60K Job Offer after 5,000 Applications and 2 Interviews | What Would YOU do? by Dimaya: 12:50pm On Jul 20, 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. 14 Likes 1 Share |

I laugh when I see people defending the present Nigerian government with all the damage they are busy doing and saying things like do you know how much fuel is in America or Canada? Do you know the amount of tax they pay? The question to ask them back is do you know how much minimum wage is in those countries too? Do you know how good their taxes paid work for them ? Do you know the low unemployment rates in those countries? I might write a book about Africa then concentrate on Nigeria specifically, these past few of years of my Nigerian experience I feel kind of showed me why Africa didn't develop as fast as how the western world developed till they came and started colonizing Africa, even till date see what some people here are using as yardstick to pick their leaders, they use tribe, religion, bribery propaganda and so on... 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Just about 10 years ago. . Entry level jobs in intercontinental bank, diamond bank, GT Bank, Virgin Nigeria, Unilever was as high as #185,000 - #200,000 after training schools. Those days, an entry level staff could easily buy a very 2nd-hand or cheap brand new car. . Today, most entry level jobs are contractual and the pay is around #70,000. . In a hyping inflation besieged economy. Today. . Most of them can't even pay house rent. How did we get ourselves to this level? 62 Likes 6 Shares |

I can never work for anybody to earn peanut. I've always told myself that I'll be a creator of something and will rather employ people instead. It's when you don't realize your worth and capabilities, that's when you settle for less. I remember when Dinero told me back in 2017 "Mitchell, I can never work for someone to get paid 12 times in a year" Dinero now has a Benz, Ferrari and is now living outside Nigeria with multiple assets to his name. I'll recommend this few books I've read to help build your mindset and mentality (don't joke with it) 1. 48 laws of power by Robert Greene 2. Rich dad poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki 3. One Truth, One Law: I Am, I Create By Erin Werley 4. Declutter your mind by SJ Scott. 5. Do it today by Darius Foroux 6. The psychology of money by Morgan Housel These are the ones I have in PDF format and I'm not charging anybody for it. The ones I have as hard copy aren't listed here since it will be hard for you guys to get it. Just helping those that want to help themselves. 23 Likes 3 Shares |
