Lady gets job after claiming to have done para military service

The interviewer, who was unfamiliar with the Nigerian context of NYSC was taken aback by Levyngrey’s statement.

Instead of recognising that she was referring to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), the interviewer showered her with compliments, assuming she had completed a significant and impressive paramilitary service.

While the interviewer believed she had accomplished something remarkable, Levyngrey knew it was simply her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) service, a mandatory program for Nigerian graduates.

She silently chuckled, appreciating the unintentional praise she received. Levyngrey secured the job because she served to her country.

Netizens promise to try the method in subsequent interviews

Netizens flooded the comments section, expressing their amusement over the incident.

Many mentioned that they would use a similar tactic in their future interviews, hoping to receive unexpected praise and compliments.

Company cleaner recommends son who just finished NYSC

Meanwhile, THETALK.NG previously reported that a cleaner recommended her son for a job where she works, and he got hired. The son had just completed the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The cleaner saw the job opening and thought to recommend her son.

Her son attended the interview and did the administered test. He passed all the stages. It was a moment of joy when the young man got his appointment letter in the presence of his mother. The mother was full of smiles when she saw that her son got the job. The moment was captured by a person who works in the same company. It was later reposted on Twitter by African Facts Zone.

A caption on the photo reads: “This cleaner in our office who recommended her son (just completed NYSC) for an opening. He passed the test and interviews and just got his appointment letter. You need to see how wide her smile is. God bless our mothers.”
