Here's How They Escaped Unemployment, Fake Job Scams And Poverty by Zigzagman: 7:28pm On Jul 25, 2023 |
When Yemi, 27, a recent biochemistry graduate was laid off in February of the covid 19 crisis, he was still reading motivational books. What he didn't realize was that he was going to spend the next 6 to 12 months applying for a new job. Everyday threafter, Yemi woke up at 6am, brushed his teeth, took his bath and ate a light breakfast of eggs and sliced bread. At 8am, he would dutifully log into job portals (indeed, my jobmag etc) and proceed to read at least 200 calls for applications. From 9am till 9pm, he would format his CV to each application's call and draft a quick cover letter. At the day's end, he would have sent out 40 job applications. By August, Yemi had applied for over five thousand jobs and only got two invitations to interview. The first was a marketing job. The second was a supervisor position with a restaurant chain in Lagos. Over 4000 people showed up for the interview meant to hire just three supervisors. The role paid 60,000 naira per month with work hours being 6:30 mornings till 9:30 at night, Monday's till Saturday. In this video: the craziest job stories you've never heard, Yemi and 14 other recent Nigerian graduates share their hilarious, thought-provoking experiences applying for jobs, dodging job scams, escaping kidnappers, receiving low-ball offers and managing the insults/frustrations from family members when you're jobless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdbg7Xqg1cQ If you're a job-seeker, you're not alone. Please watch the video, laugh a little, and subscribe to the channel. It will get better. 4 Likes |

There is this overwhelming joy you get when you block a scammer and expose him or her. The feeling is thrilling. I don't tolerate them anywhere near me or my job page where I post genuine jobs daily. Modified: You can check here anytime https:///184037139835240/ and make the right selection P/s: All my jobs are free. Don't pay anyone for one 1 Like |

Nothing like being self employed. But shine your eyes. Not all that glitters is gold. Always demand for proof of earnings before learning or going for any money making opportunity to avoid wasting time and money. 3 Likes |

The easiest thing to do is to claim to come from the north. OR Ask Igbos how after near annihilation they bounced back and are thriving in business. Please dont rely on skull mining for money. A skull is not a mineral resource 2 Likes |
