then the question becomes, how do people measure values especially the employers. Some people may want to say that those who use more strength, are out in the field, do all the dirty stuff are the ones doing the job, but it's wrong, I feel that was what that my temporary CEO had in mind, thinking that the person whom he calls to say "go and get me this and that" is the one doing more work that was why he wanted to exploit me by saying I should manage the department and put up a structure forgetting that being a manager or a supervisor requires more of experience, attitude, years of followership, brain work, emotional intelligence, tact and will, possession of certain soft skills, certifications and other trainings that energy and Waka-waka cannot fetch you, it goes beyond being there to run errands, it about being creative and bringing ideas that would move the organization forward, having the professional ability to manage risks and mitigate challenges and all these do not have anything to do with strength or availability.

Most jobs require technical and skill based interviews ,it'd because applicants have learned to about their capacity hence the need for competency based testing , yet applicants now think interviewers are stealing their ideas or using them to do their work. Jokers.
Is the stress really worth it?, You think they can't get proposals or call for ideas in and pay those people off, or is it the days to one week test that generate ideas that changes a business ?.. if the ideas were so great or you have all it takes. Why don't you they open their open businesses or become consultants

Ofadaman:



In every work place, and most interviews with reputable companies, you are required to sign an NDA to help protect both the applicant and the employer (prospective included). It takes a smart applicant to not divulge sensitive info about his current employer , I once interviewed someone for a data job and without much questions he already divulged sensitive info about his current employer, we never took him for the job.
If you divulge sensitive info and ideas, how do you expect the employer to take someone like that seriously, when they don't know when to not cross the line. A data person that should know about data protection singing like a bird because he wants to land a job.

We must understand that once you have upskilled both in skill, experiences and exposure/politics, you won't have the patience to attend interviews of unprofessional companies and you can easily walk out of processes that makes no sense.

Don't mention me, then become aggressive.

Am I spoiling market for you or you are ONE of those people WHO does this on LinkedIn for DIFFERENT COMPANIES?

Your aggressiveness gives you away.

Everyone reading this. DON'T FALL FOR THESE COMPANIES SCAM. THEY ARE PLENTY ON LINKEDIN.

Think about it, what am I to gain coming here WARNING YOU ABOUT COMPANIES WHO ARE OUT TO SCAM YOU.

After this incident, I doubled checked every so called company on LINKEDIN.

A WORD IS TRULY ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!!!

Plus, don't quote me aggressively next time; learn some manners.

Dear Applicants,

Do you know that there is a new trend with companies especially these small scale "One man businesses"

Companies schedule interviews with people they have no intention hiring, They take advantage of frustrated job seekers, ask them questions usually around business development to steal their ideas.

Job seekers who went through pain or spent a lot, some even borrowed to arrive at the interview venue.

This is very wrong, NLC should look into this exploitation

Most Nigerian jobs posted on LinkedIn are fake, companies do this to create publicity and a faux appearance of growth,

Applicants beware!!

If you ever attend an interview like this, please visit this post and tag the company.

Happened to me.

Don't listen to people here trying to tell you otherwise or that it doesn't happen. The OP is very right.

You see, LinkedIn, you need to be very careful. I got an invite to build a Financial Model from a company that looked very legit.

I spent all my energy, through the weekend building this financial model, then proceeded to submit.

Till date, nothing they refused to acknowledge my mail,even when I sent reminders. They also called me with a number, when I called the number it was switched off.

You need to do your due diligence on LinkedIn and be very careful with companies posting certain kind of jobs. DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE.

fawaz050:


I see you just don't want to agree with other people's submissions. Anyway, it was an analyst role and doesn't require that much competency.

Second, they were other red flags that were noted.

If you still don't agree with OP. Then I can only wish you well.

All of these Children that will be forming ITK.

1) Here's the Original post, And it was specific to JOB APPLICANTS




2) Here's your unconnected post, where you did not apply for a Job, but were a VENDOR TO A COMPANY, and you claimed they played a fast one on you



I SAID, AND I REPEAT:

If you're sure it happened to you, then post the name of the company. If E sure for you, post am.

Plus you are not an applicant. you are a vendor. You didnt do due diligence. Na you f.up... assuming it happened.

As usual, you chose to resort to insults rather than address the issue at hand.

You were not an Applicant, you were a vendor. You didn't do your due diligence and the Company took advantage. Plus, I don't believe that it even happened. You're just looking for sympathy and CLout. If not, Post the NAme of the company that defrauded you. Publicly shame them if truly they did you wrong.

If not just shut up and sit down

dmaze:
You dont know me, have never met me.

I spoke on my experience butressing what the Op said and you are saying what again

I truly hope you are NOT one of those companies or individuals scamming people on LinkedIn. If you are then know this: Your cup would run full very soon.

I would NOT reply your childish RANTS again because it seems you are a HIGHLY DECEPTIVE individual intent on causing PROBLEMS.

WHAT IS interesting? These CHILDISH RANTS of yours truly says something is NOT RIGHT with you.

PS: I don't do, have never done vendorship or whatever nonsense you have written; I am an employee.

Take your NASTY attitude and SCAM on LinkedIn(if you do this, I truly feel sorry for you, your days are truly numbered) somewhere else.

Have a nice life.

So, instead of addressing the issue, you resort to Character assassination?

In this day and age, and with all the resources available to you, You could not do a basic search to find out who you're talking to?

You are a disgrace to the Idiots that employed you, and a disgrace to the ones that gave birth to you.

And this Oloriburuku had the guts to use "Childish Rants" to describe the Education I'm giving him for free? Aye boy yi ma baaje ni!


You choose to sidestep the issue, to acknowledge that
1) You were derailing the post
2) Your "purported" experience is fake

and instead of addressing that, you choose to destroy my own person, labour and Character? Koni da fun E.


In case amnesia is worrying you, here is a screenshot of the post again.

And if you quote me for insults, instead of addressing the issue, I WILL FIND YOU and destroy the pitiful life you think you have.

erico2k2:

There is nothing like the narrative you described above, upgrade yourself in whatever field you are into and see how you get rushed. If you think its easy to open a business and employ people who aint realistic, try open one yourself.
