After graduating from Unical in 2015, was when I knew that shege was real. I was waiting for NYSC so I decided to get a job to fend for myself.
A family friend spoke with my mom and ask that I come and see him for immediate employment. I was excited and told my friend Cyril Ogakwu to tag along as they may be vacancy for more than one.
The venue was somewhere around Murtala Muhammad highway Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria, we arrived the venue with our well starched shirts and trousers, gosh! we looked good and maybe smelt good too😀. At the entrance of the venue, we saw young guys and girls waiting outside; the way they looked at us, I perceived something was wrong, it was either our clothes had stains or we were overdressed for this job.
Keeping hope alive, no atom of doubt as to not getting the job, no reason to doubt, we are able, much able, self encouraged and very enthusiastic about the out come we anticipate, 🤨🤨
Getting very much ready for the interview, we believed our appearance alone will fetch us the job on a free platter of gold.
Come on, we were fresh graduates and prepared to take on the world with the awesome knowledge we had gathered in 4 years, so we were determined to outsmart everyone there and cling the job(smart moves😃). Up until this time, we didn't know what we were applying for.
Looking for Job in the present day Nigeria...gosh it's another tussle to be won after great fight and fortune,
We were ushered in to scantily arranged office, with piles of old and dusty books, casually dumped on rickety bookshelves. The man who was to interview us looked tired of the job and I perceived he was only doing this as a routine.
We introduced ourselves and looked serious, we spoke good and high sounding english to impress, we kept talking for a while before we started piecing together the nature of the job. He informed us that they were a security firm and they employ security men, who they train and in turn send to banks, hospitals, supermarkets etc. Being that we came through a high placed staff, we were assured by the interviewer to be posted to a high profile location or establishment.😃😃😃 I looked at Cyril, Cyril looked at me amazingly 😂😂😂!! Guess what we did next??
Watch out for part 2 of this after graduation Chronicle!!
