Job hunting/Recruitment and selection processes in our dear country Nigeria (part3)

As I went back to my hotel I could not eat,sleep or think straight. I kept on having negative imaginations and thoughts, I could not hold it any longer I picked up my bible to read some psalms and then prayed, but I was still restless I could not wait to hear from Mr Dapo.

I set my alarm for 8am, as soon as it rang "I could not believe I was awake through out the night".

I waited patiently for 10am so I could call Mr Dapo, but it felt like it was taking forever "whew" finally it was quarter to 10. I picked up my phone, dialled his number and it immediately connected, it rang once and he picked up. We exchanged greetings and I quickly asked him what the situation was since the phone network was so poor the previous night. 

He giggled and said to me "oh dear I forgot to tell you to drop your reference contact details" ......(sigh) at that moment I heard his words I felt a cool shiver flush through my spine and I took a deep breath of relief. 

I quickly mentioned to him that I will come to the office ASAP to do that and he said "Clara don't bother just send me an email I will text u my email address". What a sigh of relieve.... Saying to myself; "atleast saves me the transport fare and stress of traffic". 

We greeted our good byes and he wished me a safe trip back home.As soon as I dropped the phone the next thing I did was to order for food and a chilled bottle of soda......

HR suggestions/ Recommendations

: As a qualified HR personnel make sure you have a note pad or iPad  where all the questions and suggestions you want to give the applicant is directly Infront of you on your desk, this saves the applicant from coming back to your office another time to ask questions. 

: Make sure your telephone number and email address comes very handy when responding to applicants or immediately after finishing an interview, this is necessary for follow up interviews.

: If you promise to send an applicant an email or a give a call please do keep to your promise that is professionalism in HR regardless of how busy your schedule may be keeping to promises when it has to do with employment matters is a sign of good practice.
