It depends on the type of organisation, if its a top notch organisation you can simply apply for a sick leave.

But for the start ups, I remember what I used to do back then, early in the morning my MD would get this text from me;

"Good morning ma'am, please I'm sorry I can't make it to work this morning, I woke up with serious stomach upset, but as soon as I get strong enough I would rush down to the office."

The goal of telling your boss you would come to work once you are ok is to make your boss less offended because there is still a possibility of you coming to work and you didn't just abruptly decide not to come to work, so if the interview is in the same town you can still make it to work after the interview, and if you can't come back on time it would be taken the "illness" turned out to be too serious

Hell no! I never asked for a chimney!

Why didn't you guys increase it during my time? ?

Well, all good, let upcoming home boys enjoy!

For a customer service rep, her grammar is poor!

"DID you have any other Adidas related questionS"

Next time, please say "DO"

And no need for the "s" in question.

Damn! How did she get the job? All this could be fake though.

I feel this lady is just trying to do damage control.

She must have had an abortion years ago which she feels someone who knew about her doing it then told you about it or rumours got its way to you about her having an abortion some time ago.

And all in a bid to seek pity she cooked this story up for you after the 2 weeks period which your silence made her presume you must have being told from a reliable source she has had an abortion, there is a possibility she could be telling the truth though, but the possibility is very slim!

Some facts in your story seem fabricated!

How can you be banging her and she would pick her call not once but TWICE while in the act?

Are you trying to say you lack good sex skills that you can't make a woman lose control enough for her not to give a damn about her phone while in the act with you?

Well, nice story though, lesson learnt.

When two cripples play what do you expect?


Man Utd vs Chelsea = El Boringo


Arsenal on top of the league!


If Arsenal dashes Chelsea 19 points, Arsenal would
still top Chelsea in the EPL table

Plan B

That's why a blackberry is still the best device around. You don't need gmail and all the other processes, just own a Blackberry and the "Blackberry Protect" feature backs up contacts for you online either daily, weekly or monthly, hassle free! You don't even move a muscle for it to do that.

Informative thread I must say.

Please I would like to know more about the contract job issue in banks, I had missed an interview with one of the outsourcing firms for banks(Workforce) some time ago and I have another interview with them on monday, from all I have been reading here about contract staff I mostly see "OND/HND" mentioned here, I have not seen much about a "B.Sc", I have a B.Sc and I would like to know the pay grade for B.Sc holders in the contract staff role.

Please, actual salary figures for various job roles for various banks for B.Sc contract staff would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Like seriously? Relegation bound teams playing and its on front page? Why should 15th position -Norwich and 16th position- Chelsea be playing and the mods put it on frontpage? Nairaland has fallen I must say!

This match is really insignificant, even if Chelsea wins by 20-0 they would still be in the relegation zone of around 14-15th position

bxcode Thanks for the information.

Please I need further clarifications, I would be coming in from Uyo through Aba/PH Expressway, and I think the final bus top is Waterlines Junction, is that Genesis Junction before or after Waterlines Junction?

I need to know so I know where to alight. And lastly, you know where AKTC motor park is along Aba Road right? Its before Waterlines Junction, please can you relate AKTC's location and Genesis Junction for me?

Thanks in advance!

Congrats Emmasonic4me!

Please can you give a range of the remuneration? You don't have to state the exact figure if you don't feel like and you could as well state the exact figure as this is a faceless forum and no one knows you personally. At least that can help those awaiting interviews and those who would find the info helpful. Thanks in advance.

Congrats once again!!!

The day our courts and standards regulatory bodies become fully responsible in prosecuting companies who falter on standards of quality like this and make them pay lots of millions, all of such nonsense like this would be reduced to the very barest minimum.

Edoblakky:
This is how you commit an epic gaffe and advertise raw ignorance! Google pride of London and see if you won't be shocked to see its not Arsenal but Chelsea. I don't know where you guys got that lie from. An Arsenal fan said the same thing last week and when I asked him to google pride of London, he became hell-shocked to find out it is Chelsea.

Dude stop displaying your daftness to the world!

The cliché "The Pride of London" isn't an official term and its just a fan slang said by fans of clubs in London, Arsenal and Chelsea being the two biggest clubs in London drag that name a lot. So don't be claiming the ownership of such an unofficial title like its an official title like "Capital of England" which is undoubtedly - London! .


For your information, www.theprideoflondon.com which displays tags of both Arsenal and Chelsea as having that informal tittle is just a frigging website! Its nothing official! And that website is originally a Chelsea fan based website, meaning the owner of the website is associated to Chelsea fan base hence the banner of the website shows Chelsea. Even that website also tags Arsenal as the Pride of London, below is a photo of the same website and its display of Arsenal.


Because a Chelsea fan based outfit was the first to register "www.theprideoflondon.com" doesn't give that tittle to Chelsea as an official tittle. If a Queens Park Rangers fan based outfit were the first to register that website when you google "the pride of London" you would see QPR being displayed as the pride of London. Writing "the pride of london" in google to search, google would first search any website bearing such details and put it first for you. Its just like searching "Nairaland" on google, of course google would show you "www.nairaland.com" first before any other results pertaining to that keyword.


If I register the website "www.bestclubinlondon.com" and put up on the website banner that "Fulham; The best club in London", whenever anyone makes the search "the best club in london" what would show first would be that website and the website info would display as Fulham being the "best club in London", but does that make Fulham the best club in London?


Calling your club the pride of your vicinity is a status symbol to mean its the biggest club in that vicinity and fans brag about such, so its daft, deluded and ignorant of you to be claiming rights about an unofficial tittle like "The Pride of London" to belong to Chelsea. Even the smallest clubs in a vicinity claim to be pride of the vicinity and its all part of football fanaticism. At best if two clubs are to argue on such a title its their clubs achievements which would win the argument, and talking about achievements, has Chelsea FC achieved more than Arsenal FC as a club since inception?


Here is a Wikipedia link (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_records_in_england) to the British football rating of clubs in England and their rank in relation to the points earned from all trophies won which includes "ALL" trophies in Europe. Below is also a photo of the rating. Chelsea is still below Arsenal on that list despite Arsenal not winning a Champions league, deluded Chelsea fans think winning just one Champions league makes a team greater than the rest, how funny! With such logic it means clubs like Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest who have won champions league are greater than Manchester City FC at present just because Man City hasn't won Champions league yet.

Well, what do you expect from pathetic football fans like Chelsea fans who only started watching football in 2005, puerile fans indeed!!!

We share the same football club, she was a Manchester Utd fan before now, I gave her an ultimatum to became an Arsenal fan.

If she was a Chelsea fan prior to now she would have ended as my girlfriend! (No apologies to Chelsea fans)

When I moved in about the motion about her changing to the Pride of London (Arsenal) ... she just said: "Baby haba naw!" When I looked at her with my sexy bad eyes, she said: "Ok baby no vex, I'm a Gunner as from henceforth" and she updated the news on her BBM profile immediately

Pursue your dreams everyone, never settle for less

jnrbayano:

Pls make una put me for prayers let me get my own invite and not miss this chance of being employed in Stanbic oo, I applied for entry level: Private commercial banking support officer, pls o pls pray for me o as I have been praying for all of us, pls o.

I wrote the test in Port Harcourt on the 25th of July as well, I got an email from Stanbic today inviting me for a panel interview next week.

Below are words of a successful 2:2 graduate;

"First and foremost I'd like to unequivocally state that a 2:1 gives you an edge over the 2:2 graduates especially for shortlisting
purposes. Most graduate trainee programs have a minimum of 2:1 as their requirement.


Now to 2:2 graduates, I'd advise folks in this
category to add a proven competency other than your 2:2 grade to make you shine in the eyes of an employer. I'd use myself as an example, I polished my writing skills, my diction and communication skills.

Weeks before finishing NYSC, I wrote a
proposal to a top multinational firm, attached my CV and a cover letter, I got an invite for an interview, just minutes into the interview the HR manager said... "I love your diction!" ...Your proposal was an excellent idea, I just wanted to hear you talk."

And as you guessed right, I got the job! Mind you, I graduated with a 2:2 and my start up salary was close to six digits.


Apart from your 2:1 or 2:2, every employer respects "IDEAS" over a certificate. I have a very good job today because I sold an idea to my employer.

Another option for 2:2 graduates is to add
professional certifications to your certificate to give your CV some shine, go for Internationally recognised certifications in your profession, the likes of CISA, CISCO, NEBOSH, Prince 2, etc.

If that's far reached you can go for certification from Nigerian Institutes, the likes of Institute of Chattered Accountants of Nigeria, Nigerian institute of Management, Chattered institute of Personnel Management and others. And mind you, you must not read Accounting in University to get an ICAN certification. I had a friend who read Statistics and in final year he registered for ICAN, before finishing NYSC he got his ICAN certification and works in a multinational corporation now, and mind you, he graduated with a 2:2.

I bet you that a 2:2 with CISA or ORACLE 11g would beat a 2:1 graduate to a job.


A 2:2 graduate with ICAN before hitting age 27 would give you a job almost anyplace you apply.


A 2:1 just gives you a better chance over the 2:2 graduates for the case of Graduate Trainee programs, but how many jobs do Graduate Trainee Programs offer? VERY FEW!"


My last words to everyone is this ... Hustle hard!! If you made 2:1 make sure it works for you, if you got a 2:2 acquire extra skills and competences to convince an employer that you are competent enough. All the best everyone!!!

Its called a dog-faced fruit bat. Nothing strange here please!

Thinking...

....

I was invited as well.

Hitting the road from Uyo to PH on saturday morning, should be there on time for the assessment at the slated time.

From the email they sent, PBB Resourcing is the recruiting consultant, quite an elaborate email though.

Well, I like their style, its already giving me joy about the proposed job.

NB: Would have loved to spill the beans on the assessment venue and other details to Nairalanders but I don't think you can "gate-crash" if you aren't invited because its stated in the elaborate email that invited candidates should come along with the printed invitation email which has the "invitee's" name boldly stated on it.

All the best to y'all!

I would make sure she cleans it off or else na Kirikiri things o!

Seen...

Giannakopoulos:
Yes,sorry the msg was not customized bc there is an urgent recruitment going on.

Too bad I missed the interview due to the fact that the message was not customised and again because I felt it must have been some other job offer I had applied for and not the Akwa Ibom outsourcing offer, reasons being that it was not clearly stated in the text and I thought the interview would have been done in Akwa Ibom and not Port Harcourt. Pardon my unavoidable misconceptions.

Please can the interview be rescheduled or something? Should I send a text to the phone number asking for a rescheduling or something?
Thanks.
