If the story is true, I don’t see anything wrong in her action. Entry level to one man is pocket change to another. She could take the role and grow past it in a few months. Better she rejected it initially than get trained only to resign in nine months.

So, no crediting the original source? I wonder if many of you Nairalanders can create an original article to save your lives.

I was asked to refer someone for a job in a company in the South East.

I shared this in my network and received a few CVs which I sent to the organization.

I had forgotten about this until a friend followed up with me about her sister's application. I inquired from the Hiring Manager and learned that this candidate was made an entry-level offer of a little over 90k by the company but she rejected the offer. Reason? The salary was too small, she wanted to be paid triple that amount.

Before then, her only work experience was about 15 months in a small provision store as a Sales Associate/Cashier on a salary that was well below 20k.

She didn't have the required experience but she was chosen for her positive attitude and potential to learn.

Recounting how she started her career from little beginnings, my friend was livid. She had become tired of supporting her sister financially and couldn't understand why she will turn down the opportunity and choose to continue leeching on her financially.

After her sister threatened to cut her financial support, the candidate had a change of heart and decided to take the job. But opportunities don't wait, another candidate had been offered the job.

Dear Young Professional,

It's okay to place yourself highly but are you highly skilled for the pay you want? Don't get me wrong, money is very good but there is a place of learning and a place of earning. We learn to earn. If the million-dollar job you want hasn't come, hold the 90k one while learning and developing yourself into the million-dollar talent that you aspire to become.

Companies pay for value, use that small money to make yourself a valuable talent and watch doors will open for you.

Selah!

This is obviously a made up story for engagements. I'm not saying the OP who posted it here made it up but whoever first wrote this story, made it up.
Unfortunately, it's not very engaging otherwise plenty blogs would have carried the story. Still, nice try.

I can relate. I've experienced worse with this Gen Z people. You'll call a candidate who is looking for job and the candidate's phone will be on standby DND. One gave me an excuse that she doesn't like calls. She then went on to say that the recruiter is supposed to text her instead of calling. The one that rejected Salary of 80k because no staff bus and the location is Costain to Marina. Funnily enough, the candidate is not working but according to her, she's looking for a job. They want to earn big whilst doing nothing. Invite them for physical interview and they'll say "can't it be virtual?"

A 90k job for an inexperienced graduate is actually a good deal for a regular office job. People rise through the ranks.

Top managers earning 500k upwards mostly started as graduate trainees. But they showed diligence, loved their jobs, and rose through the rank.

I blame social media for the poor mentality of our crops of graduates today. The fake lives and lies they see being brandished is taking its toll on them. No one would wake-up one day and just decide to pay a naive, fresh graduate 250k for sitting in an office doing next to little.

Take-up the 70k, 90k job and gather experience... In months, you'll be grateful you did. Don't be fooled by the phantom high earners on social media.

i intentionally used the word "issue" i know we love giving nice politically correct words to issues. More the reason why I thought you dont stay in Nigeria because you even know the "trigger" words and how to sugarcoat it.
People want money but they are not ready to work. I have a lady in my team, she is always complaining instead of working. Always has excuse not to deliver her job. I think she is from Russia originally. Her matter done tire me. Funny thing is they have never queried her sef. I so hate it when she comes with her lamba.

Interns at workplace

I have seen many bad practices about interns in this part of the world. Seriously, many interns I know have suffered serious humiliation in some organizations. They are rather seen as errand boys and girls rather than people who should be taught to improve in the career.
Interns should be treated as our colleagues, our protégés, future professionals, mentees, our student and people who can support us. We should not treat them as helpless useless people. They have values to add to us as much as we have values to add to them.
An intern once came to my office from Covenant University. He sees me working day and night on Microsoft excel to complete a research work. After a few days, he offered to assist me and I gave him my laptop. What took me 8 days to do was completed in about 5 hours of work. He knows Microsoft Excel more than me. I turned him into my own excel teacher. I owe him a lot of thanks till date.
There’s a great mutual values we can share with interns if we don’t disdain them.
Interns are humans we should dignify. They are resourceful.

Shout out to all interns out there!

Well different organization different problems, the one I am facing is the 2 contract staffs (graduates oo) I have working with me can't operate MS Office,
I was given an IT student from Noun who will leave in april, the young lady is the only one giving me rest of mind, her reports are perfect almost zero errors when I read through any thing she does, I am practically dreading when she will leave.

They now gave me a Corper last week only for me to give that one a memo to type and she was telling me it's been a while used Ms word, I was livid, I had to ask how she did her project, she said it's café. by fire by force she did it with the help of one of her other collegues.

Three of them use smartphones oo and are Facebooking Instagraming and all.

I have worked with wonderful Corpers, IT students even contract staff in the past and they were so wonderful on the job, I just don't know what happened that it's my unit they are posting all these people to.

Anyway I can't complain, na so govt work dey be sometimes.

The Gen-Z corper posted under me is a professional candy crush player. She no wan do anything. She just came to rest and chill. Me sef dey encourage am, na she dey run small small errands for office after all we can't be paying her for doing nothing. After her service, I will request another corper, if them no help,na to get any serious intern. I can't come and kill myself.
