Companies that are always employing people all year round. If they treat their staffs well by paying them well and giving them bonus welfare packages, they'll hardly have any vacancy cos no one would ever dream of leaving. Any staff who resigns would do so cos he/she is relocating abroad.


My company.

I was answering the interviewers' questions. At some point, because of how good I was doing, the interviewer was amazed. He then proceeded to ask me if I was searching for the answer to his questions on google or whether I was using AI. I stopped picking the recruiter's calls after that.

If the boss is too bossy, you will have a hard time because that is the person who will determine your future and mental health. You will have constant communication with this person. If you cannot relate with them, as a person, you will have trouble. There must be respect for the position but if they treat you like trash, your life will remain trash while they're there. YOUR only compensation will be salary, the rest will be tom and Jerry. Pay attention to the interview with your line manager, interview that person more than they interview you.

One man business . If you like yourself,no matter if that one man is a billionaire run!!

You are better off as a clerk I'm structured organization than a GM in a one man business.

There is a reason why one man businesses fail eventually.
No matter the salary run far from working for one man businesses

Thank me later

Wasn't really a declination, but like prelim stage interview

Had a video call interview once. The recruiter appeared to be talking to someone as he kept turning to look back.
I even had to pause, because I kept loosing my trail of thoughts.

After the interview, I enquired about the company values, as they weren't stated on the website. Then he began, highlighting them and mentioned respect as one of them.
I got him there! I told him right away, "You obviously didn't display that."

He started blabbing , no he was this that... I schooled him on core values

I think he realised that this guy clearly had values (2005 grad, worked for many multinationals, currently MD/CEO of a company).
................and I am of the opinion that he tried to save himself from embarrassment, and that was why I didn't hear from the company. I really schooled him !

Looked him up on LinkedIn, and saw he studied chemical engineering (2017 grad) and was doing recruiting.


Clearly not a company I would love to work for.

Funny, its a very popular company covering Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt

Education is another form of modern slavery.

Why should one needs to get degree, master, P.hd, Doctorate, NNPC while wasting so many years achieving that and still end up working for those who created the education system. There is no even certainty of jobs after wasted so many years collecting papers all in the name of certificate

The moment you can agree with that concept, your perceptions about things will change.

I wrote something about it like a month ago or so

Where do you work at?
Whynow(m): 2:24pm On May 17, 2024
What do you love doing ? ion ?
What are your strengths ? weaknesses ?
Are you able to learn /explore new ways of doing things ?
Are you people friendly / sales ?

Largely , it starts with you, even before thinking of what and how !

There are a lot of things to do .
- Keeping it simple;
- capital,
- place/ location (market intelligence) ,
- competitive strategy / price (you are not always the first)

Start with these tips

If everyone one takes your advice, where will they get the skill, Proficiency and experience to grow?
My first job was for a very bad company, a dying one man business. But it was the experience and exposure I obtained from it that landed me my second job.

No. You're the tribalistic one here. Your tribal mindset is your problem. You're a child. So you went for induction and already know there are only Igbo people there? If they don't employ other tribes how did you make it to the stage of induction? Mtcheew!!

A wrong perception bro.You don't judge a book by its cover. I bought my Car were I am working at present. It is at home because of the bad road and I don't dress to.'kill' because of the nature of my work.
