Good day everyone A friend of mine told me of the following: 'A lady met him for access into Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) HQ in LAGOS, (he works at the front desk) in order to submit her application letter, CV, documents to the HR Dept. He declined, informing her that the advert was fake and the HR Dept wasn't receiving job applications. He also told her to check the advert itself that there was no phone no./website to contact, in it.
The lady then exclaimed, almost in hot tears, that she left Kebbi State for Lagos State, the day before to submit her application etc.' He had to turn her back without submitting her documents, since there was no job vacancy advert from NPA. Imagine traveling all the way only to be given such news. I felt bad and still do for her and others who meet such disappointments!; reason I'm writing this.
He told me of others too, it's just that hers is the farthest journey. Please before you go somewhere to submit your job applications, do the following: 1. Get and call the organisation's customer care/HR/PRO, to confirm there is truly vacancy in order not to (in commercial drivers' language) 'blow empty', thereby wasting precious time and resources. Ensure to do a double check.
2. Be sure to also check the organisation's website to confirm that there are job advert placements. 3. Use mail or email to send your application documents so as to minimise costs where possible. 4. If you have an insider in the organisation, please verify from them before making a move. I said to share the timely advice so that none of our dear applicants will face such issues as the lady above.
I can just imagine the frustration. Above all, success to you all, especially our applicants in your endeavours in Jesus Name, Amen! CC: Davide470, Thank you Esteemed Mod.
