naijababe: Too many to mention but I developed all sorts of specialities before becoming a fully fledged engineer. I was a store, office & house cleaner, a burger flipper, a market researcher ( i hated that job, used to develop a headache when it was time to go to work), a retail assistant, etc.

I remember once I had to go to an interview but I could not afford the train fare, rather than miss the interview, I got on the train and sat in the toilet for the 45min journey. Mehn, pesin don suffer sha

Jojo Armani: God!! Dis thread is really scares me. God abeg O o I dont want to go through all dis while searching for Job.

Caracta: Is it just me? I've always believed that it's easier for the guys/men to get a good job than the ladies/women (especially if u can't USE WHAT U HAVE TO GET WHAT U WANT). Some ladies are lucky though (yes i am). I just hope employers will quit this immoral act and have mercy on the good and decent ones.

chucky234: Never had to job hunt as I never really liked working for salaries,back in school I was running some businesses.
I did went for an interview at Nigerian breweries PLC but they did never offered any of us job as the ogas fixed their relatives in the ten advertised positions after wasting our time and brain on a written interview conducted inside the company's Iganmu office in Lagos.
After that I never bothered about applying for job as I gathered my business skils and set on a journey,I was already familiar with the business scene because in my final year in 2004 I was selling puppies online for some pet companies in the US and was receiving between $300 to $500 weekly as commissions paid via western union.
2005 I started working as a commodity broker online and made great contacts some of which include top rice companies in Thailand,India and Pakistan,Sure King Petroleum Corporation in China,Agro companies in India as well as cement companies,made cool cash but lost them when I ventured into Bonny Light Crude Oil brokerage.
Its was hell for me as the BLCO thing is saturated with fake people,I have since been importing BB,iphones,laptops from the US to pass time.

saintgwizard: Just want to correct an impression.Am a manager with NB plc and I got the job on pure merit and God grace.-If did not get the job, don't conclude other that did got in through the back door.

Every day his morning activity was to go to a near by mechanic, gist, hail guys coming to fix up cars pallies wif dem n finally may b lucky 2 get some change from those guys. In the evening he always go to d bar to chill ova a bottle of beer he says its relaxin afta d days stress.

One day he went to d bar saw a guy sitting allalone and he decided to buy 2 bottles of beer for himself and d stranger with his transport inclusive not minding to walk home after d drink, the stranger was supprised. To cut d long story short afta much gist and joke over d bottles of beer he told d stanger am jobless but I jus lyk comin here 2 feel wat it feels lyk relaxin afta a hectic day.
