Hello guys

This is the first time I'm reading thru every post on NL. All of you have really made sense.
I am currently in a worse situation than this.I finished my MSc from a very reputable Institution and a very lucrative course in the UK.I belong to the class of people that proceeded for MSc immediately after NYSC without any experience.In the course of my MSc studies, I applied to quite a number of Foreign companies even outside the UK. I got through to the interviews stage and even assessment centre for a few of them.
The very first oil company I almost clinched turned me down because they had to consider the scottish guy who was equally as good.
The second oil company turned me down because of my lack of experience even though I got to the final stage (I wondered why they got me through in the first place).
The first 2 above were during my MSc. After my MSc, I got 2 more interviews with another two top multinational oil company, the first the NOC in Malaysia and the second Danish Oil company. The two also turned me down on the grounds of NO experience.
Even though they all agreed that I am academically very sound, the other non-academic factors were still very much force.

After my MSc, I applied for the post study visa which they refused to give me based on no grounds as far as I'm concerned. As I write, I'm in naija still searching for job since my visa expired immediately I got their heart-breaking reply about the visa refusal. I had to take off from that country immediately unorganized since I didn't want to bar myself forever from entering the UK again.

Things appear really rough for me right about now but I know ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD.
I know God is not silent to my situation but rather, He is ordering my steps,

I have made up my mind to do the best I can do whether it is writing tests with the 40000 graduates or otherwise. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I WILL SHARE MY TESTIMONY SOON.

God may rest as He did on the seventh day of creation BUT He never sleeps.

Cheers guy.

@missy_B

you look hot, can we meet?

amstel:

How long have you been seeing her?

Close to five months now.

Hello house,

Please, I'll like an advice on what cheap and valuable gift I can buy for my GF which u think she'll appreciate.I'm actually still looking for job and right now I'm so broke and her birthday is just few days away.

I really don't even know who to borrow from right now. She understands the fact that I'm so broke but I'm don't feel too good about not buying any gift for her birthday.

Please, girls,what would u expect from your BF if he were in my situation?
and guys, what would you do if u were in my shoes?

Thanks for your help.

@limuel

I really wish you knew who I am. Infact, that's one of the reasons why she likes me.She knows me very well and even getting to know some family members and friends of mine.

The day I wanted to call it off because of the pressures, I couldn't just do that coz it was like I should commit suicide.

For me, what attracted me to her was actually her smiles.I later discovered that she looks even much better when she frowns

She's honest
She's a Doctor
She's understanding

It might interest you to know that she's an Ibo chic.

Mind you, I'm not yet rich but very soon,I will eventually.

Hey Poster,

You reminded me of me and my bf back in those days when we first started dating.

Ok, Ive been frustrated as well before because my bf is broke and I have been supporting him financially for quite some time so heres the thing.

What you can do:-
* Give her your main objective and tell her what do you plan to do which will make her feel a slight relief:-
E.g.: 1) U seeking a job (what job, which job, where is the job and so on)
2) Your future goals and plans (it can be an estimated one to ensure her that you are a dependable man)
3) Tell her how serious you are in this relationship
4) Give her an estimated time frame on how long shall she wait. Make sure its not that long and also not too short
in order for you to keep to your promise and to fulfill both your needs. Make sure you keep to your words oooo. .
* Tell her that all you are seeking for in her is trust, faith, support and a little prayer for blessings

As for her. . . well. . . Hmmm. . . She has to figure it out for herself because to be honest, it takes two hands to clap. Its not just you or its not just her doing all the hard work. It does not work out that way.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
Wow, This is actually what have been sustaining our relationship.I tell her virtually everything thing about my plans and how I'm progressing. It puts her into a comfortable zone which runs out after sometimes.

I really appreciate your advice.

More piece of advice are welcome.

Hello house,

please i have a very good friend who loves me so much but she just likes to complain most times. Currently i do not have a job but very sure i'll get one very soon. She's just abt. 28yrs but i'm older than her by about 5months. She doesn't really hide the fact from me that there r fully employed guys after her for instant marriage if she just says yes to them.

I'm really scared of losing her because she's been a source of strength to me. Although i've not met any of her family members but she told her mother about me sometimes ago. The mother thinks I'll make an ideal husband for her and encouraged her to go on with me.

We don't see each other frequently anymore compared to when we started although we can talk on phone for an average of about 5 times a day.
THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT SHE THINKS SHE'S PUTTING ME UNDER PRESSURE BUT I'VE ALWAYS TOLD HER THAT SHE ISN'T. SHE LOVES ME, SHE BELIEVES IN ME SO MUCH BUT SHE'S SCARED OF HERSELF STILL BEING SINGLE BY 30.

ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT SHE PLAYS PRANKS WITH ME THAT SHE CAN'T CONTINUE BUT ONLY TO SAY SHE'S SORRY.I'M REALLY NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE JOKES.

PLEASE,I LOVE HER SO MUCH TO WANT TO GET MARRIED TO HER.
WHAT DO I DO?

THANKS IN ANTICIPATION FOR YOUR ADVICE.

our defence is good

easy on the lang. babe,

Holakunle, God has really favoured you and this is just the beginning, Congratulations brother.

alex406:

God is always wonderful,he only allow us to face some kind of temptation in order to strengthen our faith in him.I thank God for your.

Alex, I strongly agree with you because I am currently undergoing trials despite the prospects I 've got. But I know God will still see me through. I will share my story when my prayers are answered. You'll all want to hear.

Carder:

You want to be an European citizen?

You want to work and live in Europe legal?

If you really want than contact us. It is possible! Please notice: only single persons not married people!

How will that happen? at this time when most EU countries are crashing economically, for your information,I reside in one of the EU countries.

The Indian guys that arrange fake passports for immigrants here were arrested few days ago. Also, I watched the BBC news(UK EDITION) yesterday and

they reported that many original passports have been stolen but they've made available all the necessary facilities to catch the traitors.

Be warned, and you guys desperate to become EU citizens.

Cheers.

Hope the senators are still going to pass the bill on this devilish act.

Nice one,

To the unmarried ones, try to always let your fiancee know about your weaknesses, be it anger, impatient, irritation, etc.

I think that will help.If he/she gives up, then you know he/she is not meant for you.

Also, remember that God is still in the business of marriage even though Adam and Eve screwed up. I was in a youth programme last weekend and we

were told that there's an appointed time for everyone, not only in marriage but in any issue in this life. You will know when your future partner comes

around provided you believe in God.

To the married ones experiencing problems, you may have married a man/woman meant for another person (i.e. you missed the timing for your own) but

I want you to know that God knows what you are currently going through. Just commit everything into His hands and He will definitely see you through.

God Bless you

I don't see anything bad in sending a thank you note, I think it's another chance of reminding the interviewer about yourelf.
What even stops you from lobbying or being forward?

There's a friend of mine who sent his CV to one of the Managers in ELF.It might interest you to know that the manager replied him and forwarded his CV to the HR dept. Also, there sre guys that have got jobs that way.

My friend, increase your chances a step further than your fellow applicants by your appreciations,

Cheers.

hi chi-baby, u appear to be in manchester?

hw r u all doing?just decided to say hi before going to bed

hiya there,

Congratulation, May God use this as a stepping stone to your higher desires.

Just to add this too:

It has become habitual of me to answer YEAH instead of YES,when I need to answer in the affirmative,and this came to play when I was having the final stage interview/chat with the Chief Operating Officer of the company I'm working now.

In the course of the interview,I said YEAH as a response to a question and my interviewer,the company's COO corrected me that yeah was a casual slang and that I should not say that to her again. I said: Sorry,Thank you,a nd the interview continued.

Reflexively, few minutes after,before the interview ended, I still said yeah to her. Immediately, I retracted it and said 'I'm sorry'. She understood that I was used to it and repeating the same thing just few minutes after being corrected was something almost beyond my control and she didn't say anything this time around and the interview continued. Well, I got the job, but that incident was enough to disqualify me if it were another interviewer.

Another common word that has become habitual to many of us are:
-saying 'sha' as in 'I went there sha' or 'I sha went there'
-saying 'abi' as in 'abi I should not do it?', meant to mean 'Or shouldn't i do it?'

Although neither abi nor sha appears in my own oral communication,I'm too used to yeah and i'm working on stopping it.


Please take note of these as they count in oral interviews.

I've fallen into that trap many a time. I think we're watching too many movies, Thanks for this topic guys.
