| Yet Another Job Test Rejection by Cersei: 11:26am On Feb 12, 2016 |
I'm only making this thread because I'm at my wits end. I consider my self an intelligent young lady who takes on challenges. I've written several job tests but never move past the initial stage even with adequate preparations. I practice tests thoroughly and I do quite well. But the real job tests never pushes my application forward. I have a bsc and msc in engineering with excellent grades. I'm working at a job that pays less than 50k with no future prospect after being unemployed for more than a year. I just got another rejection months of prep for the test. I don't even know if I should quit my job and apply to further my education phd because I'm so depressed. Pls advice nairaland 1 Like |

Be patient, keep exploring other opportunities, dnt quit tryin. Quiters never win and winners never quit. So dnt give room for depression because it's a tool by the devil. To deny one of good things to come. Thank God for where you are and where He is taking you. Put more efforts, re-strategize in job hunting and preparation apparoach. God will see you through. Cheers.

Why should you feel depressed? Because you haven't gotten another Job? Come on! @least you have a Job that gives you cash. Just keep believing and know what you want and never keep trying. I have a Job, but I haven't been paid since december. Not because I love it, but because the experience I am gathering now by God's grace will earn me something tangible few months from now. Maybe few months from now, when I see a vacancy with 3-5years experience, I wouldn't be scared to apply. Know what you want and chase it down hard! 4 Likes |

sis don't quit and always give your best in your present place o work. the company might not have a future but no experience is waste. the experience is vital and you should always tailor you work experience in line with any job you are applying for.... Am sure God will pick our call soon.... |
| Re: Yet Another Job Test Rejection by Folksyharry(m): 2:11pm On Feb 12, 2016 |
You really shouldn't worry that much. Continue with your work and like a poster above me suggested if you don't have plans of being a lecturer then you shouldn't go for the PhD but go for professional courses related to engineering and management. I'm not saying this for you to be complacent but a lot of people will be very happy to be in your position. Continue to search for jobs and one day you will get that job that will meet your aspirations. Good luck. |

It's only a matter of time @cersei You would surely come out good, "Downtime is prep time" |

[size=20pt]You're surely gonna read plenty "don't give up yet" "God is in control" "downtime is prep time" & so many other bullsh!ts  Truth is Nigeria is so f#cked up, the probability of young graduates getting a job is becoming slimmer each day. Getting a job is now like winning a lottery. Go for Your masters. You've got every right to be depressed, if You see any opportunity of leaving this country...RUN! Or if You've got any business in mind, give it a shot. Good luck....[/size] 7 Likes |

Lol... I am laughing because most successful pass through this stage. You will look back at today and have a good laugh at how you were so sad and depressed because of this little challenge. Imagine it, keep dreaming it, keep seeing it and you will eventually have it. You are made for more. Think about it, with your resilience, goal getting mentality and with prayers, do you really think you will be in this stage/ state forever? NO!. So just relax. Do your below 50k job very well and keep applying keep embracing failure and rejection and before you know it, you will land that dream job, that dream deal that will change your life forever. Keep at it sis. We all have been in this stage and some of us are still where you are. We will become better shortly. NEVER GIVE UP. 1 Like |

Remember ; God over everything. Make Him your Lord and saviour if you haven't, faithfully serve Him and adhere to His commandments if you're not doing that yet. Cos when we must have tried our best, WE STILL NEED GOD. Don't give up cos you have a lot of doubters to prove wrong. Its good if you can go for Phd now but if not, just believe in God and keep your head up. Blessed! 1 Like |

I suggest you forget about the PhD since your sole aim of considering that is because you think it will put you in good stead to get a better job. But I tell you it will only push you closer to being a lecturer. Just be calm and ensure you find at least a reason or more why you need to be grateful for your current job. This will enliven your spirit and renew your self confidence whenever an invite comes to write a test/interview. Patient lady,the job will come....consider where you presently as a training ground for something far better!!! |

See you,do u know how many test I have written and got a regret mail, but I never gave up....you need to see the way I use to apply for any vacancy.....and yes I got invites for some...can't count d no of interviews I went for...and do u know some of the jobs I got was not even permanent .....I worked somewhere for 6months, left and did a volunteer job for6months again...did another for 6weeks intern(one nice coy), did another again for a month left again cos I was paid peanuts compare to what I was doing and they wanted to change it to internship for me....na so I take race. Hmm all the while I was still applying oo ..I resigned becos I got a better offer(I tot it was great then) signed offer letter n everything for them to say company they try minimize cost that I should hold on......still holding on till Jesus come. While waiting did a relief role for 15days ....to cut d story short .I sha got a better permanent offer and still have pending interviews o . Mehn am tired of typing....lemme just round it off, but the crux of the matter is Never ever stop trying, failure only makes u better,it gets u prepared and well positioned...do u know (nt hypin myself, it can only be God)I now ace interviews....even my confidence they surprise me ,even test I now pass them(me pass test befor,if I hear). All those rejections/failures and stipends they were giving as salary perpared me for greater opportuinites. You all should just ignore my typos... 1 Like |
