Nigerian Job Offer Scams?

By Job Seekers at 04/20/07 08:03

I see many messages in forums with comments like these:

I got one offer from NNPC , Nigerian National Petrolium Corporation, $19,000 USD per month, as an IT professional.( I will get some other fringe benefit also like residence, transport, some paid leave)

I GOT AN OFFER FROM LAGOS NIGERIA IN CITI GROUP HOW IS LIFE THERE THEY R PAYING ME US$21,690 PER MONTHS IS THIS ANY RACKET OR FRAUD CASE CAN ANY ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS

i have got offer from Citigroup nigeria without any formal inteview and selection process. Can any one tell me about genuineness of the offer or can guide me with regard to this. Salary is excellent

How people are getting jobs in Nigeria without interview. People are getting salary of US$19,000/- and above on what basis. Is this true or money making racket. Have anybody gone to Nigeria without interview and based on the offer got through e-mail. Can anyone highlight the truth

Those messages never seem to end. Finally someone posts with a little insight.. following a message like the above he says:

They mailed him like he needs to pay around $1,150USD for the Immigration paper work. They are offering him $24,000USD, is it a right company or just a fraudent mail.

It is pretty clear these job offers are just scams. They come out of the blue, who is going to offer you a job paying US$20,000 without an internet and apparently without you even applying!

But it is a very enticing offer. The catch seems to be you'll have to put up some money for paperwork.

I think you can be sure that as long as you'll willing to keep paying for paperwork they'll keep finding paperwork for you to pay for.

There is no job!

Automotive Jobs

If you are looking for a career that can really allow you to use your automotive skills, you should certainly be looking for one in automotive jobs. Automotive jobs are the perfect jobs to have because they are often flexible, pay well, and require very little formal education. The truth is that you only need a high school diploma to get many automotive jobs. Take a look at why getting an automotive job might be the best thing for you to do in your career.

If you have very little formal education, you can rest assured that you may be able to get a great automotive job. Sure, you might have to start at the bottom of the totem pole, and work your way up, but after time you will be able to have a great job. Many people start in the automotive industry by detailing cars. You may not want to do this type of job, but it can open the door for you to better mechanic jobs in the future. If you are loyal and stick with a main company, you might have more opportunities thrown your way in the future.

Another reason to look into automotive jobs is because you may want to make a good living. The truth is that even though those who work on cars rarely have formal education, they get paid well. Working on cars is not an easy task. It takes skills that you must learn and remember. It can be quite challenging and not everyone is willing to do it. If everyone could work on cars, no one would ever take their car to the shop for repairs. They would just do it themselves. Working on cars in automotive jobs is a great way to earn a solid income.

Lastly, automotive jobs are often great because they can be quite flexible. Since many body shops are open all hours of the day and into the night, you can often find a shift that works for you. In addition, some will even let you work on the weekends, if you have school or something else going on during the week. So, if you like to have a job that offers flexibility, automotive jobs are for you!
