I dabbled in to this piece with keen interest. Ha! Mine was uncountable. I was born without a silver spoon. My parents are peasant farmers in a remote town of Ekiti. Back in the days , the only option available to somebody like me in search of job was newspaper because there was nobody....I repeat...nobody to help out. Internet was just revolving at that time in Nigeria so, the only available means of sending application letters was by post. The situation became worse that, I would have to trek all the way from Ring road in Ibadan to Dugbe Post office to post application letters 2 times in a week( Tuesdays and Thursdays). I was always with a pen, copies of my credentials and official sheets which I always used to write applications. There was a vendor at ring road that time, whom I always tipped with 5 Naira and he would allow me read a particular newspaper in which vacancies were being placed in it's Tuesday and Thursday editions that time. I would not mention it here so the moderator would not think I am advertising them. It's a popular newspaper every job applicant must have heard about. I wouldn't know if they still place much adverts in it nowadays However, I trusted in God all through because there was nobody to link me. I adopted a strategy that time, which was...posting applications immediately after seen , so that mine would be among the first to hit the employer's desk, knowing fully well that other applicants from all parts of the country would have also applied. This worked a lot because by the time applications were received, it would be sorted on a first first-in-first-served basis. Nobody told me about this but I felt that was the in-thing. When you keep receiving applications as an employer for the same position you were looking for, you would just pack the subsequent ones and drop them inside a dust bin because you would have collated or shgirtlisted enough. This had always worked because I was always receiving interview invites. At times when the invite comes and I see the company's logo, I would just smile because I was always excited seeing such an invite...that I could be remembered by them was always a thing of joy. In short, I posted up to 200 applications in that post office. A particular stamp seller in that post office became my friend at tome point because he always saw me around. Fortunately for me, I did not spend more than 8 months at home after my NYSC before I got employed. I had worked in renown pharmaceutical, Telecomms, Medical Technology companies in Nigeria in the bast( including the telecomms firm with a yellow logo/colour located on the Island). Now, I am an employer of great repute and personality. I have also seen the world as i have traveled round the globe , not for fun but for business meetings, all glory to God almighty. The moral of my long story is...do not give up, regardless of your background. Keep trusting in God. Mine, is a good example .

I sent over 100 cvs online. No job still for close to two years. One cool day, I made 10 copies of my CV and cover letter and traveled all the way from my base in Ibadan to Lagos dropping CVs in international schools. Dat week, I landed a good teaching job with an okay salary for a start. My story changed.

Lesson 1: Don't rely on online CV
Lesson2: Be ready to explore, you can try teaching too. I currently teach year 1(ages 5-6). I am an economics graduate
Lesson 3: Take the risk
Lesson 4: Never despise the days of little beginnings-I once taught for free in Ibadan to avoid idleness. The experience paid.
Thanks
