“E for Use ChatGPT”: Nigerian Man Submits CV for N800k Job, His Statement Surprises Employer

  • A 23-year-old Nigerian man applying for a job of N800,000 salary confidently wrote a one-line CV to beg his prospective employer
  • The man who identified himself as Kenneth did not consider that the job asked for five to six years of experience before applying
  • The HR officer who opened his CV was shocked that a person would be so careless as the applicant was

A lady who works as an HR expert shared a video that showed the one-line CV an applicant sent for a job that offers an N800,000 monthly salary.

She was surprised when she opened the Word document that he sent, and it was only a line of a funny statement.
