Wow a whooping 25!!!! Nice list.... Though mehn, a lot of people with jobs ( i mean fully utilized and employed) fell short in some areas on your list. Bottom line, while you can't be perfect, I believe Most Nigerians are unemployed because: 1) Their English is terrible, while i understand that English isn't our Mother tongue, unfortunately its the official language so you need to spend time improving your communication skills. Reduce time and data spent watching music videos on YouTube and watch Rosetta Stones English package. 2) Terrible CV: Some graduate still send Scanned CVS, i repeat Scanned F.ucking CVS. like wtf if you don't have a PDF or .doc/docx (word) format don't bother to apply. Secondly, the appearance of your CV, some niggas here will copy and paste from the internet without editing the font type and or Size. You are unemployed (doing nothing) and you cannot take out the time to package your CV well, dude it tells me a lot about you. 3) Laziness: Advance yourself, don't just sit at home saying "the govt. hasn't provided jobs", submit unsolicited applications, learn a trade, attend a course. Personal development cannot be overemphasized. Even for the best it's usually not easy to get a job anywhere in the world, but from my experience a reasonable proportion in Nigeria suffer from self inflicted unemployment. 3 Likes |

Experience has showed me that 80% of all this is just favour....Just hope that u be favoured by man. There's no right answer or wrong answers in an interview questions....Just saying this because i have worked with some group of people and i start wondering how did they get here? What did they answer that made them land on the job Haba!!!! And FYI it was not in Nigeria i got this experience where they say it was "man know man" My advise will be for every one seeking employment to do the best that they can and live the rest to God and destiny...I believe a lot of people has done this 25 things and more yet no nothing. 4 Likes |

Some graduates too are being lazy and want to sit at home for jobs to meet them at home. Imagine telling someone to enter streets to drop CVs in some particular organizations, only for me to ask him later and he told me...... Ehn, I submit cv online(as if I didn't know the HR has an email b4)..... Smh. While he is giving that yeye excuse, the other guy I gave them the info at the same time has already gotten to the medical stage of the same company. |

The sole reason you aren't getting a job is because of the the stiff competition in the job market. And the only way to break through is to make yourself competitive in whatever ways you can. Further your studies, hone your cognitive ability for test taking, look good, network, hone your oral and written communication skills, just do whatever the hell you want! —As long as it gives a competitive advantage. |
