MisterGrace:

Until this week, I worked with an Environmental Consulting Firm. Things were going on smoothly and all. Nobody ever thought about it until it hit us so hard.

Hey Guys!

You know you are all good and very important to this organization? The boss started. But I am so sorry this is happening...

By this time, the perspiration on my forehead started to role down.

It was on a Monday morning and there was no sign of it coming...

As you all know, continued the boss; the company can no longer afford to pay the salaries of everybody for now. This is as the result of the ongoing economic recession in the country.

Since I can't find fault in any of you, we shall embark on some very rigorous tests and anyone who can not make it through will have to go back home, maybe when things gets back to normal, we can reconsider.

After all the talks, we were arranged into the conference room and served with question papers. In it were questions on organic chemistry, economics, physics, philosophy, politics, geography and calculus.

The pass mark was 80/100%. But in the end, despite the fact that I scored 88% I wasn't selected because, I couldn't attempt the questions on calculus.

But what can I do?
But the bitter this is that, I just got married to wifee few months ago.


Aaah, my brother, the story is so touchy, i promise u one thing, God will never bring u to a place u cant succeed.


You will not lack. Just use that calculative brain of urs and move on. Ok

@bolded
When Baba Adeboye counselled RCCG ladies not to marry any man without a job, I guess he didn't factor in the possibility of a man losing his job just immediately after the wedding like in your case.
I sincerely hope your wife wont be devastated...

A man having a job or not should never be the basis for any lady getting married to him.

What is more important are the potentials the man possesses vis-a-vis what he can do by himself to make money should he find himself out of paid employment if he is already in one.

Pastors in counselling sessions should ask any intending gainfully employed groom this question: "Brother, should you lose your job a day after your wedding, what will you do?"

And for those who are not in gainful employment: "Brother, what do you do for a living and do you think it can sustain a family?"

The answers you get will sieve the wheat from the chaff.

In fact, I'd prefer ladies married a comfortable/almost entrepreneur/businessman than a rich, relaxed salary-earner should they have opportunity of making a choice. As they say, he who is on the ground fears no fall.

Entrepreneurs are conservative, diehard folks who always think of the rainy day no matter how bright the sun may be shining for them at the moment.

It is well bro. I wish you best of your luck in future endeavours.

Eyah... Sorry to hear that man. He who has found a wife has found a good thing. Something new and wonderful will definitely turn up soon.

All this just goes to show how much value employers place on employable candidates. Which is why a lot of people now don't have jobs. And those that are recruiting are using very rigorous means to streamline their hiring process.

But nevertheless, If you're looking for job and it seems you're not getting your desired job, ask yourself this question: Am I employable? To find out if your employable, read this article - https://www.nairaland.com/3353048/employable

You can also check out www.SpotterHR.com, an online assessment platform that connects top candidates to top employers in Nigeria.

You can take a free assessment here to see how smart you really are: http:///2cw7d5L

Good luck

salabscholar01:


Avoid catastrophizing. Catastrophizing means to have irrational thoughts, such as exaggerating your problem by blowing it out of proportion. Just like I quoted above, you might think that you may not be able to take care of her now that you have no job? Or does it means you will never get a job again? That is a big NO...

Stop engaging in all or none thinking (e.g., I'm either going to solve this problem or my life is over)... Make mental movies of better scenarios for your life and stand up to your man. This requires that you monitor your own thoughts and try to check them for accuracy. You can monitor your thoughts by asking yourself some questions, using the cold logic...

Bro it works! It has worked for me in this similar situation... Cold logic avoiding your emotions to mix with the standing facts about about your situations... Play your part, let your wife understand the moments, and encourage her to stand with you... You can give her hope in your words while you keep exploring for better opportunities... This is a problem already, but your attitudes towards it is what defines your limitations and how you can subdue it too.

This is the time to put things into perspective. Most likely, your problem is not the end of the world: you can still carry on despite this loss. Every problem either has a solution or can be looked at in a different way that shows it’s not really such a problem at all.

Some things can’t be changed, such as a continuous thinking of this big loss, but you can learn to live with it and thrive in the wake of it. Also keep in mind that people often think negative events will make them feel worse and worse for longer than they actually do. Telling yourself this isn’t the end of the world doesn’t mean your problem is not really a problem or is insignificant. It just helps you internalize that your problems are not insurmountable... I pray you come back stronger..

Sorry for the unexpected turn of events, but you have to be mentally strong. Talk n pray with your wife, but prayer alone will not work...your faith should be backed by works.

1. Forget about looking for another work immediately, it may take some time, consume badly needed funds n frustrate you.
2. Think of what you can learn - a vocational skill that will put money in your pocket daily. E.g GSM/Computer repairs, Barbing Saloon, Buying foodstuffs from rural areas n selling/supplying Urban markets, schools, restaurant. Learning to produce Household liquid detergents, bleach, air freshener, etc.

3. What does your wife do? She can learn how to bake n market snacks, bead design, makeup, etc.

4. With a laptop n internet connection, plus good training, you can earn money online.

5. This is not d time to lament or bemoan your situation. Do you have a vision for your life? what goods or services can you offer that is highly needed by others to solve their problems?

I've been in your shoes before n by God's grace, this setback can become your stepping stone to success....like mine was.

You shall Succeed.

God is your strength, He will see you through this trying times. And this will really be a true test of the love between you and your wifee.

For many of those in relationships and marriage,this period will be an eye opener, because lets be honest things are really scary, most especially for salaried workers. Only those that will survive are those who planned ahead by having a business by the side. I remember far back 2014, in a church cell meeting, I was advising those that were working to ensure they have a business by he side they attend to on Saturdays and public holidays, that it will enable them to learn how to run business, that it was dangerous to not do so.
And truthfully running business is in fact not easy, I have been doing so since 6 years ago, made quite some mistakes, lost millions, saw hell, but it made me stronger, tougher, wiser and also huge experience and learning curve.

Anyway they may look for another job or maybe start a business, but whatever my heart goes out to them and I pray they succede. Amen
