Because when you hear a Nigerian graduate tell you that she or he is looking for a good job, all he or she want is a job where he or she will be pressing computer and be receiving like 300k salary every month, then you will see him or her rushing to give big testimony in Church of how God has blessed him or her with good job



I hired a guy, his job role clearly defined he has nothing to do with computer, few months later, he Emailed me requesting that he would love to be transferred to computer department, what nonsense is that

franchasng:
Well said, but unfortunately, all they want to offer to an employer is how to press computer and be using company free wifi to be posting pictures on Facebook, Instagram and browsing pictures of hot boys and hot girls, so they won't heed to your advice

Just stumbled on this...when am making plans to resign from my job by month end. The pay is actually very attractive almost 400k. But the work environment became very toxic after the employment of a new HR.
I pray God will provide another Job worth more than my previous work.

I was underpaid and overworked.

Closing at 8pm. 30k salary for a graduate.

Transportation alone was like 25k for the month. But I needed to leave the house.
Worked there for only 3months and ran.

Got another one for 50k afterwards, I was going to work from Sunday to Sunday, the employer kept on owing. He will pay January salary on the 16th of February and pay February salary on the 30th of March, I worked for 2months and ran after I made enquiries and realized he's owing some staff for 6months.

I stayed at home for a long time before I got this one. I'm being paid just a little above the last one but salary comes every 26th. I observe all the public holidays, close at 5pm dot and I dont work weekends.
I'll keep searching for better offers until I get my miracle job. For me, a good offer is one that pays me well, doesn't owe, and still gives me time for myself. Come work no be come die.

Let us discuss about John and see if he's gaining or losing.

John works at a company.

John earns 120k monthly

Expenses

He spends 1k to and fro

He spends # 700 on food and water

He subscribes 2k for his Internet

He shops every month with 10k


He spends 5k monthly on deodorants and soaps

He pays 3k monthly for electricity

He pays 1k monthly for security

He pays 12k as tithe

He spends 2k monthly for maintenance of house hold equipment

He spends 10k on dstv suscription

He pays 12,500 on house rent monthly

He sends 20k to his siblings monthly

He sends 10k to his parent monthly

He spends 5k on other expensive on visiting friends on transportation

He also spends 10k on a tour


Total monthly expenses = #104, 200

monthly Salary = #120,000

Savings = 120,000 - 104,200

= #15, 800

In a year you would save up to 15,800 x 12 = 189,600

Which is not even up to a wedding expenses even if you save the next 4 years of your salary.

If you were John, would you continue with the Job or quit the job?

Most Nigerians are lazy to be honest and that is why Nigeria is struggling economically. We all want a job that will pay us 1million naira a month and our job role will be to be pressing computer from 9am to 5pm, monday to friday, and on the 25th of the month, they will pay us 1million Naira.


Once you are made a manager or supervisor in Nigeria, it automatically means you are not supposed to do any work again, you become overnight boss bossing every employee around to do the job....

The maintenance manager in a Nigerian company will never touch the spanner, will never know how to loosen a bolt, will never know how to apply grease......that is the Nigerian failed, lazy work setting....but I tell you guys, it is not like that abroad. If you are the manager in a company in Europe, Asia, or even USA, you are the one that will lead the work...you work more than your subordinates not pressing computer and browsing fine girls on Facebook and booking hotels and flights and be forming boss like all Nigerian managers and head of departments do, and reason Nigerian firms don't last more than 50 years.


If you have a relation or close friend that live outside Africa, ask them the work ethics of Asians, Americans, Europeans, etc. You must work for your pay...you must justify the hour you are paid for.


Haven't you guys wondered why your friends and relatives living abroad hardly have time to answer your calls or engage in frivolities like those working in Nigeria It is because they work their pay!!


If you doubt me, try and travel out of Nigeria and work....then you will realize that Nigerians are not working, they just want to be paid huge without working for it.

Don't be stingy in life, learn how to spend.

This is a very tactic questions for applicant especially when they are fired from their previous job.
To answer this tricky question, let's start with things you shouldn't say!.

*Do not say things that express negativity towards your old employer, the recruiter see this as a red flag, they will see you as someone who is bitter and negative and you would not he hired. Ensure your language is neutral and try to be calm.

*Do not over load the interviewer with details and in depth reasons, don't sound defensive and go into details of what happen from your own side of the story.

* You should not lie about the reason you left your old job but be very smart with how you tell the truth! Lying could hurt you if they do a reference check and trust me, most organisations do!. What I mean by being smart about telling the truth is.... not lying but not saying the intended truth...for examples. You don't want to tell the recruiter you left your previous job because you got a better pay in another company, they feel you are all about the money even though that's one the big reasons we work. You could say you left because you got a more challenging job that put your talents into resourceful use and in the previous job your talents was not fully utilised. Or better still you could say because the reward do not commensurate the effort and your cost of service compared to the pay do not leave anything to save. That is a smart truth!. ( but this is when you left the company on your own)

*Do not feel awkward when answering the question try to be calm, your body language could mean you are lying even when you are telling the truth and being nervous denotes a lack of confident in the eye of the employer.


What you should do

*Tell the truth and be Honest. It always pay
*Always give detail not a novel you dont have to tell the whole story in other to make sense that's not the best use of your interview time.
*whatever reasons given, ensure you go back to why you are the suitable candidate for the position they are hiring for. Your focus is not on your old job but this one so stop spending time why you left the old job and start convincing to why you are better at this new job.


If you are fire because your performance was bad.
Do not lie about it. Remember, say the truth smartly. You do not want to say you could not perform because you don't know how to do your task well ...... the recruiter will you as unteachable and someone who does not want to learn.

Answer like this: After some management changes it become clearer that the new director had new expectations for my role that was didnt line up with my strengths so he eventually brought in someone from the previous company who had more experience. This experience taught me that my real talents is (the position you are applying for) I would like to discuss my expertise if you like.

The acceptable reasons for leaving a job would be, better opportunities or a pay rise. Other reasons could be, to change locations or explore other places.

To those seeking for employment, I pray that you find favour today and that this incoming week will bear good news for you all.

My boss's fiancee was my supervisor. She was so in love with me that I was promoted to a rank I didnt deserve. Initially i thought I merited it only for me to discover that my supervisor was in love with me and had masterminded everything. She started making advances. I even had to take her out just to make my intentions known respectfully but she didnt listen. After thinking deep I decided to resign just to avoid future problems. It was tough initially for me after my resignation, had some bills to settle, no money for weekend flexing and all that. But God still made a way and am back on my feet now.

ultimate77:
Bro, with a job of 400k and you are still looking for another one because of a "bad new HR"? Oh common man... 5 months is enough for me to break out from anything "employee' bro, i might suggest if you never gather anything yet. Tolerate the new HR till March gather money if you no get idea of what to do, hit me I have plenty.

Jewessgratitude:
My GM and chairman wanted to date me. The chairman sacked the GM and started his own advances but I still refused, then he relieved me of my duties as a secretary after asking me to resign which I refused.

I thank God today, I on my own after praying to God to settle me that I don't want to work for any body again. By His grace, I'm doing better with peace or mind.

Just got a job in a bank as a teller and it has been frustrating and tedious for the past three months.

Plus the fact that I have to even attend to ATMs amidst the tellering duties.

At the moment, I feel serious back aches and the stress i also feel is from outside this world.

I am not happy with the job and I am currently thinking of resigning without another job on sight.

Pls I need your pieces of advice.
