Mmeenn water don pass garri oh!.. .My own was pretty funny. I'd just left skol, finished up my final exam and was expecting my result. I quickly got to the dept ofx and collected "to whom it may concern" letter. I wanted to start looking for job while I awaited my nysc posting. . .so many things were on my mind. Firstly, I decided to look for sales jobs cos that shld be easier, I quickly prepared a "1-page" CV, oboy! Na only I.T 6-month experience dey there. . . I made up mind to get smthg doing and start making money!. . . .how did it go? . .
I listed some coys where I could possibly be engaged, I later narrowed it down to few coys with close proximity . One day, I woke up pretty early, I'd my shower and dressed up. I'd this 3- in -1 printer lyk that, it scans, prints and can make photocpy, so I quickly make lyk 20 copies of my cv "quite funny I swear". I left home looking like a Banker. . .
I decided to walk to "company x" closest to my residence. I never knew anyone working there so I thought, "these company's drivers can be of help, let me meet them" as I arrived at the company car park, I walked to one of the drivers. I told him I was looking for a job cos I was tired of staying at home and I handed him a copy of my Cv. He replied, "My son too has finished his nysc since last year and still staying idle, this our country self na God go help us." I quickly moved to other drivers but no help seemed coming from them (they all looked so frustrated like an hausa man climbing mount everest) . . .Fast forward to how the game changed! ! ! . . . I need 20likes to continue
See y nairaland needs a 'hate' button. We need an acid button to corrode whatever "likes" trollers/derailers like you bag!

Mine was just 11 months... I could not just take it, I had to take the plunge and resigned. Funny enough after I left they employed 3 people subsquently in that my position they all left. I even heard one young dude left the second day he got the work... I just smiled when I heard (so what I took for 11 months this fella could not hold it for a day) So let's hear yours and reason you left. Maybe someone can learn from that. cheers...

You even tried,mine was 3 months,i simply disappeared, off their radar

I spent just over a year with the company, I still can't believe I stayed that long. Some many irregularities, the terms of agreement were never followed, 10% deduction from a meagre salary for what I can't explain, I was Business development manager, sales Executive, accountant and store keeper all at the same time, coupled with that,the operations manager was always on my neck, salary cut without reason, I could go on and on.

I ended the relationship when they decided to transfer me to the far north and gave me only 3 days notice .Immediately I received the letter, I sat down and composed a very lengthy resignation letter.
The HR dept kept on sending me mails but I ignored them, made up my mind that I will never go back to that hell hole.

So she saw herself as your life source. Most employers will look down on you too, sorry but in 9ja , non uni education Bsc is equals to "functional illiterate". Even ond,hnd are looked down upon talkless of ssce. Sorry,but that's the case. So long term solution would be to get out of the stigma (get a bsc), I know. It requires money you dont have.
You may hav to consider self employment, instead of job seeking . It requires capital too. But a business can grow. Unlike a job where your salary is static.

#last year some1 was desperate for a job above her N30k pay! She is a graduate.

2 weeks. Some two years ago, I worked for a Chinese company during ASUU 6 months strike. The guy that got me the job told me they pay 1k per day but in truth, they start wt 5h. I discovered that after about 8 days of working. You av to work there for 2 yrs b4 they pay u 1k per day. Those Chinese treated us like rags.
You will hear them rant in Ijebu coupled wt pidgin and hausa English; "Me for finish you, You, you no sabi worker, your wayo wayo he too much, Masamasa!". Since then I vowed never to work as a casual staff. I waited for 2 wks only cos that was d minimum duration they pay. Had it bn its daily payment, would av left d second day.

Exactly one month... my boss was one rude Nigga that schooled in the UK where he lost all his manners. On this faithful day insulted my parents (he said my parents are paupers) and I gave him the beating of his life... it took the security to take me out of the building... UBA house 6th floor!
