Candidates About

I come from a family of 5; myself, my parents and two siblings. I am a value–oriented individual. I am someone who strives for perfection. Firstly, getting this employment would afford me a chance to exercise and implement the skills and abilities that I possess. I have great organisational and housekeeping skills. I'm also very skilled at caregiving. It comes naturally to me. Actually, I previously worked as a housekeeper/personal assistant not exclusively "maid" per se but had to choose that under the categories listed as it was the only one without "graduate" attached to it as I do not have a tertiary institution degree yet. I saw to the cleanliness and daily running of the house and also rendered personal assistant services to my former boss as regards her business. I got to learn and acquire useful skills while working the job and I wish to continue to grow those skills by practicing them. Also, I would like an opportunity to learn and improve myself. There is something to learn from every job and an experience to gain that will add to the experience I already have. Another major reason is to earn a living. As an adult, I have financial obligations that needs to be met, hence I need to earn money to see to them. The exposure that I will get from the job would also be a plus. Lastly, I am seeking this job because it is always a thing of satisfaction for me to be able to add value to other people. I feel at my best when I am able to make someone's life a bit more convenient or be able to take away some level of stress from people through my rendering of a service. I believe happiness is the by-product of a life spent adding value to other people's lives I am a highly resourceful and reliable individual. I believe that hard work pays off. I believe that if you want to achieve something, you ought to put in all the work required to get it. Hard work is key. I am a very determined individual. I am eager to learn and I pick up on things fast and adapt very well. Also, I am someone who believes in taking accountability for my actions, taking corrections and implementing them where necessary. I look forward to working with you, more experience and growth. Thank you

Customer Care Representative

************
1960 - 1960
I worked as a customer care representative in my former job. I was charged with the duty of taking calls, confirming and documenting bank transactions and attending to customers' concerns and enquiries. I had a PC assigned toe that I used in discharging my duties. Work hours were from 7am to 5pm, Monday to Saturdays. Although I do not work on all Saturdays as I and my colleagues in the customer care department each get a Saturday off in turns consecutively. I sometimes doubled as an auditor but it wasn't a primary duty. It was mostly at intervals

Reason for Leaving or Why you want to leave

My reason for leaving this job was due to a miscommunication that led to an accusation being levied against me. A directive that wasn't vetted was given to myself and my colleagues in my department by the manager and following the directive led to some problems and I was unfortunately placed in the line of fire. It was basically a case of the subordinate being subjected to bear the brunt of the negligence of a superior and getting accused falsely. Regardless, it was a lesson learnt

Houskeeper to Receptionist to Supervisor

************
1960 - 1960
My first position in this company was as a housekeeper. I cleaned the rooms in the hotel and ensured it's orderly state. After a while, I was promoted to the position of a receptionist and there, I saw to the timely check-in and check-out of guests. As the receptionist, I oversaw fast-paced front desk operation while ensuring the satisfaction of guests. Later on, I got promoted again to the position of a supervisor and I was in charge of inspecting and monitoring the different departments and ensured efficient discharge of duties that were up to standard. I also gave regular feedback to the manager ..

Reason for Leaving or Why you want to leave

I left this job simply because I got an opportunity to work in a better company with a better offering and remuneration. I had worked at this job for two years and although I was opportuned to get promoted twice, the promotions didn't come with that much of an increment in pay. As a supervisor, my pay was just N5,000 more than what my pay was as a housekeeper. It was more or less a case of exploitation of labour and taking advantage of the unfortunate state of the country where there is a major scarcity of jobs around.

  • work tenure

    (A) Most employers on our platform would require their workers to commit to a full-time job for a minimum of one full year.
    After one year, the worker may choose to continue working for the employer for more years or leave, at their sole discretion.

    If a worker frequently changes jobs within a few months or works for short periods or has multiple negative reports from employers, they may be termed unserious, and unreliable and face penalties, suspension, or even be banned from accessing additional jobs through our platform.

    📍 All workers are required to commit for at least one full year before moving on to other job opportunities or other private life plans like marriage, schooling, starting of a business etc. If these plans are within your horizon to start up within a few months, kindly do not waste any employer's time. They would prefer workers ready to firmly commit for a minimum of "one full year or more". 📍

    All workers should hereby note:
    The minimum work tenure on our platform is "one full year." Except in cases where the employer voluntarily requires shorter time periods.

    (B) INTERVIEW ETHICS: Do not "ghost" an employer after an interview or plan to deceive an employer by intending to work for just one or two months and resigning abruptly . You will be penalized for this.

    During your initial interviews, if you do not like a job offer, clearly and timely inform the employer of your acceptance or rejection of their job offer, salary rates and other terms offered, so that they can consider their options immediately and know what decisions to make.
    Always ensure that you communicate and clearly confirm your decision to employers on the spot or within 24 hours of attending their job interviews.

    Be an ethical and professional worker, do not waste any employer's time.

    It is very important to maintain a good work record and history on our platform, to continue to enjoy free access to good-paying jobs at all times.

    We do not deduct any percentage or commission from workers' monthly or yearly salaries. Employers pay 100% of salaries and benefits directly into their workers' bank accounts every month.
    This policy ensures complete loyalty and commitment to the employers for the agreed contract period and also ensures that workers receive the full benefits of their labour and efforts.

    (D) Employers on the other hand should note.
    Minimum work tenure does not apply in cases of physical assault on workers, consistent verbal or mental abuse, untimely or unpaid salaries, human rights violations, abuses as well other negative treatments.
    Controlled verbal correction or outburst is distinct from consistent verbal abuse, we are cognizant of this fact.
    The employer will be suspended or banned if several workers report "confirmed " abuse, physical assault or other forms of abuse on their persons while working with you.
    Our goal and drive continue to be that, employers and their workers enjoy long-term value and mutual fulfilment in their work relationships.

Or when compared to an experienced Filipino nanny/housekeeper who might request for a monthly salary of about $1000 - $2000 USD or more.

    For Workers:

    ✅ When invited for an interview by an employer, request for the full name, address and other details of the employer.

    ✅ For the first meeting, meet employers at safe, public and open places or request for an initial phone interview, WhatsApp video interview, zoom or Skype video interview. This is to enable the employer to gauge and assess if they want to proceed to a physical interview with the you. It also helps the worker not to waste transportation costs if considered unsuitable from the first phone call. After the initial phone call , if suitable, the worker can then proceed to a physical interview at the employer's location.

    ✅ When going for physical interviews at an employer's location or homes ensure that the full address is provided to you, along with the closest landmarks to the address

    🚫 Exercise every caution when going for interviews. If you are uncomfortable with any employer's location, kindly reject it and insist on an open place like popular eateries, restaurants or supermarkets.

    🚫 Some employers offer transport fare assistance to workers who show up for their interviews. Lots of workers borrow funds for transportation to meet up / physically attend several interviews weekly or monthly.
