HOW I “FAILED” AN INTERVIEW I PASSED WITH 100% 😂 Back then in my early teaching days, I used to attend job interviews in August just for fun — especially if they had maths exams. I loved it! Give me a maths question, and my brain will start dancing. 😂 So in August 2017, I went to one big school in GRA, Onitsha, Anambra State. I won’t mention the name of the school. The school owner? My brother, that man na another topic! Huge, dark, fierce, and very scary. Even his staff dey shake when he passes. 😅 We were many maths teachers that came for the interview. They gave us maths, English, and general knowledge exams. As a correct maths guru, I smashed that paper like JAMB I’ve done 4 times before. I was so sure I got everything correct — like 100% or even extra 😂. Later that day, I got a message: “Come tomorrow by 7AM for micro-teaching.” I smiled. If you want to see me shine, just give me micro-teaching. I don’t just teach — I act it like drama. 😂 I went the next morning, taught like I was on stage, and impressed everybody. Even the walls were clapping. After the micro-teaching, they told me: “Come tomorrow again by 7AM for final documentation. Come with your certificates.” Next day, I got there by 7:10 AM. Pr0blem. Gateman said, “Oga, you’re late. Go home.” I said, “But I’m not your staff yet na!” He no gree. I pressed small, and one headteacher came. She said: “Just go home and come back tomorrow by 7AM. That’s how we do things here.” I smiled. In my mind I said, “Come back for what? This job I no even wan collect sef.” 😂 Truth is, I was comfortable where I was. I was just going around those days for fun. Plenty time dey my hand that year — childish behavior. I don’t even do that again. 😂 Next day by 12 noon, they called: “We didn’t see you again!” I said: “Ah, I woke up by 8AM, and your time don pass.” 😂 They called again and even texted: “You can come tomorrow anytime you like.” I laughed, then replied: “I’ve gotten somewhere else.”
