Neroski:
I really dunno anything about this company but I just want to talk about your emphasis on marketing or no marketing. I totally understand our beef with marketing jobs even me i am not a fan. But i have realised that some commodities actually make sense being a marketer. Like being a marketer of goods that sells easily is not a bad idea. Allow your brother explore the place,let him make his choice. He can always leave the job if he gets it if at d end of the day he's not enjoying it. Let's learn to experiment in 2017,my candid opinion!

Marketing of paint is crazy, I rather advise simeone to market insurance. Either ways, he should try

Let my story motivate you, no matter what you going through, God has not forsaken you yet.

A young man with a big dream, worked for a multinational coy, rose to the mid level as young as 28. Life to me was simply holywood. 5 star hotels, creamy chicks, luxury cars. 2014 I was transfered to calabar, There I met , and married my angel in 2016.We had a wedding that rocked, I granted all her wish. May, 15 she gave a prince, life to me was just pure miracle.

30days after the birth of my son, I received a letter from HQ, we are sorry, we downsizing. It was a joke, I was shocked, can someone please wake me up. Sadly it was reality.

I got home, told wify, we cried together. Her words I never forget, she held my hands and said slowly, baby its gonna be alright.

Family was all I haf, help was coming from east, west and south. I dusted my Cv and attacked the internet, I started getting invites.sometimes I stayed 12 hours in a bus to get to the venue, sometimes GNLD scammers. I wept profusely. I begged God for mercy, please do not allow my enemies mock me.

In lagos I sarted eating in bukas N150 per plate. God why did you allow this happen to me. But in all these trials, i prayed for a miracle. And it did come. I got a good job last year, and got an even better job this january.

Am wiser now folks, do not despair, God isnt finished with you yet. Dig in and soak up the relentless pressure. I learnt a lot of lessons, a lot. In trying times, we all can only do as little as hope and pray, May God hear our fervent prayers this year in jesus name amen.

Guy, are u telling tales or u are serious? In this modern day Nigeria?....chai.
So sorry to hear that.
So why did they invite you in the 1st place, upto for 4times/last stage, jst torture u?
Some tribes and some people are heartless and unrepentant.
So where is the one Nigeria, pls it better we separate into different nations, so that every1 minds everyone's side.
It has happened to me once.
May God surprise you with a beffiting job soonest.

My friend, I am not making it up. It happened. Thanks fir your prayers..

Guys, hear this . I dont mean to incite ant tribal conflict but this is quite sadenning...

Though I had this thought before i embarked for the interview. I went for a coo interview at ogun state. Thats after series of about 4 interviews. I smashed them all. The GMD sent for me and told me. Am sorry young man, we cant hire you. People told me not to hire your people. I felt so dejected. I remained very calm. Thanked him and left. He gave me 50k and I rejected it.

Its such a pity, that we claim to be one..so sad.

Shit place to work. People leave everyday.

Come on dude, you have bee spitting of how a certified black belter or whatever. Take this advise, I was only 28 when I started heading a team of only 4 people, who achived close to that amount you quoted. Fastforward 6 years, the company has left nigeria. I burnt bridges, I made enemies cos of my irrational judgement. I stole millions, and spent them that way. Right now, I have downgraded massively, I wish I can right some wrong. So take a chill pill. You can get fired tomorow, grow up, wake up.

please who is Nigerias number 2?

Firstly, Patrick okukoma you basically ripped a post of LinkedIn, you should be arrested and jailed for this.

Secondly, Don't ever repeat those answers-Recruiters have those answers already. The answer to number 5 make you loose the job outrightly, Be more creative. see below.

Why should I hire you? I want you to hire me for 4 reasons. Holding your thumb, am an innovator, roll over to the index finger am visionary, to the ring finger am a leader and fourth-Flexibility. You can give little stories to back it up. your reasons can vary. please never say I am the BEST.

Goodluck guys.

gnld go soon start disturbing una with sms

firstly, you write very poorly.

Secondly, take up classes immediately. you can learn as you go

Hi Guys,

I woke up this morning with a lot of my unemployed friends at heart and I bring you all a message of hope. yes there is recession, but Nigeria is a land of milk and honey. Keep a positive mind-set.

A lot complain about zero Experience-don't use this as a barrier to limit yourself.
to the rest there are no jobs-again its your mind-set
Many Job sites (jobbermann & co) promise interviews-please don't let them have a penny.

Ask yourself these questions?
i, How good is your CV?
ii, as a beginner what are your professional goals-godfatherisms has a limit it can take you? passion, creativity etc will take you up that ladder.
iii, Apply for only jobs that fit you resume- only you accountant, sales man, HR lol. I apply for less than 10jobs weekly, and am always sure of at least 2 interviews
iv, start from some where- I started my career 8 years ago as a 23 year old intern, the experience I amassed is massively paying off today.
and the most important of all PRAY?

Be an Entrepreneur: Do something, no matter how small. Even when you finally get a job don't stop seeking residual income.

Interviews-when I got my first interview invite, I travelled from calabar to Lagos, the crowd was sickening, more than 100 of us vying for only one position. job search is very competitive, so you have to be the best, practice, practice, practice.

I shared a story of my job loss here, I also shared that of my break through. It is well with all of us and like the popular nairaland slogan, Baba God go answer your call this month.

Guys, Omo I happy die today.

I been put up post of how I no use my opportunity for my first jab wella.

Guys today so, baba God give me another opportunity. I collect better offer for multi national company. ee

Thank You nairaland, Thank you Debbie.

Have faith, keep believing, work hard, work smart.

post the number the number that called you, is it 01 or 0814. and which office are you supposed to report for interview.

Tips: that company was making over 700million per month, from all our 23 offices in Nigeria. you may be one of the people that may take up a posting and supervisor role, or whatever position deemed appropriate. pension, 13th month bonuses, housing upfront.

stop asking this questions and get ready for the job. I was manager in this coy for 5years

wheres the venue for the interview? address and state.

please don't let them discourage you, if you get a job, graduate starter salary is 146k then 120 after taxation.

I just resigned to further my career some where else.

Some 10 years ago, one babe reported us say we dey dope. Na im sars come our room. Open the door. As we dey open door. oboy see knocking with gun. They carry us reach SARS awkuzu keep us. Later we fall out. I spotted one face, cos he as the one wey swear him must Bleep me up cos I used crush words.

After 6 months, devil do am back, but time I dey prepare service, we see am for bad nkoro only am with woman, chineke me, we carry am site. drill am potopoto, my hommie vex blast the idiot belle.

bunch of idiots.

The BDM you would have better called it a marketing. The job description is quite funny

I just decided not to mention the name but if I get the nod here I will immediately do that and also put up the name of the oga himself.

Alright guys, I will have to cut the long story short.
I was called by a consulting firm in LAgos to come for an interview for a regional manager position, We were 30 of us, after the first phase of verbal interview, I was lucky, so they scheduled us for the next interview. When I got there, we were only 2 of us.

To my surprise, they presented us with a paper and a biro and gave us MBA questions. we had under 30 mins to answer the questions. So something dramatic happened, After about 20mins, the results came out and we were given our answer booklets, We happily discussed the outcome, he scored 69 while I made 84. He was like congrats dude-goodluck. he was such a nice guy though.

The final phase of the interview was at the clients office in lekki, so when I got there I saw this my guy again, we had a lot of chit chats before we remained calm and tried to soak up the pressure.

So the Professor Came and summoned me, our cv and answer sheets were photocopied-so he handed me over a wrong copy and guess what, The guys score has changed to 92. Ridiculous. I politely told him, ooh this is not mine.

Ridiculous as it sounds, I don't want to turn this post to an ethnic fight, I never trusted this consulting companies, seems there is something unusual about our integrity in this country. just my thoughts though.

gnld 100% sure

a bigot just pushed this rubbish to the front page to fuel ethnic catacata. Mumu admin

get to Abuja first, look for a petrol station. ask the security, I bet u will be lucky.

but firstly confirm its not gnld

“Late nights with inexcusable excuses".......

wonder who writes stuffs like this

let me ask us all a question? I have a business Manager role to help market a software to schools, with a 100k salary. my bet is, I will be taking more than 5000 applications.

Breakdown: you basically don't know what you gonna market, how to do it and most importantly you detest marketing, all you need is the 100k. Of course you will surely make an attempt both online and offline.

Now the Question: What if I decide to make an attempt to market my own idea?

All am saying is try using up half energy you will for someone else's businesses and make an attempt to market your idea.

Remember all you need in life to be overly successful is just one idea, sleep for 50years, wake up with 1 .

So in desperate times like this, I challenge all fresh graduates to start thinking. Don't be afraid.

May God give you the strength to fathom out that which will make your heart fulfilled in Jesus Name Amen.

Its better you hawk oranges than do that job. If any man should take something from you, don't let them take your time. If they must take it, they should pay well for it.
Am not employed yet, but I can't take a job of 40k. Though I have a business that gets me up to that in a month.
Instead of wasting your whole week for peanuts, channel it on your self. You'll go places

people should start thinking like you do. I attended a recent interview for a regional manager position with a famous make up company, the lady said she was gonna pay me 100k, I started smiling and she enquired. I reminded her that my last salary was more than 200k. and I feel I can do more. politely I declined. I now run two very small businesses and I can boldly know my boys gonna bring back nothing less than 5k daily. Do the calculation.

Nigerian graduates, please stop working for peanuts. use your head, think, think, think

koronic:
please I got an invite from nairabet to take a job test. I applied for facility Manager.
please what is the job test like? in reference to possible questions to expect

goodluck bros, Nairabet is just a silly organisation to work in. We were more than 500 for the ceo position, after we were called again for round 2 which we were 25. and one stupid question was asked to each and every one of us, who does that coupled with with the untrained bunch of personnel they have littered in the premises.

goodluck don't take them too seriously.

never sell anything for anyone-Put on your thinking caps guys
