This is a clear indication that employment opportunities are created and earned.

Can this be A tip for our fresh graduate and unemployed? No, the politicians are too busy looking down and counting their looted money. And captains of industries have a relative for the next vacant position.

Thats courageous, but come to tink of it cant this guy use his €500 to start a small biz to help himself, some of first class guys can't do things on there own, some lack the creativity mind set. They just like working for others and like being told what to do.

Lwkmd.
You actually make sense o.

Those yelling and making their veins bulge about starting a biz, you can just shut up already.

£500 pounds to start a biz abi?


before he gets the profits nko?

What if what he knows how to do requires more than £500 capital?

Abeg not everyone can go the entrepreneural route. Na still some people like am we go employ to help us do the runnings.

Re: Unemployed Graduate Advertises CV On Billboard by Nobody: 9:28am On Jan 04, 2013
In Nigeria we just don't want to believe the job is not there. look, that small available job some one as a manager have relations he will give the job to. So I think every one should just look for any business he/she can do. it doesn't matter how small just start it, and watch how God will bless and open more ways for you.

This shows that unemployment is a general problem throughout the whole world. When in school one need to be fully prepare for the unforseen circumstances. Gone are the days when one depends on certificate alone, even having first class . The guy must have been frustrated to have done this

UK is not nigeria where you can just set up a table and start selling tomatoes on your street. Just the initial registration and fees to start a business there will gulp the whole 500 pounds and more.

This is actually a good idea. The best way to get attention is to make people notice you. Watch out, this guy will definitely get a good job
Re: Unemployed Graduate Advertises CV On Billboard by Nobody: 9:50am On Jan 04, 2013
Wow, it will be a huge gamble here in Nigeria. The Cost of a bill board in a location that matters is enough to do a good business. Na wa for everything in Naija, will employers even call? The Marketing/ Advertising Companies might be interested though.
