I'm Totally Fed Up With Job Hunting

Patience has a reward; but don't put all your eggs in 1 basket, huh. your time will come, u'l surely move from story 2 glory, God's delayance is definately not a denial.

Hi am also in the same shoe with you but hopefully i know God would answer our prayers so that we would be able to have a befitting job.

To aviod tyhe pain of boredoom, you could apply as a volunteer for an organisation. Especially one that works in a field you want to grow in. Most may not apy you immediately, but you will be gaining experience and if an oppurtunity opens there you would be among those they consider.
Its really hard i know but you will make it by the Grace of God. This is the most difficlut period in any young persons lifebut good things will come

Zains,
A lot of people won't like what you have said. You know why? People seem to think all they need to do is sit down at home and believe in God and the manner will come looking for them.

The truth remains that God will only give you what you deserve because he's not a partial God. Sometimes things happen to us and we are like Waoh! God is so merciful but he knows you can cope with the blessing he's sending your way before he gives it to you. God never makes mistakes.

Like they say, Luck and favour is preparation meeting opportunity. The right Job could come but if you ain't prepared, it will go somewhere else.
What you need to make it in this life is a strong will to succeed. In order words "faith". People don't know that faith is practical. You don't just say i believe and it happens. You have to find your self taking steps that you believe you are the right man for the job.
How do you show that?
You need knowledge and that bring us back to Reading,  Read everything you can lay your hands on.
See when you were in school, you used to read just to pass exams. Unfortunately the Nigerian Education system dose not prepare us for real life survival but just to pass exams.

The point i will like to make here is that, the education that you need to make it in life starts after school.
 If you always make the aptitute test but fail in the interviews, it means you are good enough to pass those exams but probably lack something they need in employable individuals.

The practical way to believe in God here is to ask God to show you that thing that you lack, so that you can work on it. You can do it. The natural thing is to blame government for you woes. But the earlier you start looking for the cause of your own failure within you, the better for you.

George, You NO GET PROBLEM walahi! abeg see all the opportunities that has come and gone as the past and start afresh. let me tell u a secret, be thankful to God for the job u've not gotten I mean THANK GOD, GMAT or COMPOSTURE or watever is not the answer my dear, dnt settle for less because u want a job, i got a job of 25k before but my guy, it was sufferhead i spent all ma money on transport and walkabout to get customers. thank God for a good job, believe and prepare. Dnt stop applying and keep the faith. God will help you.

r u sure u read what zain wrote properly? this guy never said anything about people sitting at home and waiting for God to bring them bread. he gave the honest and the best advise.

Nigerians r so full of God will do this , God will do that, God will not help you if you do not help yourself. The dude has done 30, i mean 30 interviews and no success,   was he really selling himself during the interviews or he is just been praying to God for miracle.

hey, look inwards , develop yourself, dress well, SELL yourself. Why are you better than the other fella for the job?

thanx so much ponpin,
i will be waiting for your mail. Thank you for bringing back life into me

Hi,
I do understand the pain you are going through.
All world is like this till you get a break.
Everybody passed this stage, but don't have time to write you.
My advice is get the first job which comes in your way. From thr you can break in some place. And don't stop your further education.
Many of the Bosses forget their path to success, any way there are some bosses who want to give a helping hand to others.
When you have time go in to this web and have a look in all sections, it got a job bank page with many links www.bbsnetting.com

Study more.
Get the first job which you get.(don't worry about the salary, get the experience.)
Good Luck.

hey , since u have an engineering background.

can't u take a course in like comp programming and use that to get a job.

i know its going to cost. but with comp programming u can even become self employed.

take care man, i hope God be with u .

hi

my brother, paid job might not come 4 now but please keep yourself engaged either in i.t studies, teaching secondary students, or learning i.t skills or learning a vocation while u keep applyin 4 d big job

no employer wants somebody that is idle 4 2 long.

Just for curiosity sake. May I ask bums if he is from Delta state?

Well George, I must say you can as well jump into a lake if you feel so disgusted. The problem with you and so many others is that you think a university degree confers on you the  reward of a job. I do not agree. I was a HR practioner and you will be shocked that so called grads can not even write a short sentence sencibly and correctly. I have never been out of work except deliberately. I have over the years learnt skills that will fetch me money legimately whenever I offer them. In short get yourself a skill in line with your talent. Like me I am a good writer with flawless speech. A walk into any audio production studio anytime will make me money from copy writing to voice over etc.

So give us a break and stop whinning.

Mr George,


we are in 21st century, a century for INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The 19th century was for AGRICULTURE
The 20th for INDUSTRILIZATION.

my humble advice is that u develop your self ok. Try to enrol into any ICT Training  center and get
an additional certification outside your University certificate. DON'T RELY ON UR FIRST CLASS OR EVEN SECOND CLASS CERTIFICATE. EVERY OTHER PERSON HAS A CERTIFICATE LIKE YOU.

ALL You HAVE TO DO NO IS TO DEVELOP UR SELF AND STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.

THE TOP IS NOT MEANT FOR THE CROWD

hi gorge, don't giv up d strugle. alot of people re in d same shoe wit u. cast your hope on God and one day it shall b over.
trust in GOD. d LORD IS UR STENGHT

Hi Onyeoka,
