Take the Job bro.. But Npower is even better than this Job sef. I know some beneficiaries that only go to their deployment just twice in a week

You can and will do better.

The 35k is not the problem for me, the problem is 7am to 6pm including Sat and holiday

Hello All.

I have been visiting this site as a guest for 2years, but today I had to sign up as a member. I do not intend to write so much, so permit me to go straight to the point.

I graduated in 2017 from one of the federal university in the South and finished my NYSC last year April. Ever since I have been hunting for jobs so to keep body and soul, I have written hundreds of job exams and attended several interviews but none has yielded any positive result yet.

Last month a friend of mine whose Uncle works in a Chinese Steel Production Company told me about an opening in the Marketing department of the company, he told me they were recruiting for the role of a Purchaser and a Sales Executive and advised that I should go submit my CV for consideration.

I did as advised and the following day I was called for a test. On getting there, I met three(3) other guys who also came for the same purpose. The Chinese HR guy came and administered the test and afterwards only two of us passed and were asked to come back the next day for the oral interview.

The next day I went for the interview and after being drilled and asked several questions I was offered the job. But my zeal and interest for the Job died the moment I was told the job conditions and pay.

Working hours are from 7am to 6pm daily, Monday to Saturday including public holidays. All these for a monthly pay of 35k

I was given the offer letter to take home to sign if I agree with the conditions and return it this coming Monday to resume work.

My fellow Nairalanders, would you advise that I take this job offer considering the conditions attached or reject it and continue job hunting hoping that one day favour would smile on me I am confused, please help a brother

Please help a brother push this to FP so I can get all the advice I need as much as possible. Thank you.

this is modern slavery, working over 65hrs a week for less than £100 a month....

You no suppose ask for opinion again na dis job is stupid use dt strength sale bags cloth shoes anything Tru ur whatsapp dan that slavery

Accept the job offer and start in ernest!!!

What you need at these point is insightful experience and not money for now; learn the much you can and personally develop yourself. Learn everything at your disposal as greatness await you tommorrow with God by your side.

It work for me!!!

Can you hold on a little longer, and believe that something better will come, the conditions are outrageous

I'd advice you pick up the offer:
(1) you build up your work experience
(2) you get yourself busy and enlightened
(3) ...you garner more experience, although, you didn't tell us the location and other commitments....

I once worked in a company were I was made the Manager, Accountant, Driver, Car washer Errand boy, Personal Assistant and my work timing is from 7:am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and on Sunday, my boss will call me to drive his wife and children to his church while he carries empty car at my back and I was paid 25,000. I did this job to the best of my capacity and I grew this man's company from noting to something and the company was the talk of the town till I left for my NYSC. My boss employed 4 persons to do the job only me was doing and the least take home salary among the 4 guys was 60,000. During my NYSC, I heard the company collapsed and noting is happening there. My boss started looking for me to revive it and I told him it was too late. I am still unemployed but is better than modern slavery in the name of job. Poster please run as your leg could carry you.

Collect the job and continuing hunting for job

Hello All.

Thank you.

Reject it. It is because people accept these kinds of offer that employers keep giving them. If they keep rejecting these offers and the companies need someone, they will be forced to prove the offer. Contribute your own quota to the change you want to see.

This is pure Oppression, anyways my sincere advise is Dont accept this insult, as i cant call it offer, try and think outside the Box by learning a trade, its not too late... Put your certificate aside and learn something, your University education will propel your new trade, it will always stand you out... See yourself as an employer of labour in the nearest future... Instead of searching for the non available white colar jobs that cannot sustain you.

How’s the Benz doing?

dunno man,haven't been in naija for a month.

Even if u dey do manual labour sef. You will make something close to that or more.
Honestly, this is slavery. I'm quite sure the job conditions will make fighting your employer an herculean task in the future.
It's like you don't know how these Chinese like work?

I guess we finished service almost the same time, got a kind of job in a manufacturing company around March this year. 35k, 7-7 Monday to Saturday, public holiday is not included.

The pain of the job is, my boss can insult u anyhow, he believes u don't know anything and can fire u anytime. Brother to cut thE story short I stopped last month and start pursing another job.

Ghostty:


I asked for advice not insults.

You're so ill-mannered

.that's what you hear from a 14 year old punk... please ignore

Working in a Chinese firm is like using your own hands to sign your own slavery

My dear friend, take the job and be first and foremost employed. Staying at home doesn't give you a chance to meet people, but going out daily will give you a chance to meet people and get information about better job openings. My sincere advice.

The biggest joke I have seen so far with the comments "experience". I mean when u see a job that experience can be useful, you will know from the job condition. OP, you are better off than this, worst is the job will basically just drain you, you may not even get enough time for yourself talk more of extra to keep up with job search. What do I know anyways?

Let approach this issue with torch light of maths factotums.
#35k per month divided by a month of 30days equals to #1166 per a working day of 13 hours.
#1166 divided by 13 hours your pay per hour is #89.7 approx #90.
In words Ninety naira per hour. Think about it.

This is strange.well,you better take the job and keep hunting while you are on the inside.
It's better than staying idle.

sorry sir please how can u hustle with such job??

The 35k is too poor, I would have adviced you to take it then scout for another job. But from 7am to 6pm, when will you have time to look for another job?

He will not have time for hunting another job/ interview they known what they're doing. But he must start form somewhere.

Accept the job offer..... Life start from somewhere

Godforbid!

Please learn to address people on the internet in a civil manner. Why call him a liar and a punk?

Please swerve and let people with sensible advice comment.

better leave that mugu alone.... person wey don sell him sense give buhari

I've faced such experience before on same job specification with the Chineese company.. They are good in over labouring workers with less pay at the same time giving you conditions instead of pampering you. No conscience at all. Run for your life bro

McAausim:

Bro, just think through this before telling him to accept the offer.
He works about 11 hours daily which will drastically reduce his time for job hunting. He will be so tired whenever he gets home to even apply for jobs.

He works Monday to Saturday, including public holidays which will make him not to have time for other interviews if there's any.

This job will steal his time and opportunities.

My advice, don't accept please.
I once rejected working with a firm because I won't have time for church and it turned out that my decision was ok.
Few months later I got a better job in another state with another firm which is 5 hours (9am - 2pm)Monday to Friday.
