Good morning, happy new month of September to remember for good. This is the concluding path of the story of my friend and then we will make our resolutions whether the main issue of Nigerian youth is unemployment or unemployability. When he told me how he has been writing winning CVs from year three in the university and I looked at my life and I remembered, I started writing my CV after my NYSC and it was even a copied one. How can I attend the same interview with this guy then and it would not dust me.

I have undergone same process, but the problem is that they want you to enrol 20 affliate members that will order for their products and as well persuade 100 people each to order.where as every thing is online, but you will be the one to meet the people physically.So if you meet people and they trust you and send money to them for order,and at the end they failed to deliver the good,then you are in big trouble.Anyway, I have advise them to open a centre in Nigeria officially...

I have seen so many Nairalanders complaining and lamenting their ordeal in the hands of fake scam companies who invite people for interview only to introduce them to fake drug marketing business.
I'm doing this not only because these companies waste people's time, energy and T-fair going to such interviews, but also because most of these scammers extort money from hapless job seekers thereby making their suffering times two.
Imagine a scammer extorting #10,500 from a graduate who have been unemployed for years, not to talk of the transport fare wasted going to such fruitless interviews or job chat as they usually call it.
Some people even borrow money to pay these sheep in wolves clothing, who promise them heaven on earth. Some will tell you that you will make half a million within 1 month and all that. If you're not careful, you will take a loan that you will not be able to repay thus causing embarrassment and lack of rest of mind. An unemployed person should have only himself to worry about, not having debts also.

So I believe that if we are properly guided, we will not fall into the hands of these scammers.
Having said that, there are ways by which one can identify a fake or scam interview invitation and there fore avoid such waste of time and money. The good thing is that most of their messages come in the same format, so you will know its fake!

1. The message does not bear a company name: most of these scammers won't include their names on the message you will receive. All you will see are the address, the time and date and a phone number. A genuine company will not hide its identity from a potential employee.

2. The message will say "interview/job briefing": whatever job briefing means I don't know!
3. You will see a code or reference: something like "HR=0056" or "REF=002". This is an indication of the code number of the person who invited you to the "job briefing".
4. It will contain a phone number: this is the number of your referer. Most genuine companies don't give phone numbers.
5. You will see HR Admin in the message instead of company name
6. If you call their number, they will be reluctant to give info on the company.


And pls, ignore those people sharing job flyers on the streets, and those ones they paste on walls. Those are scammers and some ritualists too. And also most of these so called agencies are avenues for duping unsuspecting job seekers. Pls shine your eyes well well.
I will post the names of some of these fake companies/ agencies later.

Pls if you have any experiences inthe hands of these scammers kindly share it here so that others can learn and avoid them too. Thank you

Cheers!
In as much as you are trying to save people some stress you should not discourage some that are interested in taking up the job. Some of those companies are into networking and that is the only job in Nigeria that is moving now whether gnld or not. That it didn't work for some other person doesn't mean it wunt work for another. Some people are so lazy that they cant do anything for themselves. Some people have been looking for job for the past 5-7yrs no job. Ok do business no way they are just waiting for shell and chevron to come and pick them from their house. Even many of those real companies will employ you, use you for many years and sack leaving you with nothing by then they will say even if Na the gnld business make I do. Many networking business are here in Nigeria but there are good and more profitable ones now the question is how do I know which one to join. Incase anyone is interested you can contact me on 08083733710. Its not by force its those who are not ready to waste their years looking for job and also to avoid being bundled out by those so called companies you termed REAL. Nnpc, shell, Airtel, banks and so many companies sacked thousands of their staffs recently many are still sacking. The country gan is not helping someone self. If you couldn't get Job create one for yourself in as much as its not rituals and robbery. This is my opinion. Thanks
