“Have been #job hunting for a whileI saw a job offer on twitter. I Dm the person who twitted.
“I told him I wasn’t qualified but should in case he has any entry level or has anyone who wants to employ an entry-level he should please dm me. He said “you should just apply because you might be qualified”.
“He sent a contact I called and was told to come with my credentials that day by 3p.m. For me, it was too real to be true I said to myself could it be GNLD, immediately I use Google search to know what the company does, at that point I was sure it’s real.
