Got a message that I've been shortlisted for the company interview. They dropped the address. I couldn't even remember which of my numerous applications was inviting me.

Spent the entire remaining days reading hard, starched my shirt, ironed, wore tie, prayed and fasted, abstained from sin, bind my entire villagers.

Only to get there and saw my haggard looking "interviewers" claiming they have millions. Congratulating me on getting the job before finally confessing that they're just GNLD.

I immediately off my tie and hid it in my envelop.

I Got to the interview without my resume and when they asked me for it I just stared back blank faced, my throat was dry and when I wanted to explain that I assumed they should have it, as I started speaking, spit flew from my mouth onto the face of the HR staff. As she jerked backwards, her cup of coffee in her other hand spilled all over her white suit and she screamed because it was hot and she fell backwards onto the glass table which shattered.

I got up and left in a hurry and ended up crashing into the glass sliding door and it broke to pieces.

LMAO!!! Did this happen for real?

Mine was years ago . I say make I try my luck for FIRS. Woke up that morning, carried my everly arranged and gallant CV , bath, dressed up and headed straight to a FIRS branch at Lagos. Back then person wey dey work for inland revenue service na big boy just like Chevron. As I entered the gate, I saw two angry looking security coming my way . They were like "bros who you dey find". Me that I don't even know who I was looking for I didn't even know what to say. Then one of them shouted "pls get out". As a Nigerian graduate wey naturally get ego , I told them to talk to me politely and stop shouting. They even started pushing me , I felt like the ground should swallow me. One sexy chick was passing by (obviously working there ) approached the scene to know what was going on. She told me to pass a call to whoever invited me , I said okay and pretended to go outside to make the call. I jejely walked back home in shame.

Second was months after that incidence, I got a job as a gateman in a firm. Never had I been so embarassed in my life. Customers talking to you anyhow like you're shìt. Infact they see gatemen as lowlives. Infact I used to wear facecap and dark shades just incase I bump into any of my old classmate. I just dey imagine one of my old time coursemate driving in in a sleek car and me wey be gateman open gate for am lol.. well imagination later turn reality. It happened for real. Thank God for my dark shades and face cap but it wasn't enough. . I hid my face when I noticed he started staring at me like he knew me from somewhere.

Thank God for today, ventured into business. Things aren't rosy but as long as God is on the throne, there is hope.
God bless you brotherly, your pepper go rest one day. God go lift your business, you go own your own ride one...

[quote author=NACE13 post=92788018]The day I wore my best corporate wear which was well ironed, even the gator could cut you from a certain distance, with my nicely polished leather shoes, almost emptied my body spray can. Got to the venue and saw a gigantic banner with the inscription "GNLD". I forced a shrug and said to myself, "Probably it's another office since it is a big commercial building".
Ladies and Gentlemen, as I kept going up the stairs, at every turn I could see Chinese faces with "GNLD" written on each banner. Long story short, I untucked my well-starched shirt, while trekking to the bus stop, cussing them (GNLD folks) under my breath. sad[/quote

whatbis GNLD and what did they do.... i wonder cus every person who has named them has something disdain to say about them

Meanwhile the job I got in an oil firm, my babe just sent my Cv to her sugar daddy, and he sent me a message to resume, I got there and the man gave me one kind look like are you the one also chopping my girl? � then asked me to carry something to site, that was how I started, did allot of professional training, had fun, was even using his car, until the pandemic took the job away.

GNLD is a Chinese drug company and they are also into network marketing like Longrich or AIM global. Most times they put out fake juicy vacancies to lure unsuspecting folks to put a call through to them and they act like they are employers and 'invite you for an interview' and when you get there, the kind of disappointment that'd hit you can knock you out unconscious.

I have never searched for job before.
I left Secondary school, two good jobs were offered to me that same year.
My dad rejected them and told me to wait for my Uni admission.
Next offer came, I insisted that I must take the job.
I did.
I was doing the job when I got admission and I refused to quit the job. I combined it with my school.
Thanks to the good boss I had den who always put me on job schedule that will give me enough time for my school.
The job helped me financially. I was like a big boy in sch cos I was financially independent.
I put in like 16yrs in the job.
Later on, I got another 3 different jobs at different period all by recommendations.
Never searched for them.
Now, I am also an employer of labour.
So, I never experienced any embarrassing moment.
It is all not by my strength, but by the divine plan of God Almighty.

Mine was in Maryland mende Lagos 2014

I was working at Chicken republic and I wanted to take a better step ahead so I applied for a driving job in one etisalat company
The pay was reasonable so I was tempted
They sent an address for the interview
When I got to the place, I met so many other guys there fully dressed with ironed sleeves and tie
For my mind shey na for driver work them dress like this ?
Anyway I wasn't dressing bad tho, I was putting on my usual sharp black trouser and and a very white t_shirt

We were all sitted in a mall and given a pen and a book to write on
I was now wondering what kinda interview is this sef
I asked one of the guys there

Me:guy no be driving work be this ?

Guy: omo na so me sef see am oo , I no know wetin concern exam and driving
Make we just they observe Sha

They started asking questions and we tried to answer
One stupid question was asked

"WHEN YOU GET MONEY BY FALSE PRETENSE AND END UP BEING CAUGHT IN THE WEB , WHAT IS THAT ACT CALLED"

My answer : 419 or Yahoo

After the exam them collect our papers, I'm still wondering what has a driving job have to do with all those questions
Some of the guys were now saying , I wrote 5.8 I question 7
Some other said the answer is 7.4
I was just confused as if I'm the only different person there

They came back with the result sheets and started asking who wrote 419 or Yahoo
Omo I no answer ooo , them call the name on top the paper I no answer , I join everybody they look back lol
Small time i tell them say I wan go piss, I japa

My wife even kicked against our Traditional marriage cos she saw it as a waste of money but I told her, it’s was normal.
The combined money we spent for all the court wedding, introductions and traditional marriage is just 70% less than of what my friend spent on is white wedding alone.
Some women like white wedding while some don’t like it

Over 100 sick people liked this post. Nigerians can't even think. All I see is a post done in bad faith, you just want to paint the man in bad light for his inability to get you a job.

In short, you are the guilty one here for trying to defame a man without any fact on ground that he asked you for sex.

You women think because of your beauty everyone wants a piece of you, the man probably didn't want to reply you as many people do everyday or he didn't just want to help or probably he also wanted sex but you the beauty goddess had assumed that the thing in between your legs is what he wants because all d stupid men you have come across all wanted a piece of you.

I'm glad he didn't give you. Your type can easily black mail one without facts and give a dog a bad name just to hang it.

Go into d labor market and slug it out like everyone else did you feel everyone who wants to help also wants sex.

You women should change, there's nothing special with you all. For a gender that was an afterthought and was the last creation of all creation the pride is just too much.

Have a nice day.

There was a temp agency close to my residence that I sort of frequented but I always got the same response, "We have nothing available." I suspected that the reason they were unwilling to offer me a job was because of the color of my dark skin. One day I paid them a visit and saw the recruiter. As soon as he saw me, the guy bolted to a different spot. I arrived there and inquired of him. One of his colleagues told me he was absent. I knew he was lying because I had seen the guy earlier on, so I left. Upon getting home, I put a call to the agency and lo and behold, the same guy (who had disappeared upon sighting me) picked up the call. I berated him for running away when he spotted me and then hung up. Shouldnt have hung up on him though, but thank God that's history.
