How Can One Get A Letter From A Senator/hor/governor/general? by MightyMuna(m): 4:05pm On Aug 31, 2014
Good day everyone,

I'm 28 years old, studied in UK, have both a BSc and MSc degree, got Second Class Upper 2:1 in both degrees. Completed my NYSC in February 2014.

I've been in pursuit of a job ever since my arrival in Nigeria. I've learnt first hand that qualifications seem somewhat irrelevant in getting a job, while connections a.k.a nepotism, croynism, favouritism is paramount in achieving one.

Each manager, HR staff etc I've met, all advised me to get a letter from either a Senator, Governor, House of Rep, Director General, etc recommending me.

I don't even know how or the necessary steps to take to obtain this inestimable piece of paper. So I was wondering if anyone can help or has any advice for me whatsoever. I'll greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hi, I got my letter jan 31st this year, at the national Assembly(NA) & got the job at a Federal institution in this country infact just the next day...My qualifications are just as yours but was to no avail till I got this letter. I was told the same thing as you& decided to try my luck out..I met a lady in passing,who spoke about looking for a contract from NA, so I called her up& told her what I was looking for. Then she connected me to an SLA inside(because you can't get pass the security there without 4stages-1)that person inside has to send your name to be printed outside 1st with a code 2) you'd have to go into a room with the code where you'd be snapped& asked questions, then given a card number 3)you'll face the main security who would ask you to call up that same person to send a delegate to come pick you up roaming ISNT allowed,but my experience was different funny enough the SLA was very nice& gentle always calling me(third stage)...but it still delayed a while,so I just stepped aside & waited..Now typical nigerians with their bragging rights came along with "don't you know me",how dare you speeches but the security was firm,then fortunately I was called & the man said I was calm& I should go in..4)you drop an ID card or your hand set(I dropped an expired drivers license)pheew! Was so lucky It slipped then you'll be given a red card(if you are going for a senator&green if its an Representative)..I got in but my dear if not for that SLA(special legislative Aid)my mission that day would have just come to an end because everywhere is with only numbers(2.7.4,2.1.1) not either names of states or names of the honorable..but I believe if you can get that far you shouldn't leave till you get what you want why? Because its your right& their duty to recommend you for what you want but that was even after investigating! (yes the senator called people who should at least know my folks),even when I had my state of origin certificate! hope this is helpful.

This is true my brother, but the most important thing is to commit it into God's hand. several people have gotten letters of introduction for job in the time past but they didn't do anything about it....

Please if i may ask you,, where are you sure that if you get the letter they will offer you job?,,, pls let people know about it.. it will be of help to the folks.

Thanks.

Good day everyone,

I'm 28 years old, studied in UK, have both a BSc and MSc degree, got Second Class Upper 2:1 in both degrees. Completed my NYSC in February 2014.

I've been in pursuit of a job ever since my arrival in Nigeria. I've learnt first hand that qualifications seem somewhat irrelevant in getting a job, while connections a.k.a nepotism, croynism, favouritism is paramount in achieving one.

Each manager, HR staff etc I've met, all advised me to get a letter from either a Senator, Governor, House of Rep, Director General, etc recommending me.

I don't even know how or the necessary steps to take to obtain this inestimable piece of paper. So I was wondering if anyone can help or has any advice for me whatsoever. I'll greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
Is't because of foreign result?
