I pity you. I pray you do not come to an odeal that will compel you to accept that "God effect" rules the affairs of men.

spare me those things. I have heard enough of it.

Nice DP baby boo, is that a mocktail or a cocktails?

Thanks, something related, plus a shake

True. Currently in a meeting that i have no interest in being in but was advised by a senior colleague to attend strictly because of networking.

I totally agree with the dating ' girls that have substance. Don't date girl wey be liability' part.
All these lazy, entitled and poverty striken girls just nauseates me. I don't even take a second look at them.

Workch:
Today I got a job offer with a salary of 350k and an official car just because I know a strong person in the company.
I use to work for another company at Ajah, I go to the office once in a week from thr mainland and it's not easy. My salary is 200k and I don't really like the work environment, I am tired of the job and this new job is not far from my house, its in Ikeja. My girlfriend whom I have known since 2011 when I was doing my I.T (WE dated then broke up, she came back last year January) connected me with one of her friends that I use to know back then. This her friend is married to the nephew of the CEO of this company and she works there herself.

She got my CV, 3 months ago, waited for a vacancy and made sure that it was not advertised. See, the interview, na only me dey there, the job was kept for me. It was not even an interview, it was a conversation and they were just telling me about the company, no stress. That's the power of knowing somebody, this will not be possible i didn't get a strong referral.

This morning I got my appointment letter. I asked them to give me 1 month to tidy up my account in this current office.
Try and build connections, know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody. Ask for referrals, it's going to make the whole job hunt easier.

I forgot to ask, date girls that have substance. Don't date girl wey be liability

Workch:
lol 😂
I am scared of marriage

My brother with the way women are now especially Nigerian women you have every right to be,
Make sure you reciprocate her kind gesture to you before we go dey read headlines like *I made him, I fed him* *I suffered with him etc

Congratulations to you

Now that she is building her future around you, don't come ask for our opinion if u can marry her after knowing her body count.

Workch:
spare me those things. I have heard enough of it.

You are very stubborn. Your head go cool someday. Congratulations though.

Workch:
I merit the job, my CV speaks. In this country, merit is not enough. The competition is stiff

I don't believe you. Yes there is competition. But Merit surpasses all merit is just enough. Be a person of value- you go see offer you go tire. For me I believe in Excellence hence i try to be a person of value.
I am not rulling out networking and all.

religion has finished you

Am an introvert and this knowing people and connection stuff is really giving me heartache
I do almost everything in my life alone.

Akalia:
I beg to differ. I work in a multinational and I can loudly say to your hearing that I didn't know nobody to land the job. God came through for me.

In this life God moves in mysterious ways when he wants to bless a man, either he uses familiar people or total strangers. The latter is usually the case.

The OP is ascribing the glory due to God to another man. God used someone familiar to upgrade him, after all there are those who know connected people but yet they are still struggling.

You are right to a large extent but i disagree with the statement that "... glory should not go to men".

If we are truly made in his image, then why shouldn't men be celebrated as well? It's terribly frustrating when one battles to save a life only to learn that 'all glory went to the church aka the family' s pastor'.

It can be demoralising

Itohan22:
Networking is good. Thanks for the love guys, God bless everyone who liked my Nairaland DP, though less compared to Instagram

your name sound like edo abi benin. Where are you located?

You guessed correctly, lol

Workch:

I am not religious, I don't even go church but I am a witness to the existence of God and his impact on the affairs of men.

Itohan22:

oya, are you in benin? Would like to connect with a nairalander here someday.

When God uses a human vessel to bless me, I do well to thank the vessel and appreciate the fact that the vessel was a useful tool in the hands of God. What I will never do is to praise the man.
The praise goes to God. Why do you think people hold Thanksgivings to God after surviving a ghastly auto crash or after surviving a near death experience?
You can't downplay the "God effect" on the affairs of men. We are all tools in his hands.

You seem uncomfortable with my truth. Relax.

Obviously, you did not get the job on merit but on recommendation... U are plain lucky n nothing more...

if I enter you with your God jargons you go run. All these deluded God people no dey know how to stop to peddle their shit

Due to rotten system in nigeria

Don't date girl wey be liability

I love your concluding remark.

Very apt!

Workch:
we are currently dating. She was my ex, she's now my babe. 😊😊

Who no like better thing 😂😂

Manny21:
This should work out for somebody who have something in his head to offer and not a dunce graduate. My guy, do you think if you had messed up during the "interview" or is it "conversation" you would still get the job even if you are the only applicant? While you look for connection also develop competence quotient. It will take you far.

Exactly! 💯

Its what the white people call networking..a version of which we call, man no man.

Most important jobs and worthwhile career progresion even abroad, depend who you know that is speaking for you

Yes. There are exceptions, sir.

Nevertheless, may we never suffer for too long.
