manny4life:
Which U.S. are you talking about? In which state will such happen? You think companies do not have grooming polices? Keep deceiving yourself. The company did not have to disclose any non-work related information. Can you lift 25lbs is a job requirement not a company policy, for instance policies regarding grooming and appearance, music in workplace, company benefits, etc are disclosed conditioned upon acceptance of offer not during the interview phase.
Yes and you live in all 50 states and have attended interview in all companies in the UShuh

Stop making a foöl outta of your self here man...

Yes most companies if thats a big thing for them even have these informations in their application process... Yes.. You dont have to believe it .. Talk to the attorney near you..

Most sympathizers with this Lady, I believe have let their feelings run along with them. Some will even make it out into a case of discrimination against blacks when in fact it is nothing of such. Most jobs have specs that include a strictly regimented style of outward appearance including the styling of the hair. If it was deemed that she failed on that front, the recruiters are left to decide her fate, which they have done. Besides it was mentioned in the feedback she got that she will not be able to satisfy their clientele with her appearance, once again the interest of the company won over hers. It happens all over the world. I'm sorry she lost a job but people lose jobs everyday because of the smallest of nuances or under-qualification. It's a cold world, if she can learn to adapt and stop playing victim, I am sure she'll make headway.
I see where you going with this but...

The company made a mistake or well i dont know if i should say that because i wasn't at the interview.. But anyways the company should have advised her of this requirement during interview.. Usually in interview they go over all of this with you... Like can you lift 25kg? Can you stand for 35 mins? Can you lift pull. ...kg.

Then personal grooming, no tattoes (some employers) , piercings bla bla bla..

If at all the comapy didnt advise her of the braid stuff and she had her braid on during the interview... Well i don't know if UK but in the US... She would wash away her old pot of soup and get ready for vacation to chill out in Chile grin because she have a ground for a discrimination lawsuit..

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Between A Multi National And Lecturing Job by Badgers14: 11:16am On Nov 25, 2015
Abyam:
I'm married with 2 kids. I lost my job 3 years ago when my company was restructuring.
So I know how tough it is to be jobless especially with a family that is looking up to you for provision.

On the 15th Nov. God blessed my hustle and i got an offer from one of the high institution in my state as an assistant lecturer. I was very happy when i collected the offer, it rekindled my hope for the future because i have longed to become a lecturer since i was in school as it will give me opportunity to upgrade my certificates and to even study to Phd level with abundant of scholarships at their disposal.

But events took another turn this week when i was called by a coy i attended it's interview 2 years a go, they sent me an sms inviting me to come and meet their boss for final stage of the interview, to cut the story short....... i was offered another job with a mouth watery pay 3x the govt job, i'm to resume work on the 11th of January 2016.

My delimma now is to choose between a job with average pay(lecturing) while career growth is gradual or go for the money with opportunity to travel to other countries and a world class exposure.

Please Senior Men in the house advice me, i need the money but i'm worried because where i was working 3 yrs ago i was well paid, things were moving smoothly but when the time came to downsize, it can take anybody, matured advice gentlemen!
I would have said take the lecturing job but considering the meager wager and they often owe them months of salary... But again, how strong is the other coy? Do they have history of mass lay off? I would take the other multinational job, take the money, enjoy the experience and save for rainy days.

Think abt this also, you could use your experience at the multinational coy as a lecturer but that doesn't really apply vice versa..

Cheers!!!

CareerRe: I Work With A Dead Man's Certificate: I Need Help..please HELP A Nlder by Badgers14: 2:29pm On Nov 19, 2015
db10dtruth:
Fellows I need help.

During my early uni days I got carried away by extra activities which pretty much cost me academically and even if I am among the best in my dept my result suffered, as a result my CGPA was embarrassing to say the least.

Upon resuming 300 Level, a good friend of mine did not resume, after a few weeks I was worried as you would expect so I traveled down to his family's house to inquire since his number was not going through and was told about his sad demise. He had an accident which cost him his life. I was saddened by what had happened because he was really good and was most probably the 4 best student in the dept, strong CGPA, a 2.1, he was really good not just academically but he had pure natural talent and the way I see it was the hope of his family.

On my way back so many thoughts were running through my mind....my result is poor and there's absolutely no way I can improve on that and still graduate with a 2.1 or even a 2.2 so I made a resolution.

On getting to the hostel I reflected on the whole thing and decided not to tell anyone but our course adviser. My friend was not the type that socialize, some persons in the dept don't even know him that well. He does all his things low-key, he's a very private person so I made an arrangement with our course adviser where I managed to convince him that it will be a shame if he's hard work is allowed to go to waste and amount to nothing, as usual with financial persuasion he allowed me to write his exams, I wrote both our exams until graduation where I graduated with a 3rd class and him a 2.1.

To cut a long story short, I did a change of name and began using his result; all this without anybody's knowledge but me and our course adviser.

It was very complicated but somehow I managed to use his result and even studied abroad with it, got my masters and other professional certificate before I got a 6 figure job in Lagos and came back home.
Ever since I got back I have been doing really well for myself and I have gone as far as taking good care of his family financially as well as training his siblings in school and presently sponsoring 2 in the university. I rented an apartment and bought his dad a car, I know it will never suffice for what their son may have done but I'm only trying the little I can to compensate for their loss as well as for pretending to be their son without their knowledge.

About 8 months ago I met a girl and we fell in love, we've been dating and 2 months ago I pooped the question and she accepted. We've been making our wedding arrangements but ever since I feel I have been hiding my real self from her and decided to tell her what I did many years ago. Initially there was no reaction but then this week she came to me and said she cannot get married to a fraud and gave me back the ring.
I'm scared and confuse she may ruin everything, she may reveal my secret which obviously will get me fired and most definitely a jail time. I don't know what to do, I have tried to reason with her and have done way too many explanations but she's not bulging. I don't want to go to jail and I don't want to lose my job. I'm really confuse. What can I do to change her mind or make her not to tell on me or get me fired or even worse go to jail?

Please I need help, real help please....you guys should share your wise words. I can't tell any of my friends, I can't tell anyone about my secret, this is the only place I can pour our my heart and seek advice.

I am dying inside. I have gone through a lot living this life of lie and its so hard but I cannot come clean, not now maybe not ever.

Assuming your story is true..

Pray to God to forgive you..

Do NOT TELL YOUR Friends family..
Their believe would be that you might know sth his death..

Try reason with your girl... If she no gree..leave her and move on..jf she tells anyone, deny the story as false..

Lesson learned.... There are stories that are never to be told...

Ma broda, am not a moral judge, who am i to judge youhuh Again, if this your story is true, your friend must have forgiven you atleast for taken care of his family they ways you said you did..

Again don't forget, Abraham did deny his wife at a time...
So again, do not tell your friends family ( it will cause more harm than good) and deny the story if your girl tell anyone else and keep your hand clean.. Keep your head up...
