bowed my head slightly and prayed aloud in my native language.

When I raised my head up, a guy came in and started distributing question booklets to us. Then he excused himself and said we had thirty minutes to answer all questions and they are CCTV cameras in the room so cheating was highly prohibited. This was a dark room with zero signs of electricity. *sigh*

Thanks to my mobile browser, I answered all questions correctly while other candidates, particularly the prayer warrior stared at me in reproach. The examiner returned for our booklets in exact thirty minutes and said he was going to call each of us for a one on one session in a short while, beginning from the ladies.

I was the first.

He took me to a haggard looking office downstairs where I met two other young guys. One was busying on a computer while the other one was eating ofada rice with beans. There was a large portrait on the wall and while I waited, I googled the name written on the photograph and found out he is the CEO of **** group of companies dealing in real estate, tourism, hospitality and the latest, the insurance business.

Can you imagine?

I would later realise downstairs is a guesthouse, the left wing upstairs is a church, the right wing upstairs is a buka area and the left wing downstairs, the insurance office, all of which formed **** group of companies.

The first question I was asked after I introduced myself was how much value in Naira can I bring in a month if I am made a client officer. I said, "I thought this was a management trainee position."

The beans guys said no, that they are a one month old company, trying to grow their clientele base and the client officer died two weeks ago and the CEO demanded they replace him with three female client officers ASAP.

I was pissed at the fact that they made it seem like I applied with the death certificate of their late colleague. I said I can only answer that question when I know my salary details. He said N10000 for every one million naira I bring in and if I am able to hit that target weekly, N40000 is guaranteed compensation every month's end. I just grabbed my bag and thanked them for inviting me.

Great story @naijasinglegirl. This is your second "job offer" story. Your blog never dey pay you?

Op I really enjoyed your story wallahi... I just wished it never ended...

But come on... Somewhere in your comment, you said the company is a Charge and bail insurance firm, meaning they are actually legit ba?
Contradictory to this, you termed the company a "419 company" in the title of this thread... Now which one do we believe? 419 or legit?

Well unless this job story isn't real and u just made up the whole sh*t to sell your blog

Naijasinglegirl

I don't believe your stories are real. I have my personal reasons- I recommended you for an interview in an organisation but I discovered that you didn't show up despite receiving e-mails, text message and calls from this company. I loved your write-ups and believed that you really needed a job, only for me to discover that they are all lies.

If this is the path you have chosen, I wish you well. But, I think you should move on to something more realistic because I don't see any longevity in write-ups centred around unemployment and singleness, your fans will get bored someday. I am already.

This is my piece of advice to you. Please put a caveat on these write-ups so that some of us will stop pitying your state of unemployment and stop recommending you to prospective employers.

Another one hmm
