My very good friend was invited for a job interview today in Lekki,very close to Ajah. He really prepared for the interview and even call me to borrow him some cash for transport.

The interview time was 10am,since he will be going from mainland, he wake up very Early, I call him around 8am to check on him,he was already in 3rd mainland bridge.

At exactly 9:05 am,the company secretary call him that the interview has been cancelled, he was already in Chevron, just closed to the venue.

The most annoying part is that she didn't say the interview was rescheduled, but completely cancelled! How can people be this wicked,why allowed him sit more than 2 hours in traffic.

This is not fair.

If INEC could do it and walk away free...

Your friend ought to have proceeded to the company and see things by himself ,what if the secretary has a candidate whom she fear may not be considered because of your friend's profile ,he could have simply check on the people in the office under the pretence that he was not sure of the next date for the interview

Finding your dream job is an internal thing NOT EXTERNAL!
There is no dream job out there . What we have is modern day slavery just like you rightly pointed out.

WHAT IS A DREAM JOB?

To me, a dream job should be that which gives you, TIME, MoNEY and LOCATION freedom.
That is , you can choose when to work, with whom to work and where to work. At same time, it supplies you with steady streams
of income to meet your goals and aspirations in life. In such job, your income has no limit ! You are free to travel to any where you wish whenever you want and your income supply never cease. You dream job should give you fulfillment and sense of service to God and humanity!

IS THE DREAM JOB POSSIBLE ?
Yes, but but many are searching for it in the wrong place!

Friends, I don't know of any job in the corporate world that will give you such. I have searched far and wide, No one!
The only place you can find your dream job is in your mind, your heart of hearts. Your head and your spirit!
Yes! Explore it! Think ! Think !! Think !!!
You have a unique assignment and purpose to accomplish in this life.
That is why you were born in the first place. The day you find your purpose , you land your dream job!.

Search within! I don't care if you are a graduate or not! You have an innate ability or what they call talent or skill .
That is the passport to your dream job in life. Find it, explore and develop it if you don't want to remain in the corporate rat race.

How did the likes of Davido, Omotola, Alibaba, Linda Ikeji, Akin Alabi , King Sunny Ade found their dream job?
You have the answer!
Stop wasting your time in search of dream job where there is none.
Wake up ! For we are in the information age.
The knowledge economy has great respect for the value you bring to the table not your certificate.
This mean any Ade, Obi or Usman can be the wealthy king!
Discover your skills and develop them. If you don't have any, go acquire one.
Find a problem, become the solution and land your dream life.
YOUR DREAM JOB IS IN YOUR CALLING....FIND IT!
ITS IN YOU AND NO WHERE ELSE...STOP THE JOB HUNTING CRAZE!
The rule for the game have changed! YOu can be in your house and make enough to pay a bank manager and his staff?
My story is a practical case study! If I can, you can...Any one can!
I don talk finish!
Catch Yaah!!!




Sighs! That's true

This is not fair.

The HR staff a junior one and the receptionist did this.. maybe her boy friend Or fiancee's CV was not selected.. I saw this happen several times. While.working In Nigeria in a Telco.

The guys in the site acquisition department did this and my colleague who was the team lead and needed new staff didn't know, I knew what was going on but hey since it wasn't.my own team what's my own.. my point is Nigerians do this alot

So next time someone comes here crying that they lost their job or their boss treats them like a slave before you pity them ask yourself how they got that job in the first place, karma comes for everyone.

When the HRM asks if you have arrived they will say that you didn't show up hence they will move on with other candidates and guess what? Her fiancee or boy friend will be among those they are moving on withgrin

Even those of us that claim to have jobs are slaves to our bosses that keep tossing us up and down. I rather have job that pays less, gives me peace of mind and is able to take care of Family's need.
One reason many of us stay in education line. At least you have enough holidays and breaks to upgrade your self. Not 7- 9 jobs that will suck up your hope and pride

verifiablefacts:

that may be part of the interview, testing your patience
lets not excuse disrespect for candidate and poor organisation to be a test of patience. Informing a candidate about cancelling an interview on the suppose interview day is disrespectful, rude and no sign of regards for candidate.

Tell your friend to be calm. He would have gotten the interview invitation through email. He should reply the email copying all other emails of officials that were copied in the mail sent to him, politely asking for a reschedule date for the interview. He should quote the phone number that called to inform him of the cancellation.

Someone somewhere pulled a prank on him.

The things Nigerian companies get away with...a contract of employment is valid even if it was signed one minute ago. He should have sued them immediately.

HR practices in Nigeria leave much to be desired and i believe the high rate of unemployment in the country is a major contributing factor.

I have travelled from Lagos to Abuja for a final interview with the MD of the recruiting company, only to be told that my name was included in error. Although flight fare to and fro were paid for, the psychological trauma, time wasted, and emotional damage are not something that can be compensated.
