5 Ways Job Seekers Outsmart Employers by ikorodureporta: 8:12am On Jun 06, 2017
In Nigeria today, job search is becoming a nightmare especially for those above 30yrs & applicants have also devised different means of circumventing this situation:


1. AGE FALSIFICATION: Most adverts call for age range below 30yrs, even federal and state government programs are pegged @30 & 35yrs. What do they expect those above 35 to be doing. You loose yr job in yr 30's & it becomes a nightmare to get another place. These days, employers are even calling for OND holders, leaving out BSc & Msc holders. For these reasons, those above 30years are forced to reduce their age, some by as much as 10years, & rewrite WAEC, and enrol for an OND proram so as to brighten their chances of being employed, or @ least have an internship..


2. IDENTITY THEFT: Working with other people's credential is also common. After a long search for jobs, & yr qualifications aint helping, people are forced to 'adopt' others' names and credentials so as to get employed. So, when employers ask applicants to scan all their credentials & submit online, it may end up with such impostors! Recently, i heard of a man who rose to the top of a govt agency with his late friend's credentials, until the friend's family discovered & exposed him...


3. CERTIFICATE FORGERY: Claiming to have undergone a training you never did


4. FALSE 'YEARS OF EXPERIENCE': Some people have increased the years of their previous job experience so as to brighten their chances of being employed. You work for a year plus & increase it to 5yrs experience on yr cv. Some even go as far as adding non-existent job experiences on their cv. Only a few organisations verify such claims, & to the applicant , it may be a reason you didn't get the interview invite.


5. APPLYING WITH FAKE ADDRESS. A person living in Aj city or Ikorodu, upgrading to a place like VGC on their cv. Why won't the employer consider such for the position? ......& employers hardly verifies such claims!

And why would an employer prefer a person living in a high brow area of town to a person living in a ghetto?

.Hopefully if this gets to FrontPage , you guys all need to be aware of this ,
1. The Earth is actually a flat Disk covered with a Dome (Biblically the Firmament), Gen 1vs 7 , And Nobody has ever left the Planet nor can get in either , its all a Hoax (Moon landing, Apollo mission Everything)
2. Jesus yahusha of Nazareth, Exists /Existed ,and was a black man (Your typical African) ,but media ,and Movies had white washed us all, well I'm out that well , and you can too , please 'Research Flat Earth'
3. The so-called Jews in Israel now are not the 'Real Israelites'they are Aztecs who invaded The Roman Empire then in Israel , scattering the whole is the Jews (Who are black Africans sold during slavery (As the Curse of Detronomy 28) ' we (the Hebrews' are to be bound in chains ,with ships would the heathens scatter thee,' the Bible is our history book ,White other People suffered the way we did in exact replicit of the Bible
I know mostly you'll skip through this ,feels like I'm really wasting my time typing all this cos you would mostly shrug this off, but to those who feel something is not just right , Make your research on what I just Scripted.


Hehehe
Only God knows who z misleading who
Jesus z black, Solomon z black, Jesus z white, Solomon z white

Abeg besides skin color wah z d diff btw black n white ooo..

But hollup come to think of it

When naija pastors be preaching and they say God told them in spirit that David'z mother was a LovePeddler...why didn't God tell them that Jesus and Solomon and Israelites are black

Religion...hmmm...there's no truth any more, just people's opinion that have turned truth overtime
