We know the unemployment situation is on the high side, however we never knew it has taken has taken a new dimension. A top indigenous upstream oil and gas company invited candidates for a test (over 42,000 applied). One of the requirements stated in the invite is: “charms will not be allowed”. Which means candidates may have been caught wearing charms during previous recruitment. There is also a rumour about yet another firm that invited candidates for an interview, and some were caught with charms around their waist.

It looks like job hunting in Nigeria is becoming war!

However, you don’t need charms to pass aptitude tests, interviews or assessment center exercises, but you probably need specialised coaching on all to scale through successfully. And these services are available in Nigeria.
