I write this with tears in my eyes but I won't cry because a man is not supposed to.

If really I was such a bad person , I hope to change and live a better life. But to deserve unemployment because of a past situation I found myself in which I couldn't help, I think it's too much for me to bear, but what do I know? maybe I deserve to be unemployed.

But if I tell you I'm not depressed, I'm lieing .

Last year I got a marketing Job with a bank few months after my NYSC when things were extremely hard . Even transport money to go for the training was hard. On the first day of training, on my way home, I lost my phone which was the only thing of value I had then. Safe to say I began the Job phoneless , cashless and frustrated .

Even money to buy bank wears and appear smart or serious was a case . No transport for work, no phone for my work and marketing, no clothes to wear, I'll leave out feeding coz I could control that with starvation or one square meal. My mom was only able to raise small cash for me which most times didn't last a week, transport to and fro was 400 naira, a plate of food was 300, before I get transport for marketing , airtime and transport to call and bringing customers to open accounts and running around on the job which was money intensive, anybody who worked a as marketer before can relate...all these with a huge target of 30 accounts to open and a target of 3 million to bring to the bank.. At least I'm expected to spend 1k a day on the Job which I have not been paid. Remember it was my first month and most banks don't pay in the first month, it's in the second month they combine your salary and pay. Pay was 35k. I was just frustrated.

All these struggles manifested in my performance coz I couldn't deliver and my first two months was a mess coz some days I just couldn't go to work. Sometimes I came to work late coz I had to look for transport money in the morning. Being able to come to work and survive was my main concern then, I fell sick many times out of starvation and it affected my Job. On one occasion or two the Branch manager assisted with stipends when I complained to her about my struggles. Most times the stipends only lasted a day or two but It was a life saver for me coz there was no other option, at least I was able to come to work and eat the next day. Fellow colleagues couldn't help, nobody could, I dropped shame one day in the board meeting and asked for help for we the new staff and how hard it is for us to keep up with the Job. I got nothing.

Not too long after, I resigned to pursue something else . I traveled.

Only for me to come back after 8 months for another bank Job interview and when my former Branch manager was called as a referral, the one I complained to about my struggles and reasons for my underperformance , the same one who assisted me sometimes and this was her reply "He's unserious, indiscipline and unfit for the Job. I was not supposed to hear that but the interviewer put it on loud by mistake and I heard that part before she quickly put the phone off. Immediately I knew I wasn't gonna get the Job.

It hurts me so much, dad is no more, mom a widow, siblings in school calling me day and night for money being the first son and bread winner. If I'm unserious and irresponsible, I can change & become better. No matter the circumstances I faced, I can't make excuses for that. But if I was such a terrible person to deserve unemployment . I let God be the Judge. The interview happened yesterday.

I'm back to the unemployment table guys. My advice to every young hustler out there is to do their best on any job they find themselves no matter the circumstances. But my prayer is for our pasts not to deny us our future bread. We go make am last last.

Thanks Brother.

The summary of this matter is That:

The woman is a witch.

Like the woman I rent her place, wants to seduce me while married. And she be like okporoko.

Now she goes around wishing me evil.

Why did you include the said lady as ur referee?

I don't think you should blame yourself too much for this. The woman was in a better position to have understood your predicament as you've taken a good bold step by coming out of the meeting to raised the issue of finances which ultimately affected your performance. A godly and understanding person shouldn't have held that against you. But keep hope alive and double your hustle. We go dey alright las las

A friend of mine reduced his age in his cv and went for job interview, he was told by the panel that he was too young for the job.

Bankers ain't hard to find in the city . Once they know the bank and branch you worked. Under which manager you worked . It's simple.

Quite a touching story. please whats your current location?

Kind of you to share your experience. Nobody puts reference on CVs these days. Use "Reference available on request". You can as well yank off that Experience from your CV.

You will get another Job and like you noted...you have learnt your lesson

You better let go of the notion "men don't cry"

E go be bro! Believe & never stop moving!!

The lady is mean. My only issue is that the pay is too small for all the hassles. Some schools pay way higher than that. You will get a better job

czarina:

Thank God she's like "okporoko" then..

u know what happens to women who aren't okporoko and attempt to seduce... U did the maths right ���

another parasite on this forum

you left the issue at hand, a young guy pouring out his heart and his dire situation to focus on a meaningless comment all because the comment is related to women

oniranu

OP keep your head up, nobody will remember tha 999 times you tried and failed but everybody will remember the 1 time you succeed

That particular Job was never meant to be yours. It was only meant to be part of your success story. Watch out how you become successful and tell this story later. Good things ahead bro.

First things first
REMOVE THAT WITCH FROM YOUR CV AS A REFEREE!
The heart of man is desperately wicked!

there'll be light at the end of the tunnel,dont stop the hustle,we will all get there in Jesus name AMEN

How did you leave your initial job?

The woman conclusion about you may not be connected with how you worked with her but how you left the job. You may not have known type of buttons she has been pressing because of you, only for you to tender your resignation. At least, she accommodate your inadequacies while you worked with her without reporting you or recommending that you should be sent back to your outsourced company.

Sometimes we need to reflect on recommendations that people gave on us. The woman comment might just be the best description of who you are as at the period you worked with her, because you are not the only new recruit in the same situation. You might be surprised to know how many people in your situation that the woman has experienced. God may have allow that mistake to happen for you to hear and make amend for possible future better offer coming your way. Don't live in self defense and denied blaming your attitude to work on your situation. Who knows whether that has also been the reason you are yet to get or sustain a good job after you left the initial one.

Now from your narration, you have support from your parent, your colleagues and supervisors and you cannot survive with their supports for a month. And I am sure the support comes more than once until everybody realized that you are just what the woman described you to be and stop giving you support. Secondly, you sometimes absent yourself from work, come to work late, don't meet your target, etc. Seriously, your condition wasn't the cause but your attitude to work. There are thousands of people who are in worst situations than you and survive the one and half months before pay. Moreover, if you have good attitude to work, relate well with people in the branch (operations and marketing staff), and not selective in assigned work, you can't be complaining of lack of support.

Though you might have been a changed person now, but at as that period of time the woman description of you is just the best description of who you are. My brother, think about it and make positive adjustments. May I also tell you never to include her as reference or better exclude that experience from your CV.

I wish you better job and new life to work.

It's a bank job you said, since the money you were supposed to count its not your fathers money nko.
