Hello All.

I have been visiting this site as a guest for 2years, but today I had to sign up as a member. I do not intend to write so much, so permit me to go straight to the point.

I graduated in 2017 from one of the federal university in the South and finished my NYSC last year April. Ever since I have been hunting for jobs so to keep body and soul, I have written hundreds of job exams and attended several interviews but none has yielded any positive result yet.

Last month a friend of mine whose Uncle works in a Chinese Steel Production Company told me about an opening in the Marketing department of the company, he told me they were recruiting for the role of a Purchaser and a Sales Executive and advised that I should go submit my CV for consideration.

I did as advised and the following day I was called for a test. On getting there, I met three(3) other guys who also came for the same purpose. The Chinese HR guy came and istered the test and afterwards only two of us ed and were asked to come back the next day for the oral interview.

The next day I went for the interview and after being drilled and asked several questions I was offered the job. But my zeal and interest for the Job died the moment I was told the job conditions and pay.

Working hours are from 7am to 6pm daily, Monday to Saturday including public holidays. All these for a monthly pay of 35k

I was given the offer letter to take home to sign if I agree with the conditions and return it this coming Monday to resume work.

My fellow Nairalanders, would you advise that I take this job offer considering the conditions attached or reject it and continue job hunting hoping that one day favour would smile on me I am confused, please help a brother

Please help a brother push this to FP so I can get all the advice I need as much as possible. Thank you.

35k a month??

Working 7am to 6pm from Monday to Saturday, that's slavery.

I asked for advice not insults.

You're so ill-mannered

It is sad and heart wrenching that in a Country Like Nigeria filled with unfathomable largese will suffer detrimentally from myopic leadership. In saner climes, Strict Labour laws are in place to avoid the citizenry from receiving such a laughable request. It is befitting and timely that you mentioned "Chinese company" because these clueless poverty striken bastards are always on the hunt to shortchange Africans wherever they find themselves as to say they never got a memo about the abrupt abolishment of slavery and servitude.

My brother, You should not only reject the Job but Issue a resounding slap to the person who offered in the first place, Can he subject his brother to such inhumane treatment?

Keep the faith strong, Pull up your lace, Continue the hustle, E go pay one day. I LOVE YOU BRO, HAVE A LOVELY DAY

Accept the job offer..... Life start from somewhere

Don’t take it, it’s modern day slavery

That's what happens in private companies, sometimes even Saturday or Sunday

Children like you should not be allowed to use the internet. So many people just insult over the internet where are sensibility and decorum heading to in this country.

use it to drill your self and gain working experience

indeed Nigeria is shithole, working over 10hours a day, for 35k at the end of the month is crazy, our regulatory bodies are not effective.

My dear, I will advise you accept the offer and continue job hunting, a regular 35k monthly is better than nothing.
It's well.

It's not worth it...........When I have got no job for you.. I can't tell u to reject the offer...... Weigh your options very well...... Some jobs end up caging one for a long time...

Na Hausa girl. What do you expect? She's just expressing her innate traits.

And this is coming from a woman

If he takes that job he wouldn't have the chance to seek another job.

Take the job and use it as job experience.

Accept the job offer


hard bread is better than none

Run for your life. That is not a job. You will be frustrated and drained if you work there for more than 3 months. Chinese work in nigeria these days is nothing short of slavery.

Evaluate your options. You alone know your present situation. But if I was the one given my present condition. If you tripple that pay under same working condition I won't accept. So evaluate your options
