Feel your pain, had this experience last week, went unprepared, despite i did.
Your own was updated CV, me i had one, put for some twisted reason, the pics attached to the portfolio i felt weren't good enough for me. I didn't present it and it cost me. Even my oral, for some awkward reason, i just mixed everything up....
The opening, had a higher pay,better benefit....
I took it on the chin, will learn from it.
Cheers.

I have a job though, but people always look for better opportunies and higher pay.

This brewery company is PLC. Its listed on the NSE. Its multinational.

I had submitted my CV a long time ago. Can't even remember when I submitted the CV.
So I got an sms and a mail for a test.

Before now, I use to have different CV's for different job vacancies. The CV's are actually based on the job title.
So I had forgotten the CV I sent, even when I saw the test invite and the job title.

I checked all my sent mails, but I couldn't find the mail I sent.

So I went to the test hall. Very tough questions I must say......especially the maths.
After the test, we shared numbers. The test finished around 12 noon. I went back to work.

Around 5pm the same day, I got an sms again for an interview, the next day......obviously I passed the test. So I called one of the guys we shared numbers and he told me he was yet to get the sms.
Early morning the next day, he called me and informed me that he eventually got the sms.

On the day of the interview, we were very few. A lot of the guys we shared numbers did not pass the test.
During the interview, I noticed that some lasted for a very long time and about 1 or 2 were short. Even the guy I called, his own session also lasted for long.

Then I was called in. They already have the CV's. They just project on the wall and ask questions. They were 3 of them.

They asked me to introduce my self. When I started the introduction, they were kinda surprised and in the middle of my introduction, they stopped me and showed me the CV I submitted on the wall.
It was one of my driving experience CV, with just an OND, and driving experiences only. No professional job experience. No Bsc, No masters.

I apologized and I told them that I have a more updated CV, where I have all the above mentioned. They asked me for the soft copy. low and behold, I was not with my updated CV. I told them I have it on my phone and I could go out and get it in a minute. They said there was no need and I should just continue.

I saw the countenance on their faces. It was as if they lost interest in the session. They didn't even ask me much question. Infact my session was actually the shortest. I knew that I had messed up. I failed woefully. I even lost interest myself, when I saw their reactions. One of the interviewer had to stand up during the session.

Today, the guy I called the day I got the sms, called me this evening when I was in the office, that he was called this afternoon and they are starting training on monday next week.

I felt so sad and downcasted. I was just not happy with myself, cos I was actually the cause.
How on earth will I go for an interview without my CV? How on the earth did the mail disappear from my sent mail? How would I go for an interview without being fully prepared?

I messed up big time!

Learn from my mistake guys.


Its part of life though!



Cheers.

Humblesam:
Bro congrat in advance....
It all depends on you guys budget,abI pocket.
If she is the first daughter,you'll definitely spend more but all in all 800k to 1 mil can see you through a big traditional wedding..



Infact, it depends on ur pocket and the family of your wife to be..
They can really make it easy for you just like mine.
Goodluck bro.

she is the first daughter.

don't have 800k now o, notto talk of 1 mil, i haven't factored in White wedding.

do you still recollect your list, the one i see online just plenty.

Dasgoro:
This is a direct question to singles on this platform.
What are your fears about marriage, and what are you doing to overcome it ?

Not being able to provide for my family.

hmbassey1960:
U wan marry etinan girl?

yeah, thinking about it, so will like to have an idea what one will spend.

Got any idea?

Benita27:
Guys who usually rave like you're doing now usually have nothing to show for. They hide behind those working to rant. If you must know, women tend to be more productive this era. There are still men who are liabilities to their wives/girlfriends.

Did you see the credit, posted it on here for people to share their thoughts. not raving at all, from what you said ''women tend to be more productive this era'' is based on what Gospel truth? how do you know? hearsay ? or your own experience? and yes there are men who are liabilities no doubt, but there are other angles this can be seen.

One of the wrongest advice i 've read on nairaland for a long while....pls, go meet your mum to talk some things into you, don't embrace life with this kinda mindset...how can someone earning up to an 80-100k be living in debt?, smh....he's either a wasteful fellow or he lives above what he earns which is wrong....no matter how much you earn you should be able to save something every month....this is why we advice people to stop drinking and smoking....atimes it could be addictive but una no dey hear word....ok.

not like i don't save, like i said lost alot due to MMM, trying to sort that out....

and you know of this advice on here you don't take them to heart.

SecondEva:
ensure you marry a girl who has a job so she can assist.

yeah, but most don't even share the view of starting something together or seeing the bigger picture, most caught up in the now.....

SecondEva:
be sure you can look after a family before you decide to start one.

obviously, won't start what i can't handle.

TheMortician:




Thank you. Misogynist and also a misanthrope

From what you typed up there, the last thing you should be thinking about is marriage.

Get a loyal and contented girlfriend first. Make her part of your life until she gets and understand the real picture of how your life is. Then marry her if you want to. Money is not the problem, the heartache and troubles that go with some women in marriage is the problem.

If there's no serious babe in the picture, then I don't think you can handle marriage now bro.

You WILL breakdown if you dive in like that, except you're lucky. Women get special wahala wey they usually manifest when you say "I do".

i feel you, the part of ''Loyal'', ''Contentment'' and ''Make her part of your life until she gets and understand the real picture of how your life is'' is hard o with all these Abuja girls, well the ones have met, it's either they looking for how to even run further in to the ground or you just see through their B.S.

no girl in the picture.

ikp120:
Forget marriage for now bro. Who marriage epp?
It's an unnecessary evil these days.

If you want pikin, get a baby mama bro. If konji hold you, grab a pussy and fvck bro.

Forget marriage! Fvck your people's opinions mehn! Run your life by yourself bro!

i can understand where you coming from, but i did like to have a family.

Airforce1:
Settle whatever debt you're owing , reduce your excess spending, save little money then get married.

I know a guy who earn 45k as salary and he's happily married but to a girl who s also working.

but when does one finish doing that, based on age, give or take it might take a year to sort that out, hoping other side works come out to fetch extra money.

Ghanaian actress of Nigerian and Ghanaian descent, Chinyere Yvonne Okoro, revealed she has been single for more than two years because men just do not have the courage to approach her.

In an interview last Friday during the launch of Glam Africa Magazine in Accra, the 32-year-old told showbiz


“The issue is men don’t have balls to come forward to ask me out because they think I am already hooked or perhaps I am very high maintenance”.

“Also, I may still be single because most people think celebrities are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing partners but that is a very wrong perception.

“A good number of celebs are single because they are confused as to who to accept in their life. You see, you are not sure if the person is coming in because of your fame and money or the person wants to be with you because of real love” she added.

“It is not about money but if a man is not brave enough to come forward then I do not think I want to be with such a person. Anyway, who wants to be with a timid man? She queried.

Contrary to the perception people may have, she does not really have eyes for high society men. She is ready to date a man who will understand her and make her happy.

Asked if she has not come across such a man yet, Yvonne said “No I haven’t but I hope to meet him very soon”, she added.
