Man displays job seeker's application mail
The post, shared by @victoradeleye on the X app, showed a screenshot of an email from the applicant.
In the email, the applicant had attached a copy of CV with a brief description that read:
"Kindly find the attached of my cv."
The boss questioned the applicant's expectations of receiving a positive response given the unprofessional approach.

In his words:
"I saw this mail earlier and was asking myself why a graduate will apply for a job like this and still hope to get positive feedback. Is it a knowledge gap? Now that JAMB has reduced cut off to universities to 150, let’s not act surprised when we start seeing things worse than this. It’s high time we started lowering our expectations. We can’t average people and expect a magic revolution."
Commenting on the story, a Nigerian man, Effiong Solomon, advised job seekers to be more intentional and serious with their applications.
He said:
"When I used to work with the HR team of a company I saw several stupid application letters. And you wonder if this was written by a graduate. Or could it be frustration causing the nonchalance? If you are seeking a job, please take time to send a very good application."

"There’s an apparent knowledge gap. Not so many people know that looking for a job is a joint venture in itself hence their poor disposition to it. Feels a tad bit unrealistic to credit to uni."

Becky_xle said:
"Once a job requirement is getting too much, I just quit. The last time I did 1 min video, I didn’t get the job y’all que sera sera jare."
