Some jobs are for young people. In some skilled jobs, advance in age is an advantage. Would you rather have a 28-yrs old doctor or a 55-yrs old doctor? The young doctor may be intelligent but age limitation will cast doubt on his experience.

Talking About Job Opportunity;


You Are Also A Human Being.

A Thinking Being.


An Homo Sapien like The Person That Could Have Provided A Job for You.


However; Since You cannot CALM DOWN And THINK of How To Create Your Own Personal Job from The Abundant Opportunities Available in Providing Various Solutions To The Problems of People Around You; or Meeting Up with Their Needs -

Clearly; You Become A VICTIM OF UNEMPLOYMENT CIRCUMSTANCES in Nigeria.





There Are Many Opportunities Out There.


You Know It.


But You Have Decided To Hide Your Mental and Physical Laziness Under The MIRAGE OF HIGH RATE OF EMPLOYMENT in Nigeria.





Well; Here Lies THE TRUTH:

The High Rate of Unemployment in Nigeria is CLEARLY As A Result of The Millions of Mentally Lazy Youths in Nigeria.









In This Life;


It is Your Business To JOB YOURSELF.



If You Like - Don't Live Life As SIMPLE as A,B,C.



"Don't Engage in:


A - AGRICULTURAL SKILLS & AGRICULTURAL TRADING,

B - BUSINESS SKILLS & BUSINESS TRADING,

C - CURRENCIES SKILLS & CURRENCIES TRADING.










DEY THERE.



JUST DEY PLAY.

Age affect and will affect so many of us. We're really racing against time. The funny thing is you can't even beat time forever. You might beat it today, but in the next couple of years, it's beating you.

Hint: live your life in moments and live every moment to the fullest. there's nothing like tomorrow. Today is the tomorrow.

Even as a footballer, I've never been screened out for any age screening I've participated in. Though I've seen so many guys get screened out and if you see the way they cry ehhn.

One lost a Swedish club deal because of age. He came back depressed and hasn't recovered till today, he's now in school. Even the school sef, ASSU strike don show am shege, before he finish, he fit don clock 32 or so, now which company will employ him? Age will might kick him hard again.

Back to me, i have this baby face and I'm not the bearded kind of person, I hate beards, especially the side beards, I can manage goatee. Lol. Na just my height dey won Bleep me up sometimes, I'm 6.7'' and in football, oyibo/scouts really take height for a grown man in Africa.

Even like now, I can go for even under 17 screening and still pass.

You're asking me as if you don't what what side beards means, you're really a difficult person 😕

Also, in HR, School matron, Lecturing and all, your big age may be a bonus.

I once went for an interview in UBA Miatama branch, the HR was already very disrespectful to me but I didn't mind. When it was time they checked my WAEC result age and my Birth Certificate age. There was a mistake from WAEC result with one day difference but the same Year. This HR started shouting at me and told me to get out of that place I was shocked cos life is bigger than being a Slave. I found out the guys Salary was 79k minus tax hence the need to pour his frustration on others. I wish him all the best I have grown since then hope he has too..

Yap, I did 😁😁, I think it was access bank or something, they wanted small small pickins, I was like 1.5 years older...

I also lost supply contract a few times cause I look to young & a bit wayward to be responsible, Some civil servants are very very annoying..But i heard later is mostly cause I don't look like a person dat would play ball ( inflating costs of products) or giving them signed blank receipt...They where right 😁😁

I can't count how many times... I have always been slightly older than roles. Missed many good opportunities.
Ernst and Young, I was 27, they needed 26. I got to the interview and missed that.
DPR, they needed 28, I was 30. At the interview, they asked and I didn't hear from them again.
Even for an experienced role that typically shouldn't be age dependent, somehow, age comes in for me. Access Bank, experienced role, finished all interviews in flying colours. Only to later learn they just introduced an age-to-grade rule, which saw me being 4 years older than the grade I was to get... So that painfully slipped away.
The hard luck with age has made me not have a career which I so crave, but I am not giving up. I am chasing it and I'll still get it by God's grace.
Nothing but positive mindset. We soldier on.
Peace.

How does one apply for experienced roles in bank and what I see most is Graduate entry..

What is the age limit for experienced role

I like your mentality, you see this success and failure everyone is talking about is a thing of the mind.

Hard to break free from and hard to break into also.

I pray we all attain mental development because it's the bedrock of succes.

Years back I passed first bank aptitude test and was screened for the interview but unfortunately I was 27 and they want a maximum of 26 , I tried to explain to them that it is the numerous strike thing but this man Alex otti vehemently refused and even called me a thief , forward 15/20yrs later same Alex otti now unsure of his LGA of origin kept jumping from Ngwa to arochukwu in his bid to be the governor, this same guy that accused me of doctoring my age is now doctoring his LGA of origin and I was just to happy to put a nail to his ambitions and am I will still do it again no matter his party
