Do NOT, I repeat, do not take the job. If you do, you wouldn't have time to job hunt. Even if you do and are called for interview, you wouldn't have the chance to go cos you're already engaged at your place of work.

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 cry

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

Bruh. I learnt something lately. Which is, work to #learn and not to #earn. You can give in for the job if the minimum working period isn't up to or doesn't exceed a year . Also, work hard like you never schooled and pay attention to whatever they do there regardless being your study area or not . (you never can know who's watching and if there may be a need for promotion) n always remember to invest part of the 35k .

Your distance from home to work will determine if the job worths it

Working from Monday to Saturday including holiday does not worth the pay

Forget about it and keep searching

The Chinese are as stingy as their counterparts India

You are still young to over work yourself on little pay

Hey bro! Its obvious (even to Cobams) that this country is already bleeped up, but that shouldn't deter you from thriving to survive bro.

I'll advise you take the job offer. You never know what tomorrow has in store for you and besides to make your way to the top you have to start from the bottom. The bottom is the most difficult part of the ladder bro.
Accept it and thank God latter. cheers in advance!!!!

35k a month?? shocked

Working 7am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday, that's slavery.

Employers are taking advantage of Nigerian graduates because there are no jobs in the country. I would take the offer if it is related to my course of study but if isn't I won't. You can make that more amount being teacher and conducting home lesson.

Bro, I got such offer from an Indian company years back. Work hours is 7am to 7pm a day off in a week and pay was 20k per month. The Oloshi Indian said he'll add 5k to it for me as I have over 8 years work experience in oil and gas. I rejected the offer because it was insulting to me. Try weigh your options because one fact is that the Chinese job would never allow you look for another job. Then calculate you daily expenses to see what you'll be left with in the end. Naija useless wallai talli

Chinese companies, they have always been a slave drivers and we are more slave to them now that the government have used the Nigerian masses as collateral to borrow money which the masses does not know what they are using the money for. About that job, it really slavery and you will end up working on Sundays. Why not take the job now and see how it plays out in three months vis a vis your transport, feeding, rent, healthcare, clothes and others then you will decide whether to continue or move on.

Re: Accept This Job Offer Or Continue Job Hunting??? by Nobody: 3:25pm On Oct 03, 2019
In my own opinion i would not say you should not accept it. The useless nation we live in has made it so. Awusa just day turn python overnight and swallow 30 billion , we know them na, but yea, life starts somewhere. Dont say because of whatever you would not take up a job at least , you can use it to settle few dues , but pls make sure you dont live very far from your home, if your home is farther from your office, in good faith leave the job and the salary alone, No be you chop that Apple during Adam and eve time. The suffer way u go see no be your mate o, else na attempted suicide you day use play so.
