young graduate like ours that dont have work experience really dont know what to do. please landers we need your advice on this and possibly samples of graduate CV

Just try sending your CV and application no matter the number of yrs they require because some of them do that to scare people away. Wishing us landers the best and God's favours.[color=#006600][/color]

Don't let that get you down so much, the young shall grow. What I would advise is that you go sometimes and volunteer in companies, or churches, or government offices maybe once or twice a week while you are seeking employment, I would suggest companies that are closer to your house so that you don't have to worry about transportation costs. Let the company owners know, and when you fill out application, and on your C.V you can include the company as your experience. I hope this would help somebody. Good luck to you.

na wa ooo

Even though you have no experience you can sell yourselves by including a page of your CV full of skills that you have acquired throughout maybe your study etc, you have definitely during some point of your life done a bit of team work etc, its just a question of thinking of good examples and portraying it as if you regularly use these skills and that you have learned from them.

Its all about what you have and how you intend to use it.

My advice is, if you think you can do a job, send your CV and letter of motivation ( well written of course). When I applied for my first job,they asked for five years experience which I definitely did not have. Fortunaately, I got hired. The rest is history. So keep trying. God dey.

you could build skills that all workers in the modern workplace require.(proficiency in MS Office Apps).If you're an engineer, proficiency in AutoCAD, MS Project. Also, don't look down on/reject some jobs because they offer only 30,000. they could be the stepping stone to better things

Dis thread has given me a new insight. Thanx 2 all who contributed
