I have tried as much as possible to list some of them below. DROP your thoughts 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Wonderful. I like this post. Employers think because there is wide spread unemployment and people are looking up to them for employment therefore it gives them the status to act like God and talk down the unemployed folks. Nonsense. Please send this to the front page. 5 Likes |

hehehhe.... lie lie everywhere . the employers lies about their company and job post , applicants lies about their skills and experience in CVs. The truth is most times , employers usually do not select the best candidate that can do the work. atimes that applicant that has got great enthusiasm to do the job is even dropped at the inital stage and then that which is just looking for somewhere to hang around is chosen. The latter leaves when there is a better opportunity. The question is how do you know who has got most interest in your company and is ready to take your company to a next level ? 3 Likes |

It takes a HR/employer who knows what they want to get these people, but then you need to do your own part by being truthful about the job role etc |

Most of this job description are copied from foreign companies. Imagine a job where the require a web programmer with sound knowledge in mysql, php html and you want to pay the person 40,000 the applicant himself would just put these in his CV. Nigerian people deceiving people since inception. |

pacodas:I mean as an employer how do you know ? If truly you can tell who has got the most interest in your company , your employees wouldn't resign when they hear of better pay even as you aren't offering too bad when it comes to salary. I am of the opinion that if you truly wish to develop yourself and a company of interest , you would not resign because of a better salary. This is because you know what you want really and the future you want for that company with you in there.* note *am talking of good companies that know how to develop quality human resource , not majority of our Nigerian companies* |

Candidates must have 1st class/2.1 and must be less than 26...what they dont know is that these set of candidates wld get the job, but wld leave for a better offer in few months, cos they are the ones in high demand...especially the very young graduates. |

But here are some pointers * Most times they may not perform extremely well like the hot heads during interview but shows great enthusiasm. * They are willing to start with something less than their worth if you promise to improve pay as time goes * They don't hesitate much in accepting offers provided it's reasonable * They are honest * They don't lie in their CV just to impress you * They know a lot about your company and the management, things normal outsider won't easily know without digging a little deep. These few pointers may help but are no guarantee. |

Nigerian people deceiving people since inception. Yes most companies/HR Managers don't actually know the skills they want for a particular position, they just search the job description for that position on Google and use it without checking if they actually need all that it contains. 1 Like |

pacodas:Very correct. the first ,third and last points say it. Sadly , recruiters don't employ such candidates because they may screen out the cv initially or fail to progress with the candidate because he didn't show a competence desired which other with no interest did. I have been turned down by companies I got great interest in. I kept in contact with the successful candidates , some of these candidates resigned barely a year after offer.The company must have been sad because they spent huge amount of money on overseas training already. If perhaps , I was given a chance to tell them about the company and my interest, may be ,I would e doing great with them right now. 1 Like |

Some hr officers are bigoted in deciding the right candidates to hire after interviews. So sometimes they choose the wrong candidates based on tribal/religious sentiments or even looks,while leaving out the best candidates for the jobs. 3 Likes 1 Share |
