It's is best you make use of an online platform that will show jobs connected to your skill set or field of work and also give you the ability to have an online interview with your employer right from the app. Meaning you can have your job interview with your Employer while you're in your house with family, having fun with friends behind closed doors or while in transit. With this you can detect if the company representative(s) are scammers or not, without spending your money for scammed interviews. Bogger Messenger and Errandz by Dispatch-Z app are being used by people to get employment.

With Bogger Messenger you can choose to have an Audio or Video call interview with your employer. But it only available for Android s currently.

No firm asks for payment from applicants for any offers.

APPLICATIONS ARE FREE
APTITUDE TESTS ARE FREE
INTERVIEWS ARE FREE
ASSESSMENT CENTERS ARE FREE
MEDICALS ARE FREE
OFFER LETTERS ARE FREE
RESUMPTION IS FREE

Most importantly, a simple google/Nairaland search can save you the stress. Those people never change. Know this, know peace!

Me fall for scam, at this age of information.


I usually say that the only thing that will make one fall for scam is greed and desperation?

If you no find something, something no find you.

Recently, I have learnt to make use of my block button more often.

Seun should do and introduce a block button to this platform.

OP, there has been repeated awareness to ignore this danger zone invite for assessment.
Please next time carry out due diligence by searching online and seek people's advice. This would have saved you time and money. Also, when next you fall victim of this circumstances, please don't pay a dime to rogues camouflaging as authentic employers. Also, companies who want to employ don't boast, rather show excitement when hiring potential employees.

I feel you need to prep your resume as the market is competitive in the shortlisting process. Perhaps you are missing out important things that need to be included in your resume. Finally, take on professional courses that will boost your chances of landing a good job

I applied for various jobs at indeed after concluding my nysc,but I couldn't secure a job in lagos.

So I decided to go back to port harcourt,to try my luck and after a day of applying. I got an email from biohuman crystal consult scheduling me for an interview.

They were three phases of the interview Writing phase,job description and oral phase.

We were about 25 in the hall taking the tests. Simple questions were asked during the writing phase and it rose my suspicion,after that the manager came for the job description and she started boasting of how she became successful as a worker here.

She took most of our time brainwashing us and telling us how the company stands above others that they are some sort of health consulting firm and they pay real well,she was self assertive.

She was asking us to stand if we want to be part of the workforce,we all stood but she insisted that she wouldn't take us all. We were now worried and anxious.

She told us that we have to make a mandatory payment of 20,000, the 20,000 is for our medical and safety wears and the first people to pay would be among the leading team.

Some stood and she directed them to another office for the payment,she left and her second took the lead.

He was asking if we could make an installmental payment of 10000 when they pay our July salary we would complete it from the salary some stood and they were directed to a separate office for the payment. I told him I could pay only 5k at that moment.

He said no wahala but I must be a man of integrity and pay the remaining balance after I receive my July salary. So I paid.

They told me they would send a text message to me and I later received it.(on the picture below)

I came for the training and it was rubbish as expected. They were just boasting on how they've made it in life and they were talking about the job.

They said they consult with different companies on how to live a healthy life,what to eat and the right way to live. We spent almost 4 hours on the rubbish training, later someone called me outside and I answered and he told me to complete the payment that I would be separated soon but the initial guy told me that I would complete the payment from my July salary.

He told me to go back to the training office,after some time I was separated and told to complete the payment before I continued the training.

I just left the premises smiling to myself. Nigerians and scam sha. You guys should be careful out there any job interview message with consult,global,HR with phone number is suspicious

Fooools are easy to part with their money.

Honestly, we have lazy graduates going about with smartphones these days. I m not surprised, all they do with the phone is Facebooking, whatsapping and TikTokking. We see them in the banking hall not knowing how to fill a teller

You will never find them making use of Google search

In the early 2000 some idiots wanted to try this rubbish on us at Ikeja just close to Ipodo road near Ikeja bus stop.
Trouble started when after the interview they announced that we will be expected to pay for the cost of the interview session .
Omo we all got up in unionism and beat them and broke their chairs because at that time we were convinced they have nothing to offer.

A graduate you say? Now I see why you didn't get a job in Lagos. Keep deceiving yourself by calling yourself a graduate while your brain is the same with a kindergarten.

Lol, i actually attended this particular interview, i was so vexed, cuz they kept me there from 8am- 3pm only to ask me for 19,990 for HR training I already have. God be praised I was smart to resist the rubbish offer. This particular firm just be investigated, they re just taking advantage of poor job seekers

@OP is this place any where near ADAMAC by Rumuadara? Seems familiar.


Early this year I was looking to change my job but so I applied via Indeed for a job position related to the IT/cybersecurity /Data science field.

Subsequently I was invited for an interview but on getting to the place the Job they were advertings was not in any way related to what I applied for. Said we should pay for forms to submit to potential clients bla bla bla etc.

Many stood up but myself and another guy said we want to leave as we were no longer comfortable. From that day I decided never to apply to any job opening on indeed.
