It can be so frustrating going from pillar to post job hunting only to discover they are all scammers and GNLD agents ��

I Got to the interview without my resume and when they asked me for it I just stared back blank faced, my throat was dry and when I wanted to explain that I assumed they should have it, as I started speaking, spit flew from my mouth onto the face of the HR staff. As she jerked backwards, her cup of coffee in her other hand spilled all over her white suit and she screamed because it was hot and she fell backwards onto the glass table which shattered.

I got up and left in a hurry and ended up crashing into the glass sliding door and it broke to pieces.

You can't surprise someone with a job without having their CV or their info. Anyways I dont trust in man, I trust in God

Lol. Still don't conclude unless he says so. I got mine without him having my CV.
Just asked me for my Official name and had my phone no.

Weeks later got a message from the organist ion to come for documentation and that was when I submitted my Credentials.

If he hasn't said anything untoward, don't conclude. God uses ppl

I finished my NYSC as a fresh babe, I had high hopes, there was this highly influential man on my Facebook that had promised to collect my CV after my NYSC, immediately I finished my NYSC, I talked with him, he said thankGod you are done, it's not easy, then I asked him if I could send my CV to him now that I'm done since he said I should do so when I'm done, this man kept my message on read, I still chatted him up again and again, he still kept my message on read. I bet he was especting punna before he gives me the slot, but this baby girl wasn't gonna part with it. wink

I swear his voice was as if the put amplifier..... even the gate man could hear him..... just to cover the shame fast I said okay go... while he was running back the director who has heard the knows came up and saw me on call.... he started shouting what was I doing that my class was noise..... immediately I tried ending the call. not knowing it did not switch off .....the babe hear how the director was just shouting at me telling me how would I act so careless like that.... how would I leave those children.... he called. me some on holy name and said shit........ and told me he would deal. with me later..... well the phone went off after she could not take it any more...

Hmmm, i have been embarrassed on several occasions.
Firstly,I told this lady close to my house I was in search of a job,as aunty was working with a very big international company. She gave me her email and asked me to send my CV. Months after, aunty stopped responding to my greetings when passing by.

Second one, after messaging this lady,she later gave me a very nice insult. It ruined my day and I felt like crying.

I know God will do something soon sha. I will get a job soon in Jesus name. Amen


Pele my dear. Good news is coming on your way already

Got a message that I've been shortlisted for the company interview. They dropped the address. I couldn't even remember which of my numerous applications was inviting me.

Spent the entire remaining days reading hard, starched my shirt, ironed, wore tie, prayed and fasted, abstained from sin, bind my entire villagers.

Only to get there and saw my haggard looking "interviewers" claiming they have millions. Congratulating me on getting the job before finally confessing that they're just GNLD.

I immediately off my tie and hid it in my envelop.
please bro what is GNLD what do they do

That was in 2017. I had written my finals the previous year so I needed to get my hands busy.

I heard there was an opening at a hotel in Calabar

That's my true life tale.

Finally, I met someone from my state on nairaland.
