Instead of her to show the face so the real owner can coman claim him now before she goes too far

SlimCupid:
Exactly my mind. Everyone wants experienced employees, even when they're advertising for internship positions, with no company willing to take a chance on just knowledge. I've got a bachelor's in Applied Geophysics, an Msc in Geoinformatics, and NEBOSH, with nothing more than an Internship at Shell for experience, and yet, no calls after a gazillion applications. Not that I feel entitled or anything, but still. Great job you're doing on here babe. More grease.

I'm amazed these days when I see so called internship openings still asking for 2 years experience, I guess they've forgotten the meaning of the term,

So I dropped my notice of resignation on 11th September, 2017 and all hell seemed to break loose in a sense. Immediately Personnel passed my notice to my direct boss (who is the Managing Partner and son of the overall boss), he called me to his office for a meeting.

He asked me why I was leaving and all. I told him my reasons (none of which included pay, because, unknown to me, he had called my best friend, who also works in the same firm but has now moved to Canada for masters, to find out why I was leaving and that one was talking one nonsense that it was pay) and stated that nothing could change my mind, as I had carefully planned my exit for about a year, so there was no going back.

So why did I leave?

1. No clear career progression: the business is set up to perpetuate the overall boss and his kids. It does not have a plan to raise successful and distinguished non-family members.

2. There is no motivation for performance. Pay is poor and comes with the attitude that they're doing you a favour. There are no incentives. To add to it, they started cutting the already meagre bonuses. In 2 years I only got a 20k raise, despite being one of the star associates in the firm, quote and unquote.

3. The attitude, words and action of the overall boss to his subordinates is one I cannot stomach for too long. It is confidence draining and not good for the pysche. I believe a man's true character is revelaed in how he treats people of lesser status/standing.

I had wanted to quit about a year ago, but I didn't like how just a year would look on my cv, so I reckoned that two years was a decent time and decided to tough it out. Plus, I was working on a major case that I needed to see to conclusion, lest I be perceived as sabotaging the business. Concluded that in June, then I hit the streets.

Getting a new job was almost so easy ( though I was scared at some point). Over the past two years, I have gained like five-years worth of experience, so it was easy to get the attention of serious law firms. Job hunting did come with its own drama. A firm called me to come pick up my offer letter, after acing the interview; only for them to go cold on me. Till today, I heard nothing from them. Looking back, I'm thankful they didn't get back to me, because some big guys in the profession came knocking and I was all too glad to accept. Tomorrow, 16th, I resume with another Tier 1 Law Firm.

Lessons learnt;
1. At every point on the job, keep creating and adding value. That's what would stand you in good stead in the market.

2. Always have an exit plan else you become stuck.

3. Your confidence is your greatest asset as a professional. Guard it jealously. Most people will rely more on the confidence with which you put your points across than the merits of the points themselves (I might be wrong on this).

4. Keep the big picture in mind. Don't be carried away by the occasional peanuts designed to keep you stuck on the job. I had to drop my beloved offical car. No harm in short term discomfort for long term gain.

I left when the ovation was loudest. The admission of my bosses is that I'm a sound and hardworking lawyer, whom they would have loved to keep on. The boss prayed for me in conc. Yoruba language, you know those "ijinle" prayers right?

Were the two years worth it? Definitely yes!, in terms of experience and getting a peep into my potentials as a professional.

Would I want to do it again? Not sure o.

SAN of life, congratulations!

Scam ppl,na everyday una dey advertise this same position

Someone mentioned me here and somehow I'm just seeing the mention. I'm sure you've made your decision but lemme say, so after blocking your state brother's chance and getting ptdf scholarship, plus that fine course Manchester gave me that year, you want to dump the scholarship @DanXplore
Oya coman answer me

OP, don't say you're getting married, actually 'my family and friends are marrying a wife for me' is more like it.
Noone says 35k can't survive a family, we're only saying it's hard and that's why many of such people burden their friends and family with their financial needs.
For instance, your best man that paid for your 16k suit, if he was running a family on a 35k salary, would he have been able to pay for your suit?
You want to still start phd next year and maybe you'll be preparing or having your first child then.
Brother forget confidence and face reality, if your wedding is already this simple and you can't finance it on your own (or at least with only minimal outside support), you'll be needing a lot of help financing your family.
I know y'all will say I'm a hater but there's really nothing to brag about in this your wedding plan.

Sapiosexuality:
I'm saying the old timers here seem to have a gang and somehow find interaction with the new ones boring and possibly belittling. Human nature.

Offcos this isn't true

Jamean:
Home Sweet Home.

This used to be home; job vacancies, discussions and bonding. Bring back my home. I want more children

Until y'all abandoned your children.

damkola:
Another question,will rewriting make this result null and void...or will the 2 results be valid?

If you rewrite, both results are valid

Instead of the mumu governor to pay attention to education and other things that will develop the state, it is operation bust that is his biggest problem.

Oh my dear lautech....

Op, I'm confused on your behalf, you just said you got a job right... When you get a job, you're supposed to be given an offer letter which states all conditions of employment including salary and all other benefits so I can't understand why you're asking us about the pay. If you haven't been given anything like that, then you haven't gotten a job, so you should continue with your training, BTW ppl here say the training is worth it so carry on.

Deepwater and majekdom, I'm forced to say that you both are the most childish adults I've seen in my lifetime. You go about every entry level thread arguing about knowledge of oil nd gas and claiming experienced.
I'm not disputing the fact that you know or that you're experienced but if everyone who knew as much you both do act like this, we'll never make a headway with any thread on nl. Or you think you both are the only ones who know stuff about the oil industry??
You both should grow up already.
I wonder how you even have so much time to banter online considering you're supposedly 'gainfully' employed, your employer probably isn't making you work hard enough for your money.
If a child is acting like a child, an adult doesn't have to decide to follow suit.
I had to say this cos I'm really tired of seeing both of you's argument littered all over nl, where we're looking for reasonable info.
Lemme goan sleep in peace now.

You're about to be scammed

chaiks:
thank you well for this.I v been wondering because I saw 68 k online when I googled it.please do you know if they have centre in enugu and whether people do take it there.tnks

Go to ielts.britishcouncil.org
All the information you need is there.
I don't know if there's enugu center btw but you'll find that info on the website.

chaiks:
please anybody here billed to write ielts exam in Enugu?.i am in Onitsha and want to register in a nearby centre.again ,I saw 68000 as d current price of d exam but when I called one of their agents from d number I got online, she said 75000.please put me tru guys.

Don't call any agent and don't let them scam you. Ielts is 68000, everything you need to know is on the website. Also it's very easy for you to register and pay by yourself, all online. So get to work. Materials will also be provided for you to prepare by British council after you have paid.
I'm sure the 'agent' you called doesn't work for British council.

mcpat:

danchuzzy:
Sorry... but where do you worship?

I'd rather not say, I mentioned earlier that it's not a church competition, i'm not a fan of denominationalism.

Happy birthday Ferdyboss, finest of his kind...SOAR!

Analee:
bros lik u stil a learner,i know uve nt seen it n ds fashion,its strange to u becos u go to church wer dey speak plenty grammar.bt wil encourage to giv it a try n watch God's manifestatn n life,anointing is nt grammar,leav al these churches wer dey speak plenty grammar,no result,dey collect u tithes n offering yet dey cant make good use of it,to empower d church members,there is nobody dat comes to OPM n go bak d same,go n investigate.no b noise,lemme js pause here.

Sorry dear,its not a church competition.
In my church, we don't speak plenty grammar, we also care less if you pay your tithe or offering, we just tell you God's expectations of you, but we don't pick water spirit and whatever prayer. We just live for God and do His will and His power is made manifest in our lives with testimonies, we also care for your soul and spiritual welfare above all; we are also encouraged to work hard at our secular jobs/lives and do all that is required of us to succeed in life.
no we don't spend all our prayer time praying for deliverance cos God cares for His own.
I pray that God will reveal Himself to you, like His real self so you get out of all these bamboozle.
Remember, i'm passionate to see you succeed, even as your soul prospers.
