The lead trainer at Digital Witch Support Team, Ekwutosi C Okeh AdaNsukka, shared on Facebook the mail the job seeker received notifying him of his mistake.

In the mail, the recruiting company informed Alex they had decided to move on with another candidate and wished him well in his future endeavours.

"Village people... this is why I always tell Digital Witch students to name their documents appropriately next time, na nood them go attach," Ekwutosi wrote.
