Wasn't it decreed in the beginning that man must sweat with hard labor before he puts food on the table?




Nothing comes easily in life, as everything is just a phase. At that moment when you just have lost all hope in everything, that moment when you've realised you are at ur weakest, God will open his heavens and pour out his blessings on you. Jobs will come out like the Sands of the sea shore and u will be the one to pick..

Thank you so much bro. I am LIFTED!




Don't cry! Chukwu nonso!

U never see anything, go n start snail farming white collar job is nt for u

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.

Fool...tell us what you are doing at the moment?. Snail farming or horticulture i presume! For your information, i am a professional with years of experience and not just a fresh or an entry-level graduate who just left the four walls of the university. I am employed with a white collar job and don't need your stupid advice.

priscaoge:
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! I 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

When you run ya mouth finish, I dey wait you for Aba. Better come find shop for Ariaria oo...

Congrats in advance. You shall be highly favoured

I feel you brother, however from experience I can tell you all hope is not lost yet. I work with a multinational - IOC. I guess I know what is happening at the moment.
Though you did not specify which industry it is but if my guess is right then you have no cause for alarm.
Let me explain what is happening from my point of view and using the oil industry.

The FG goes into JV - Joint Venture partnership with the IOCs through the NNPC where the NNPC has a 60% stake and the IOCs have a 40% state. Note that the 40% is not owned entirely by a particular IOC. For instance Total E&P Ltd is the Operator of OML 130 (AKPO FPSO) where NNPC has 60%, Total has about 20% (Here Total is the operator), in addition other oil companies too have their little % stakes.

Being a joint venture, all the partners are expected to contribute in order to make the exploration and production a reality. Most times, the responsibility falls on the operator - mostly a technical partner, who doles out the needed fund to meet up with day to day activities on the field. However consultation is made with all partners, evaluation done and once its approved to be a "GO" the operator goes ahead and spends the required fund hoping to be refunded by the joint partners, this is called CASH calls.

Once the field/site/platform produces a given amount of crude, agencies of the FG eg DPR, NNPC , customs etc take appropriate record and from the data obtained each partner gets his deserved allocation according to her % stake. For instance if in a week the platform produces 2 Million barrels of oil, NNPC which has 60% stake is allocated 60% of 2,0000,000 barrels of oil, Total which has 20% stake is also allocated 20% of 2,000,000 barrels of crude.

Note: Each joint venture partner is expected to have released her own part of the financial burden. This is the normal situation. Idea scenario.
However, it is not so in Nigeria at the moment. The FG does not remit her own part of the financial burden but they get their cut of the production. This has been on-going for years, even since the last administration. So the Oil majors are left to bear the burden, only for NNPC to only show up when its time for production sharing. Despite the FG's lack of commitment financially,the IOCs have been surviving as a result of the fact that the oil price was high ($100 - $110), but with the price presently at $39-$41/ barrel, it has been very difficult for the IOCs to survive. Remember they will pay their personnels overhead, pay oil servicing contractors e.g Schlumberger, Halliburton , Geo-services , Cameron, DBN , Hamilon , Alpha, MISwaco , Drilpet etc

As a result of the low income they get from their own allocation they find it difficult to meet up with necessary obligations, hence they devise steps to stay afloat / remain in business. Hence cost cutting measures like layoff / right sizing , reduction in staff salary , stoppage of several incentives / allowances which were hitherto being paid.

Even if it is not an oil industry, with the current economic harshness , monetary policies of the CBN , Foreign exchange shortage in circulation which of course affects manufacturing industries as they can no longer import as they would have loved to owing to the crash of naira to the dollar, unclear policy direction of the FG. Its absolutely not a time to smile for most companies.

With all these, you would agree with me that, no business man would want to employ personnels thus adding to his financial burden at this critical moment. Hence the decision of most IOCs / Multinationals to put recruitment on hold for now until their financial books / fortune gets better.

In conclusion, my dear brother, relax, pray , put your hope & trust in God, if that Job is yours, no man can take it from you.
Cheers.

Y u dey vex dey insult ur papa

Can't u farm, lazy man better take ur frustration on sth positive, frustrated man

U r nt better than graduates dt r into farming, d earlier d better for u

This is normal especially with the current financial situation in the Country. I have progressed in job interviews and have been invited to the last stage interviews with Shell and GE, only to be written that the recruitment has been placed on hold. Obviously, this is due to re-alignment of recruitment needs and financial implication for hiring a new hire, when they can internal resource for that position.

Where I work currently, a colleague resigned in their role, and the role was merged with another one and the person's job enlarged. What the organisation did was increased the chap's salary abit, this means the organisation will not incur cost of hire a new person which would include buying and maintaining a car, phone lines, internet, office space, healthcare, bonuses etc. Thats how it works.

Dont feel bad, please continue in your job hunt, or better still try out your hands as an entrepreneur.

GambaOsaka:


Congratulations in advance. If I may ask, have you gotten a job already? Or better, how many interviews have you attended, passed and have gotten the job?
Don't very deceived by those guys that come to orientation camp and tell you book knowledge. Or those articles you read online about getting jobs , CV blah blah blah.

The true picture in the Nigerian job market is totally different. Thousands will go for the test, different stages of interview and yet at the end, after wasting your money, time and energy , they send you a regret and good luck mail. All because the HR manager, General manager or someone refers another person for the position. Even 3rd party recruiters like workforce, adexen and co do bring in their people.

As far as Nigerian job is concerned, only God can get you the job. Not well arranged CV or even years of experience.

Your platform name is better understood as STUPIDITY and not "WISDOM" which you genetically lack. Again, you are a BIG FOOL and you should learn how to address people or contribute to topics like this or anyone for that matter on this platform. If you are suffering from a down-syndrome and unable to comprehend what we are saying here or lack better understanding of what to contribute, then it is better for you to stay away or send your advice to the birds. Better still, take your "poo advice" to the next thread. Oponu lasan lasan!

garnetty:


My brother if you don't have anything to contribute leave this thread and allow serious minded people to share their views. I will not be here if this has not happened to me. I don't make up stories out of nothing.

A fool like you believes everyone on this platform is as stupid and myopic as you are. You must be a terrible psychic to decipher and conclude that I was not serious with my story. I am sure you came out of the same womb with that idiot who calls himself "ogawisdom" and has been saying trash ever since I opened this thread. Silly graduates who don't know their left from right. Nairaland is not designed for low-life personalities like you. Read contributions from decent Nairalanders even inspite of your distractions and tell me whether you and your cohort are not mentally deluded.

nice comment. you just told the whole world who you really are. someone suggested farming to you and instead of saying thanks, you opened that your smelly mouth by telling him he is mentally unstable. who is the lunatic here.piggy brain dead head.

garnetty:


Look at this slowpoke whose only contribution to this thread was to determine whether I was serious or not. Goat, who needed me to post evidence of my story before he can believe it. If you are really well upstairs, you should have observed clearly how offensive and lousy your 'dickhead' cohort was getting to have warranted my replies to him. Your expressions says a lot about your low-life.....good for nothing scum!

It is crystal clear that you are a bunkum. I suggest you take your pills. I am better informed than you are, IDIOT.
