We all know getting a job in this country is another hell graduates is going through till date, talk more of getting a dream job.
I will try to be brief as much as I can.
Haven applied for so many jobs and attended some interviews, I finally saw one graduate trainee job (my kind of dream job tho) as at January this year. Although is a banking job which is actually my dream job. I wrote their aptitude test which I passed. We were eight that was invited for their interview out of over 70 candidates that applied and I was lucky to be part of those eight. To the glory of God I scape through at the first stage of the interview. At the Final stage of the interview (One on one interview) was where my righteousness or should I call it "Being Truthful" deprive me of my dream job. You may ask how did I know, but the truth is, that is what deprived me of getting the job. I don't want to explain further on that just to cut the story short.
The question they ask me that lead to my disqualification was: "Do you know anyone in this bank?" And my reply was "Yes". And truly I know someone working there but he wasn't even the one that ask me to apply. I only came across the job and I applied. But I never knew I'm suppose to say NO, I also never knew the answer will snatched the job away from me.
After all the sacrifices, sleepless nights on night journey from one town to another, After almost getting an accident on these our bad road, not to talk of the time and resources I have invested in getting this job. look at my life?
See where my righteousness has brought me into?
Just yesterday some of my colleagues got invitation for their medicals. And since that yesterday I have been so deeply down. I feel depressed. I feel like just giving up. Why me? What is really wrong somewhere that I don't know?Just imaging the kind of opportunity I have missed even when I know age is no longer on my side when it comes to this kind of job...
Honestly I'm tired. I feel like not going to church today. I am confused and feel like it's over. 
Sorry to hear this, but it is not that question that made you lose that job. There were 8 finalists but there is always a preferred candidate. In 2007 I interviewed for LNG (my dream job). We were 2000 candidates and finally reduced to 4 but I was not the preferred candidate. In same 2007 I had a bank interview. From 400 we were 15 left. I failed my interview ( I know because the interviewers told me I was too opinionated and too argumentative) I was basically asked to leave the interview room. But what is yours is yours. I got the job. If I had been in LNG, I would still be in LNG, but my stay in the bank (it was difficult and toxic) hardened me, built me and pushed me to where I am now (and I love my life at this moment) This job was not for you 5 Likes |

Sarah and Abraham shared the same father but different mothers. While on the other hand, he did not disclose that Sarah was his wife for the fear of being killed, he said she was his sister which on the other hand was the truth. I believe this is the reason why he was not punished by God. |

Boy, saying you know someone in the bank is not the reason you lost the job. Even in UK visa questionnaire, they ask if you have friends and relatives, u better answer truthfully, because if you say No and they later find out that u have, u are in big soup.
Banks dont employ close relatives, like husband and wife or brothers and sisters, but the employ friends and distant relatives. 3 Likes |

With the way you wrote, are you sure your poor English speaking was not the cause of your disqualification? Because of this small rejection you don't want to go to church again. Oya go beer parlor now and let the bottles see you through in life. You are the type the Bible says faints in the day of adversity because your strength is small.

Dear brother barney, you got it all wrong. If are truly intelligent to made to face to face interview. Should have known the purpose of asking that question which your answer should have been NO which is the truth coz is not the person that you know link you up and you decided to tell lie coz you think that might help you out. So you see that its ur unrighteousness that made u to lose the job. Your lesson should be ve more faith in ur God than men. |

Well, your story is not entirely complete!
From the best of my knowledge, knowing someone in a bank doesn't and will not disqualify from getting a job, the only exception to this rule is, if the person you know has the same surname with you(I.e., family related) and there are way's around this to get the job if you're qualified fo
I've an uncle that's one of the top MDs in Sterling Bank and, he helped quite a few of our interested family members get a job even though it's same surname but different bank locations/states or branches.
Btw, in the western world, Referrals is highly encouraged in the workplace and most companies give salary bonuses to staffs that referred a right candidate for the position the company seeks. |

I feel your pain. .. But think of Abraham, the test he went thru. Think of David, when he was been hunted by saul and he was dwelling on the wilderness. Someone already chosen by God. How he was begging for sustenance. How Absalom chased him from the throne Think Of Elijah. How he ran from Jezebel. With all his anointing. Think of your savior Jesus. What he went thru. Now think of your own challenge. This is what I want you to do. Go to God in prayer and explain (petition) him that you lost a job because of keeping his commandment. Tell him to compensate you for this loss. Trust me, he will give you something better. Pls remember to quote me when it happens. I will put you in my prayers too 2 Likes 1 Share |

That question is in no way has anything to do with you being successful or not at the interview. I know some banks that relatives still work even husband and wife and they are fine with it. Knowing someone in an establishment is not a crime telling them the truth is not being over righteous you have done the right thing they might still get back to you and if not just move on knowing that the job is not meant for you.

After all the sacrifices, sleepless nights on night journey from one town to another, After almost getting an accident on these our bad road, not to talk of the time and resources I have invested in getting this job. look at my life?
See where my righteousness has brought me into?
Just yesterday some of my colleagues got invitation for their medicals. And since that yesterday I have been so deeply down. I feel depressed. I feel like just giving up. Why me? What is really wrong somewhere that I don't know?Just imaging the kind of opportunity I have missed even when I know age is no longer on my side when it comes to this kind of job...
Honestly I'm tired. I feel like not going to church today. I am confused and feel like it's over.
