On her Facebook page, Omoze shared the question she asked the lady and the unexpected response she got.
Omoze said in her post:
“She appeared online wearing a T-shirt and a hair net. I inquired with a firm tone, 'Do you believe this interview is a joke to you?' She reacted negatively by frowning and logged out, sending an email to withdraw her application. I clarified that withdrawal was unnecessary, as her appearance had already led to an immediate decision.
“She wanted to guilt-trip me about me not being a professional. I addressed the matter immediately. I told her that, given her experience, I expected a higher level of professionalism. Was she attempting to emotionally manipulate me through unprofessional means? Recruitment is a serious business, and I maintain high standards. I maintain being proactive, efficient and zero sentiments from unserious candidates.”
She added:
“I nearly konk her head via my laptop.”
Reactions trail employer’s experience with interviewee

"It's your "gbas gbos" tone that always amuse me. There have been a few candidates, with great-looking CVs, that have attended our virtual interviews with hair bonnets and guys that came up with no shirts or wearing singlets. My question to them is always quite simple: "If we had invited you for a physical interview, would you have come in with a hair bonnet?", "If it were a physical interview, would you come in wearing a singlet (with no shirt)?"
Vera Nwogu said:
"Last year, I was recruiting for the role of Front Desk Officer for an Oil and Gas firm. A girl came for the interview wearing polo gown and Kito sandal. The only reason I gave her a second chance was because she came extremely early. Interview was for 9am, and she was at the office by 6:30pm."
Gladys Ibhafidon said:
"Omo what kind of nonsense is this generation into? You are doing an interview and you wear a T-shirt, added hair net ontop? I am certain it’s a gen z baddie."
Esther L. Udoh said:
"Guilt tripping is now the order of the day. Some people believe in emotional blackmail. It won't work for me never. I like that you didn't fall for that. Well-done Omo."
