How We Survived Unemployment, Fake Job Scams And Poverty by Dimaya: 1:16pm 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. |
