Back in the day, i.e, when I still had few or no work experience, I usually applied for jobs I had no prior experience in. I would keenly read the job description and then google the required skills for the job for better understanding.

My first paid job after NYSC, some 7/8 years back, got me working with a group of Project Managers who were consulting on Technical matters.(specifically, fiberoptics gurus) During meetings, when they discussed technical jargons which I didn't know jack about, I would go straight to google.

I also worked as a web/social media administrator, when I hadn't done it before.

All your friend needs is trusting that he CAN do the job. Let him first understand the job functions, the rest will be easy.

i went for AIICO's interview, isolo branch about 3 months ago. the interview was so interactive & interesting. when it got to how much i would like to be collecting, i said the company should use their payment structure, but my interviewer insisted i name an amount, i tried to dodge it but the interviewer cornered me everywhere, then i said the company should give the shot. my interviewer smiled @ me and gave me a promising assurance that i would be contacted. my broda, i tell you till today i no hear from the guy o...

Pls wat do u mean by give the shot?

LaurelP:

U shud have named a figure when they forced u to.

bengems:
Whatever!....If you applied for any portion via jobberman, just forget the interview. it's always a scam!

can you imagine? ...each time I applied for a position similar to my area of study through jobberman, I always get interview invite from stupid MEDPRO....gosh! jobberman is old story, made of current job listing, but ur CV will not get to where you intended!

get the knowledge you have longed for by liking us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/tutorialdesk

bro plsss jobberman is no scam ooo

they got me my current job

those medpro guys are just an asss-pian. almost everyone gets an interview invitation from them. it not because of jobberman. they have sent so much messages dat I have memorized their address: opposite Lanre shittu motors, onipan, Lagos

I don't know if someone has ever been in this dilemma before.

A friend of mine just received an interview invite for a Web/Social Media Administrator. He studied Business admin.

Seeing as this post is somewhat more related to computer and web design stuff, the guy is confused. He doesn't know much about web and social media stuff and the job description is kinda intimidating to him.

He's thinking of ignoring the invite but then, its from a big company.

What do you think he can do? Should he forget it or give it a try?

dat job description is two-faced:web administrator & social media administrator

that is actually my field

if u have no idea abt it, U can manage to read up abt d social media part but the web part...hmmmm na dat one be d wahala because u can't just read dat up in days and know how to do it; it's practical

but I am still wondering why they sent u an IV

Create a website and market yourself ,

If you are not doing this for attention

then something is wrong somewhere

LaurelP:

LaurelP:


So wats d web part about?

there are some computer languages u hv to learn: HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL

U might also need to learn Content Management Systems like Joomla, WordPress...

He knows what to do but if I were the one, I would make research about the position but if nothing is coming forthn I would rather remain in my room than go embarrass myself over something I can't relate to...Wondering how he applied though

Mumu, please take ur big dick liking off this page.
How does that contribute to the current subject matter?

So true.I attended an interview there last year.Beside trem church,Anthony. They asked me to bring #12k that they would give me some kits to go and introduce to people.From there I could make some money.I later discovered it was drugs.I wanted to leave.They insisted I pay the money as if it was by force.

went for smtin similar in ilorin. Thing is i didnt even apply for anything. I just saw an invite without d job spec....but being a desperate job seeker....i still went . We did one yeye test where they were asking us questions like "who is d founder of facebook"....d spoiler was wen they started using style to curse us dat whoever leaves will not sucede nd blah blah.....me wey don high go dia b4......i left and found myself in a bar. Am gonna write an epistle about my sojourn about job search wenever i get a job. Till then make i light my switch and use alomo support am

Na by force to take a job u dnt knw shit about? Abeg Nigerians nid to change d way dey tink.

Sorry but as you might have heard, unemployment is rampant. People want jobs so they won't starve.

He is supposed to be an Admin for the company's social media page.. (similar to MOD on Nairaland).. Thus, they would interview his personality and how often he uses social media (Facebook, twitter, google-plus, linkedin, etc), and how well he reply people while interacting online.

There's no harm in trying.

i smell dsame too....dos GNLD are slowpoke...d day i falll into their trap by attending their interview, although i went because it close to my resedence. It was a very funny interview cos at a point d table turn around in d couse of d interview and i stated interviewing them n bombarding dem with Qs out of my anger for their wastin my time.....my interviewer said she make 150k weekly and travle out 4confrenc regularly...but after all her lies, i check her shoes and suit, oboy, we we come interview sef dey more dressedup....bsid she look like person wey go never return to 9ja if she step out of 9ja border

U r damn right 100%

Did your friend actually applied for the job? If yes, he should go, but then, he should try as much as possible yi learn something about it and if no, he should forget it. if not, he may fell for 419ners. why u say so is this, I too have been receiving various text from companies dat I never applied for from, hence this advice.

A job title such as that mentioned by the OP usually doesn't require in depth technical knowledge. The person is actually just meant to manage the content of the company's website.

Give your friend this quote from billionaire and business guru Richard Branson

'say yes, then learn how to do it later'

I have a first degree in Microbiology but I'm presently an Administrative Manager in a reputable firm.

Can he do it? Yes he can!
