Job Politics sef!

Your qualification is one thing,your tribe, connections and maybe family name is another. These past few months have been tough for me,considering the fact that I am a young corper coming into the corporate world. My lack of working experience is minus but I never knew my name would be too.
I have been applying for numerous jobs...the competition out there is not easy but I must succeed.I finally got a chance for an interview at a Lagos based company with branches in different parts of the country (I am a Nigerian).My happiness knew no bounds,I felt that my time had come and that I was going to make the best of this oppurtunity I had,I was going to prove myself and earn respect from my family but as the saying goes "Man proposes,God disposes". My interview was very successful.I was a hundred percent sure of getting this job but just a little thing made me lose it...My surname.Did I tell you that my family name backs up some really good luxury companies in the country? Now you know! But my family name is not me...or do I say that I am "Me" not my surname? I just wanted a job like every other young corper.What makes me different from them...NOTHING! People cry of being prejudiced,not having connections et al. My cry is for people to see the real me. I am just a hustler like everyone else. Give me a chance...I need it too,I need to prove myself.
