He, however, said when choosing firms to offer free services, job seekers should choose one of trekkable distance and maintained that it is much better than doing nothing at home.
The post by @DannyWalta and seen by Legit.ng reads:
"If you’re currently unemployed, go and Work for Free. No it’s not a typo.Most Jobs require you have a certain years of experience, instead of staying at home doing nothing, go to big firms and offer to work for Free.
"It will increase your chances of getting a good Job. If you’re hardworking, they might consider and pay you the following month but the aim is that you get the experience. It’s a good look on your CV.
"You’re doing nothing at home btw so In 6 months you’d still be broke and Inexperienced. Try it out!"
Social media users have since taken different sides to the advice.
A user @MistaFrank_ disagreed saying:
"That particular tip doesn't work here in Nigeria bro. Cos u'll just end up working for the firm for 30 yrs without getting paid any shishi all in the name of building CV & getting the experience Unamused face. Most Nigerian employers are just users. Maybe u've not had the experience before."
Another user @OlotuEmmanuel agreed and also added that:
"You can also learn a tech skill online and find a tech company that you can intern with (it’s difficult to turn down an unpaid internship proposal).
"Do this for 3 months with commitment, find mentors on LinkedIn and watch your career take off. Oh, my two cents."
