I remember being invited for an interview in Victoria island, the advert stated “A very irresistible offer”

I was hyper excited! Wore my favorite fit. The reception was exceptional! I said to myself “Mojirade oti arrive”

I got there so early, about extra 1hr b4 the time because Lagos traffic, to avoid shalaye...

After waiting for about 30mins at the reception, a young man in his mid 30’s I presume, approached me and told me to come with him.

So I was taken to a quiet room and offered a seat.

5mins later the interview started,,,

A *Doctor later came in to interview me* the man earlier was the *HR*
So I a Theatre Nurse, was being interviewed by a Doctor & HR. They both confirmed I seem really experienced...

Anyway, time to discuss the *irresistible offer*

So the Doctor asked me, how soon are you willing to start, I said i was free at the moment, so the coming week would be fine.

And then she asked how much I’d like them to pay me *

Firstly, I asked them what the shift was like, she said 5/7 12hrs

Asked them their own offer*

And then the HR said; 75k

I almost screamed* Are you mad*

But calmly asked, eventho he could read the disgust on my face; 75k? For 5/7 12hours! I told him my offer, 180k

He replied me with, even the oldest nurse here with 8years experience is not earning that.

Then they started the; you’re going to learn a lot here, bla bla bla.

He asked if that was my final? I said they can call me back if they can offer anything above 140k.

Well, I’m still waiting for their call 😂

Dear employers, when recruiting for any Nursing post, let a Senior Nurse do the interview, with support from the hospital Manager maybe.

I don’t think it’s right having the HR/MD on the interview team. Those people always hating and spewing trash.
