Lol... Another classical example of a man pointing a finger at someone else while forgetting that four of his point at himself. . . No man is an island, Mr. Omokri.

Quality of advise instead of advice.

African relationship expert, lol. . . smh. . .

Hello everyone,

Those dudes are not worth the wait! They're a bunch of clowns hoping to pounce on unsuspecting applicants. I shot them an email using an anonymous email address, and the response I got made me laugh out loud, really. It was a lengthy and well-composed response. I was asked to pay, depending on the role applied for, the sum of 20/10 US Dollars (USD). This is in order to be considered for interview and documentation. 20 USD for those who applied for the 'Field Engineer' and 'Data Processing' roles and 10 USD for applicants for the other roles. The said sum is to be paid via a bitcoin address.

The anonymous email address I used wasn't the same I used for the application, and I was congratulated for my satisfactory performance in the aptitude test.

P.S.: I emailed bluebaseconsultsng@gmail.com and copied adekunleola811402@yahoo.com. The response came from the latter email.

Okay. It used to take the form of a panel interview. Just as it's the case in common job interview scenarios, you'll be asked about your previous role(s), as stated on your CV. You'll also be asked about what you know about them, how you got to know about the opening and suchlike questions. Endeavour to prepare some intelligent questions for them as well. All the best!

Without a shadow of doubt, it's now obvious the Benin Jay-Z referred to when he said 'I got bloodlines in Benin, that explains the voodoo' in the We Family (bonus) track of his latest album, 4:44.

Thank you for your response.
Permit me to ask further question please. Are they not real?

PLEASE HELP CONFIRM O

They're con artistes. Best ignore them.

I wonder what the obsession is with degree classes in recent times, most especially, first class degrees. . . That someone made a first, second or third class degree doesn't make him/her less/more human, for crying out loud. Regardless of the degree class you emerge with, you still got a whole lot to prove; not only to yourself but to the society at large.

With the right attitude and mindset, realizing one's dreams shouldn't be as difficult as we think.

This enlightening post should be aimed at all graduates, regardless of class of degree. First class graduate or not, one must be well-grounded to create / add value to one's (prospective) employer(s).

Good day,

I applied to a position at Babban Gona. The advert of the opening was posted here on nairaland.

I got an invitation to write a test as the first stage the assessment. However, I find the address and direction to the venue for the test somehow suspicious as i believe the corporate office of an organisation should be well situated.
See below the address and the direction to the venue as sent to me.

Address
No 9 Prof. Olabisi Olagoke Street Oceanside Estate, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos

Direction

1. From VI/Ikoyi take the Lekki Expressway to new 2nd Roundabout. 

2.Make Right at roundabout towards Ocean /Pinnacle Filling Station

3. Make the 2nd left turn at NCA Church/Street (Green Building will be on your right).

3.At end of street go straight through a big blue gate onto DCS Road, in our Sub Estate. 

4.Go to the end of DCS road, turn right and make immediate right again I.e. U-turn, go towards the middle of the street and you will see a brown and cream compound with a black gate.

Please note that I do not reside in Lagos as such I know little about locations in Lagos.

Useful information, ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you

I would've given this a shot if I were you. The advert wasn't only posted on Nairaland. It was also posted on all the reliable job sites I'm familiar with.

Becoming a graduate isn't a day's job. It comes with lots of efforts, costs and commitment, regardless of one's class of degree. A 'true' graduate is expected to have developed a broad range of skill sets needed to thrive in both workplace and street settings.

As such, graduates should be able to trust their judgements (and not someone else's) when it comes to honouring certain interview invites. It's perfectly fine to sample opinions but the final decision should be yours to make. You're the CEO of your life. Take charge of it!

If I were to go by the OP's listed criteria, I would have lost a lucrative job opportunity which as it turns out, happens to be my current job. I saw the advert and applied via one funny email address like that. What captivated me was the fact that they wanted a graduate with an experience in a specified branch of Chemistry. I applied knowing I had nothing to lose. And when the invite came via email and sms, no company name still but I went ahead after doing my homework on the address and name of the sender.

This is not to say the OP's totally wrong. Some invites are suspect without a doubt, and are usually dead on arrival when sighted by bright/smart minds.

If you applied for a job posting and receive an invite afterwards, as graduates, suspend judgements first, do your research via online platforms (Nairaland, LinkedIn, etc) and other sources before coming to conclusions.

It is well even in the well.

Ol' boy, This is what I'll call a thorough dressing down for Trump from the 'Rap God' himself.

What screen size is that, please?

It's all play-acting. Dumb strategy.

Legal jobs are rarely posted on Nairaland. A lot of nairalanders work in law firms and establishments who often recruit legal minds. Advertisement calling for a legal practitioner is often seen everywhere in our courts.

I am therefore compelled to use this medium to bring these adverts to our ever increasing nairaland family (of which I have benefited a lot from).

So if you have or see any job vacancy for the post of a Legal Practitioner of whatever experience or any job requiring a graduate of Law, kindly post it here for the betterment of the learned mind of this honourable assembly.

Thank you.

Nice initiative. Thumbs up.
