After about three years of searching for a meaningful job since the financial sector became shaky, I got two bank prospects for I.T. In fact Firstbank gave me two grades higher than my last grade in the bank. I lost my job with Finbank when FCMB pencilled down my branch to be closed down and we the staffers were given letters accepting our resignation that we had not even tendered and silently threatened to resign immediately of be sacked the following week.Ever since then I've been looking for something meaningful to do particularly towards a federal job so NNPC was a very welcome development in that direction. I also applied to several other companies and federal agencies with no result to show.Two weeks ago I got other surprises. I had applied to join the Army and NAF as a DSSC officer since age had screened me from applying for the Navy. Since the Army interview and Airforce zonal screening clashed, I opted to squeeze out time for both since one was not sure which was going to click and so as not to put all my eggs in one basket, and it involved me travelling between Enugu and Lagos a total of 6 times in just over two weeks to partake in both exercises. The will was there, so the way and money came somehow.I want to encourage my peeps here not to give up. The first time I applied for DSSC Army was in 2007 and I've applied to the three services almost every year since then. God crowned my efforts with success in 2013. My first interview invite came in 2011 for the Navy but I missed it as I didn't get the information on time and was not around as at then.2009, 2010, 2012 I didn't get any but 2013 I got both Army and NAF.Never give up on your dreams, it's the worst thing you can do to yourself. Need I say that I also attempted the NDA Regular Course over 4 years (between 1999 and 2002)and the best I got then was to be on Reserve list for 53RC who are going to be decorated as Majors this year.Everyone has his/her time. Try not to miss yours. One can only claim to be lucky when PREPARATION meets OPPORTUNITY.@ Whitejoe, I totally agree with you and pray that this first quarter sees a logical and positive conclusion to the second batch offers as we've put in so much to make it a reality, even the audacity of hope is a testament on its own. Trust in God and He will see you through if it is HIS will for you.This forum has been a source encouragement for me particularly when I posted last. The responses were both heart-lifting and encouraging. I have read success stories time and again here & I pray the shouts of joy erupt soon again.Bigbrothernaija, Terraco, Ssyyggi, Captain Wasville, my brother Solobee45 I see you. All other forumites too numerous to mention I hail you all.It's Vinny1010 signing out.God bless us all!!!
