bbdrown: 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.

ABEngine: 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
ARE U SOME KIND OF A POET??

Mine is writing a CBT test, and waiting forever for the result, and then Dragnet sends you a text you got 48.21 as scores, and even send like 2 emails and 1 extra text again to buttress their point like you argued its a lie. Then you find out the text came in when some people have even collected their first month pay for the same position.

Let me share my experience:

I submitted some friends CV in my organisation few days back, after a lot of lobbying, they were ALL invited for test.
1. one of them submitted her CV with an invalid email address (got me wondering why she didnt change it)
2. One of them said i should try to help her influence the result that she didnt write it well.
3. One of them almost insulted me that the notice period was too short.
4. Another one said he doesnt have money for TP
5. Another one came very late for the test giving excuse of rainfall in abuja in the morning (even though i came to the office in the same rain)
6. out of 5 people that came for the test, only ONE of them thanked me for the opportunity.

Gozychuks: When U ask a girl out or trying to be friends with her. And she asks ''What do u do'' and u answer am ''currently job hunting''. Then she loses interest and stops paying u attention sometimes even sees u as good for nothing. That really hurts.
grin grin....now that is painfull.

With this kain grammar and sentence construction how you wan take get work? My dear, Jesus may have to come down by himself to conduct the recruitment process.

You are as much as guilty as the person you are accusing of bad grammar. Nothing really separates both of you
