I Got A Good Job I'm Not Qualified For.. by Nateben(m): 6:42pm On Oct 05, 2016
It can only be a Miracle.
I've been jobless for close to 1 year now, no place to go, depression and brokeness.
So, on that faithful Sunday, the very last week of September, my brothers friend came to the house, we got talking and I made mention of my condition, before he left, he took my contact, and told me I'll hear from him.
So last week Monday, he asked me to come to his office at VI, he works with a well known bank in this country, I got there before 10am and met him in his office, he was telling me about the nature of the job, and just as he got to the part of asking how much I would like as my salary, his boss walked in to pick a document, and as he was leaving, the guy drew his attention, by telling him that I am the guy for the inventory job, he shook me and sat down, then asked if I like the job, and I replied Yes. He then asked if I was married, I replied No, he asked lots of questions, which I just gave simple replies. At last he asked me to choose monthly or weekly pay, I quickly chose weekly, then he asked how much I want per week, I didn't waste time in saying 30k, he was silent for some seconds and asked if I am good with Excel and I said No. He smiled and said he wouldn't pay me such amount if I'm not good with Excel, he offered 20k and asked me to bring someone who is good with Excel to be collecting 10k per week, with free transport, breakfast and lunch, before I could say jack, that my brothers friend said he has a sister who would do the typing, so his boss got up, and asked me to start on Tuesday and left.

Nature of my job....
They have so many tagged cartons, with big files inside, my job is to write down the tag number on the carton, then open it, and write down the contents, some cartons contain only two files inside, I just write down what is written on the two files...

I come out by 7 in the morning at my Junction, and office bus picks me up, I don't follow them back because I close by 4, and I can wear anything I want to work. On Friday, I was still on my way to work when alert came in, I was payed in full, despite starting on Tuesday...

So, to anyone looking or hoping for a job, be prayerful, God still answers prayers, but I advise you to learn Microsoft Office, full package, it really helps...


Peace I'm out.

I really love the fact that you gave him simple, direct and honest answers. You're an honest person and I think that's why he employed you.





I now believe the saying that problem shared is half solved

Even if he doesn't know excel, one thing you should learn from his story is that honesty pays which perhaps is a quality you lack.

STFU, you jes dey talk any how. Do you even know whether he didn't have the opportunity to learn it? Myself for instance, I didn't have such opportunity and I had been willing to learn it. Its jes now that I have the opportunity, I got my first laptop last week and I got an eBook already, which treats it extensively.
Before the end of this first trimester of my MSC, I hope to have mastered it.

That the Op was this lucky does not mean everyone else would. Any young graduate in this century that does not know how to use basic office tool like Excel does not deserve to be called a graduate. Yes, I just said that! angry

You know not what you're saying. Not everyone was born privileged.

Some people had to earn to cater to basic needs of life.

Computer skills should be the last thing on the mind of a man living from day to day.
