Seriously, job hunting in Nigeria could be so tasking, disappointing and altogether frustrating. How can anyone explain to me a reason behind a circumstance where a prospective job seeker applied for a job, sent an invite for interview but was subsequently told that the recruitment into the position has been put on hold indefinitely. In addition, the company in question wished the applicant success in his job search and career.

This actually happened to me and I didn't find it funny at all. What could have been responsible for this?. The company involved here is a multinational company of good repute. Though they apologised for the inconveniences caused but I suspect something went wrong and I find it unconscionable to say the least.

Has this kind of scenario happened to anyone on this platform?. Please let me have your take on this. Thank you.

Always frustrating......

opp

When you get the job, this stuff will become good memories. I assure you.

I Feel Your Pain Bro

Sorry bro such is life, consider yourself as one of the victim of "man no man" syndrome in Nigeria best of luck though you really need it.

Dem don give am to their family member.

Very frustrating I tell you, it's just too bad.

no

Lord..... why? Have mercy on us in this nation called Nigeria... in Oritsafemi's voice....we will keep praying to God He make Him come show us the way.

The HR don sell the slot....

Blame it on the Presido. Dollar and Naira aren't best of friends. Fuel scarcity and upsurge in fuel price has aggravated the matter

I feel your pain, job seekers go through hell in nigeria

Multinational Companies are not always Multibillions companies. The economic condition caused it.

Have said it before but will keep repeating it that schooling is a waste of time and money for average Nigerians.

Whats the essence of paying 500k a year (x4 years) in an higher institution when you will still graduate and still spend years searching for jobs. When we can invest that 500k and be an employer of graduates.


It's high time Nigerians accept schooling is not for all

Hmmmmm that's Nigeria for u my dear. @ Op don't give up, God will put a smile on Ur face soon.

On the hand, I keep hearing that so many graduates are not employable and I ask How? Why?.... Until I attended one interview sometime last month See how our graduates were behaving like some mannerless secondary school students. I was like what if this is a Behavioral Interview? Another thing is how we package our CV! A well packaged CV can earn u d job even without much interview. May God help Nigerian youths oooo.

Congrats to me and all Batch A Corp members that will pass out on Thursday! May God favour us all

it's annoying but jes move on...most organizations are having a hard time themselves, most of the jobs u see around lately are mostly biz development related!

life goes on.....

Op..... May the Lord grant you your heart desire

make una go learn handwork una no go gree.

Some Basic HR Interview Questions

Job interviews can be a stressful process and you need to be prepared for anything an interviewer throws at you.

You’re calm and relaxed, mentally ready for the challenge, and even looking forward to the chance to shine.

Use each interview as a learning experience and don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t go the way you had hoped.

1. Tell me about yourself?

Discuss 2-3 of your most significant accomplishments.

Talk about a few of your key strengths as they relate to the job for which you are applying and how they can benefit from your strengths.

Then discuss how you see yourself fitting into a position at their company.

2. Do you prefer working with others or alone?

Your response needs to show that you can work well in a team atmosphere and still shoulder individual responsibility, as well. Before you answer, make sure you know if the job requires you to work alone or not.

“I enjoy working alone when necessary as I don’t need to be constantly reassured of my work. But I would prefer to work in a group as I believe much more work can be accomplished when everyone is pulling together.”

Reminds me of my application n subsequent successful interview with transcorp, appointment letter ready, just to issue to me & then the unthinkable. position on hold cos the company has decided to start on a lesser capacity. was told to hold on for some three months. its over three yrs now of course n nofin from them. bro its painful experience. good news is i moved on n today is not lyk yesterday. don't give up pls.

Very frustrating but bro, don't loss hope yet, your's is closer than you thought.

hmmmn....really bad....Just cheer up.....yours is even better, some didn't even qualify for the job......useless requirements from companies such as age, grade, etc...
God help this country

Yes. It happens atimes when a company decides they no longer

1. need to employ an outsider and revert to internal advert.

2. Have the need for that position, maybe due to lack of finance.

3. Maybe one Oga has brought his cousin from somewhere to fill in the position. Depends on the company tough.

4. When a company decides to hire an experienced person instead of a trainee for the said position.

5. Etc.

Happened to a friend in 2007 in NLNG. They told him to forget about the job.

It's All The Same. People With Handwork Suffer Poor Patronage If They Are Not Connected.
Na To Just Dey Pray For Favour From Allah

Bro its so annoying, the economy is in a mess @ the moment, I think this is the wrong time to be a job seeker, so many people are loosing their jobs and that has made me wonder if there is hope for job seekers.
But God is aware shaaa.

.... Nigeria has lost it all..... It will get better

God punish Buhari for what i suffered yesterday.
