highyo: I PRAY MAY THE LORD FORGIVE US ALL AND BAPTISE US WITH HOLYSPIRIT AND FIRE IN JESUS NAME, AMEN

Obinoscopy: On a conclusive note, I beg that no more insults be posted here. Any NL who posts any insult will be banned. Thanks for ur understanding.

ifyalways: Having spent some time at this section,I think it's a good idea to have a thread whereby we can alert ourselves about job vacancies in our hood or otherwise.Please note,this thread is NOT for recruiters to post their adverts.This is not for middle men vacancies.This is for us to post job adverts we see around us(walking down the street,driving around etc).Vacancies posted by direct employers ONLY.

Please NO "contact by email or phone number" here.
Tell us the vacancy and where(street name,physical address/location) you saw it.

Scammers beware. I have zero patience for scam.

irsakant: There's NO point 2 disclose a number dat u wud call. Buh if any can display d number 2u, so it be. Send ur parcel tru dia contact address above. Cheerz!

bee444: You don't start a cover letter with "I hereby apply", and you don't need to put the "APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION..." stuff. What happened to "with reference to your advertisement on... or simple say "Referring to the job ad posted in the Daily Times..."

There's nothing like "Communications skills" but there is communication skills.Your conjunction is awful and your use of grammar is pathetic. What is "pleasant accommodating manner?" ..."skills to be considered". Considered for what? You have to be precise and at the same time elaborate. It is post-graduation and not post graduation.

The paragraph where you said you were a fast learner is too poisonous. What further discussions do you want to have? State why you would want the discussion. why not say " I would be pleased or it would be an honor to discuss this position with you in person". What is "my other knowledge?" I don't get it. Other knowledge are meant to be your qualifications (not school related).

You started a paragraph with "I have worked in the same University"..total rubbish! What same University are we talking about here?

I can not analyse all the paragraphs one after the other, but I must say you need more coaching in your use of English.

Why say "Thank you?" You don't!!! "Yours faithfully" is archaic and should be replaced with just "Sincerely"

Above all, and to be generous, I'll score you 4/10.

Kx: A quick one:
An interviewer once told me "as u can see" is an indirect insult to the interviewer and does not sound professional.
Edit that aspect.

Well it can also be argued that the phrase encourages the employer to read more about the candidate in the accompanying CV because the intention is simply to highlight the candidate's attribute(s) while also offering evidence in the CV. The covering letter is typically the first thing an employer reads and its content can determine whether or not they bother look at the CV.

However, an unprofessional recruiter with an oversized measure of self-importance is likely to misinterpret the phrase and term is as "an insult" so OP apply your own judgement.

AjanleKoko: There is a serious skills gap in Nigeria. Zero development of actual technical skills, nowadays classified as 'blue-collar' work. Also oversupply of white-collar aspirants, usually referred to as 'graduates'. No real skills, just looking for work.

For the youth in Nigeria, there is only one solution: take your future serious, and work hard at developing real skills that can put money in your pockets.
