This is strange.well,you better take the job and keep hunting while you are on the inside.
It's better than staying idle.

If he accepts the offer, what time will he have to hunt for other jobs?

Please reject it. Because if you accept it you won't even have chance to look for another job. Moreover 35k is just 100 dollars a month. That is wickedness. Go get a teaching job instead. Whoever is asking you to accept the offer should go and do the job. Moreover, your transportation, lunch etc has not been factored into the 35k. I bet you, you may end up with less than 15k a month if you accept the job. And some friends and family will be depending on you , thinking you are working . Reject it my brother.

Hello All.

I have been visiting this site as a guest for 2years, but today I had to sign up as a member. I do not intend to write so much, so permit me to go straight to the point.

I graduated in 2017 from one of the federal university in the South and finished my NYSC last year April. Ever since I have been hunting for jobs so to keep body and soul, I have written hundreds of job exams and attended several interviews but none has yielded any positive result yet.

Last month a friend of mine whose Uncle works in a Chinese Steel Production Company told me about an opening in the Marketing department of the company, he told me they were recruiting for the role of a Purchaser and a Sales Executive and advised that I should go submit my CV for consideration.

I did as advised and the following day I was called for a test. On getting there, I met three(3) other guys who also came for the same purpose. The Chinese HR guy came and administered the test and afterwards only two of us passed and were asked to come back the next day for the oral interview.

The next day I went for the interview and after being drilled and asked several questions I was offered the job. But my zeal and interest for the Job died the moment I was told the job conditions and pay.

Working hours are from 7am to 6pm daily, Monday to Saturday including public holidays. All these for a monthly pay of 35k

I was given the offer letter to take home to sign if I agree with the conditions and return it this coming Monday to resume work.

My fellow Nairalanders, would you advise that I take this job offer considering the conditions attached or reject it and continue job hunting hoping that one day favour would smile on me I am confused, please help a brother cry

Please help a brother push this to FP so I can get all the advice I need as much as possible. Thank you.

Chinese ke. Pls run for your life. Their working condition n staff welfare is suicidal. It's not even about the 35k. Them go owe for that one. But the risky job can kill with no insurance.

Re: Accept This Job Offer Or Continue Job Hunting??? by abuhusna1: 3:43pm On Oct 02, 2019
Nigeria is so bleep I am so disheartened. No very good labour law in this country. They are suppose to set maximum working hour to 8 hours and 40 hours per week as obtained in Western world no matter what and any hour above that should worth like 5k per hour.
Baba I take God beg you no collect am cos you will still suffer some trauma in the sense that they will abuse you emotionally, mentally and physically so what is the point. Continue hunting for good job as this kne will take away a good health from you and when you lose your health the wealth from the work you do can not cater for your health.
OK second note if the job ma working distance do am like three months gather experience and apply to other companies hopefully experience gets you job better than result sometimes

indeed Nigeria is shithole, working over 10hours a day, for 35k at the end of the month is crazy, our regulatory bodies are not effective.

My dear, I will advise you accept the offer and continue job hunting, a regular 35k monthly is better than nothing.
It's well.

This kind job will not give you time to hunt for other jobs.

Go into personal biz , don’t waste your time on that .

On a serious note, Chinese are known to be very stingy and wicked. I had the opportunity to work with one of their company in ondo state dealing in the processing of ethanol from cassava. When i was told what i will be paid despite with my M.Sc degree and working time, i spitted. They think african are meant to be slaves. You hardly could find an african man with a Ph.D degree working in their country.

That means, you'd be earning approximately NGN 125 per hour.

This is wickedness given the current cost of living in Nigeria. embarassed

I remember back in the days, I did a ten thousand naira monthly stipend job, but i wasn't paying for transport, feeding and housing. So, I managed and spent two months there before escaping with my dear life. Well, if you know there ain't anything at sight for now, my brother, accept it since it's a marketing job where you'd be on the field scouting for client most part of a day - use the TF they'll give you to go round and don't forget to go alongside your printed CV to submit at better places you could like; when the time is right, guy hop out immediately.

You have no work experience and still asking for answers.. If ur skills were indispensable, you would have been hired long time ago. Others are lining up to take that offer. Take the job, gain some experience and start job hunting while on the job.

I’m sure it’s Yongxing steel in Benin city,I once worked there in the same department you got a job,I must say it’s not easy,but take the job to get the experience and move on,talking about the pay before the month ends with side hustle you’d make more,so take the job while you await something better.but working with Chinese no easy ooooo.

Please take the job. Prove yourself worthy of consideration to grow and boost your remuneration. Just start instead of being idle. Devise a means to renegotiate your pay to meet your workload reality and also learn on the job and be open to other bigger opportunities. Remember you are paid nothing while you were idle job hunting

If you are idle at the moment, take the job it will help your resume as you hunt for better opportunity. If I read you right, you probably has only NYSC as your experience since after graduation, take the job. See this as an Internship opportunity to assemble your experience in a practical corporate environment. It's going to take you higher on the long run. All the best.
