I am so depressed. Just got a regret mail from a job test I wrote one month ago. Have waited for it and is just so annoying that it was a regret mail. This is the 6th regret mail I am getting since I started this job search that is job itself. What is really wrong. Despite my good grade from school. I am totally depressed. Can't eat anymore.
Oluwole"s good grade?
Your certificate should be withdrawn

I read your thread about DOB error on your WAEC result. Have you corrected the error? If yes, how did you do it. I have similar error. Although mine is Nov/Dec. Pls. Reply me as soon as you see this. It's very important.

You want to be free from financial bondage. The opportunity is now here. You are a fresh graduate who needs something to be bringing income for you rather than staying at home doing nothing. The opportunity is now here. You are in a work force and need something extra to your income even as a student still in higher institution. The opportunity is now here. Don't forget information is power. Abraham Lincoln said that the greatest form of Ignorance is when someone rejects something he knows nothing about. So please take this advantage and free yourself financially. Send your name and phone number to Mr. Olayemi on 08054855444. Further information will be communicated to those who are interested. Please. This particular information is for those who lives in Oyo state as a whole. Our office is in Ibadan. See you at the top where I live.

Personally, I do know how you feel. Believe in yourself. You are good enough too.
Most of us have got rejection emails too. A friend of mine who has sharp first class got the same, when another friend of mine, who she is far better than, with 2.1 got accepted.
Find out what went wrong restrategise, study up, prepare your mind (Enough prayer can help you do that) and have a very positive mindset. Do not be pessimistic.
Most of the companies use GMAT, GSE, etc. download them and practise as much as you can. It will give you a boost in your confidence (Trust me, six reject mails are enough to make it drop to minimum). It will prepare you as well for the test.
Remember, good grades are not enough. It can grant you access to the test/interview, everything else depends on your smartness, positive attitude and God.

I feel your pain. In a country that before you get a good job as a fresh graduate demands jumping the hurdles of Gmats and the likes.

A few factors might be responsible for the failures

Do you have a decent calculation background ?

Do you have numerous copies of Gmats, Dragnet past questions?

While doing mock sessions on these past questions, do you time yourself to know your efficiency vis-a-vis your scores?

By the grace of God...I have never erred in any aptitude test and I satisfied all these factors

I have numerous soft copies of all these...you can pm me

Can you help me with soft copies? My mail is kaysunnex09@gmail.com. I am in the same situation as the Op

Funny enough, I NEVER got stomped at the job test phase. It was the interviews phase that took sometime to figure out. From experience, all you need to pass job test are:

Pray and have faith: Pray for wisdom. Minimize time with time thieves.
English: Speed reading with > 70% Comprehension and good command of Vocabulary
Arithmetic: Speed Arithmetic
Geometry: Ability to visualize a 2D drawing/image in a 3D plane. This is useful for manipulating those pictures they sometime draw and ask questions
Logic: How to quickly make decision based on information available (Not very common)
Stay Calm: On test day, stop jesting/jisting and getting excited about 30-60min before start. Take deep breadths and smile (externally/internally)

You get materials on the web. What I normally do is to look for materials on these online weeks before the test, print them on A4 (front & back) so that I can practice even when in Public Transport/Waiting Rooms. Take sample tests (repeatedly) with the goal of doing them within shorter time frames and better grades. Yes, with pencil and paper. Repeat after 2-3days of last attempt.

I call the whole process: "SPEEDING UP MY BRAIN/MENTAL PROCESSES!!"

I hope this helps. I will be glad to provide more pointers if you so desire. Preparation for Interviews is a different beast all together.

Whenever u have this kind of experience, it is no more physical battle, u go spiritual through fastin and prayer. Desist frm sin and ask for God's forgiveness so that satan will not use ur sin as an attack mechanism against u and there will be a clear rd for ur prayer to be answered. I wish u goodluck

It is your fault. You allowed certificate and grade to get into your head. You allowed your CV to deceive you. I am sure you have a business you can start with little capital and develop into a conglomerate but, you refuse to do it. Your academic prowess does not deternine financial success. Must you work for somebody else? Some of us want to get out of paid employment(salary) and you are praying to God to get you one. Bone certificate and do some meaningful stuffs with your hands, never mind what some folks would say. Success.

HELLO LADY.

While it is true that tests are not the absolute measure of proficiency...you have to play your part.

Let me tell you my own story....

A young man delivered a dazzling lectures at NYSC Orientation Camp Nkewere LGA of Imo State that changed and determined my passion in life.

He titled the talk “The Jobs Are No More, So Think Entrepreneurship!” I thought, what a great Topic… so I had a tough time battling with rushing thoughts during his ‘sweet’ presentation and at the end I was opportune to ask a question.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]FREE E-Book: 500+ Interview Questions for Grads, Executives & Specialists! DROP YOUR EMAIL[/font]

I asked, “Sir, can we all become entrepreneurs? And if not, what advice do you have for those of us who look forward to being gainfully employed?”

Unfortunately, he never answered the question. He instead passed a cruel remark on me

He relied “…only lazy people think that way”.

I also wish he never answered me that way because he was booed off the stage and literally ‘Control Z’ all the nice impression he had made.

After my NYSC in 2011, I embarked on a JOB SEARCH ADVENTURE - Took about 26 interviews in 3 years! Changed Job 4 times between 2011& 2013, Completed a Masters Degree in Personnel Psychology...all in the bid to answer my own Questions & Help you with the same!

I Presently work as a Administrative Officer (HR) @ Federal University Oye-Ekiti. Having sat on a couple of interview panels, I have compiled those daunting questions that I have heard or asked at panels. This E-book addresses a portion of my June-2010-unanswered-question.
