I personally think only an insane, bittered, negative and a myopic person would say this wasnt a nice get together.

If you think something was not right then keep those to yourself.

Its a huge effort to come out of your comfort zone, journey all the way to Elegushi to meet new folks you have never seen which in itself requires some form of confidence and a sign of a healthy personality.

Great stuff guys. You all look good and your rectitude is commendable.

Go Nominate Nairalanders for the Jobs/Vacancies Section Awards 2016! HERE!

Okay. If una like make una no nominate me.

dayjahvoo:
You are the chief cause of all these. I don't know why anyone would want news that can only best be described as a rumor.

If you need unverified stories then go to lindaikeji's blog now. Or better still, get the guys blog address and be visiting it directly.

Don't lets blame. That was a past event now chief.
Morning and trust you are well.

alex81:


so op what is d required weight cos recruiters dont usually add dat

If it is added that the weight should not be more than 1mb then let it be less or 1mb.
If it is not specified then its fine.

donmatin:
I beg to differ on the subject application for the position of Head of Operations isn't only legal but formal too which is acceptable anywhere except when asked just to title the application Head of Operations.

Happy new year chief and good luck to you.

Rochero:
@op
When writing an application letter,should someone type the letter or to send as a file

As instructed.
If there were no instructions with regards to that, then you could write it in the body of your email in two paragraphs.
Short and precise.

Truflame:
Can't u help the teeming population of unemployed people instead of giving them rigid principles. A lot of them are yet to get the requisite experience needed in a work place. Give them a job and orientate them when they are placed on the job not the other way round

HR job is on the line if s/he recruits the wrong candidate. Most times they are trying to replace people and s/he has a responsibility to get reliable employees. If an applicant cannot follow instructions in the first place then it paints the person as someone who doesn't get himself or herself together and its the first red flag.

Besides, that does not require experience you would agree with me. They are just simple and common sense instructions as was given in your exams in school too.

If subject says: Head Of Operations.
Dont write it as: Application For The Head Of Operations In Your Company (It wont even be received) because they are like computer commands.

But I get your point, thanks. Just wanted to help.

Tough one

2017 guys... You cannot keep making same mistakes over and over again... So I want to share very simple, yet!!! Important tips when sending an application via email.

Note: Please read carefully.

What led to this topic?
Last week I was privileged to have the opportunity to recruit two new guys for my team and my HOD had insisted that I used my official email to receive resumes.
I already envisaged the number of resumes I would get knowing fully well the rate of unemployment in Nigeria. So... I was unhappy that my email would be very busy with lots of spam
Unfortunately too, we did not currently have any HR software that shuffles CV: http://www.hrtechnique.com/2016/08/how-to-ensure-hr-administrators-get.html

What did I do?
I went to my email settings, started playing around, and I found a solution. I was able to create a different label (box) but I had to give it a title name and I had to (without choice) specify what type of message title comes inside, what type of file can be received and what the weight of the file should be. Problem solved.

What does this imply?
It means any email without that title name or files above the specified weight will not be archived.

What did I notice?.
After publishing the vacancy, specifying what the subject of the email should be and what the maximum weight should be for resumes as well as the file type... A host of graduates still went ahead (stubbornly) to do what they think is right rather than do as instructed.

The three simple but important tips:
That being said, when applying via email, ensure the following is observed.
1. Note and obey what the recruiter has specified that your email subject should be. Otherwise you will not hear from the recruiter because he wont receive it. Don't add your own words.
2. Same as above, follow the instructions regarding whether it should be in PDF or Word. There is a reason why they said so.
3. Lastly, Ensure the file is not above the required weight.

Tip: Be straight to the point in your application. I doubt recruiters read them. They go straight to your cv. If they ever read your email, let it be straightforward.

@ tafrica @GMB4REAL sorry I flared up.
It was not necessary that I got upset.

Yes! Traffic is important to me but more importantly is the power of information you guys are privy to via my blog.

The updates I gave was actually from a friend... ex politician son who was my classmate in school back then and is in Abuja but you know everything is hearsay.

If I have more info, will share.

Cool stuff.
I should participate in this one this time around

@tafrica

I will advise anyone to disregard that info. It is apparent he came up with that from stories several people said here that they saw a bug message of 'text' on their portal. Note that it wasn't a real test as no one was able to attempt it.

Hi chief, see the below from me:

Thanks for your concerns and morning to you.
I actually have new updates but have not verified it. I do not post false information on my blog so I need to verify it before updating.

See one of your fellow applicants words:

Weldone, please what are the new updates? Can u share it with us even if u haven't verified it? Afterall u have already said it that u haven't verified the authenticity of the update & that u don't post false information. U r absolutely right & iam with u on that. I also think it is not wrong to share an unverified info as long as u let people know that the story is unconfirmed. There is nervousness in the house i think & I'm not sure if there's anybody that is not willing to have a latest info even if not verified. Thanks

Why were you so fast to discard my update? You dont know me and you dont know my source. I am just trying to help out. What I shared was from a good source here in Abuja and if you like it take it or not.

Yes there is a huge bug and problems with the whole recruitment and that was why I just said be patient. Lets see how it unfolds.
I am not a joker nor some jobless person, just trying to help.

ADVISE: Its not a good attitude when you aim to bring others down without verification, evidence or knowledge.

You are a young man.. No one would notice you even if you trek from lagos to abuja.. But i get free ride offers everyday just trekking a few minutes. Every other well dressed lady gets one too.. And my "ridees" would give anything in the world to go on a date with me. Butvi have a bf.

Lol. Funny stuff. I get you.

Tosyne2much, I get Fabulocity points. You guys made one single mistake.

#Not engaging a mod to bring down all those comments from guys who just dont think right by typing words that discourage, objectify women and disgrace malefolks.

Their words could actually discourage lots of girls from attending but I also agree that most guys who talk that way may not be able to even say hi.

I think this event is a superb one. One that could given people an opportunity for new contacts, networks, friends and who knows; "partners".

Wish you guys a fun time tomorrow.

she is sounding pained and doesnt perfectly understand the human mind



your mind is so gorgeous that you could create and lead a sicknes free life

kilode100:
You are Bored!

I actually think she has a lot of time on her hands too.
She is bored so I want to agree with you.

I think she will come out of it. Just a phase.

ConcNiggress56:
Cupcake, it is not normal.. Hypertension, stroke, BP, cardiac arrest are on the cards.. I pray that wont be your portion IJN. Besides, there wont be anyone to service your engine like me.. You might just age quickly. Looking 58 when you are just 30. And your chances of getting married at a marriageable age are slim.

My recommendation.

You know what i tell your type?? Stand up, freshen up and take a long walk to shoprite everyday without going with a dime. You will make new friends while trekking or get a free ride or a free meal..
Hope this helps

Thats a crazy recommendation though.
Well, you could be a therapist who knows.
So maybe you know what you are saying but didnt sound right to me.

**modified**

This thread just proved to me that not all mantally depressed people are roaming,just check out how all the commenters are attesting to be like the OP.
I have learnt one thing though,which is to stop exchanging words with most people online, they have their battles.
May God heal you all

Funny...

Maybe my opinion might change today after I see other comments.

I actually believe that theres just one thing that keeps relationships together and its; "Choice".

The choice to stick with a partner no matter what. For me, its not love (I actually dont believe in love).

jimnozi:
Thanks Brother, There is no error when filling the form but unfortunately after av done everything i notice on my institution. it reads no iinstitution and i tried to reinsert it it doesn't work again even before the form closed online. and during the reg i put institutions i was surprise. could this be the problem.... Thanks

Yes. It could be the problem. The software may have counted your application as invalid BUT like I said, its in batches and who knows, you may still get an opportunity.

dayjahvoo:
You can post it once per page or once every two pages if you feel its helpful.

There's really no point in posting it 3 times in one page.

Hey dayjahvoo,

Thanks for your opinion. Appreciate.
What I actually do is delete the former one and post a new one. That link you are seeing is the only one on this entire thread but thanks for your points. Noted and wont post it again.

Its been deleted.

If I have new updates, will inform you guys.

Regards.

donasere:
Errrm... its not like we I don't appreciate the fact that you compiled such. I actually thank you, as this gave me an insight to the step by step recruitment process...
But issue is this... i've seen it on and on... and imagine my disappointment when I open FT page and I see the "new" tag against the dpr thread.. I open to check if there is actually an update and all I see is a recycled info... Just put yourself in my shoes and the shoes of 1000 or more hopefuls and ask yourself if it's fair?
Fine its none of my business whatever you post and am not a mod... so I guess I probably overstepped my boundary so have it your way.

The season is splendid... complements to you too!

Thanks for your concerns and morning to you.
I actually have new updates but have not verified it. I do not post false information on my blog so I need to verify it before updating.

I must agree that you are absolutely right about what you said. Its duly noted.
Cheers.

jimnozi:
oga ooo.... I registered like the third day but up till now still read PENDING APLLICATION. please is this right?.

Its in batches. Be patient...
As long as there were no errors in your application.

donasere:
You go don post this thing like 10 times if not more...All because of traffic... abeg stop! Before dem ban you for spamming

I usually dont reply mentions but will oblige you.

1. I think as long as the post is relevant to the topic, the mods wont ban (At the end of the day, remember its the mods job not yours).
2. Mention me on any other places you see this link.
3. I posted a helpful link that took time to compile and relevant to the thread and I keep posting for others to see irrespective of whether it will give me traffic or not.
4. Except the link did not help you or others then will stop (People just do not appreciate).

... But your concerns are appreciated. How is the season going with you?.

Great
