Very nice write up. Now I have more understanding why qualified applicants do even get a reply from HRs. It's annoying sincerely, for one position and seeing about 500 CVs. Another thing I learnt here is that unemployed people should try and work with companies to get more experience even if they won't be paid. |

MrsAnyanwu: Even the almighty U.S has a rate of unemployment let alone a messed up Nigerian economy... Unemployment will always be here and until our graduates stop getting their degrees to look for jobs,the unemployment will always be high... So I no blame the op... Na the naija Government wen no make the country a safe destination for investors I blame. 2 Likes |

My HR officer complained about this same problem so many times! Used to crack jokes on people's CVs, but now she discovered Shortlist Nigeria, so only picks out qualified candidates for roles! It does make sense when I got to understand it. |

Krysstie:To tell you the truth: I really wanted to like your post, but I can't help but noticed how your points contradicts each other. While some of your points made sense, the others didn't. What you've written here is mediocre at best and can't be valued as quality advice. Secondly, the statement “Nigerian graduates are unemployable” is becoming somewhat of a cliché that has been used to death: if there are no jobs, why don't you tell us and stop the blame game. Furthermore, I have read widely and know what it takes to be employable and anywhere I go I see some graduates if not all that are employable and it baffles me that employers still give this cliché reason of “Nigerian graduates are unemployable”. Why don't you people rephrase the statement like this: “Some Nigerian graduates are unemployable” or “Most Nigerian graduates are unemployable” rather than giving us the same trite excuse of “Nigerian graduates are unemployable”. Finally, so what, we are unemployable, but what have you employers done to drastically decrease the un employability of Nigerian graduates. Have you carried out seminars, career fairs e.t.c in Nigerian universities making them aware of the requirements of employability. Have the employers ever picked up potential candidates and trained them up to their standards. Oh! Let me guess: no, because you are trying to save costs and maximise profits and the only way you can mask that is by resorting to the cliché sentence of “Nigerian graduates are unemployable”. If your write up is meant to impress and squeeze out praises from me, then am sorry you have failed because your write up is formulaic, trite, cliché and mediocre. 4 Likes |

kennytidistar:That is because nobody wants to work as a secretary, nobody wants to work as a teacher nobody wants to work as a book keeper, nobody wants to work as a marketer, nobody wants to work as a social worker, nobody wants to be a farmer. We all want to work in oil and gas companies, government house, hospitals, banks, law firms, dangote companies etisalat mtn glo airtel name it. Who will fill in the other positions? If the whole Nigeria should go for this little ventures, why won't u say there are no jobs? Have u applied for the job as a secondary school teacher and they rejected you? Hmm? I am jejely serving in NYSC farms and I proud about it despite the shoutings of my parents despite the fact that I finished as an elect/elect engineering student. I told the state coordinator to put me there and he was surprised. At present I am using my engineering skills in project management to better the place and am receiving recommendation from my manager and my director and bet me I will win an award while I am here. The experience here is fabulous. So humble yourself and see how u can serve. Its thru these small small areas the u will meet that ladder that will propel u to those multi national companies u so desire. You can't go higher if u don't meet ppl. You can't be known while u r sitting in ur house. It is when u movie out that u can recognise opportunities. Watching all the seasons of merlin, and kyle XY and bliv heaven will help u.

castro316: Good point but it's not easy out here bro. Most 'corpers' are of this opinion until they finish serving. Bro, fine, there are some graduates who aren't so smart and intelligent, but then again, there are lots of smart folks out there languishing who haven't made it. My point is: it's not easy being an unemployed Nigerian graduate. Too many variables affect your chances of getting a good job. |

Some people know within themselves that they don't possess the skills required to land these jobs yet keep quoting what they did in primary 6 and how they became head boy in secondary school. Like seriously? As if that would help the company in any way. I am one such person who doesn't need to apply for a job till my dying day. I already have tons of skills i can offer any company wherever they are in the world. Years of being a freelancer, developing in-demand skills and earning income from with them has placed me at a level where i am above my peers who are still sending CV's daily in hope of getting jobs where 10.000 people are competing for 5 or 10 positions. I feel for the youths and that is why we at brilliantlightsmedia have created a program to help us out. Now read the following [b]Meanwhile Read this........... 143 millions lines are connected today in Nigeria, more than half of that are making use of the internet service on their Smartphones, PC's and Tablets. Almost all of that average use more than 1 gigabyte worth of data monthly. That is, the normal Johnny on the street probably spends an average of #2000 surfing the web every month and #24,000 yearly. The amount goes higher when you move up a level higher to you and me. What are we doing with the data? Just scrolling through pages, viewing pictures and videos or actually doing something that could boost our financial status. While some people may argue that people just want to buy data to do these, i have no problem with that. But i am aware there is no man on the planet who is comfortable with where he is. Human wants are insatiable, thus the hunger for improvement in every sphere of human nature.

sometimes those questions doesnt define the ability of a potential employee. It is sometimes not in the words but in the performance. some great skills are discovered on the job. Most potential employee always feel bad when they know they have so much to give but the mr/mrs HR sitting right infront of him/her lacks the vision to see that. As the saying goes "ability is not define by what you have done but by what you can do". *very common with the over-sabi HR ladies Daresh: |

chinkichun: Nice one bro the thing is I learnt from experience that its only when u meet a strong opponent u will know how strong u r meaning that if u don't go out and struggle. Fine u may fail but u will not know how weak and un learnt one is and correct urself. Look, my dad is a chief and I have the luxury of 3 sqaure meals and four cars at my disposal but after finishing my degree I decided to pick taxi driving as a job to find out what is so hard about this life. Under the sun, under the rain, rough handled by garage boys caught by timariv (similar to LASTMA) in rivers state saw different types of human beings and different xters, going some days with little pay in my pocket and so on. I learnt much about people and didn't know I had started building my inter personal skills, I learnt how to get up as early as 4 am so as so meet up with target and this has followed me till now. I met ppl that changed my life while in the biz and so on. So where I am going to is that I learnt how to hustle in trying times - something I won't have done if I was at home. And most importantly I met God I was closer to me than I expected. My lovely dad was surprised when I came back I was stronger and I understood him better when he was broke. Before I never knew that even chiefs go broke. I became a man quick. Till today I will never, never, ever regret my choice to go into taxi driving biz. 2 Likes |

castro316: How many candidates can these sector you mentioned above can accommodate?, do not forget that all job position have their requirements, which school will employ a graduate without NCE or PGDE, except that school is no accredited be it primary or secondary, maybe some of you don't know that government policy sometimes multiplies the problem? all the sectors have standard and labour law have standard But here in Nigeria nobody comply with labour law, How will you take up a sales job in a bank that gives you unrealistic target and base you on commission not even a fix salary, in every employment policy there must be provisions for pension and gratuity, How many so called company have such plan for their slavery like staff they ride on like horses, I also served in a school years back before I relocated to Lagos, remo Methodist high school comply with labour law, if you work their your sure of your gratuity, How many other schools even the agric you talk about comply with labour law, Nigeria is not getting it right, That's the fact, many Nigerian runs to dubai to pick up contract jobs that last for two years, and their gratuity after two years is guarantee and still renewable my brother, you're young let no body brain wash you into slavery, the truth is there is no job in Nigeria start up an enterprise, learn something you can lay your hand on that will bring good money for you after passing out, listen to that unemployable lyrics at your own peril, my two cents, |

Pls I beg you in the name of God,stop calling Nigerian Graduates unemployable but write to Nigerian Government to revise school curriculum. I was mad with my school last time I visited,same person who taught you nothing calls you unemployable.Personally I am not Boko Haram but certificate Haram. Outdated syllabus should be dropped for current happenings.I asked my lecturer why she should teach us 8086 computer Architecture in this world of Dual core&Core I-series and all she could answer was that,that's what she was given to teach.I feel like sueing my school for fraud,deceit&scam.pls op if you called Nigerian graduates unemployable in the past stop&proffer solution 2 Likes |

kennytidistar: Ok let me put it this way. Can u do something for me just a simple favor. 1) Go to well paying firm of ur choice 2) strike a deal with the the manager that u want to work for free. that he should give u just enough to pay for you feeding and transport 3)bear it in mind that this is going to be a very tough time for u but u only need to gain experience from that firm 4)forget about laws and learn everything u can from that biz. Even though ur boss shouts on u. In short be result oriented Make sure the point men i.e the manager accounts, supervisors of that company recognize ur efforts 5)take a journal and write reports of how the biz run and see how to make that biz better 6)learn to be an expert in writing letters. That's one weapon in the corporate world. Know how to write in a way to convince whoever and not offend the person 7) be as humble as possible. If possible stay on the ground. If u r pisssed, relax and remember it is just for a short while - one year Ur motive actually is to work as a spy. Ur objective is to get as many contacts as u can as fast as possible including the customers that will help u one day outside that premises be nice to them. These ppl are ppl u don't see walking on the streets everyday but u catch them in such places Discuss on a cup of coffee with ur boss how u can make this or that better in the company and u will see how ur boss will open up to you Even though u don't get to work there again u already have the experience for ur cv and COOONNTAACCTS FOR UR NEXT JOB That's what u get from working without payment. |
