Never done it before but as long as it's not going to be a regular routine, no problem.

For y'all saying you can't but you engage in giving ur bae head then there should be something wrong in ur head.

With all these military possessions and preparations from all these top countries I wonder what the next world war would be like. I just hope and pray it never happens!

Hello dear HSE professionals
I have done my nebosh IGC since last year and up till now I am yet to get my first safety job. It has been very challenging especially after spending quite much to get the training as most of the adverts I see require experienced personnels in the oil and gas industry. I studied Mechanical Engineering and reside in PH.

Pls any advice on how to secure my first safety job would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for ur responses guyz

joshuajunior:
i hope your documents are intact and no alteration of any kind. I was invited too but mine is @PH. I cant remember which position i applied for. I am not going sha. The last tym i went there i was sent home for a mistake on my age by waec. I dont knw why they invited me again.

Pls what course did u study and how strict are they with reference to proof of being invited? I am registered on their website and reside in ph but wasn't invited. Do u think I have a chance of sitting for the test if I wasn't invited? I am considering going there tmrw morning. What is the time slated for the test?
I would really appreciate a kind response.
Thanks.

berildan:
Thanks for your credible opinion . Actually it's consulting. I asked cos recruiters in the US really don't place much interest on things like hairstyle so long as the candidate has value to add and looks moderately smart. However, I've heard a lot about how it's preferable to go on low-cut for interviews in Nigerian based firms. Just wanted to be sure and thought Nairaland was a good way to find out, until I started seeing the miserly comments before yours. Thanks again.

Are u in d US?

@ ogedanny/ OP

Please are you saying it is wrong to include a header and footer in a CV or are you just implying it is space consuming and unnecessary?

Please I need you to clarify between the two

Thanks

@ Dec 31st hopefuls/deadline narrow escape applicants, ours may even come earlier than expected.
LOL @ Congrat!!! Am dropping mine next; We need more good newzes

No position for Manager , Graduate trainee?

As na so so manager full everywhere

Naijasinglegirl:
I am addressing this letter to every past ( & prospective HR) I have encountered in the cause of my job hunt because I want my next interview to be my last in a long time.

Dear Sir
I'm guessing you have my résumé since I have literally applied for every vacancy listed online.
You may send your invitation email tomorrow, next week, next month or next year but just as you listed the requirements for your ideal candidate, permit me to state my own prerequisites so there won't be any conflict of interest when we eventually meet.

1. I will not wear my Christmas clothes for the interview.
As a lady, I am expected to appear in a D&G suit with a 4 inch heel shoe to represent the image of your company. I'm sorry to announce that's not going to happen. How do I gallantly represent the image of somewhere I am not guaranteed?
Oga Interviewer, have you ever felt the pain that comes with leaving the interview room with one's best clothes after the HR says "I'm sorry, you failed the GMAT so you will not be moving on to the next stage." Or stares from passersby, wondering why you are roaming with your CV dressed in a corporate attire during work hours.
That does not mean I wouldn't look decent. I like to keep my dressing simple in the event I find myself local pub where I can drink & pretend I was successful in your recruitment.

2. My double ear piercings does not make me the wrong person for the job.

I know tattoos are wrong on all count but piercings on the ear? The last time I checked, the position was not a choir mistress for an Apostolic Church. I have been putting on inconspicuous studded earrings since I began job hunting. How else do I show I'm professional enough? Do I have to cut off my ears? Dear HR of ABC company, how would a tiny ring affect my ability to use microsoft? Just say I remind you of your ex-girlfriend!

3. Four-person slot is not graduate trainee position

Okay, this is the first time your company needs as much as 4 candidates to fill up a position. I understand you are doing unemployed graduates a favour but why did you have call it graduate trainee recruitment, subsequently deceiving thousands of job seekers online with the aim of achieving free publicity for your company?
How do you intend to pick the best four from the 15,000 applications you received. I'm guessing you stopped reading CV's after the first 100. This is the reason we never met cos my awesome résumé was the 12751th.

4. Be very specific with you ideal candidate before I show up

She must be on low cut, must not be more than 27, must have had at least 4 years cognate experience; 1 in a managerial position, must have ACII but ICAN is preferable, must be multilingual, must be a graduate of a private university; foreign university is preferable, must have flat tummy, must be living at most 30 metres from the company, must be able to work without pay for the first three months ( na so! Is it because some churches are currently running a 100 days dry fast program), must be able to market GNLD products?
State what you want in the vacancy.
I hate unrealistic surprises after I have wasted my transport money.

5. I won't give you my photograph.
If I don't stand a 70 percent chance of getting the job, I see no reason why I should come with all my certificates if it will eventually end up in your company's trash can.
Sir, photocopies are expensive. Taking passports are a chore, do you even know how difficult it is to smile these days with all the brouhaha happening in Nigeria? I'm guessing no. After all, you have lots of money and a job to keep you busy.

6. Open interviews? Keep your marketing offer!
Many people shy away from marketing jobs because of the poor pay. I am one of them. (Except you want me to use my blog to promote your product/service) After roaming the street like a mad man to find customers, one is offered only 0.1 percent commission. Like what the hell? If it were that easy to get marketers, why did your company use euphemisms like vacancy for the post of a 'brand activator', 'key tele agents', DSA! Chief marketing technician? Yimu
If marketing is part of the job requirement, let me know prior to that! I was offered a job as an accountant in a pension company in Benin and the next thing the HR said was, "You know, this is a new company so you also have to bring in clients or your salary will be slashed by more then 50%." I told him don't even know anyone or my way round Benin! He said "Don't you have rich aunties and uncles?" I said "no. If I had super rich relatives, would I be needing the job?"
Next thing I heard was "We will get back to you."
I'm still waiting...

7. Salary is a very sensitive issue
Please when its time to discuss my salary expectations, don't bring your colleagues to distract me. Its no time for jokes. I'm a sucker for compliments. For this singular reason, my mom stopped sending me market errands cos when she gives me N5000 for soup items. I hand the entire sum to the first trader that tells me 'Omalicha...Sweety mi...African Queen, come and buy my yams."
Dad also stopped sending me to make cash deposits cos when the beggar seated outside the bank says, "Fine girl, Angel, please gimme money. God go bless you for this life." I hand over the money to him.
Last year, an HR asked how much I wanted and before I could say N120000 is okay. lol, his colleague chipped in "Mr Aderemi this particular candidate looks so humble. . . Her smile is really infectious."
I heard that and stupidly said "You guys can pay me anything like. I will manage."
The HR said, "We will give you N20000 per month."
Yimu! Do you know how much it cost to maintain this smile?

8. ABC Company is not the place for salary earners.

I can see that's your company core values. I understand you need my salary to keep up with your biannual vacation to Seychelles. No problem.
I am going to work for you without pay. After all, I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.
But what other incentives are you offering? Am I going to learn on the job? No. Would it advance my career development? Maybe. Would I have to cross third mainland bridge to work everyday? Yes. Do you have a company bus? No.
Is your firm an advertising and communications firm, you know that's my dream career path? No.
So why do you want to 'eat' my salary? No answer.

Gentlemen, let him who has ears, hear!
From a pained job seeker.

Yours sincerely

Hello dear experienced ones in the house,

I am looking forward to sending my application package tmrw morning by God's grace via Fedex as their office is jst close by to me. I made some enquiries at their office on friday and they claimed it would take 3 to 4 working days to get to canada, not sure how true this is anyway. Please I would truly appreciate your advices if there is any reason why I shouldn't use Fedex considering the short time frame left and I am very much open to any other suggestions.

Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses.

Dear experienced ones in the house,

Pls I was just filling the updated Generic Application form and I noticed the part where the statement "immigration office requested for processing this application" used to be on the older form was omitted but the space is still there without a number though.

Is this something I shld be worried about or I shld just go ahead and forget about it or perhaps fill the immigration office details in that space with a black pen?

I am just tryn hard not to commit any blunders cos I noticed I can't even type a thing in that space.

Please help a brother out!


Thanks in advance guys.

The IELTS result of a spouse who is not a principal applicant is in order for earning 5 points as long as it is not below 5 points in speaking, listening and writing and also not below 4 points for reading.
I stand to be corrected though
