AGManuel: Bro sorry to quote you. But I’d give you my own piece, Cos your case is touching. Please don’t get offended and take this as constructive criticism or advice. Firstly as an IT guy, or even every one has general knowledge of basic softwares. That’s doesn’t sell again. You stated to be into SEO, digital marketing. That’s more of social media influencing type of stuff, which is generally a gamble these days that anyone can dabble into. I don’t know how good you are with photoshop and illustrator but if don’t mind post your Instagram, so we’d see your works. Back to being an IT guy, your description is vague I’m sorry to say this bro. There’s various fields. As an IT specialist, are you into database management, cyber security, networking, software development, data science, it goes on and on. And the opportunities are limitless, fam. But you can’t be vague. As an IT specialist, what certifications have you taken? I’d love to engage you in this convo bro. 2 Likes |

[quote author=AGManuel post=79497614]I write this with tears in my eyes but I won't cry because a man is not supposed to. If really I was such a bad person , I hope to change and live a better life. But to deserve unemployment because of a past situation I found myself in which I couldn't help, I think it's too much for me to bear, but what do I know? maybe I deserve to be unemployed. But if I tell you I'm not depressed, I'm lieing . Last year I got a marketing Job with a bank few months after my NYSC when things were extremely hard . Even transport money to go for the training was hard. On the first day of training, on my way home, I lost my phone which was the only thing of value I had then. Safe to say I began the Job phoneless , cashless and frustrated . Even money to buy bank wears and appear smart or serious was a case . No transport for work, no phone for my work and marketing, no clothes to wear, I'll leave out feeding coz I could control that with starvation or one square meal. My mom was only able to raise small cash for me which most times didn't last a week, transport to and fro was 400 naira, a plate of food was 300, before I get transport for marketing , airtime and transport to call and bringing customers to open accounts and running around on the job which was money intensive, anybody who worked a as marketer before can relate...all these with a huge target of 30 accounts to open and a target of 3 million to bring to the bank.. At least I'm expected to spend 1k a day on the Job which I have not been paid. Remember it was my first month and most banks don't pay in the first month, it's in the second month they combine your salary and pay. Pay was 35k. I was just frustrated. All these struggles manifested in my performance coz I couldn't deliver and my first two months was a mess coz some days I just couldn't go to work. Sometimes I came to work late coz I had to look for transport money in the morning. Being able to come to work and survive was my main concern then, I fell sick many times out of starvation and it affected my Job. On one occasion or two the Branch manager assisted with stipends when I complained to her about my struggles. Most times the stipends only lasted a day or two but It was a life saver for me coz there was no other option, at least I was able to come to work and eat the next day. Fellow colleagues couldn't help, nobody could, I dropped shame one day in the board meeting and asked for help for we the new staff and how hard it is for us to keep up with the Job. I got nothing. Not too long after, I resigned to pursue something else . I traveled. Only for me to come back after 8 months for another bank Job interview and when my former Branch manager was called as a referral, the one I complained to about my struggles and reasons for my underperformance , the same one who assisted me sometimes and this was her reply "He's unserious, indiscipline and unfit for the Job. I was not supposed to hear that but the interviewer put it on loud by mistake and I heard that part before she quickly put the phone off. Immediately I knew I wasn't gonna get the Job. It hurts me so much, dad is no more, mom a widow, siblings in school calling me day and night for money being the first son and bread winner. If I'm unserious and irresponsible, I can change & become better. No matter the circumstances I faced, I can't make excuses for that. But if I was such a terrible person to deserve unemployment . I let God be the Judge. The interview happened yesterday. I'm back to the unemployment table guys. My advice to every young hustler out there is to do their best on any job they find themselves no matter the circumstances. But my prayer is for our pasts not to deny us our future bread. We go make am last last. Bro, this was my exact story ,when my hussle began, I started with a DSA job for Diamond Bank, it was hell, it was crazy, i had no option than sometimes use customers account opening fund, then reimburse them on payday. please never give up, never there is alot of opportunities out there, today i have a wife, a daughter,and i live in a rented flat,i have two siblings staying with me ,God elevated me out of the struggle. then i only ate once a day, Beans 30 NAIRA, BREAD 60 NAIRA ,1 PURE WATER. sometimes i trek from okokomaiko to underbridge tradefaire complex where my office was. Oh Jesus Please help all those passing through this situation, am in tears as you just reminded me of how ugly and rough it was, i was tempted to relocate to the village by my parents but i refused, if na die make we die ,for this lagos we go make am last-last. Bro i dont know you but i feel for you.chat me up on whatsapp. 08130709923 lets talk more ,and find a solution. [/color][color=#000099] 5 Likes |

I followed your story painstakingly. Your problem started way b4 u started working as a bank marketer. U indicated u got d job not long after your NYSC. Being a poor humble guy, u shld av saved some cash outta your 19,800. *Were u d type dt influenced their posting to d PPA savings will be a mirage? * How about traveling & spending your little allowance going to & fro on frivolous & needless journey? * How about placing needless family responsibilities over dt very little & never enough N19800? First born & bread winner, So what? Free your mature younger siblings to go out there & hustle for themselves. So far u aren't earning comfortably yourself, u owe no one any financial responsibility, only perhaps if your mum is very old. Our background stories are almost d same. Yet, no one depends on eachother. Not even my widow mum. I know what I went thru fending for myself & going to school. I did all manner of jobs to d extent dt I almost derailed from my track. In all, I'll mark that woman's assessment of u...70%. No one prepares for war when already at d war front. You prepare long b4 u gat to d war field. 4 Likes |

35k bank marketing job when people get similar pay by doing nothing at NPower NG? Well, lessons learnt, so try and save up from side hustles before your next formal employment. If you must hear the truth, no company (not even those advising you here) will pay a new recruit an advance salary. It is not done anywhere. The woman failed you in the aspect of empathy, but she didn't as per her role as a branch manager. The beggarly attitude in the bank can also be interpreted as nuisance. Many security personnel in banks got fired for begging clients and staff. The appropriate thing is to turn to family and friends, church members, loan, etc. It is very inappropriate to exhibit that attitude in a new organisation. Many managers will not condone such. This is the truth people won't tell you here. 5 Likes |

I felt compelled to comment because of some other person out there who can learn from these 1. Your attitude to work can truly be assigned the word ''not serious''. I remember when i just got my current job. I squatted in a colleagues house for months. I trek some of the distances just to beat the transport fare. I was malnurished but i kept on. I am still with the company 7 years after.... living a better life. 2. Never complain about your salary to your boss. Best you can do is to develop personal relationship with some persons, and on that note, request personal assistance from them. Employers always see people who complain about salaries as unserious. 4 Likes |

It is well bro, I clearly understand what you are going through, It can be painful. Unemployment has really affected so many graduates (myself inclusive) badly; financially, emotionally, socially and so on.. There is one encounter I had in January that almost made me cry because of this. Happenings like this can lead to depression which will therefore make one start to have negative thoughts. I usually say this - "Tomorrow will be better and as long as one still breaths, there is hope". I will make it LEGALLY. You also will make it LEGALLY. Just believe and keep pushing. One more thing, do remove that woman's name & digits from your CV. I don't know what you did that pissed her off. This is a lesson. Only God can make a way for someone. |
