I will say only in a normal society and not in Nigeria where you take a job just to leave the house daily . . . But hope all these will change sooner than later 5 Likes |

The points raised are all irrelevant to the Nigerian society,imagine a situation where 700 people applied for a job ad that needed to employ just 10 people and you happen to be one of the final ten,will you begin to put those points into consideration after spending close to four years at home after graduation. No sane graduate will begin to read through those points with the humiliation and challenges that come with being jobless after many years of graduation,I think naija job seekers knows better. 14 Likes |

I was once offered a job and, having carefully considered these points above, turned it down much to the dismay of the MD. It was more intriguing that I was the last candidate standing out of a 129 and it actually came as a surprise when I turned the offer down. Even the last applicant with me at the last stage of the interview was not called to take the job even though she lived near the office. This was because I had other options sha! Sure wouldn't if I didn't. |

The euphoria of getting a job in this country won't make most ppl consider all these when accepting a offer. |

Basically these rules apply to those with existing Jobs. i once turned down a job which doubled my existing salary cuz of some issues. New job-seekers: take whatever u're given and then start another joob-hunt immediately #methinks 3 Likes |

Good write up. I do agree with some of the points at the same time will like to be realistic. I believe we are looking at a particular class of people applying for skilled jobs. Do you also consider the rate of inflation in the country? Seriously, if you are offered a job of 200,000 naira a month, after several years of joblessness, will you turn it down because the answer to these questions you ask are not answered while someone with more qualification is ready to accept that offer for even less welfare package? Some companies have good prospects even for their emlpoyees but the individual missues such opportunuity. I think it dwells a lot with the individaul. What do you want? How long will it take me to achieve it? Where do I want to be in the next five years? |

Artistree: I was once offered a job and , having carefully considered these points above, turned it down much to the dismay of the MD.Your comment so interest me until i read the 'i had other options sha' part. @topic these tips are good for those who have other options; not for fresh graduates or those who have jobhunt for years. |

Turn down offer ke, For Nigeria? Unless you already have a job. A job seeker will accept any paying job regardless of the conditions. In Nigeria, it is He/she who already has a job, that gets jobs. |
