Topic: ABOUT THE RECENT GLOBAL FLEET RECRUITMENT

If you really want to know what went down with the recent global fleet recruitment you applied for or why you were not called up after all the time, effort and money spent in designing your C.V, application letter and hours spent in traffic, just trying to get to the VGC office of Global Fleet Group, continue reading this post. If you aren’t interested, just click on the “back” icon. No hard feelings. Please take your time to read this ‘cos I spent some time writing this.

First I have 2 questions
(a) How many Covenant University (CU) alumni have you seen job-hunting on the streets or online (especially on this website)?

(b) Do you wonder why there is hardly any news about the Global Fleet recruitment anywhere?

I will provide the answers shortly. Please just read on.

I had my closest encounter with CU graduates in my NYSC camp, batch ‘B’ October 2007 in Fika camp, Yobe State. Contrary to my expectations, they were a very timid and unapproachable bunch. During camp registration, which happens for the first few days:

(A) If you noticed anybody who kept asking you this-and-that about what to fill in the forms, such a person was definitely a CU graduate (in CU, there ain’t nothing like course forms, departmental forms, faculty forms, e.t.c. everything is computerized which is actually a good thing ‘cos everything these days is IT based).

(B) If you noticed any group of timid friends, huddled together like frightened mice seeking protection from outsiders, those guys were CU graduates.

(C) If you noticed any individual who timidly stood outside the unending queues (especially the allowee queues), with a pondering look of; whether to beg for a space on the queue, jump the queue, or just stand outside the queue praying that someone might just take pity on him/her and allow him/her into the queue; such an individual was a covenant graduate. Last but not least:

(D) If you made a friend in camp, but noticed that such a friend was always reluctant to reveal the name of his/her institution, such an individual was a CU alumnus.

Please note the following:
(1) I do not use the terms ‘timid’ and ‘timidly’ loosely

(2) All the above NYSC camp observations were made first-hand.

Sorry for the diversion, but I’m only trying to build my point. Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim CEO Global Fleet Group (May he live long) is a member of Winner’s Chapel (May God prosper them). I got information from a very reliable source that stated the following, “Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim told the graduates of CU (which is an affiliate of the Winner’s Chapel), that whenever they graduatefrom the institution, they should not source for jobs, but should approach his conglomerate, therein lies vacancies awaiting to be filled (exclusively for CU graduates)”.

DO YOU ALL NOW SEE WHY THESE GUYS WERE GOING TO BE EXEMPTED FROM THE FIRST STAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT EXERCISE? NOW YOU ALL KNOW WHY. You did not get this from me o.

Any critic or doubting Thomas is free to make own researches on the above facts.

In these days of intense and ‘cut-throat’ competition within the workplace and amongst corporations, does incorporating such timid graduates managers, who would later become future heads seem like a good idea? No it isn’t. I have no qualms against CU, Winner’s Chapel or Jimoh Ibrahim. What I am against is that that: why was an advert placed in most of our national newspapers and online to raise the hopes of job-seekers, when in the first place, all vacancies were already filled before the advert even took place?

The answer to questions (a) and (b) previously asked:

(a)I aint seen no Covenant University graduate or alumnus job-hunting

(b)There is hardly any or no news about Global Fleet recruitment because some kind of insider-trading took place and all vacancies were filled by Covenant University graduates.

Any comments or questions can be sent to email [email protected] or placed in the comment box. God will see us through in Jesus name, Amen. Thank god it’s Friday.

Alex,u may be write in one aspect,I know that CU graduates are recruited as soon as they graduate.You should remember that a lot of CEOs are members of this church and is normal for "Nigerians" to consider people they can trust first.
Just work hard, pray and believe in yourself, you could be creative too, who knows you may be the next "Dangote".
Cheers
