hello all. I was wonderring if this vacancy was real, but it really is. Employers in Nigeria are no longer willing to spend their time and resources in building capacity b'cos they are afraid they might end up preparing you for other competitors. so they prefer a ready-made material whom they will tap. to get a good job is not easy, so lets keep the faith and the good time will surely come.
Remember the harder the search, the better the result.
