3 Myths derailing Job Seekers.

Some candidates complain that there are no jobs around but the few opportunities opened are ignored. Some allow the social media space misguide them in making decisions. Don’t be your worst enemy tailor guiding your life with SM stories.

1. Accepting low salary is slavery.
Don’t let Social media fool you that you shouldn’t accept low salary at entry points. Use this opportunity to gather more experience. I know the economy is tough but remember there are so many candidates out there pushing for same thing.

2. If you have Gap years, shoot down any offer belittling your position and experience.

Unfortunately, some HR practitioners are yet to come to terms that gap years are great learning period.

Don’t let some people’s experience mislead you. Accept this in the interim and use it to re-enter the workspace. We all wouldn’t have the same sweet story. Unfortunately, that’s life. Remember Your story, Your personal journey.

3. Immediately turn down any offer not meeting your expectations.

Look at your career Journey, would this impact positively on your career, if yes! Engage! Engage! Engage to Negotiate and be mindful of what you are negotiating on.

This write-up is as a result of 3 people reaching out to me during the course of 2 weeks regretting their decisions on Job Offers made to them.

Tried as much as I could to reach out to some of the organizations on their behalf with the aim of bringing them back to the table to re-negotiate but the damage have been done.

👉🏽Life is in stages!

👉🏽Take time and plan your career growth and don’t go with the bandwagons.

👉🏽Some come online to sell you falsehood! Own your story!

👉🏽Starting small is not a misnomer!

👉🏽If you can’t earn much now, ensure you are learning much!

Don’t turn down now and regret later and be in the job market to later accept something more lower than was offered a year ago.

I love this but sometimes accepting a little pay when u notice many of your colleagues in same position earn more is depressing and even suicidal if it's same company.. I entirely love everything about the post.
