Op you were just not well informed by your link whereas the other was well fed with the necessary infos Hence Giving him an advantage and I won't be surprised if the said guy SSCE holder actually bags other Degree well maybe itz Because his own link to the job is an inside source who knows the drill while your own link is either and Outside source or an inside source who just doesn't care..

You went for an interview without knowing the position on offer and the qualifications needed? Hmmm
Re: My Funny Yet Sad Experience As A Job Seeker Today. by Tunababa8v(m): 7:51am On Oct 11, 2016
Many at times people spend more than 1k in day on things that doesn't add value to their life simply because they believe 1k can never start or return any thing meaningful..
But you are wrong!
Mathematically brilliant brains have put 1k in a tested and trusted system and they are turning 1k into 2M (yes! you heard me) in five to six months..
Which business can you do with 1k and generate that amount in Six months...
Show me that business and I will show you a lizard with a beard..
Stop wasting that 1k on things like betting, lotto today.. Invest it and let the mathematical geniuses help you turn it into gold..
There are people who are looking at recession in the face and giving it the middle finger.. Join these people today and let just six months patience turn your 1k into Gold.. You will thank me later.. Contact me on watsapp, check my profile to get my number and I'll add you to this group of geniuses for free.

I actually knew of the position on offer but not the qualifications required. The wrong thing I did was to try to impress them with my qualifications, n honestly I wasn't well informed n I didn't bother to do background checks.

it's well brother. most times its advisable to just strike up a conversation with other interviewee(s). with that you can easily deduce discipline, qualification & other random information before the interview starts. most people are highly informed about some interviews even before hand.greater things ahead for you

I said yessir, he was no no no no no no! young man u r over qualified for this job o...we only want people with ssce or ond.

Omoh! Na so I begin sweat inside chilling a.c o! my legs begin shake, my mouth dry, my eyes watered n my ears started making wooooooo sound! this one na reality check 10.0

I think he said so many things that sounded like words of advice but I cud barely hear him, what I can still remember him saying was that I was over qualified for d job, based on my credentials n experience n that doing what they were offering wud b like a step backwards for me...in my mind I was like arrrgh oga d salary would elevate my status o, infact why worry my worry for mehuh but I cudnt say nada becos of the Wooooooh sound from my ear n also becos he was a brig gen D; I cant afford to enter guard room Ontop dissappointment o.

U should have insisted that you needed the Job, if the pay was juicy. ''DO WHAT U FOUND UNTIL U FIND WHAT U WANT''
Qualification doesn't matter ooo!!! what matter is to solve problems. I believe that job is better than promise... Good Luck.

Omoh Its been almost 4 years since I made this post grin grin grin.
Omoh about 2 to 3 weeks after I made this post, I got an internship position at a GIS firm in Kano, did my time for a year plus, got retained as a permanent staff and have been promoted twice since then. My life has been generally very very comfortable I must say (Alhamdulilah).
I'm writing this to thank everyone who said a prayer and dropped kind words when this post was created, I really appreciate and I trust life has been good to you all as well. Cheers!!

i been finding it difficult to shiit for some time now.. this your sado-funny experience just made me shiit my intestine join..

just so you know.. this one is a stepping stone.. God has got bigger plans for you..i am sure.. you just don't give up.

you even get "small" connect.. 80% of job seekers are still stranded coz they don't have any connect, no financial and moral support and no legs to spread..


i have a friend that is willing to spread his legs just for a #50k job but the ogas-at-the-top prefer natural "leg-spreaders"- ladies (cute or not)


I thank you for all your kind words on this day, God indeed had greater things planned for me!
