Yea.Also,like what someone above said,don't joke with social gatherings and meetings you find yourself. Develop your interpersonal skill and reach out to people.Get to know people you come in contact with cos your network to an extend determines your net worth

Hello fellow nairalanders especially the job seekers I've got good news for you.I want to reveal a very little secret that will get you employed before the end of June.

I understand that the mindset an average graduate in Nigeria has is that there is no job in Nigeria and you really need to know someone before you get a Job.Quote me anywhere,there are lots of jobs in Nigeria especially Lagos,it's just that most graduates are not informed(there is no mountain anywhere,every man's mountain is his Ignorance,Bishop David Olaniyi).

3 weeks ago,when two new staff were introduced to older staff of my Company,I was just wondering to myself that people keep on saying there is no job while others are changing Jobs anyhow.

As a fresh graduate,your topmost goal should be getting your first job,It does not matter if the pay ain't on the high side, the most important thing is that you are working and taking care of your basic needs.

From my observation,employers are sceptical about employing fresh graduates(especially those who have stayed at home for long after NYSC),the reason is not far fetched,they believe that fresh graduates do not have the requisite skills that will start bringing value immediately to their Company once they are employed.

Hence,if you know you are a fresh graduate and you know within yourself that you dont really have the skill(s) but you just want an opportunity to be trained while working I will advice you start with the one you see.There are lots of marketing jobs in Lagos,some even pay 50k/month for fresh graduates,yet some graduates look at it with disdain and want that Oil/Government job. Don"t get me wrong,I am not against you working in an Oil Firm or following your dream Company,my point is dont be idle(involve yourself even if it is a voluntary job),In the process of working in your first Company/Organisation,you will meet people who can turn your job story around.

In Conclusion,visit websites of different Companies of your choice,go to their career page and submit both your Cover Letter and CV(even if there is no vacancy for you),believe you me once there is an opening,you will be the first person the Company will contact for an interview and definitely you won't have much competitors for that job.My Story

(Do not strive to be successful,strive to add value........Albert Einsten).

Good pep talk but the youth of nowadays no go hear word...na fast schemes & "dont dull" mentality na hin scatter their brain.

Meanwhile vacancy for 5 cute & sexy waitresses for a mini-club business.

Pay is 20k/month.

Work time is: 5pm-dawn.

Prerequisite: Beauty & Brain.

are you a fresh graduate or you are currently serving?Also what did you study?Identify Companies in line with your course of Study(especially medium size companies),go to them and tell them that you will like to work with them and that your focus is not the salary,that you just want to put to practise all the things you learnt in School.That sums it

Nice one OP


but in connection to voluntary jobs, where or which office can one go to in search of such jobs? Please your advice is urgently needed.
Thank you.
Re: Secret To Getting Job Interviews In Nigeria Especially Lagos by Nobody: 5:30pm On May 18, 2015
I beg to disagree Sir.It is about Information.How Informed are you about Job vacancies in different companies.Also about the requisite skill you possess.

My answer is just in a word..."Skills"
*Monetary wise: Once I've got the needed skills, before setting up my business through the skills acquired, I would make sure I use this specialty to earn a living even before gaining freedom from my boss.

*[b]Experience Wise:[/b]I will get the needed experience in the process of my learning, because I would be serving people during the course of the skills acquisition. "SERVICE" is the key.

Mind you, I have gone through the above named steps...though I earn my living, and meet up with neccessities for now, but the next thing is "building my business beyond earning a living for myself and making sure others earn a living through my business"

So, why do I have to apply for any job?
Why do I have to learn how to write good "CV" on nairaland?

Our problems as youths of today, based on my observation, we want to pull the cart before the horse...we put ego before vision and determination

In this information age when you can sit in the comfort of your home and make good money, why take a useless job that cannot cover your transport per month? Right here in Nigeria, I registered with N3,000 on a platform and get paid every two weeks for just sharing the information as I'm doing now. I mean my UBA bank account in naira. No website! If you like to do the simplest, cheapest and easiest way making money in nigeria

'there are no jobs' is based on statistics. You have only taken a very small sample size which is your company and u. Although ur words are kind and encouraging, they are not facts

They are not facts? please can you explain the meaning of fact.

Eddie, you're very right! The problem of some people is they don't believe in jobs posted online.
