It's hard out there for a girl...
For the last five months, I have been job hunting in Abj and it hasn't been easy. Is it me or are the recruiters getting younger, more smug and arrogant. There is a general condescending attitude towards applicants by these upstarts but we have to grin and bear it cos, of course, a beggar cannot be a chooser. I will blog in detail about my experiences. Now, I have good news and bad news... the good news being I got me a job that I think I'm going to like; the bad news is from Monday June 30th, I have to be in Lagos for two weeks training and orientation...aaargh!!! I am getting too old to be 'suffering and smiling'. Anyway, wish me luck. I hope to blow the trainers away with my intellect, charm, efficiency, good looks, comportment etc so that I can rise to the executive cadre in, say 2 years....A girls got to reach for the sky...

I have every expectation and hope that you will take less than two years to be in that executive cadre. Those poor things ain't got any idea what they just signed up.

Thanx for the well wishes and kind words of encouragement. I am so-o-o exhausted!!! Adult education is not easy sha. @standtall, would love to meet but time, distance, traffic and sheer exhaustion on my part, would probably conspire against any rendezvous. I only have Sunday off imagine!!!I bet by then I can hardly move my aged bones from the bed the whole day.

Well done gurl and good luck with the training. Come fill us in later
