It was during NYSC, while on camp I met with the ZI through a gender equality awareness group I joined, she told me there's this NGO that needs a female Corper, that's how I entered it. The NGO building was an abandoned flat in a market place... I was like OK, let's see what happens. The owner goes, "em I don't have anyone working with me, so you'll be the one to open and close everyday, you clean the whole place, I'll get you acquainted with some of the paper works we do here, so you'll take over. I mustn't forget to mention that some churches will want us to come speak with them on Sundays, so be ready to work on Sundays too. you'll be paid... Shebi NYSC is going to pay you 19,800". I was shocked, I told her to reject me o, she refused because she has a relationship with the ZI. Alot of drama happened sha, ZI wanted me to stay also, I maintained my refusal, they saw me as a bad shild but what's my own? I know one day, something go push the woman send me enter market go buy maggi and salt for am. 82 Likes 4 Shares |

Haven't really gone for any crazy interview. Nnpc interview happens to be my first ever interview after service.. I learnt how to fix tiles after secondary school. Right now, that's what I do for a living. I earn some good money though, but it's quite stressful. Just praying to God to bless our hustle with a Good job. 59 Likes 2 Shares |

I was once called by one of the big entertainment center in Edo state for an interview, that very day I was so exited and highly elated, I had high expectations and hopes that i was about to start a career in a big firm, I ironed my trousers and starched my shirt. On that faithful day I matched magestically to the center for the interview there i met other potential employees, I was confident in my self because I know the kind of stuff I am made up of. It all began when we were asked to que up and one after the other we began to go into the office of the MD for the interview. I was eager for it to get to my turn as I wanted to unleash my persona on the MD. Finally it got to my turn and I walk into the MD office head high, when I got there I was asked to introduced my self which I did, the MD was an Indian man asking me all sort of questions in his Indian ascent I kept answering him and lecturing him on the job of which I was being interview for.. When he was satisfied that I could handle the position effectively it can to the stage of salary negotiation.. He asked how much will I like to be paid I told him i am open to negotiation. Then the shocker came he started from 10000 then 15000 and finally he said the best the company can pay is 18000 naira. I just walked out of his office and started heading back home Lesson : you should not judge a book by its Cover. I am still job hunting, praying hard to get a job at least that can make me settle down and start a family. That's my story 64 Likes 1 Share |

I had graduated and was waiting for induction. I needed money for clearance, suit and other stuff like mad so I was willing to do anything. After knocking on half the company doors in Apapa, my friend and I finally got "work" at Oxford factory; makers of the popular Cabin and Digestive biscuits. Daily wage was 800. The work was evil. Six to six with a one hour break. Trying to keep up with machines for hours on end. Every section of the factory was designed to kill. Packaging, mixing, stamping, name it. There was no end to it. The machines just wouldn't stop. Work for 10 people would be assigned to three people. Thunder fire those Indians and the Nigerians enabling them. Those bastards would still try to pay you less than the useless wage on one flimsy excuse or the other. It was hell. The revolutionary in me always wanted to fight them. I felt so bad (still do) for the men and women would would still beg to do that dehumanizing work. There was a limit to the number of workers needed each day so people were turned back when the limit was exceeded. Come and see people's fathers and mothers begging to be enslaved. People dey suffer sha. My friend had a 50kg ? bag of flour dropped on his neck from a storey by mistake. He complained for days. He is well built so it was nothing serious. Someone else would have landed in the hospital. I will put a stop to all forms of slavery when I become Commander-in-Chief because that's what that was; and still is because I'm sure nothing has changed. I even hear it's worse in other factories. Did I mention there was no limit to the number of biscuits you could consume ![]() ![]() 121 Likes 7 Shares |

One thing I realize is that you likely won't know your worth when you are broke. During my days of job hunting I was so broke that I felt elated when a tutorial center accepted my application to teach. N750 per period twice a week. I needed something to atleast eat. Damn me!!! Fortunately I got an offer a week later for a better Job (N3M+ annual pay). In fact I got to decline two other offers paying some fraction lower. I feel for job seekers. Despite I only spent 3months after NYSC, I passed through hell that I wondered how people survive months to years being jobless. 64 Likes 1 Share |

Edonice: I was invited for an interview at Kada Cinemas, but didn't go. Have you ever gone for interview at GT Food? Those ones do interview every Wednesday that year. A friend of mine from Uniben called me o. Guy wetin you de do for house, come GT Food na, interview de. Just dress come. Na so I leave my PS wey I de beat my cousin o. Carry all my documents enter bus from oko central straight to ring road. From there to their office at Ekewhan road. Got there, receptionist give me paper, say make I write my name then join the others who were looking at me like, this one wan come collect our job. You know that kind of situation when you enter into an interview room and you just know you're over qualified for such positions available because of the type of people present. That's how they gave us calculus to solve o. Me wey study philosophy for class, wetin concern me with maths? I was just looking at the paper until the invigilator asked everybody to submit. At that moment, that kolo just enter my head and I went to him with my empty sheet and told the guy, if you can solve two these questions I will work for free for one month. The guy look me finish say make I wait. Later showed me to their Oga who asked me for my qualifications, my experience and what position did I apply for? After many talk the guy said they will give me a try but I will be following their bus to do catering services during weddings and obitos ( obito for Benin na short for obituary). And the pay was 18k per month but you'll get free lunch sha. What turned me off was when he said since there's no ceremonies during the week, I'll be at uniben selling with their van. Na so I just know say that PS will do me better o. I've had many funny experiences o. But thank God for today sha 61 Likes 3 Shares |

After my service year, i just wanted to work(anything sef). I got invites for interviews but I went for this particular one cos i felt it was a "touche" one. I met three guys n I was the only female, I went in n I was so confident that I did very well. The CEO called me the next morning that I n one other guy had 8.5/10 but they have to choose between us. CEO: The pay is 24,000/month(in my mind "what", a whole admin officer) & you'll be on probation for 6months, then if you're hardworking, we'll review it. Lastly, you'll sign an undertaking that you won't leave this job for 6months too. Pls, let me know your decision. I didn't take it o, me that i was thinking it'll be a stepping stone for another job. A month later, i got my present job. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

A private school offered me a teaching job about 3months ago to teach Chemistry and mathematics from SS1 to SS3 (3arms for each class for maths) for 15k per month with my second class degree and NYSC discharge cert. I turned it down outrightly. He has already stressed me with several screenings before tabling his offer, I was so gutted. To the glory of God am the quality control officer of a reputable firm as I'm typing write now. My advice to you all reading this who is yet to get a job, don't let desperation and circumstance make u settle for less when you know you're far worth more, when you take those offers u miss out on the bigger ones coming. Stay blessed you all 34 Likes 2 Shares |
