1st Part: Start with a condensed version of your career history. Need we remind you that it has to be as concise as possible?

Pls explain better..

Am always unhapp whenever i saw million of unemployed Nigerians qeuene to be interviewed for a limited post in an organization. That upon the number of the years spent being schooling only end up at begging for JOB. Honestly our curriculum is the schools are not encouraging at all because its only train us to become slave at the end of the day at the mercy of an employer.
Youths!!! Let take our destines with our hands....

Hello house!

I urgently need sincere reponses to these questions

I was diagnosed of hep B some three months ago and am about going for further tests. 

More important now is that I was sucessful in all the recruitment process for a role in a multinational company( it's an experienced role and I was the only one sucessful). 

Being the last stage I was sent a medical form to take to a specified hospital for medical assessment. Alas! on the form, hep B was part of the test to be conducted.

Pls house, what could be my fate after the company detects my hep B status? Would they not descriminate against me? 

As anyone in the house ever been in a similar situation? how did it turn out? Would being hep B positive mean an end to one's career aspirations? Am very worried now, I have invested so much in myself.

Lastly is there any organisation local or abroad that sees into the rigth of people living with hep B?

Times have changed. I used this same storyline to answer that very question in a bank interview sometime this year and the next thing the lady interviewing me said was " if I ask you to tell me more about yourself don't you think the first thing you should have done was to tell me your name"? And she had my cv in her hands.
So op times have changed and HR managers do require you tell them your name first before anything

Everyday comes with new methodology.

Tell me about youself? An Oil firm

I am butanep from delta state, studied Geology from University Of Benin, an aspiring geophysicist and also an ICT expert in the area of data base management. I am a dynamic fellow because my discipline has exposed me to different areas of life and career. I am a certified safety officers because safety comes first before any work is done effectively.

I have a basic idea in the application of geological softwares like petrel & powerlog. I had the opportunity to use them during my industrial training @NNPC. I was able to generate a 3D seismic model on the olumu well of Niger delta basin and also generate a correlation panel to other wells in the basin. I did a paper presentation of the fault history of the Niger delta basin and was given a credit for the work. I have plans to publish the work very soon.


I am one fellow eager to learn because continuous learning is the key to a successful career. I want to keep developing myself until my impact is felt in the petroleum industry and the Nigeria economy. I am an indispensable tool which any company or organization will love to hire.

I've visited many blogs but I've never visited a blog that completely covers everything I need. I was surfing the net when I stumbled on this blog. At first, I was'nt optimistic about what I was gonna find inside but after I visited it for the first time. I couldn't stop but visit it over and over again everyday. I've decided not to be selfish, so I'm gonna let you visit it too and have the fun that I had.
