Sorry o, but ur experience is nothing compared to how I lost two jobs back in 2012 on the same day as well. I lost a private sector job and a govt job. I lost both jobs on October 12th, 2012. That was the worst day of my existence on earth

One of my greatest selling point had always been the fact that I am very outspoken. Well that advantage turned into a great disadvantage for me today sad. I have always heard about people saying how they kept on saying rubbish at interviews and they new it but could not stop themselves, that was exactly what happened to me today.

Today I woke up very optimistic, I had an interview in V.I, that was number one and another job consideration, number two. In which, conversations had already begun on it.
I got to the venue of my first interview very early and I was person the first person to be interviewed. After the interview I got a call to come back for another testing to decide who will get the job. I was already congratulating myself,only for me to shoot myself in the leg sad sad as my brain was coordinated but my words refused to follow suit when asked what I thought of the job.

Alas , my mouth started spewing out jargon about how not tasking enough the job was, shuuuu shocked shocked for someone that has been sitting down at home for over a month after service. I tried to rephrase my words but Iro o, the deed had already been done. After listening to my self and seeing the expression of the interviewer, I new even I wouldn't employ myself. I was devastated at how, so close to the job I was and how I lost it to over-zealousness.
Not long after that I was dismissed while, the other girl girl stayed behind. That was when I realized the gravity of what my mouth had done, I already passed all the test to the best of my ability but why would you tell an interviewer that the work is not mentally challenging enough!!! who does that

Now the second one was supposed to be easy, as the owner of the business has already called me and I thought we were on track only for me to return back b from the island and receive a message about how someone else closer to the office has been found and even had an experience in customer service. Alas that was the Last straw, I received the message and I WEPT.
Next time learn to activate your brain before put your mouth in gear!

I guess,it is very easy to write a post. Hope you can see your own mistake.

I was just trying to be of help, maybe I came too hard on you, kpele.

I wanted to quote your own words....I guess you will like this better:

"Your grammar must have been a (or the) contributing factor....you didn't 'lost' any job, because you never had any to begin with...

Change your topic to..."How I didn't get two jobs...." Or "How I squandered two job opportunities"

Honestly, you will agree that, that little mistake change the whole context of your story, I clicked on the link thinking, someone got fired from two jobs on the same day. An interviewer can detect little things like these, we take for granted and they might be the difference between employment and unemployment.

The Wonderful Creator gave us two ears and just a mouth,
Surprisingly, both ears are closer to the brain than the mouth is,
So words/questions heard through the ears shd be sent to the brain, processed before responding with the mouth.

Gaffes (costly ones sometimes) are always made when one short-circuits this network. And who doesn't sometimes?.


It's exactly what you thought, which I believe is actually true that your heart and mouth spoke, you just didn't think it over.

I take it you're a driven person so you'd probably have hated the job and its monotony.

Not the end of the world though, better ones are ahead.

Btw, if you're still interested in customer service gigs, maybe you should try out "jooble" and ngcareers

It's not a big deal if u're staying at home after a month of ur service as there are lots of two or more years graduates out there sad, but u should have clinch one of those job as the outspoken factor could have help.
