  • These Are the Only Jobs That Should Require More Than Two Interview Stages

    If you鈥檙e not the president of Nigeria, Wole Soyinka鈥檚 barber or these other professions, there鈥檚 no point in having more than two interview stages for a job.

    Written By:

    Have you ever applied for a job as say, a writer or product designer, and the company says you have to first submit your CV and then portfolio before jumping through six interview stages that involve tests, meeting with executives and so much more wahala? Because of ordinary writing or Figma? This needs to stop. 

    These are the only jobs, as far as Nigeria is concerned, that should require more than two interview stages.

    President

    It鈥檚 not like we鈥檙e saying Bubu is an incompetent president o, but we鈥檙e certain he didn鈥檛 go through any interview stages. They just gave the whole country paper and ink, and whoever鈥檚 name came out as most voted was crowned Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic. With the results we鈥檙e seeing, something is wrong with that hiring process, abi what do you think?

    The person flying you to your japa destination

    You see the pilots flying from Lagos to Winnipeg? Please let them study to show themselves approved. Let it not be that it鈥檚 when it鈥檚 someone鈥檚 turn to japa that the pilot now didn鈥檛 know road again. May our enemies not see our underwear. 

    Wole Soyinka’s barber

    Wole Soyinka’s hair itself is a national treasure. Whoever is the barber in charge of it needs to know this and treat it with respect. But it seems like Wole Soyinka already knows this, and his hair is in good hands

    People that do herbal mixtures

    As a person who likes your life, why would you drink a 鈥渉erbal mixture鈥 advertised to cure COVID and cancer while making you the richest person in the world? And you bought for 鈧120 o at Iyana Ipaja. Why?聽

    The person in charge of food at owambes

    You need someone who鈥檒l be able to look your guests in the eye and say food has finished while sitting on one jumbo cooler of untouched jollof rice and chicken. It requires a high level of skill and witchcraft that many do not possess. 

    Mechanics

    If you鈥檙e ready to buy AC compressor for 鈧120k three times a year, then sure, go ahead and pick any roadside mechanic and let them do things to your car. A smart car owner would request the MIT engineering certificate of his potential mechanic to avoid unnecessary billing. 

    Your wedding makeup artist

    My sister in Christ, you have only one wedding. Imagine your makeup artist鈥 fucks up. God forbid o. 

    Amala bukka people 

    These are the things the government needs to take seriously. Imagine someone opening a bukka for amala, and it鈥檚 bad amala they鈥檙e selling. The butterfly effect could topple governments. Bad amala equals bad stomachs equals bad moods equals angry people equals wars, and so on. 

    Intro-tech teachers 

    At the first stage, they need to prove that they can actually teach intro-tech. The next stage is a test of their flogging abilities. Then the final stage is finding out if they have a happy life. Of course, as a rule, intro-tech teachers have to be sadistic men who derive pleasure in flogging students like their lives depend on it. 

    Government hospital nurses

    You can鈥檛 just hire any nursing school graduate to work at a government hospital. There are requirements. Do they like gossip? Is their name Titi? Are they rude and wicked to all and sundry? These are the issues. 

    Tattoo artists

    If you don鈥檛 verify that a tattoo artist knows their onions and they do irreversible nonsense on your skin, there鈥檚 only one person to blame: you.
