I'm Totally Fed Up With Job Hunting

George take it easy, everything happens for a reason, i believe in no distant time our almighty GOD will grant you all your heart desires

please George don't get tired. i beg u . just keep at it. God has not forgotten you regardless of what u think. you will make it keep praying help the needy not necessarily beggars but anybody that needs your help. release any form of bitterness towards the nation or people who have hurt you or said u are a nobody. thank God for their lives and pray for them. Then keeping confessing that u have a job u want. be specific name the type, pay package, benefits and location.Then start thanking God for the job because he has released the job and u will see its manifestation. i know this things i have shared are difficult but they are principles that will work. i feel your pain. you will rejoice. cheers 

Georgee! I feel your pain. Its can be so frustrating and demoralizing. But don't allow it to run u down.

Remember tough times never last but tough people do. It will soon be your turn to smile.

And brotherly, when the time finally comes, u will almost forget that u ve written so many

applications and test without success. Just continue to remain strong. This isnt the time to give up.

REMAIN FIRM! Cheers.

Georgee, i seriously feel your pain, searching for a job can be draining, writing tests reading, travelling up and down getting disappointments, I'm sure 90% of nairalanders will tell you that they have felt the exact same way, Nigeriaás labour market is a tough place to be thats just the painful truth and if you are going to make it you just have to endure for a while and get tougher.

You mentioned you had passed a couple of tests and did not make it at the interview stage, first let me say congrats, yeah you ddidn'tget the jobs but hey you passed the tests which i must tell you a lot of people never do. Now let me ask you, how prepared where you for the interviews? how much prior research did you do before going for these interviews? how much of what the buyer was selling where you offering - by buyer i mean your potential employer???

I know you're going through a lot of stress and yes i also advise that you pray and hold on to God as i am a strong believer in the God factor, but at the same time you need to work hard and if you have been doing that work even harder, the market is competitive and if you want to finally land a job you need to make your self very very marketable, from your dressing to your composure to your words,

Try remembering your performance at these interviews, give yourself a personal appraisal, i thank God for the person who started the thread 'PREPARING FOR AN INTERVIEW CHECK HERE" a lot of people actually ignore that thread but i must tel you theres a whole depth of knowledge there,

The truth is some people will never have to really work so hard to get a job, some people can just waltz into an interview room unprepared and dazzle the interviewees but most people have to work for it, whatever you do George don't give up!!!! take all these past encounters as a training ground for something else, God probably has something better in store for you, so rather than sitting on your back complaining - (which i don't blame you for considering what you have been through) get up and move,

God will open the door for you, but when he does you have to be on your feet and very ready to walk into that room.

Cheers - make unilag proud 

I beg to differ i don't think there is anything wrong with Georgee, and i do not think you should be so rude to him either, you can tell him to prepare and work hard without sounding so harsh - yes you were very harsh and i do not think that is necessary.

If we were all so put together i doubt if there would be any job seekers forum in nairaland, we are here because we are looking for something, and honestly he probabrly just voiced out the same feelings lots of people have here.

So just take it easy on him ok.

@flyfi
i say a BIG AMEN to that ooooooo

@suze
Am still waitn for your response, thanx

@SOJ
Thanx a lot man

Hi georgee, don't be frustrated. let us know what skills you have and how you can create a solution. i think someone will read this and come to your aid.

"When I am down, then I am strong", says Paul. In life, trials abound. No great man on earth lives without " down" moment. He sees trial as a temporary period of energy gathering. This is an apportunity for refuelling. This is an opportunity for self re-examination. This is an opportunity for a deep breath. This is an opportunity to know God. This is an opprtunity to prepare for a great leap. Friend, don't accept defeat. Be strong. Just work and pray. God will embarass you with Jobs, even this month. Talk say na me tell you.

When I was a student, I passed through scorching heat. When I was a Corp member  I crawled through melting fire. When I was a job seeker, I slided through searing furnace. My value left me. Then I was down. I remembered Paul. Then I was strong.

Today, I have a banking Job. Two blue chip companies  are looking pleadingly at my bold eyes for  employment. This is a true life story.

So george, be strong, work and pray.

GOD DEY.

Hey Geogee, all i will advise u is that u shouldnt give up now,  try and learn something new thats in high demand even if u have 2 spend money to get that special knowledge, when u get that knowledge and experience, job will start to look for you. You can try get a job even if u are not going to get paid for it , all u need is to grab the experience, who knows God might surprise u in the process and im very sure He will, its all a matter of time, may god help us

   hey georgee,just take it easy ,i bet u there are people in worst situations dan urs
let me tell u a story
one day ,one poor man who had nth on earth except for one stick of banana.so he decided and went up to the mountain hoping to eat it and jump down frm there and die.wel after he did that he threw the peeling down and moments later when he looked down ,someone had picked the peeling and ate and thanked god for that.
so plz my brother,in any situation u are, never think that you're in the very worst situation,someone else is suffering somewhere.
i too am looking for a job but i believe it will come ,am nt thinking too hard about it because i knw it will come ,just take care
cheers!!
tell us when u finally get a job,lol!!!
