The Height Of Frustration In Job Hunting In Nigeria by garnetty(m): 8:14am On Apr 08, 2016 |
Seriously, job hunting in Nigeria could be so tasking, disappointing and altogether frustrating. How can anyone explain to me a reason behind a circumstance where a prospective job seeker applied for a job, sent an invite for interview but was subsequently told that the recruitment into the position has been put on hold indefinitely. In addition, the company in question wished the applicant success in his job search and career. This actually happened to me and I didn't find it funny at all. What could have been responsible for this?. The company involved here is a multinational company of good repute. Though they apologised for the inconveniences caused but I suspect something went wrong and I find it unconscionable to say the least. Has this kind of scenario happened to anyone on this platform?. Please let me have your take on this. Thank you. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Have said it before but will keep repeating it that schooling is a waste of time and money for average Nigerians. Whats the essence of paying 500k a year (x4 years) in an higher institution when you will still graduate and still spend years searching for jobs. When we can invest that 500k and be an employer of graduates. It's high time Nigerians accept schooling is not for all 23 Likes 2 Shares |

Hmmmmm that's Nigeria for u my dear. @ Op don't give up, God will put a smile on Ur face soon. On the hand, I keep hearing that so many graduates are not employable and I ask How? Why?.... Until I attended one interview sometime last month See how our graduates were behaving like some mannerless secondary school students. I was like what if this is a Behavioral Interview? Another thing is how we package our CV! A well packaged CV can earn u d job even without much interview. May God help Nigerian youths oooo. Congrats to me and all Batch A Corp members that will pass out on Thursday! May God favour us all 11 Likes 2 Shares |

www.biempowerment.com #WeLoveGraduates #WeLoveYouths Some Basic HR Interview Questions Job interviews can be a stressful process and you need to be prepared for anything an interviewer throws at you. You’re calm and relaxed, mentally ready for the challenge, and even looking forward to the chance to shine. Use each interview as a learning experience and don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t go the way you had hoped. 1. Tell me about yourself? Discuss 2-3 of your most significant accomplishments. Talk about a few of your key strengths as they relate to the job for which you are applying and how they can benefit from your strengths. Then discuss how you see yourself fitting into a position at their company. 2. Do you prefer working with others or alone? Your response needs to show that you can work well in a team atmosphere and still shoulder individual responsibility, as well. Before you answer, make sure you know if the job requires you to work alone or not. “I enjoy working alone when necessary as I don’t need to be constantly reassured of my work. But I would prefer to work in a group as I believe much more work can be accomplished when everyone is pulling together.” Have a Job Interview?

Yes. It happens atimes when a company decides they no longer 1. need to employ an outsider and revert to internal advert. 2. Have the need for that position, maybe due to lack of finance. 3. Maybe one Oga has brought his cousin from somewhere to fill in the position. Depends on the company tough. 4. When a company decides to hire an experienced person instead of a trainee for the said position. 5. Etc. Happened to a friend in 2007 in NLNG. They told him to forget about the job. 1 Like |
