Gozychuks: When U ask a girl out or trying to be friends with her. And she asks ''What do u do'' and u answer am ''currently job hunting''. Then she loses interest and stops paying u attention sometimes even sees u as good for nothing. That really hurts.


You never tay for market that Na why this one be your issue for this matter.

seagullbabz: Mine is writing a CBT test, and waiting forever for the result, and then Dragnet sends you a text you got 48.21 as scores, and even send like 2 emails and 1 extra text again to buttress their point like you argued its a lie. Then you find out the text came in when some people have even collected their first month pay for the same position.

ABEngine: 1. Friends never mention when the applications were ongoing but will waste no time to publish their locations if you wish to gate crash.
2. Having to suffer the collective fate of being amongst a wrong group during a group interview session.
3. Delaying candidates the entire day, subjecting the to physical and psychological stresses yet expect optimal performance NLNG & NNPC
4. Stampede
5. Job portals making our emails available for SEO marketers and spam mailers at a fee
6. Publishing already filled vacancies for the sake of due process
7. Redundant email links or dead career portals on most companies webpage
8. For the mushroom-like firms with big pay, the gate man doubles as the personnel recruiting officer, if you don't dance to his tune please check the bin
9. Girls run from you like a plague, don't even let em spot your bent heel
10. For indigenous oil companies and few others, its ladies first. Keep that weight appropriately it might just land you the next big job
11. I suffer shaa those years, trying to listen to my lady's heart but she kept paying attention to my purse. Then one day, She left and I paid more attention to the hunt #InAkimbo#

It was fun after all, stories must be told. Be diligent, remain steadfast in prayer and be informed. #ThatsAll

1. Limited amount of jobs or career options. I cant aspire to be the best birds observer in the world or por.n director and make a living of it in Nigeria.
2. The limited jobs are mostly in Lagos, Abuja and ph.
3. The typical Nigerian company does not innovate or reinvent anything.
4. How when you get the job, the company rarely wants to invest in giving you the tools to exceed well at the job.

What y'all are facing is normal, because after the storm comes the sunshine. Most peeps have been searching for a year plus and yet nothing is forthcoming.

Here is what I advice, start small anywhere or somewhere use that as a stepping stone or springboard to the next level. Whinning will not solve the problem, but getting busy will salvage the situation.

Number 5 ehn.
Imagine getting an invitation for a chat with mgt and placing a call to the number and they tell you that it's based on your application on a job portal.

On getting there, they give you paper that you'll write a short test and while you are wondering why a test when the SMS invite says chat, you get the shocker.

It's MLM! MULTILEVEL MARKETING SH* T OF ONE YEYE PRODUCT LIKE THAT.

We nearly beat them up that day o.
