@oyndml_: For a couple of months now, I started job hunting in Lagos and seriously, I’m really desperate. But even at the peak of my desperation, I’m still very cautious. This post was prompted by a post I bumped into here on TikTok, where the person shared how she almost got scammed, all in the name of job hunting. I checked the comment section, and then I saw the particular email that this person showed that I’ve gotten a similar mail before. Major platform where I submit my CV are linkedIn, Jobberman and indeed this is where I search for work, sometimes if I get a mail and see a company name, I’ll know that Oh true, I applied here or probably trace it back to the channel. I got this particular mail stating that I was shortlisted and that I should come for an interview on so-so date. I was glad, you know that feeling of at least getting to the interview stage. I tried tracing the email back but I couldn’t find it. Prior to when I got this particular mail, I already had an interview on that same date, and I was already prepared. The location was now the issue for me because that interview was on the Island, while this one was on the Mainland and was somehow close to me. But I later went for the Island one, and throughout the journey I was just beating myself up on why would I choose to go for the Island one when I can save myself the stress of the long distance. I didn’t know God was saving me, when I bumped into the lady’s post, I realised that God may have actually saved me from experiencing what could have been a really bad situation. So, to us job hunters, I pray we land that job we desire, but also, let us all be very extra careful and don’t let desperation make us ignore red flags. because honestly these fraudsters are really moving MADD #jobseeker #scamawareness #jobsearch
