[quote author=pDude]Rubbish!! Its only in naija that this shyt applies. Abroad who give a fvck if it is "sent from blackberry" or you have a funky email address? Till tomorrow i still use my email address which is my (name + my favorite rock band) and I still get called for interviews on a regular. Abegi! Work nor dey naija thatt's why all this shyt applies to weed out a vast majority. Sad country [quote] Common spare us this your rubbi..sh (With due respect). What do you do? Maybe you would have gotten a better job than that your present job? You just show total insensitivity to a globalized world. The article above is applicable anywhere in the world and it is the truth. I don't know where you ply your trade but in the countries where I have lived and worked...These points count a lot. My organization's global Recruitment leader mentioned some of these points. Where is job in the whole world now? Greece? Spain?, US?, The Global labour market is saturated not only in Nigeria. All the same guys still leave US and UK to work in Nigeria. |

Sad country :' Guy I don't know the part of the "abroad" you live; but I must tell you that in the United States people are being corrected and even sacked from their job because of these same issues. I have heard of people that has been fired from their job because of what they posted on Facebook. To get a professional job in the U.S, this is just a good example you need to follow otherwise no job or a low paying dirty job....... I don't know the kinda work u do anyways... |

The issue of CV sent via Blackberry itself isn't main challenge, it needs to be sent with at least a short cover letter. Thank God for internet - please if job hunting, access form filling and interview skills sites and train yourself on how it should be done. If you need help, always ask someone who you know is good at it. Always REMEMBER you are competing against 100's of others for the post. The recruiter is going through so many applications. Help him and help yourself - MAKE YOURS STAND OUT! It requires effort. Every success. 4 Likes |
Re: Common Mistakes By Graduates When Job-Hunting by ObamaUS: 3:55am On Feb 28, 2013 |
Thanks very much for your kind observations.I am an employer of labour and i placed an advert in one of the dailies on January 1st,2013. It was very disturbing to find out that over 80% of applicants including unexperienced and fresh graduates sent their CVs to my email without introducing themselves and even addressing the CV to the recruiter. Áll what they do is "Pls find attached,My CV,FYI'. It got to a point i had to mail some of them and sincerely advised them never to do such things as it turns recruiters off because they receive thousands of emails and CVs and they can be put off with any little stuff. It's quite disrespectful and rude to just send a CV without any introduction of yourself and respectful way of addressing the employers. Please recruiters all over the world get put off with all these childish and arrogant mode of applying for jobs. Most Nigerian graduates are not cultured and just because they have blackberry,they just think they can forward CVs to employers thinking manna will fall from heaven. Most of the time the meaning you are passing to such recruiters is that you don't value such jobs and that is why you can just forward your CV leaving the recruiter to open the attachment. Let's change our attitude and orientation.There are jobs in Nigeria.You only need to have the right attitude and the skills to get such jobs. I just hired somebody yesterday on a monthly salary of N350k.The guy was very respectful in his application and mode of sending his CV.God bless you guys and God bless Nigeria 2 Likes |
