Memoirs Of A Job Hunter by oweniwe(m): 12:28pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
Please Read Me Sometimes when I go online, I see people create posts about how they have been unable to get a job for a year or two and they have become so tired of life to the point that they want to commit suicide. Then they start begging people to help them with even menial jobs or money to set up a kiosk so that they can ‘survive’. These are able bodied people who are graduates and have got skills. What about me? Four years after school, I’ve got nothing concrete doing due to disadvantages that aren’t my fault. So why haven’t I gone online to beg strangers to give me job? How have I been surviving all the years? Why haven’t I committed suicide? I hope you’re getting my point now. I have gone four years without a stable means of income, yet some folks have barely gone a year and they get so freaked up to the point of running online to beg. That’s very sad and pathetic. My purpose of writing this memoir is to encourage and give hope to the hopeless and jobless job hunting guys out there and other folks who have similar challenges I’m having too. This is not fiction. Everything here is 100% real. Somewhere along the line, I might sound somehow ‘hopeless’ but you should overlook that as it’s fairly normal when talking about tough situations one have gone through. The crux is… if I have endured all these without going bunkers, you too can pull through without breaking into pieces. With due regards to Chapter 11… When James O. put the Facebook status about Scambassy's membership card, as someone who is always straightforward, I put up a short comment about my experience with the church. Becky later sent a P.M expressing shock that "such arangee miracles really exist". Then I felt an overwhelming desire to write something again. I promised her I'll write a memoir about it. Initially, I didn't know where to start until I saw the two years old Keystone Bank thread on nairaland and began to recall my job hunting experiences. I thought about the GNLD guy and somehow compared him to Scambassy people. So I started typing. I felt very uneasy at first about typing out all these personal stuffs for the world to see but then I remembered Adam's being ashamed of himself before his creator... I mean, nothing hidden will remain hidden forever. We are all going to give account of how we lived our lives, everything we did and every thought we thought anyway. So I typed on and over time, the feeling of shame went away. Many people think I'm weird. They don't understand why I came up with something, why I did this or didn't do that. Every time, I have to go an extra mile to make myself clear before people will understand. Sometimes I feel good to go the extra mile but some other time, I wonder if I'm from Jupiter, that's why folks can't understand simple things about me. So... I decided to put some of the facts here. Cheers. 2 Likes |

oweniwe:Lol. Bro, pardon me. My comment wasnt meant to be derogatory in anyway. I read it well, and i know its real, its your experience, its your "story" and i like the way you're telling it. Thats why i said i think you'd make a good motivational speaker. As for the unemployment part, i said tht cos obviously, d experience is from when you were job hunting. Long and short is, i meant unemployment has given youths alota funny experiences tht we all can tell as stories... real stories, not fiction. So still, welldone 1 Like |

Re: Memoirs Of A Job Hunter by Moyarh(m): 10:37pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
oweniwe:Truee. We must always always be thankful. About the job thing, well several possible reasons. You spent alota time reading so you know alot about alot, and would likely have found something that interested you that you felt if you invested your time in (instead of chasing jobs) you'd do well at it. . . Or You mentioned you've been writing since 07, which means you have interest there and you've developed it as a strength, so you decided to develop it further and turn it to something fruitful... Or You decided to just re strategise and map out something different to invest yourself in... Or You can just tell me/us the real reason (s) |
