Ain't. Making sense sir... This thread is not for your kind... Just read on

If all you've been able to do is gagged with laughter and never trilled by the various narrations, then I don't think you are getting it either.
Look at it once again. Imagine the various frustration which precipitated the different experience and lessons by individuals that have made them not to have forgotten the experience... Amidst of which some have not being able to sort themselves still... All you can moved to do is laughter alone? You have to think again!

I was once called by one of the big entertainment center in Edo state for an interview, that very day I was so exited and highly elated, I had high expectations and hopes that i was about to start a career in a big firm, I ironed my trousers and starched my shirt.
On that faithful day I matched magestically to the center for the interview there i met other potential employees, I was confident in my self because I know the kind of stuff I am made up of.

It all began when we were asked to que up and one after the other we began to go into the office of the MD for the interview. I was eager for it to get to my turn as I wanted to unleash my persona on the MD.

Finally it got to my turn and I walk into the MD office head high, when I got there I was asked to introduced my self which I did, the MD was an Indian man asking me all sort of questions in his Indian ascent I kept answering him and lecturing him on the job of which I was being interview for..

When he was satisfied that I could handle the position effectively it can to the stage of salary negotiation..

He asked how much will I like to be paid I told him i am open to negotiation. Then the shocker came he started from 10000 then 15000 and finally he said the best the company can pay is 18000 naira.

I just walked out of his office and started heading back home

Lesson : you should not judge a book by its Cover.

I am still job hunting, praying hard to get a job at least that can make me settle down and start a family.

That's my story

Lols...
That's how I have come to form a perception about Indians. They are rip-offs. That's how one bargained with me on #500!! In a supposed Oil company o

Re: What Is The Most Ridiculous Job Offer You Have Ever Received? by hotplate: 9:58am On Jul 16, 2019
I just felt the need to share my story..

Rewind back to 2017 after graduation while awaiting NYSC I decided to get myself busy. After searching for job all through the street of Benin city I fininally found one at 7up bottling company in iguosa/oluku. Having no idea of the job description I walk up to the receptionist who gave me an insight and told me it was a factory work, wat to do? I said no problem she then directed me to one oga segun who his suppose to be the one incharge of factory workers so I met with the oga segun he asked what my name was and why I think I will be able to work in a factory after giving him satisfactory answers, he gave me my job description which involves arranging 7up or pepsi product into their truck.. and for every 40creates u pack and arrange u get #100 naira, I don't have any choice I accepted. I resumed the next day and after I've worked for about 9hrs I was only able to arrange 400 creates and I was giving a #1000 naira but when I got home I couldn't stand up the next day that was the last time I entered there. I just decide to go learn a skill and by God grace I will be finally going for service by August...

But hearing the tales from people in Lagos too am surprised because a friend of mine has told me how their are a lot of jobs in Lagos and u even get paid while learning a skill there, according to him he was earning #40,000 naira per month while learning plumbing in one of those tech companies in lagos

dannybrasky:

Back then in Bariga after secondary school,did waec and was waiting for result . As a born hustler,I would do any legit job to make sure I have my own little cash at hand. Name it, any hard job,omo boy was always ready lol.

I tried hard but couldn't get something to do until a friend of mine asked if I would work as a sand lifter with basket from the lagoon at bariga. Mehn I was do danm happy like yaay I have finally gotten myself a gig lol,but guys I was wrong as what I saw wasn't what I expected grin

Got to the lagoon down down after king sunny Ade's house,can't remember the name of the street. From the lagoon you can clearly see third mainland bridge.

Oh b4 I forget,being overwhelmed with happiness I didn't bother asking what the pay was like. Fast forward got to the lagoon,saw some giant well chiseled bros them, going into the lagoon with basket to park sand and then bring it to the shores of the lagoon. As a strong omo boy I was still like no shaking I go chop this job for breakfast easy pizzy lol.

Then came the shocker, there was this bros that was suppose to direct me on how to go about it,his name is Egbon Mufu. I asked some of the guys at the shore pls I'm asking for egbon Mufu,and then one pointed me at a direction and said there he is. Egbon Mufu was just coming out of the water with heavy basket of sand looking huge and well chiseled like a Greek god. I watched the way he struggled a bit to find his way to
shore in order for him to dump the sand he got from the lagoon.

He dumped the sand, stood there and was breathing heavily. And then one of the guys called him to inform him I was looking for him. NOTE, egbon Mufu was backing us when he was called upon,reacting to the call egbon couldn't turn his neck he had to turn his whole body cos his neck has already gotten stiff due to the pressure from the heavy basket of sand he carried couple with latic acid burning. In my mind I was like wtf,na so I won take die? Na so my neck go come break grin We concluded on how I would go about the job,he told me to pull of my clothes as I have to work with boxers alone lol. Me wey be say as soon as I saw the neck issue I already made up my mind to salo lol. Na so I tell am say I no wear pant say make I go buy boxers to wear grin He then replied saying eat b4 u come back o,I say no wahala egbon.

PrinceGallant:
Fully prepared for the interview, I left Ibadan to Abeokuta to attend the job interview. I went to that venue and met some other job applicants. When it was my turn, they asked me just only two questions not related to my field of study. I was asked to introduce myself, after that, they asked if I can tell lies. And I told them frankly that I tell lies.

Going out of the venue, I met some other prospective workers, they blamed me for saying them that I do tell lies. I just ignored them and travelled back to my state.

The following week, I received a call to resume for the job in Lagos. I was elated and.... They only employed me to go and tell people lies. They are agent consultant to Ogun State Government, they collected revenues from small and big companies on behalf of Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

I have to convince the owners, mangers, proprietors of companies and schools benefit of paying tax. We operated in Berger, Mowe, Akute, Alagbole Axis.

Worst, we succeeded in revenue collection but they did not pay us our meagre salary. They would say they have not met the target to remit to Ogun State Government. They are still owing me four months now. Though I had left since 2012.

Was expecting the part of them owing you.
That's what happens when you work based on lies.

So after my final exams in the uni, I was yet to be shortlisted for nysc. I got a connect to teach in a private sec sch that had population. The principal was a nice man, and the school was my Alma when they only had primary section. I went to the interview with nothing as I was yet to get my statement of result from the University. The principal along with one of his vice principal took me to ss2 for test running. I was told to teach geography spot on. Well, I did. I just collected one of the students her note and naturally read everything out cheesy grin grin. 10minutes into teaching test, I was stopped by the principal and we headed back to his office which was quite fancy. He told me I was employed and that I'll be teaching jss1 to 3, Social studies and home economics. Ss1 to 3 geography and physics. He handed me 12 80leaved note books, 1 for each subject and class and told me to start writing my notes of lesson. He said I'd have to be writing those notes weekly and submit it for marking. I told him I studied engineering and I've not the smallest idea on how to write a note of lesson. He said it's a digital world I should visit the net. Funny man. All the while the principal's voice was so loud, but when it got to negotiating salary, it turned into a whisper. He said the sch is ready to take a chance with me, so they'll pay me 10k.
Wait? 10k each day?
No 10k per month
Am I to come only when I have periods and leave thereafter?
No, you come every day. 7am and leave after sch dismisses, 2:30pm.
I shook his hand firmly, told him thank you. Grabbed the 12 notebooks and left. I gifted the books to my cousin who was in jss3 as at that time in a public sch. I'm sure the 'God bless you' the little boy repeatedly told me has also been a push for me.
I'm almost rounding up my nysc, I'm serving in a private firm in delta.

I remember this betting job i took as an attendant from Monday to Sunday no time to rest even his customers pitied me most times upon all salary was just 4000 per month worked for three months only 2000 was what i got due to shortage i recorded on daily basics. Upon all he would insult me always telling me am a lazy type in the presence of his customers. It was so bad but thanks i won up to 19k at a point of time. Fast forward a week to leaving his office his WIFI connection got missing so he said ill be responsible telling me ill pay from the money he gave me months ago from the 19000. I was threatened with the police but due to my bravery and support from his customers at the office i was free. Only annoying thing was the fact he drove me home to my parents as if i stole his WIFI connection. Looking back now i always ask myself i did i actually work a month for just 4000?. I conclude self employment is still the best you own your company nobody has to insult or take away your leisure time.

So I got this job of an Electrician in a furniture company at Bode-Thomas. Though the pay was meager but I decided to boost my knowledge since !y role goes in line with !y qualification.

I got paid on my first month of joining them, but subsequent months no pay, I would walk from Ijesha to office to and fro on daily basis.

The CEO would get supply of millions of naira, the next thing is to fly abroad with his wife to enjoy. His workers that brings the money are left to suffer, he doesn't care.

I decided to resign but the MD pleaded that he would speak with chairman, and he actually got him convinced and he increased my salary with more responsibility; that I would now supervise cleaners. One of the cleaners told me that he was also employed as furniture technician until he was asker to supervise cleaners now a full time cleaner.

Na so I resign fully; the small salary you can't pay how am I sure you will pay the new pay.


I got a teaching job in IKD, I worked for barely three months and a govt job offer came my way.



Oh my!....see tears rolling down my cheeks from lauging

O boy see people experience 4 job matter, e no funny o!

Mine was in 2013 after my NYSC in kwara, i decided to call my dad friends wife who happens to be working with fed ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja,

Me: ma I'm through with my service
Madam: Oya start coming to Abuja,i think u know kubwa
Me: Not really coz i have never been to Abuja no to talk of kubwa
Madam: OK don't worry i will send u address
Me: Alright ma.
She sent me address after two days of our conversation, Boom! The next day i boarded a bus going to Abuja from iyana ipaja with joy in my heart say "i wan go work for ministry" .
The quantum of joy i experience during the journey cannot be measured even if you use tape rule lol!
I said to myself if na die we go die there together shebi na Abuja i must make am(well it was my first time of entering Abuja don't blame me though).
I got to Abuja(Zubwa) around 11:30pm that night but i no fear say na night we dey because i just don't know where i got the strength from, anyways i decide to charter car from Zubwa to Kubwa lol! Well thank God her house was easily located; Damm her house was beautiful, i said to myself again if this woman fit own a mansion why me no go fit(but i never knew i was dreaming).
She was the only one staying in the house coz her husband normally come home maybe weekend and her only son is in the USA studying.
After like a month of staying with her, to cut the story short! no job, no movement, no money for my hand again(after spending all my alawee for transport and stuff) she told me not to worry that she is working out something for me at her place of work(Ministry), That for the mean time that i should be washing her car so she would be giving me something to use hold body lol! I obliged o, i come dey wash car for her; 3months don pass i still dey wash her car, her friends car, even some neighborhood people self dey bring car to help them wash.
After 4months i told her how far the "Ministry job" she told me that the position that she wants to fix me in is taken by somebody else that i should be patient, i got angry and told her that:
Me: I am leaving for Lagos the next day say i get interview in two days time.
Madam: why so soon, after all my effort you just want to go to Lagos just like that
Me: yes ma, i have an interview in two days time and i don't want to miss it
Madam: o really
Me: yes, since i came here i have never submitted CV or you collecting my CV not to talk going for interview Madam: what about setting up a car wash for you here(Abuja)
Me: na so i open mouth(so na car wash dis woman want make i come dey do for Abuja)

Till now the woman no know as i take reach lagos.

Back then in Bariga after secondary school,did waec and was waiting for result . As a born hustler,I would do any legit job to make sure I have my own little cash at hand. Name it, any hard job,omo boy was always ready lol.

I tried hard but couldn't get something to do until a friend of mine asked if I would work as a sand lifter with basket from the lagoon at bariga. Mehn I was do danm happy like yaay I have finally gotten myself a gig lol,but guys I was wrong as what I saw wasn't what I expected grin

Got to the lagoon down down after king sunny Ade's house,can't remember the name of the street. From the lagoon you can clearly see third mainland bridge.

Oh b4 I forget,being overwhelmed with happiness I didn't bother asking what the pay was like. Fast forward got to the lagoon,saw some giant well chiseled bros them, going into the lagoon with basket to park sand and then bring it to the shores of the lagoon. As a strong omo boy I was still like no shaking I go chop this job for breakfast easy pizzy lol.

Then came the shocker, there was this bros that was suppose to direct me on how to go about it,his name is Egbon Mufu. I asked some of the guys at the shore pls I'm asking for egbon Mufu,and then one pointed me at a direction and said there he is. Egbon Mufu was just coming out of the water with heavy basket of sand looking huge and well chiseled like a Greek god. I watched the way he struggled a bit to find his way to
shore in order for him to dump the sand he got from the lagoon.

He dumped the sand, stood there and was breathing heavily. And then one of the guys called him to inform him I was looking for him. NOTE, egbon Mufu was backing us when he was called upon,reacting to the call egbon couldn't turn his neck he had to turn his whole body cos his neck has already gotten stiff due to the pressure from the heavy basket of sand he carried couple with latic acid burning. In my mind I was like wtf,na so I won take die? Na so my neck go come break grin We concluded on how I would go about the job,he told me to pull of my clothes as I have to work with boxers alone lol. Me wey be say as soon as I saw the neck issue I already made up my mind to salo lol. Na so I tell am say I no wear pant say make I go buy boxers to wear grin He then replied saying eat b4 u come back o,I say no wahala egbon. If I'm to ever see egbon Mufu again that would be today grin I jejely went back home to hug my bed grin grin grin Too young to die grin


I just almost died laughing! grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

One thing I realize is that you likely won't know your worth when you are broke. During my days of job hunting I was so broke that I felt elated when a tutorial center accepted my application to teach. N750 per period twice a week. I needed something to atleast eat. Damn me!!! Fortunately I got an offer a week later for a better Job (N3M+ annual pay). In fact I got to decline two other offers paying some fraction lower. I feel for job seekers. Despite I only spent 3months after NYSC, I passed through hell that I wondered how people survive months to years being jobless.

your story is inspiring
