hi job seeker I think i can help you on how to get job.first thing is that 90% of Nigerians jobs is not advertised so all you have to  do is that as a graduate that you are and i believe that you know what you did there in school.now just start writing cover letters for employment to those companies that match your criteria which.anywhere the are as long as the are in your state and also insert your CV.then upon delivery go strait to the manager of the company and deliver the letter telling him/her a hint on what you wrote.now some may tell you that the do not need workers now but tell them to hold the letter  and read it anytime the are in need of workers the should contact you.deliver this letter to many companies so that at list out of every 20 htere must be 1.for more info please contact me at post2ngo@gmail.com.

what skills do you possess?

@poster,

Hey fellow, pls package yourself in a well branded manner so you can attract prospective employers. No employer will recruit you out of pity that you are suffering. Tell the world about your discipline, talent, flairs, special gifting etc. See yourself as helping employers fulfil their corporate goals by joining their team not they helping you by employing you to get a monthly salary. BE WISE!

have you ever thought of being self employed where you are the boss of yourself where you work when and where you like with just atleast 2-3 hours daily and live in luxury, give it a thought and hall me at xbernardx001@yahoo.com

You need a job. Try self employment BRO

.
You are right Franel79, when one is looking for a JOB, he or she is looking for Just Over Broke, better let he look for YOB Your Own Business. QED

Industrial age problems. Our parents fault, they told us to go to school and all will be well. There are too many people still following that advise. But our parent are advise is based on thier own paradigm. In thier days after University you walk into a Job with all the benefit and official car. In the information age that does not work:

These are things I will advise you to do:

1, Because you have finished Univeristy does not mean learning has finished, keep learning. Look for a skill that people need.

2, Go and learn that skill

3, Offer you services for free where you think you will like to work.


As an employer: I am always looking for people that can solve my problems not people with degrees.

To me a capenter is more useful than a sociologist
To me a good cleaner is more valuable to me than a Zoologist
To me an IT professional is more valuable than a Jornalist

Be realistic with what employers want, ask your self , How can I solve the problems that this company have? Nigeria is full of problem , i tell you,

The more difficult the problem you can solve the more money you get paid. If you are solving for me cleaning problems, i can easily replace you. But if you are solving my accounting problems I will think twice before replacing you.

So make yourself useful. That you go to University does not mean you are practically useful. How can a zoologist make money in Nigeria? and some people are still paying top money to register for courses like that in UNI.
And please DO NOT be Desperate. Be focused. So take it easy brother, but make sure you take it.

That is it.
Good luck.

yes i will advise you to learn a skill! You can go into IT,learn website design you can then make a website like this that will be fetching you some cool cash, you can contact me for details on online business mail to successfulkenny@yahoo.com.
Take chance

I agree with most of the responses so far. Paid employment might not be the answer in this age.
Go into something of your own. You could get started here:
Email: somuchfree@gmail.com
Is it recharge card printing you want to go into? In this age that recharge cards sell like 'pure water'
There are many things you could do. Look for a need in your locality and meet such need. You'll be amazed the
kind of money you'll make.
But the most important thing is what will give satisfaction. If getting a job is what will actually make you fulfilled
then take the advise of Larry111 and others.
Best wishes.

Hello,
I can understand your state at the moment
however, you are not the WORST person on earth.

You are talking about being employed while

Company,but believe you me sincerely

rush to office.

There is something in your HAND.
Just discover it and ACT.

ago.  But one day I had a second thought which was to start business online. I went into indepth research and thanks to my click of friends  today is very much different from
yesterday. I now make good figures online. Without wastin your time and mine I would
love to help. But for the convenience of the business(es) that I would disclose to you, you may need a privated internet connection.
