Well, thanks for reading:
For your information, i did not gatecrash dis interview, i was invited with a text message, sequel to an online test i did:
''abd plc invites you for a chat blah blah blah!''
i was so excited untill i read further: in 2 freaking days time? in Lagos, v.i while i was flexing in minna! how do i do it? i was broke, just finished service, and d distance? omg! but because d company was worthwhile, i had to run around, borrowed money that evening, borrowed a suit too, and i made it to lagos.
getting to the venue? no much crowd, and the next thing i knew was a scarily consuming heavy voice coming from either of two well-dressed gentlemen sitting infront of me:
''Tell us about yourself!''
I bet you, my heart almost forced itself out of my chest, but i contained it. but till today, i cant really know which of them was talking or both at a time- it was my first interview.
I cannot remember the rest of the story, but i think i messed up badly, i wasnt so experienced, and not prepared too. But it was never a loss!
I held on to the experienced, and i kept applying for jobs, and i bet u, i made it at my following interview with another bigger company.
So my brothers and sisters, if you fall once, it aint the end of it all. Keep the fire burning, and always remember that God blesses only one type of efforts: SINCERE EFFORTS!
(And a sincere efforts is not when u spend too much time on facebuk, but abandoning job search and discussion forums like this!)
There aint no such thingy as luck: Luck is simply defined as opportunity meeting with preparedness!
