Hunnm, the best paying job I ever got in my life.

The job didn't give me time to take care of my wife who had an accident...my family first,then I tendered my resignation,they were surprised but I have to leave.

It took me another 9months before I got another one. But I never regret leaving the job.

Hmmm, what can I say, honestly since I left FCMB, other jobs I have been getting are just crap.

I left my last retail company as the head of administration/facility maintenance manager, just because:

1. I have an abusive female bosses (Both the mother and the daughter, mother the MD while daughter the head of operations.
2. You can imagine a boss sending you home to your parent with all kind if abuse.
3. My heart always beep when I want to leave home for work just because of fear.
4. I was under pay with huge responsibility 100k
5. I work from Monday to Saturday, no time for myself.


Luckily for me, I got another job, a retail company again as the head and supervisor of a store branch, same treatment as above.

You can imagine a graduate being sent to buy Eba, moimoi and all kind of food from mama put

Generally female boss are just mean, sometimes money is not all, you just have to know your worth before you develope hypertension.

What is the essence of earning big and you are not enjoying what you are earning.

No time for yourself not to talk of family.

All company is a barrack, soldier go soldier come, no company is worth dieing for, no matter how much they pay you, if you are being treated badly just like the above except your own company or family company.

The stress was much couple with the equipments and Machines being outdated for a standard 21st century factory. I was required to work overtime, been called at late hours outside my shifts to come to troubleshoot issues and when i do, they refuse to provide a means for me to go back home and rest so i have to stay still the next morning. The pay was not bad oh but I was more like a controlled robot that was programmed with all the remedies of restoring the factory yet having no time for myself. I left sha, got something I hope it'll be different, waiting to resume next month

I left for 3 reasons;

1. Toxic work environment. Staff doing eye service, azz licking all around and lots of senseless politicking.

2. Senile line manager. Mo'fvcka would literally throw his subordinates under the bus once he was in a fix.

3. Poor pay. Considering efforts put in, relative to other staff in same level, pay was poor.

Now once I got an offer and was asked why I was leaving my former job, I stuck to only number 1 and asked in return if my new work place was toxic too...else, j would turn down the offer.

Had it been in a sane Country employers of Labour would have to obey some of the Labour Laws. Graduates are really suffering in this Country.

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.

Beautiful ma'am. Actually I have a client with a very complicated issue. We make a CV for her, she got an invite for an interview, she passed the first interview after our preparation , she was asked to come for the second during which the company did a reference check on her with one of previous employer and unfortunately, they called a company where the CEO was making sexual advances at her. ( it was a one man business tho) The man said alot of negative things about her. When she went for the second interview she was asked why she left that particular job ( you know you can't speak bad of your previous employer, that's the rule she thought) she gave an excuse saying she needed a more challenging....so forth. The whole interview questions and answers thing. The recruiter told her he did a reference check on her and her previous employer said alot of bad things about her, long story short she lost the job.

Nigeria is a very complicated country, things are really tight here, so job applicant have to be very careful.... study your recruiter, study the company, its environment. Always tell the truth!!....

She's got another offer now

Hope you know that there's a PEAK point for this practice?

There's a point an employee gets that he would not be able to command certain amount as salary, no matter his age and experience.

This applies to jobs that require little expertise. That's why no matter how much some people change jobs, they may never earn 200k upwards.

For example, A regular office assistant may never earn as much as 200k because it requires less expertise, and cheaper alternatives are surplus.

My point is that, you should find something that'll make you an expert in your field. Get Certifications and master the latest tools that are required in your Field.

If these two are in place, youll get a very good job within three months.

It depends on your career though.

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

Employmenthub:
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 [color=#000000]Apostle Joshua Selman[/color] 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 [color=#000000]Koinonia[/color] 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.

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?

philip0906:
Lol...unfortunately, that's not how life works. Earnings and taste is relative.

What you might consider to be big pay, is someone else's pocket money or is not even enough for the next man to get by. Some people by virtue of taste, lifestyle, upbringing, bills, ongoing projects, job experience, age, family, plans etc will turn down offers that you would have ordinarily accepted.

Las las, God go bless everyone so that we get to that level.
