Always heard of it and dismissed it as ole talk or maybe rumor (people like to talk and you dont know who to believe) until it happen to me...twice.

Always drop off at a certain place but never get any reply. So this time I dropped off one, called 2 days later to confirm they get it. Followed up on it a week later and it was nowhere to be found. No record of it.

Dropped off another one at another place, everything going good, they get it...it processing...3 weeks and no reply....follow up on it....no record of it.

Not calling any names but heard from someone that in the first place mentioned the people in HR practically dispose of job applications and only process those of friend and family.

Anyone else had this?

Is there a way to follow up on it?

It all depends on the company that you have applied for. If its a family company your luck will run out. State jobs will depend on family and friends. If you want tobe hired on merit then look for foreign comps, Bp, Bg, Repsol, ect. If you got a rare and wanted skill then jobs will be easy to get.
Fresh from school? then look for small jobs with service or contract companies and build some friends within the job market.

Nerve, this probably has nothing to with nepotism, and more to do with the quality/ relevance of your resume.

Nah dude, nepotism has a lot todo it and depends on which company. I used to work for a comp and every time we ask for skilled trained staff we would get someone related with family of employees that work in the office. They would have no skills or fresh out from schools, there people would drain you down cause you got to take time out to show they everything plus they would carry news back to the bosses or their family. Most of the people that get the jobs are somewhat related to the owner or HR,

At place #1, I am qualified to work there, in a few months I will be walking away with 2 bachelor degrees related to operations that take place there.
No you cannot go up to the HR department.
No you cannot speak to anyone in HR.
You leave the application at the front desk.
Apparently its a regular thing. They understaffed and had 5 positions a few years back, someone came in class and asked for application to be sent in. To our surprise the positions were filled by 5 people with bare CXC and our applications were never found.
Lo and behold we got to find out 1 girl was the CEO niece, another was the HR manager niece and the other 3 also had family very high up. hmmmmm...
In all my years with all different classes I have only come across a handful of people willing to work. All the rest have wajank behavior and barely get pass marks. I have one classmate right now with a story tattoed all the way up his hands to his neck, mohawk and saw him passing $$$ to collect something wrapped up in a foil easy easy in a corner from the class 'high man'. These people are in charge of a very important commodity that we all need.

Second place, I have a few certificates that qualify me, have a lot of experience with excel and access (which somehow the new operators seem to have discovered that they can use excel to fill out the sheets automatically and go drink rum instead of work), I know every single road like the back of my hand, know all the operations that take place there since I was like 14 and I live very close to the work place.
A lot of older heads retiring soon, they understaffed, seeing pressure with the younger heads and I known to not make joke with work. I not known for staying home, being late or not going the extra mile. A certain person told me apply, once I get my foot in the door he could request I be transferred to the place closer to home. Application gone missing.

Pioneer, dont come with that. Them PS and head of departments know how to get work for their children in the ministry as interns during the vacation. They get experience like that and get contract as they done school (if it fall in your garden, plant it).

where i work they understaffed but they wont hire anyone cause they cutting cost but somehow the secretary who came in a couple months after me under contract suddenly became HOD secretary and permanent with perks..in LESS than one year....this person had no qualifications and such ...meanwhile the ppl like me who have an IT background and knows how the technology works there 3 years and month to month contract....smh...

in another department they responsible for populating the database with stuff and they cant even spell properly but yet they have a job...smh....

i hear yuh...bu then again, you would have to suck the boss d!ck to get permanent eh.. up tp you...

[TRENDSETA]

I work for a company that awhile back launched a new department . Surprisingly positions were advertised internally as the company is essentially overstaffed from top top bottom so they made a point of stating they were not advertising outside . 5 persons were hired to fill the positions . One is the son of our head of security .2nd is the goddaughter of a former HR HOD.3rd's father retired from the company as a manager .the 4th girl proudly boast that our CEO frequents her mother's business and the last guy's whole family worked at the company at different levels. Mind you they all never worked with the company prior

Resume very relevant for place #1.
Job placement officer from my school did that one for me and said drop it in like that.

From what I got to realise is that most employees have a negative mentality. If you cant beat them, you join them or they find a way to get you out. I feel bad if I collect a salary at the end of the month and didnt earn it.

I'm really disappointed in the dishonsty, butttt.... life goes on. It have other places to work or one can aspire to be his own boss one day.

[Bareback]
