• A Nigerian job seeker shared a humorous experience from a failed job interview.
• The job interview took a turn for the worse, diminishing his chances of getting hired.
• The unexpected twist came when the interviewer entered with a takeaway meal.

A Nigerian job seeker has shared a funny story of how a failed job interview surprisingly turned into a free lunch.

Identified on X as @Omolomo_o, he narrated that he attended a job interview that quickly began to go downhill. Realising his chances of securing the position were slim, he found a silver lining when the interviewer walked in carrying a takeaway meal.

According to him, the boss, out of courtesy, invited everyone present to share the food. Without hesitation, he washed his hands and joined in, enjoying the amala and ewedu.

“I remember going for a job interview. The boss walked in with food in a takeaway plastic and, out of courtesy, said, ‘Come and eat’ to everyone. I stood up, washed my hands, and joined him to eat the amala he bought. He let me eat, but I knew that was my first and last day there. I don see as the interview dey go, I no get any chances of getting employed and I came on empty stomach. I can’t lose both ways, please,” he recounted.

His lighthearted confession amused many social media users, who applauded his honesty and humorous approach to a disappointing situation.
