What Is The Implication Of Using The Governor Of My State As A REFEREE? by eDoctorr(op): 1:18pm On Jan 19, 2022
No need for epistle; after several job applications that I have done under the administration of our Darling governor of the Oyo State; I've not been lucky enough to be part of the beneficiaries despite different job recruitment exercise by the Oyo State government.

Now, I have decided to apply for the ongoing OYRTMA recruitment and as you can see; I have decided to use Governor Seyi Makinde as my No. 1 REFEREE, I hope am lucky this time.

Guy, thanks for this idea.
Direct employment be that ooooo. If the job recruitment is for Bank, you are potential Branch Manager already for using incumbent State Governor as Referee.

His connection might help you tremendously

But if your CV reaches his political enemy, you'll become the pawn in their game. Trust me politicians have numerous enemies

You could be arrested if he doesn't find it funny


But if you get favor of God straight employment
Re: What Is The Implication Of Using The Governor Of My State As A REFEREE? by WoundedLamb:
Why not? If he knows you and can talk about you when/if contacted, then I'd say he's good to be a referee. Just don't forget to let him know you're using him as one.

**Edit**
Some people say you'd lose the job cause the employer might see you as his superior. That's actually ridiculous.

Re: What Is The Implication Of Using The Governor Of My State As A REFEREE? by nonxo007(m): 5:32pm On Jan 19, 2022
A referee is a person who knows you personally and can testify to your character in a case where he or she is contacted by the people with whom you are seeking employment pr sending an application to.
If you can answer these questions then you are good to go.
1. Does the governor know you and can testify about your person ?
2. Would he pick his call if called?

Now for the company it might go these 3 ways
1. They might be intimated that you know the governor and reject your application
2. They would be happy that someone from the Governors bracket would be among them and accept your application
3. They'll think you aren't telling the truth

In the end do what your mind tells you and best of luck in your future endeavors.

No be to use Governor as referee, but will the Governor be able to blow whistle for you

using your governor as a referee, you don't know he might blow penalty against you and even give you red card

Personally, I wouldn't employ you if I was the one handling the recruitment.

That's dishonesty...you're a potential scam waiting to happen.

I hope you get the job...but these kind of stunts often backfire.
