Lessons Of Failure by goodwords(op): 9:58am On Feb 09, 2016
Good Morning Friends.

I write to help my fellow job seekers avoid a terrible mistake I made last week. I work in an int. organization as a 'labourer' (that's the simplest description)
Several openings came up and I applied to two of them. I passed the aptitude test then came the other test.
'the instruction' was that you must get a certain score in all the four sections- numerical, reading, writing and administrative sections.
I devoured the first three and was enjoying myself with the arithmetic section ( as a graduate engineer) when I heard 'time up'

I MISSED CLOSE TO 200K A MONTH SALARY.

LESSONS: No matter how easy it appears, instructions first please!
many have begged on my behalf because I was the best overall. But the policy says' a particular score must be reached for each section.

I guess I will continue walking the streets of Abuja again. Or maybe try Lagos.

As my father in the faith will always say. "WE WALK BY COMMON SENSE, WE RUN BY PRINCIPLES BUT WE FLY BY INSTRUCTIONS"

God bless you all

This is a world class lesson, you forgot to add, " over confidence kills faster Lassa fever".

Just God.
