That woman abused you with what you can't change. Please forgive her, I know it's not easy. One day, one day, those who have exalted themselves thinking that they're some kind of god, they'll answer to God.

Gboliwe:

Good move. Follow this up with actually contacting people that work in this company via Linkedin. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is as sweet as it can be. Also add ground hassle to your portfolio of job search strategies..One day, you'll tell a good story, a story of triumph.

It was worth it. You learned something. If things require you to replicate the same action today, you won't have difficulty.

I finished NYSC on the 6th of July 2013 (batch b) and the journey afterwards has be tough

1. I wrote and aptitude test with Philips consulting for Heritage bank in April and passed, traveled from kwara where i was serving for interview only to be turned down because i hadn't yet completed my nysc and i had just 3 weeks left. (disappointment no 1)
2. wrote standard chartered online test twice and flopped. ((disappointment no 2)
3.Went to submit my Cv at enterprise bank at Wuse zone 5 the woman Rudely turned me down so i Gate crashed Enterprise bank test they balloted i didn't pick a number. ( disappointment no 3)
4. submitted my cv physically at unity bank they called for test i wasn't called i gate crashed but was not allowed to write. (disappointment number 4)
5. have been submitting my cvs both online and physically all around Abuja and networking with people i meet at test venues yet no breakthrough (you go to submit CV and security men would be feeling important) how sad
5. Posy gave me 100K to do forex trading (i demo traded successfully for a year and half) i have lost 40k in 2months.
6.have a test in Lagos next week. would use the opportunity to submit my CV at major banks hq

Its had been really though cos you need to handle alot of thoughts and you could lose you mind, infact sometimes i just wished i was a kid again.
i know mine is not the worst case but its bad. please share your stories lets encourage each other.

Omo reading what I wrote makes me nostalgic. I can tune back to the way I felt when I wrote this 2 years ago. So far there have been wins and losses.

let me start with with the losses
1. Lost out to GTB entry level interview. (my fault entirely.) but God knew why.
2. Lost out for Sense world human resource generalist role
3. Was at abuja stadium for immigration exams. (thank God I didn't die)
After the immigration incident I was ready to take a break from job searching for a month (I was fed up). Suddenly I got a call to forward my cv to some one in Lagos.
Got the lagos Job (it's ok for a start. Pay is 6 figures .
I am also currently waiting for Mansard and Union Bank.

For Forex I blew my account from 500 dollars to 48 dollars presently. ( am not given up. I have learnt how to code expert advisors (robots) with impressive results after testing. I am planning to refund my account and have another short. This time fully automated)

I haven't attained the pinnacles I intend to achieve but I am grateful so far.

Lesson learnt
1. Associate with active and smart job seekers ( follow them here on NL thats how I got info for GTB and Mansard)
2. Improve your skills while job searching (certification etc)
3. Actively search for jobs ( don't spend all day watching series)
4.Pray. (Me Pray and fast steady)
5. Getting a Job still has challenges. (office politics, appraisals etc)

Finally. NEVER GIVE UP. Cos tough times don't last tough people do.

Finished my NYSC just this year(February 2015), i have applied to over 50 firms so far, with no reply, went for an interview at UBA bank, but no response ever since. Really need someone here in PH like me so we could rub minds together.

Sigh
I went on google to get the names of all oil companies in Lagos. Then I typed cover letter for each one and attached my cv. Then I sent it to all the
companies.
