General Discussion-Jobs-Employers Please Stop Fustrating Job Seekers With Unnecessary Demands

Thanks for the advice Seun. I'm sure a lot of job seekers at nairaland will find this interesting.

Guys we are all winners OK. When the time comes for you to grab yours, (could be a job at Shell Petroleum) just be sure that you know it and grab it. Mine is a miracle because I didn't know it was going to be a Green card. I just prayed that God should get me out of the situation. I didn't care to know how it was going to happen. I just believed that HE could do it and here I am.

ekunit thanks again. Come to think of it. I have been having conversations with your uncle and getting a lot of help from him but I've never had the chance to tell you Thank You, I mean over the phone or something. Please let me have your number. I want to show my appreciation to you, properly. Here is my email: kdships@yahoo.com

ishmael that's a good question. I believe most people have biz ideas and stuff but the problem almost always remains generating the INITIAL CAPITAL!

This is not right.

rm123luck@hotmail.co.uk don't mind that discouraging reply. You can get help right away if you want. I have an idea. Am going to email you and you right now. I once had an experience like this before so I know what you are going through. Am into computers too. So,

How do I know this is for REAL?, Like you are not trying to ripe us off. You should have some kind of way to prove this. RIGHT? You are like some guy that posted something about a mini flat in Ogba. Says he got a mini flat and was looking for someone to share the place and of course pay half of the rent. In Lagos? Not like I knew you before.

Hey, could you hook us up on that? Might not be bad if someone joins you at the test.

This is so funny, Guys why are you blasting this guy like this, he's just ignorant.

Thanks ekunit, but you didn't give me your name. Don't you think he might want to know if I really know you? Better still, you could tell him that I'll be calling soon, Thanks anyway

I called a guy in charge at an office I applied for a job and told him about my interest in the job. He asked me some questions about my educational history. I told him that am a graduate of computer science with a 2:2 as I have a copy of my statement of result to proove that. And he asked that I present something to show my CGPA as well. I told him I didn't know what I got unless I have to apply to collect my transcript from my school. This means going back to my school and would have to wait till it's ready.

I mean, what does the CGPA has to do with a technical job such as an IT Technician? Most of what is in the Job description has nothing to do with what I learnt in school. I learnt most of the IT skills I know now outside the walls of the University. Most of what we did in Computer Science was all about programming and mathematics etc. An 80 job test questions relating to IT subjects would have been the best way for selecting candidates seeking for technical jobs such as this.

Now, do these people [Employers] really know what they are doing? I thought the reason for a job test is to pick the best from th crowd. They might as well get a mathematician to do the job.

Job Description

Founded in 1826 and a member of NSG group from June 2006, Pilkington is a leader in the global Flat Glass industry and is one of the world's largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for the building and automotive markets.

The combined company has 36,000 employees worldwide and manufacturing operations in 26 countries, with Sales in more than 130 countries.
 
Pilkington Group Limited, based in St Helens in the North West of England, operates from sites throughout Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australasia.

Information Systems Group Function is looking for 3 graduates to start September 2007 with a 2:1 degree or above preferably in an IT related degree.

The Information Systems (IS) function promotes and delivers high quality and cost-effective Information Systems and services to meet the needs, objectives and strategies of the Group as a whole, and individual businesses.

IS departments within the various businesses provide support to a wide range of activities, from large manufacturing locations to small distribution outlets. The support falls into two broad categories of service provision and the development of software applications.

On joining a department, graduates will work on live projects including applications development, network development and technical support. Extensive training is provided in the IT skills needed to perform roles technically to a high standard.

The function aims to develop flexible technical and business orientated professionals capable of progressing both within the IS function and into non-IS functions.

Would have loved to join you, but Ogba? No way, I prefer some place closer to the island or the island itself.

Hello guys,
Curious about what this is about? Okay, enough of the suspense, I won the DV2005 USA Visa lottery and had sent out the completed forms to Kentucky. Am currently waiting for the final interview that will give me the "REAL" ticket to USA. I just have one question for anyone with a previous experience. How is the interview like?
