Did You Receive a Message from InCallNG located at 634A Adeyemo Alakija Victoria Island, Lagos. Well, here's what you need to know.
A Nairalander shared his story. Read below:
I got a message from InCallNG below on Tuesday 21st June 2016.
Hi *****, sometime ago; you applied for the position of customer service. Our clients are in need of the services of well trained customer service with salary up to 80K-120K monthly. Do NOT call if your expectations exceed this. Call Miss Gina 014407992 from 9am-5:30pm to determine eligibility.
I followed up by calling the number, and was asked to text my name and location to 09085690174 that i would receive information regarding the company's address before the end of the day for interview next day. They followed up by sending me a text from Gina:
Based our earlier discussion on phone, you are invited for an initial assessment with Miss Gina on Wednesday June 22. Bring an updated copy of your CV and passport photo, dress professionally as first impression matters. Come to Plot 634A, Adeyemo Alakija St,Victoria Island Lagos. 12pm.
On reaching the venue, i met some other job seekers. Waited for about 3hrs before it got to my turn. The interviewer asked me if i am currently employed, i said no. She started saying that they usually train people before giving them jobs and the training is not free. That for a 3day training it's 25k and for a 2weeks training it's 45k without certificate but if a candidate desires to get a cert he pays an xtra 15k.
I asked her the company they recruit for and she said its not their company policy to disclose. That they recruit for multinationals.
I asked her the difference between the trainings and she said 45k training gives a higher pay job than 25k training.
I asked her the deadline for payment, she said same day. That even if you are not with full payment, one can show interest by paying any amount to fill their form.
I asked her if they have a website/flier so i could convince someone to pay for me and she said NO but suggested she spoke with him.
They have POS
They usually opened a back door for exit after their 'interview'
Now my question is why call someone for an interview telling him to dress formal and end up telling him about a training he has done before?
Here's what other people had to say:
- Where is the authority when you need them most. Foolish people!
Someone wey never chop dey look for job, the foolish people are talking
about 45k for yeye training. I beg who training help.
No be person wey get work they do training. Nigeria is sick. We need a Doctor.
- Na wa. Cutting corners. No website, yet you recruit for multinationals.
The money paid for training determines the company that one can work
for. Danger signs
- They know that there are lots of job seekers out there desperate to get a job. So, they capitalize on that to swindle money out of them. They are fraudsters who would milk anxious job seekers and disappear into the thin air. Not different from some companies who bring out bogus recruitment where applicants buy scratch cards only for none to be employed. #7000 multiplied by 10000 applicants gives #70million. We need divine help ASAP in this country.
