Funny Tinz About Online Job Applications by press005: 10:35pm On Mar 07, 2017
It can be frustrating at tyms as regards to online job applications.

They make you send ur CV bt also mandates you to fill some boxes .After about 30mins, you will realize you have repeated all the details on your CV.

A job that is meant for graduate trainees will still be asking you of 3-5yrs experience.

After spending 6 or 7yrs in school plus ASUU strike, some job adverts will require you not to be above 25yrs and must have completed your Nysc.

The one that baffles me the most is that a firm that advertised for an engineering graduate trainee position will invite candidates for a Job test and the next thing, they will give you a CBT on Antonyms and Synonyms as if say na English Language you study for school.

Anyhw sha, no matter what guys, dnt be discouraged. Keep pushing

Pele. People have gotten jobs through this process without two heads. Tell yourself, you can as well. Positivity in the midst of the frustration will go a long way.

What are you trying to say in this part?
I don't understand the boxes you make reference to. Is it psychometric tests?

grin grin grin
If they ask for 3-5 years experience, then it's not graduate trainee. Move to the next.

After spending 6 or 7yrs in school plus ASUU strike, some job adverts will require you not to be above 25yrs and must have completed your Nysc.
Well, this happens. Still there are some for 26 and 27 year olds. Take advantage of those.

Ehen! This part, you did Use Of English in Uni na despite the fact that you were an Engineering student. Antonyms and Synonyms is something we've been doing since primary school. Don't make it look like Nigerian graduates don't know opposites and nearest/similar in meaning.

When you start working, you'll communicate in English therefore I think the test of English is in order. Engine guys have no complain at all cheesy.

In all, like you said, keep pushing. Keep practicing as well.

This means you still have to fill up the boxes for your profile e.g date of birth, skills and work experience etc. Which has already been written on your CV.

I'm sorry my head is so full that I don't even know how to reply you.

Carry out a poll if you may. You'll be amazed at the result you'll get here.

On antonyms and synonyms, well, because you have no prior knowledge of the words that'll be asked, that's why you think it is difficult. In actual sense, it isn't as long as the words are familiar.

Think of it this way: different employers are looking for different things. And you cannot be all things to all people.

It's important you don't lose sight of what you want in life, no matter what society throws at you.

With that said, it's also important to know your personal skill set, and these skills may not even be directly linked to the course you studied in school.

Don't allow your certificate box you out of the marketplace. You are an intelligent being who can deliver value.

Keep hope alive, bro
