sureteeboy: Either u like it or not, freemason is satanic. Regardless of Islam's originality or genuinety, A true muslim shouldn't be part of it

Could you kindly throw some light on the statement "freemason is satanic"?

@OP, you only need to believe in the existence of God/The Creator/Universal Being, or whatever name you please to call it to be accepted into a Masonic Lodge.

Your religion should not be a barrier.

All the best

saxywale:
infact, don't bother wearing that sharp Italian suit as well. it may work against the applicant.

why not, if u're looking to resume as the Corporate Affairs Director

But if u're looking for entry level good paying job, dress for just that

Krucifax:


Na wah oo. You must be using Juju No be you say you want start pure water bizness few months ago for ya papa house??

Guy! Abeg, no let make my oga see me they laff for work joor.

you're just too wicked & badt at thesame time Choi!!

mygirrl:

Abeg forget that thing[i][/i], if you see me dress up for an interview you will think I'm a CEO, I speak very well so its not by that. I can hold very intelligent conversations so stop saying what you don't know

lol. while I don't claim to know it all, how about basic interview skills and your attitude?

Yea, it's quite easy to just accept that "there are no good jobs out there", but the thing is it depend on you.

If you're good and you groom yourself (speak good english, dress for the job you want, LEARN BASIC INTERVIEW SKILLS (this one is very very important) and have the right attitude), the jobs are there.

I've seen people (that I knew before "hammering" & still know) who had no connections and did not school abroad, who have gotten good jobs.

If you've got yourself a foreign degree, good for you. One good advice - drop the accent , it pisses interviewers off . Every interviewer wants to be sure in his/her mind that you can fit in (and work well in teams made of poeple - who are Nigerians living in Nigeria)

Jarus:

Let me burst your bubble: a friend (very close friend that I brought. Lagos) just did Shell medicals, having scaled all the recruitment stages. Guess what? He has no more than 2.1 Bsc Chem Engr from -wait for it - Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi. He knew nobody. In fact, I brought him to Lagos (never visted Lagos in his life. Knew no more than Kano/Bauchi). But a very brilliant dude currently with Oando, waiting on Shell.

Another friend (also a Nairalander) just moved to Addax from Oando for 15m last year. Has no more than Bsc Accounting from Ife (my set) and ICAN. These are guys that don't know anybody.

These are 2012/2013 events, not 2006!

Guys, merit still dey o. I see all tthese things from time to time and these are what make me reach my consistent conclusion that there is still merit if you know your onions.

And I have never lost a job to nepotism. In 2011, about 42 of us competed for Total E&P Economist position (32 shortlisted from Nigeria, the remaining 10 Nigerian MBA/Msc candidates in USA/UK). I didn't get it(one of the guys from US got it) but I knew it was purely merit-driven. That is the competition. Too many qualified people for very limited spaces. Thousands applied, 42 shortlisted, 1 got it.

Nice and true! Same here, many of my boys from school (Unilag)are doing well - they didn't have to knw someone before getting good jobs (even tho I hate the idea of having a job - in all you're still an EMPLOYEE

Encoredme:
Such are very rare cases, it takes a miracle to secure such

And btw, not sure of any easier course to read in school than accounting.

it's just so easy, if you take out the time to STUDY & UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTALS

Hmmmm, nice thread.

I'll try to be careful with my comments here.

Been practicing accounting for a few years now, and in my opinioin, it's not the most interesting of professions - you can make some cool money though, only if u're smart enough.

Hope no one still in school gets discouraged by this.

u do things that should naturally make a lady get mad at you, but she just laffs, or sings "gerrout joor"

when u do crazy/nasty things around her and she gives u a kinda subdued look (with her head tilted to d side) when u do crazy/nasty things around her and she gives u a kinda subdued look (with her head tilted to d side)

Being in a hurry to let go of yourself/ falling too early

Ignoring the red flags

Being too comfortable with just one lady

Being too predictable
