Hmmm...Amicable09, "backpack to briefcase"

Lol. I'm just seeing this!

Thanks

It's been exactly 2 years, 9 months, 3 weeks and 6 days since I graduated from the prestigious Federal University of Technology, Nairaland. I was all smiles when I got my NYSC posting letter because I was miraculously posted to Lagos State. While in camp, I was the leader of number 6 platoon. I made friends with a few people even though my melancholic temperament got in the way a couple of times I tried initiating conversations because I suck at having to start convos, for I fear I may be ignored or worse still humiliated. How then was I able to lead my platoon members you ask? Simple! I possess choleric traits as well. So, it will be safe to say I'm a MelChlor.

Meet Audu, a fresh graduate from an indigenous University where he bagged a degree and two awards. He's a member of two professional bodies and has flair for programming but his oral and verbal English is just a little above average. Since the days of 2go, with him constantly chatting with friends and abbreviating words with the excessive use of slangs in communication, his communication skill crippled. He'd rather shorten the spelling of words than write them in full. This was the case with him while submitting CVs to companies locally and internationally.

Three months ago, he sent his CV to a professional contact he met on LinkedIn - a Human Resource Professional, after three weeks of not hearing from his contact he decided to send her a message. When she told him she was yet to receive his mail, he was somewhat disappointed. A few questions from the HR to ascertain whether or not he sent his CV to the right email address revealed why he had not heard from any of the companies he had been applying to all this while.

Let's look at the questions she asked him together and his responses also. It may reveal something to you.

* On what date did you send the mail? April 9.
* What was the subject of the mail? Uhm... no subject.
* Was it sent from your mail or from someone else's? 4m mi own, audu.badoo@gmail.com

That information was enough to know where the mail most likely was chilling - in the junk folder!
One sight at the mail after she scanned through her spam folder and she knew despite having a well formatted CV, he lacked finesse and didn't look 'ready' for the task ahead.

However, he was invited to her office for a chat on Wednesday.
Purpose of The Visit: To teach him how best to compose a professional email.
*******************************************

I believe out of that meeting something good will come out. I'm optimistic , I don't know about you.

Why have I not gotten an invite since I started applying for jobs online?
The answer isn't far-fetched. Let's look for it together.
*******************************************

How did you feel when your friends got an invite and you didn't?
How did you feel when after two months you heard nothing from your dream company even after meeting the criteria?

doctorfunmi:
We are set...

I can tell, thanks for being set Dr.
In a few hours we will get the ball rolling on the avenue.

LastMumu:

Network is slow tonight. We'll start the show proper tomorrow.
Welcome on board!

izutex007:
@OP you are spot on.
Leggo!!!!

Thanks Izu.
Get ready to type all your words in full I'll be challenging every poster on this thread to do so
Ready for the challenge? I am!

yorex2011:
Prefer my backpack any day though

Lol. Yorex I'll break your head with my biro ooo
You must carry a briefcase soon

davide470:
Yes, we are here!

You are welcome.
Thanks for signing up.

I have long wanted to start a conversational type of thread where job seekers and young career minded guys can come in to learn and discuss about the corporate world. Every time I look around this section what I see is beyond me and I've had the privilege of relating with very bright and brilliant minds on here. It saddens me though that I don't have the wherewithal to create a thread for vacancies but I am consoled seeing the many other threads by HRs and other well-meaning nairalanders who daily update threads with genuine adverts of which we can boast of a lot of beneficiaries of the beautiful sacrifice judging from the testimony of Joblanders weekly.

Reality is, not everyone of us can contribute in that measure but we can come in here to learn skills that are timeless which will prepare us for the journey or fast track our journey for those who already are on the rung of the ladder to becoming professionals in their fields.

The objective of this thread is to foster professional relationship not romantic relationship please , however if from professional convo it progresses to something ... , who am I to interrupt? , I will just give my blessing and the ride will continue. It's a series after all to promote 'soft skillset'.

So what are we waiting for!?
Come in and register your presence.

Thank you.

Journey with me as I take you on a ride to BUSINESS COMMUNICATION AVENUE!

karleone:
Amicable09, Abimbex007 and Ksstroud, who introduced you to Nairaland?


My friend usually laugh out loud whenever he's on NL and he tells me stories from NL. Didn't care about it then. But I fell in love with NL when I was about going for Service and needed to know things to buy. Google referred me to NL and after that NL fell in love with me.
Still miss my NYSC B14 thread. Those guys and ladies there made me NL journey a wonderful one.

Uhm... well, I first registered when I needed info about Uni after my post jamb or so. I met with a couple of guys seeking admission into same institution with on this platform. So to ask questions and get better clarification on cut-off marks and all, I registered.

But in 2015, a friend I met after an aptitude test made me remember my account with NL as motivated me to become active again. Now, I'm more active than my motivator .

LastMumu:
Say because your network service provider ban you from calling someone abi?

You know what I mean Be fruitful and multiply

walexsho:
Both Employed and unemployed person may become jobless. Don't take this too personal, I expected someone to ask why I used the word Jobless. I was highly impressed when I came back to see a post that is beneficial to everyone. this should be a job vacancies section and should be an information center for new opportunities that will fetch the unemployed source of income, but reverse is the case. I've only been an observer on this thread for a long time and I've never seen anything beneficial other than the shopkeeper question asked by someone

Lol.
You so aren't serious!

When you stop being an observer, you will have sth beneficial from the chatroom.

karleone:
You say what
He lost #1,000. #800 in cash and #200 in goods sold.

Oya see it this way: Assume d shopkeeper had only #1000 note in his drawer before the buyer came......The buyer comes up, gives the shopkeeper a counterfeit #1000 which the shopkeeper uses in collecting a change of #1000 from his neighbor John to give #800 to the buyer, keeping #200 (real cost of the goods bought) in his drawer. The total money in his drawer now is #1000 + #200 = #1200. He has not lost any money at this point. But his neighbor John comes up to complain abt the fake #1000 and the shopkeeper issues anoda #1000 note to John, destroying the counterfeit. Money left in his drawer is #200. Note that he had #1000 and his goods (worth #200) before the transaction. After transaction, he had only #200.
Thus; Money lost = (#1000+ #200 worth of goods) - (#200 balance in his drawer)= #1000

Happy Birthday Tolutweety. More glorious years

Lol. Thanks for the lecture Karl
You should know me na, I must have the most different answer

So the answer is 1000 in the end. Cool.

Philomath1212:
lol
I've forgotten you're the buyer.
okay o, no finish all the goodies o.
I'm here.

Lol.
Forget me not
My Lero brought another 1000 naira note from his safe and cheated his neighbor . It wasn't my original note o.

Anyway, as usual, I still have the popcorn and groundnuts I bought. You can dip your hand into my goody bag and munch on the crunchy popcorn.

Enjoy!
See you after church service tomorrow.

Philomath1212:
correct
I can't type much jare..
we reason same way..
dunno how people get other figures tho

Lolz.
Why should we get 1000?
Did you follow me to the shop?

BTW lastmumu, this money palava is creepy sef. I think the shop keeper lost only the goods he sold . I've changed my mind.
