NYSC member misses out on job offer
Identified as @finathy1 on TikTok, she said she knew a lot about the job but made a mistake at the interview stage.
She stated that she found out that she did not prepare enough, compared to other candidates for the job.
The lady partly said:
“I was so excited because I knew the job and knew what I was going to do. If they ask me about experience, I knew I had something to offer. When I got there, we were like 12 and it was an open interview – practical section and theoretical session.
“My guy, that was when I found out that even though you know the job, its not enough. They are people burning midnight candle. People are learning.”
She captioned the video:
“TikTok please show this video the serving corp member and soon to be corp members. It is important as young people to continue sharpening your skills, upgrade if you can, dont just stay stucked at what you knew 5years ago because in the years to come it might no longer be relevant to the job market.
“I pray that we shall all be prepared when opportunities come knocking. Amen.”

Thisss. Never stop learning. You’ll think you’re just a fresh graduate but you would be shocked at how fully loaded others are. I graduated in 2024. And I have almost 5 years experience in my field plus even certifications. I’m not even done with Nysc yet but I’m no longer entry level
