Job hunting in Nigeria is job itself. But so many things piss me off.
1- Waiting for almost eternity to get shortlisted for test, then another century to get results, which one may eventually get a regret mail...chai
2-Some HRs saying most Naija graduates are unemployable. I'm very sure they didnt do Dragnet and Workforce tests during their own time!
3-Guys who are already working, applying for jobs which they will later find out after passing d tests or interview, that they don't pay well compared to their current job. Thereby blocking d unemployed.
4-Some nairalanders asking questions abt a particular coy but unwilling to tell how they applied!
Drop yours, pls.

Oya ooo, make una comment o . I will still put more
*Banks employing you as a DSA with unrealistic targets, with those consulting firms being third parties, eg ICSL, SOL, VLA.NB: na DSA for degree holders, banking operations for OND/HND.
*GNLD guys showcasing their disguising talents on NAIRALAND. Them no fit catch me.
*you must have experience, 3-5. years. What happened to 0 year experience
*friends & family be asking u, "how is work" when they know u have none.
My eyes don see plenty. I need a job..somebody HELP

The test and all that interview stages pisses me off like kilode... I've skipped some test n did horribly at some....

Hahaha...a situation where u share on nairaland that u got a regret mail and members be asking u "please what is the content of the mail?" Na birthday wishes dem put nah...mtcheeew.

Lol...crazy man.


@OP...You nailed it, especially your last point. You go see thread like 'Accenture Apititude Test' as thread title and the content go be like: "People that have been shortlisted for the Accenture Apititude test should meet/ discuss here'.

'Pls, how you take apply?', a curious moniker would ask.

And no one answers

1)Some companies conduct like 2 tests and 3 interviews just for a position without minding the inconveniences and costs on the part of the applicant..

2) Not getting back to applicants after a test/interview. .#thesilenttreatment

3) having to travel down to Lag for almost all job tests/int.

4) Having to struggle to get a job at the cost of many things only to be given your offer letter with 15k as the salary

5) Having to wait at an interview hall for hours before the interviewers show up...


Will add more later. .There are just so many of them

Lolz...funny but true nah

Another is going for a job test only to reach and notice na GNLD


After an interview, the HR Personnel tells you you're going to hear from them next week, you wait no response then decide to call and they tell you sorry the position's been filled

Especially the 3rd point. Another is someone getting 2,3 offers only to be confused of which one to pick. Perhaps, it could be because of him/her the cut off was high.

Another one is KPMG! Yes! There is no second chance once u fail their test. And to think that most peeps already have them questions, verbatim, they are not ready to change their quaetns...too bad for a multinational coy. How I wish say dem dey see this!

HooxJnr: After hustling to enter a company to see a hr to submit a hard copy Cv, the hr will direct you to drop your cv at the gate.

too bad...lol

I see no reason why coys cannot conduct tests themselves...fmn, halli, etc...kudos jare.

1..Hailing from a core niger delta community and being marginalized when it comes to recruitment.......

2...Writing dragnet exams and not getting to see results immediately to confirm if one really failed or not,then later sent a regret mail.(How am I sure I failed?)......

1. Applying for a position and not knowing what happens to your application, no regret mail, nothing...

2. Receiving a regret mail after 5 years, when you can't even remember when you applied (General Electric and Schlumberger)

3. Ghost Recruitment process example GE.

I remember a Saro test my friend did. It was cbt. The cut-off mark was pre-set. Results came out immediately after the test. Way to go...

babe you're so on point with that first point, 1 test nd 1 interview is just ok.
another point is not being re imbursed t fare for an interview
nd this last point There's Nothing more annoying than it, you pass a test then pass interview but keep swimming in a talent pool expecting to be called anytime to resume nd they're just calling ppl at random for offers, nd you're swimming for 3 months or over ,you can't know how it feels if you've not been there before.

SLB been trying now, they send regret mail within a year, as for GE, theirs is inexplainable

People bragging that they already have a job, that they just applied for applying sake yet they're always on nairaland job section from morning till night looking for job.

1. Friends never mention when the applications were ongoing but will waste no time to publish their locations if you wish to gate crash.
2. Having to suffer the collective fate of being amongst a wrong group during a group interview session.
3. Delaying candidates the entire day, subjecting the to physical and psychological stresses yet expect optimal performance NLNG & NNPC
4. Stampede
5. Job portals making our emails available for SEO marketers and spam mailers at a fee
6. Publishing already filled vacancies for the sake of due process
7. Redundant email links or dead career portals on most companies webpage
8. For the mushroom-like firms with big pay, the gate man doubles as the personnel recruiting officer, if you don't dance to his tune please check the bin
9. Girls run from you like a plague, don't even let em spot your bent heel
10. For indigenous oil companies and few others, its ladies first. Keep that weight appropriately it might just land you the next big job
11. I suffer shaa those years, trying to listen to my lady's heart but she kept paying attention to my purse. Then one day, She left and I paid more attention to the hunt #InAkimbo#

It was fun after all, stories must be told. Be diligent, remain steadfast in prayer and be informed. #ThatsAll
