I think its about time i educate the naysayers who thinks everything should come free.

The worst people to serve are the poor people, give them free they think its a trap, tell them its a small investment, they will say can't earn much,
Tell them to come in big, they will say no money.
Tell them to try new things, they will say, no experience.
Tell them its traditional business, they will say, hard to do.
Tell them its a new business model, they will say it's MLM.

Tell them to run a shop they will say no freedom
Tell them to run a business, they will say no expertise.

They do have things in common,
they love to ask goodle, listen to friends who are as hopeless as them.
They think more than a university professor and do less than a blind man.

Just ask them, what can they do, they won't be able to answer you.

My conclusion, instead of your heart beats faster, why not act a bit smarter
Instead of just thinking about it, why not do something about it.
Poor people fail because of one common behaviour, their whole life is about waiting.

Schleez Nigeria Limited is a real company in Nigeria, set up by some Nigerian graduates, now helping people start up business that pays more than just a job. Join Schleez Limited and stop job hunting, there are still many more people who will graduate with better qualifications and smarter skills, why not start building a business today.
The beautiful ones are not yet born.
Years ago i was looking for an office job but now there is something better than that which i have now engaged myself in and that is working woth Schleez Nigeria Limited. You too can have a change of mind before its too late.



Dilh:
They are very real at Schleez Limited ikeja, i went for the interview, it was lovely, i got there, although we were very many that attended, so they only picked few people who qualified for the aptitude test.
They invited us for the final interview tomorrow.
I am believing God for a positive outcome.
don't mind that guy calling them names.

I have seen so many Nairalanders complaining and lamenting their ordeal in the hands of fake scam companies who invite people for interview only to introduce them to fake drug marketing business.
I'm doing this not only because these companies waste people's time, energy and T-fair going to such interviews, but also because most of these scammers extort money from hapless job seekers thereby making their suffering times two.
Imagine a scammer extorting #10,500 from a graduate who have been unemployed for years, not to talk of the transport fare wasted going to such fruitless interviews or job chat as they usually call it.
Some people even borrow money to pay these sheep in wolves clothing, who promise them heaven on earth. Some will tell you that you will make half a million within 1 month and all that. If you're not careful, you will take a loan that you will not be able to repay thus causing embarrassment and lack of rest of mind. An unemployed person should have only himself to worry about, not having debts also.

So I believe that if we are properly guided, we will not fall into the hands of these scammers.
Having said that, there are ways by which one can identify a fake or scam interview invitation and there fore avoid such waste of time and money. The good thing is that most of their messages come in the same format, so you will know its fake!

1. The message does not bear a company name: most of these scammers won't include their names on the message you will receive. All you will see are the address, the time and date and a phone number. A genuine company will not hide its identity from a potential employee.

2. The message will say "interview/job briefing": whatever job briefing means I don't know!
3. You will see a code or reference: something like "HR=0056" or "REF=002". This is an indication of the code number of the person who invited you to the "job briefing".
4. It will contain a phone number: this is the number of your referer. Most genuine companies don't give phone numbers.
5. You will see HR Admin in the message instead of company name
6. If you call their number, they will be reluctant to give info on the company.


And pls, ignore those people sharing job flyers on the streets, and those ones they paste on walls. Those are scammers and some ritualists too. And also most of these so called agencies are avenues for duping unsuspecting job seekers. Pls shine your eyes well well.
I will post the names of some of these fake companies/ agencies later.

Pls if you have any experiences inthe hands of these scammers kindly share it here so that others can learn and avoid them too. Thank you

Cheers!


Thank you for this post!

You are wrong. There was still some multinational companies and 'big' firms who still use yahoo or free email to receive job applications because they will like to remain 'annonymous' make una no bombard dem with phone calls (who know who for d company etc) or block dem official email grin so d recruitment process isnt messed up wink





Very true. I am currently recruiting for a company and I am using a yahoo email to receive CVs rather than the company's corporate email. Although I understand what the other poster was trying to say.

Anyways for those interested;

The above named company is currently recruiting Sales Executives.

QUALIFICATION: Minimum of OND.

REMUNERATION: N30,000 basic allowance plus commission.

I appreciate the author for addressing this issue and I hope that this article will be read by a larger percentage of the online users. This is because many incidences of scam interviews have been reported and some people have lost large amounts of monies. I will be recommending this site to clients accessing our Research Proposal Editing help so that they can be informed.
