God is faithful and awesome! I am one of the many NYSCorps members that recently passed out(batch b '14). In a country where there aren't jobs, I got two offers from to reputable firms in Lagos with two weeks to POP.

Just when it was about a month to POP, I went on a job search frenzy, submitting cvs online and taking online tests. My efforts finally paid of as I got two offers to start today. I was confused but finally picked the best.

Today was my first day of resumption. God is indeed awesome!

I want to sincerely appreciate every single person on this forum for every single word dropped here. As flippant as some of them might seem, they have been of immense help in the times of my searching for a job. Nairalanders, after one year of service, I have been given an offer by one of the prestigious indigenous banks in this country. It is this same word, 'Prestige', that coughed out of my mouth when I was asked the popular Why work with us? question in one of the interviews I had. I answered that it would be a big boost to my ego to work with them. Everything I had rehearsed before the interview sublimed from my head when I was answering some critical questions. The whole thing was just God... Thanks to Nairaland, the three interview stages didn't take me by surprise, albeit it was pretty fast. I learnt a few things, which I am willing to share:

1) Take risks, now that you're young. If not now, when?

Last January, I left my former place of work to further my education here in UNILAG. It was crazy... Leaving work for MBA. From Biochemistry to MBA. No previous work experience, nothing. What guarantee did I have that I would get a job as soon as I was done with my programme lasting two years? Nil. But I took the risk anyways; I resigned from the job I was discontented with to pursue my Masters degree. I was just three weeks into the job. It counted when I was being interviewed for this my new role, as a matter of fact my little experience in those few days helped me to ace my first interview... There was no opening at all, the bank found me while I was preparing for my first semester exams. I had submitted my CV since sometime-around-October last year. If I hadn't signed up for my Master's degree, perhaps I would still be in my former work place with my head sagging in disdain everyday.

2) People lie in interviews, but then...

My interviewer, in one of the interviews, asked me, 'Do you lie?' They say it is an integrity question, I didn't know that. I tried to evade answering the question by giving an open-ended answer, until they trapped me in choosing either a Yes or No. I said No. And the interview said, "That's a lie!" and scribbled something on the paper in his hand.

Because I am running a full-time programme, some persons advised that I tell them I was a part-time student. It won't hurt, would it? Just tell them you're in part-time and when you get the job, switch to part-time. Smart. Now, the same interviewer that asked me whether I do lie paused for a while to observe me when I told him I was running my MBA in UNILAG (That information was not given in the CV they had with them). He then asked me what programme (part-time or full-time). I told him full-time, but added that I would switch to part-time if given the job... Three days later, I met the same interviewer in my school. He was a part-time student, MBA, in my department. Just imagine I had lied again and he asked me something about his class that I didn't know... he probably would doubt I was even enrolled for any degree.

3) Don't wait till job sites send you mails for job links, throw out your CVs everywhere you can online and offline. Advantage? It reduces competition. NBC, for instance, is recruiting nationwide, and tens of thousands of applications are received. Maybe only fifty is taken after all. But some other companies don't want to go through the stress of sieving thousands of CVs, they just go to their Careers mail bank and whittle down the numbers they have by a bit, send the desired profiles test invites, and -- a recruitment process begins. I stole a glance at the list of names of those invited for test when I took mine, the list was about a hundred-plus. Now, in training school, we're not up to 40. The whole process was fast, took less than one month. So, please, don't wait for openings till you send your CVs out, write mails to companies' HR units. It works.

I begun training school last month, amidst my MBA exams. It wasn't easy, but I surely will overcome, by God's grace. If there's anything like luck, I am indeed lucky because I am not the best there is to get into the bank's training school. Friends, believe in yourself. It is not about who's better, just focus on being humble and willing to learn. Certainly, it's been God all the way.

I prayed that this day would come, when I'd write my own testimony, too, as I have read herein many a time. Your own testimony is coming, too...

UPDATE

I sincerely appreciate the fact that almost everyone here regards this matter a very serious one, this alone warms my heart a little. I have read through every single comment on this thread and I appreciate everyone. I couldn't take down the names of those whose comments aligned with my aim of keeping my marriage, but I thank everyone all the same. I realised from a myriad of comments that informing my people will mean a beginning of the end for my marriage. My daughter too is a major consideration. Above all, she's carrying another 6 week pregnancy. I have therefore decided to eliminate (or maybe suspend as the case turns out) informing any of my family members. I decided to play the records to her while I added some words. I started by telling her that my love for her made me decide to talk to her and not to anyone who would possibly fuel separation in my home like her sisters have done. She was shocked because she had never heard any allegation from me towards her elder ones before. She thought I was crazy and I wanted to bring up what was not. Then I played a little while I summarised the wildest words from her sisters which I heard in other discussion. For the FIRST time, my wife couldn't deny ANYTHING as she was convinced beyond doubt that she had been finished. She cried bitterly as I talked further but did not know what to do. But what pained me further was that it was obvious she cried because she saw that I was going to turn to an emperor and ridicule and justifiably disgrace her elderly advisers, NOT really because I was betrayed.

Right there, I was looking for a particular one to play and then even heard what I didn't hear before. Her eldest sister said she had discussed with some other siblings to intensify efforts towards her job search that as soon as she gets a job, she would have to be sending money home for them to create something for her in their town so she could come settle. She cried further as she heard it too. I told her the implications of what she had done to me with her people and then left her in the room because my baby girl was disturbing me. Anytime our voices are not friendly, she interrupts and cries for attention. I took my daughter to the living room and was playing with her.

After about 1 hour, she came to the living room and fell down before me as she cried further, saying "I'm sorry". Then I asked her to state exactly what she was begging me for - her betrayal or her siblings' offence. She knows me very well, she quickly said her betrayal (even though I knew that wasn't the primary cause of her heavy heart). Then I told her I was willing to forgive her in the spirit of upholding my marital vows to her. I explained further that for the sake of our daughter and the unborn one(s), I was willing to forgive her and build a stronger home with her. She felt a little relief knowing that she was getting back into me. I then said "but from this minute, I'm in a ruthless war with anyone, I repeat, ANYONE who is determined to break my home as I now have to guard our togetherness jealously". I stated further that the only thing I would hold against her was if she ever stood in my way. Just as if a thunder just struck and killed someone dear to her, she cried loudly again saying "she had finished her life". She said she would be the one to suffer in the war I just declared and that I should just allow her to call all of them and tell them never to meddle into our affairs again. I refused to fall for that trick and held my stance that my resolve was not going to change and I walked away. Since then till this moment, she has been like a mourning widow. When it was time for food, we ate together as usual and I've been the one trying to talk now. She hasn't spoken with anyone on phone since then, although I don't know about Whatsapp or BBM chat. Now she's waiting for the next available opportunity when she could plead for her sisters again... only God knows for how long the waiting would be. Let me quickly mention that she sent me an SMS from the bedroom a while ago: I CAN SEE THE HANDWORK OF THE DEVIL IN THIS WHOLE MATTER, PLS LET'S TRY TO RESIST THE DEVIL THIS TIME SO HE CAN FLEE FROM OUR HOME. I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF GOD DEAR".... I simply replied from the living room: "ON THE CONTRARY HONEY, I CAN SEE THE HAND OF GOD. CAN'T YOU SEE IT?"

On another note, I do not want to assume that she will not tell her sisters, although it might take a while because she knew they would rebuke her for delivering them into the hands of their 'enemy' through Call Recorder. But before she informs them, I think I'd follow someone's advice here too that I should reveal it to someone who could keep it away from my mum and sisters, which is surely my Dad - just to put someone in the know, in case I begin to smell rat poison in my food... lol. What do you think?
