Betty Irabor & a broke unemployed man with two degrees

Betty Irabor

Nigerian columnist, philanthropist, writer, publisher and founder of Genevieve magazine, Betty Irabor, has taken to her social media page to narrate an experience she had with a broke jobseeker.

She hinted that the man had the qualification for the job but when her Human Resources officer reached out to him, he denied applying for a job but when he later discovered it was from her (Betty Irabor), he tried to fix an interview.

Her tweet reads ;

A guy reached out to me..2 degrees, jobless, broke. I askd HR to invite him for interv without disclosing my identity. HR sent guy a mail; guy didn’t respond. HR calld him but guy said he didn’t apply for a job & didn’t turn up 4 interview. Now he knows it’s me & wants an interview

Social media users were divided after Ms. Irabor shared her story. Some felt the young man was justified in being cautious because of the rate at which people are scammed while looking for jobs, especially as the person didn’t mention that it was Ms. Irabor who provided his contact. Others said the man wasn’t thorough enough and should have asked more questions and done his research.
