As saddening as the reality of this story is, I couldn't stop myself laughing all the way. It'll take all the restraint in the world not to show any reaction after the "interview"

My friend, let me lend you my 2 cents! The reason many graduates are jobless is because they keep waiting for the perfect opportunity, yet missing the chance to improve their resume while the search continues. As a fresh graduate you have no experience, no workforce training, you are basically a liability. As an HR manager I would be very reluctant to hire someone without experience when someone with a few years of experience competes for the same job. Try not to look at it from the monetary aspect, I know everybody wants to make money but there are systematic ways of doing things. My first ever job was at a grocery store, it was depressing and unfit for a graduate like me but in the long run it helped me learn valuable skills which propelled me into a wonderful career in another sector. Whenever I hear stories like people searching for a job for 1, 2 or even 3 years I just shake my head, opportunities are there you just have to work towards it.



Yes its gud to start from somewhere but pls dnt call a fresh graduate a liability. Maybe less attractive to most companies due to training cost and all ,but pls dem no be liability.
Not every company or job is a gud starting point. Some jobs take all ur time, pay u peanuts, give u depression and will occupy ur whole life to a point whr u cant go for other interviews.

I read somwhr on dis forum dt a graduate's job includes flushing oga's poo all in the name of starting from somewhere.

'Starting from somewhere' is relative

You talk this way because you don't own a company or run a business. In business, it's all about the bottom line. A fresh graduate is perceived as a liability always, it is up to the company to decide if they are willing to mold that liability into an asset. This starts with training, motivation and empowerment. Sure there are jobs out there that a graduate should not consider doing but the example the op gave was still very much manageable. Just because you start from the bottom does not mean you have to stay there. We are what we make of ourselves!
