Exactly.

Most job seekers can't even afford cab fare for the interviews.

It's not easy.

subcbouy:
Absolutely yeah. I have been a victim of this nonsense. The recruiter called me and said that because of my location, I should neglect the earlier email.

yessooo

As an employer of Labour myself with an office in Surulere, once i saw your CV stating locations in Ipaja, Ikorodu, Abule Egba, Iyana Ipaja, Alagbado, Ajah, Akowonjo, Ojo, Ikotun, Mile 12, Ojodu Berger/Alagbole and other distant locations, you will never be called for interview because once you get started with work after the initial gragra and desperation to work, natural occurrence associated with coming and going from long distance will surely occur as we are human excpet you state that you have place(s)you can relocate or stay that would be close r to the office inside your CV or body of applications.

Most Nigerian youths dont think proactively in that line and see critical reasons why they are not getting enough or quality interview oppurtunities

What we experience as applicants/ organisational staff in this Lagos especially is Absolutely NOT ideal or normal. How can you be staying in Ipaja/Ayobo and go work everyday in Ajah? by time you do such for 6 months, 1 year or 3 years, how you expect to remain the same and not grow old prematurely? Thats absolutely insane! But some see it as normal. Some employers dont care wherever you will be coming from. Just ensure you get to work at assigned time

With me, good staff benefits, welfare and vibrancy matter in order for you to be productive

But to make, man/woman must survive!

vickydevoka:

In de UK , location is important than knowledge. Unless you are ready to relocate

JoshTim:


Yes. Even for this lagos wey we dey. Some companies on the island will not consider your application if you are staying on the mainland. Them plenty

It's not funny ooo.


Job searching is a job on its own...

DEBJOCH1:
THE FIRST CRITERIAL IN HIRING A QULAIFIED STAFF IS JOB EXPEREINCE, SHEN, THE NEXT IS LOCATION.

IF YOU GET ALL REQUIREMENT AND STAY IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION, MOST ORGANIZATION WONT EVEN MIND CALLING YOU BACK. REASON WHY MOST ORGANIZATION WILL WRITE IT BOLD IN THEIR ADVERT" ALL APPLICANTS MUST BE RESIDENT IN ISLAND OR MAINLAND"

I HAVE SEEN A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE LOST A VERY GOOD JOB OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE OF LOCATION. HE STAYS IN A NEARBY STATE, I ADVISED HIM TO EDIT HIS CV THEN PUT MY HOUSE ADDRESS IN SURULERE IN HIS CV AS HIS PLACE OF RESIDENCE BEFORE GOING FOR THE INTERVIEW.

WHEN HE GOT THERE, THE FIRST THING THEY SIGHTED IN HIS CV WAS, "YOU STAY OUTSIDE LAGOS" WE A CAN COPE WITH THIS JOB IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH US. BY THE T

does job experience really matter in nigeria with the way people land jobs thru connections? Go to banks and offices, some ladies and guys know nothing yet they get job easily thru hook or crook
