You don't have a problem, you've just been applying for the wrong jobs.

What you need to do is start being selective of the kind of jobs you apply for.

I rarely send applications to the big Dogs The Total, Shell, Chevron, Saipem,NLNG, and the likes rarely get applications from me . Even when I reluctantly do, I just lock up. Because the reality is that they rarely give you a feedback on your application.

what then Do I do?

I apply to the relatively small-big not too known companies , because most times I get a feedback (usually positive) due to the small pool of candidate I wrestle with.


In less than a year to the glory of God, I have followed this ridiculous route and I have not just gotten over 10 Apptitude Test invitations, but also gotten to the interview stage of about 7 different companies.

As you can guess, where I work now is a Small-Big not too known company in Lekki. I applied on a Tuesday, got a call on Wednesday to come for an interview on Thursday. Convinced the HR I was good enough and she asked when I can resume. I told her Monday

please incase any vacancy comes up there,holla at me,I stay at the axis and I really need a job,have experience botha s an admin person and also as a customer care representative,thanks

If you are in Lagos, Go to OAG technologies at lekki phase 1, they are into petroleum and gas engineering, u can google dem up...make sure your CV is well packaged ooo, narrate your ordeal to her...she can help u whenever there's vacancy if at all there's none yet...I will PM u her name

Try Ngcareers, jobzilla, joberman, careers24, jobmag, NBF, etc but before all this, make sure u have some technical skills in accordance with ur profession Like AutoCAD Designer, Plant Designs Management System(PDMS) etc and then back them up with 1 or 2 Professional Courses. With this you are there. Contact me or Google it for directions on hw to go abt those skills if u are eager.

go to iwriter.com and you can be writing article to make a couple of bucks. Gd luck

ApotiEriOluwa1:
Good day to you all,i'm a graduate of Biochemistry. I
need a teaching job in a secondary school (Abeokuta to be
precise). Anyone with info should please assist a sis.

Go to Paragon and submit your CV.

.

ApotiEriOluwa1:

Tanx, I wl do dat....

Preferably, the one along abeokuta-ibadan expressway that's if you don't mind the distance.

.

ApotiEriOluwa1:

I can, but accommodation will be problem.... pls if u see another one within Abk don't hesitate to inform me,... Tanx a bunch

You can't be so sure that's where you'll be posted to work. You might be posted to the one at oke-aregba as you'll be interviewed there. I'm just saying you should go there to submit your CV.

I checked your pics and there's this impression you attend DLBC. I learnt Deeper Life High School recently recruited. I don't know if it's still on, try and find out.

Mr OP, my kind advice is Simple


Don't apply for online jobs alone, go out to places n drop ur CV........Ur inability to get a job is cuz of ur 2.2 grade, its really a killing factor.


Online jobs are usually crowded dat dey tend to take on d best qualified ones(2.1 and 1st class)


Go to some companies not necessary big ones n apply E.g Spectranet, OLX etc


Networking matters alot......or better still go to Agencies or support solution companies like SOL, ICSL n VLA


Dey help tho........for more info, hala me

People like you are short sighted, what you think about yourself doesn't apply to someone else, I have a 2.2 in mech engr and I am on my second job, almost immediately after my nysc.
To the op, don't give up, change your strategy, pick up anything you enjoy doing and don't look at the money yet, it's gonna be a stepping stone for you later. Also, all those big companies n.a. waste of time if you are targeting them, look into smaller enterprise, companies that have about an 100 staff strength, you will be surprised.
All those big companies have millions who are applying for their job adverts.
Best of luck.

Bros, you wrote all these just because you want to insult someone's head back?

@ jeflondon I hope you've enjoyed yourself.

when I said 'almost immediately after nysc', I meant to say, I got my first job almost immediately after NYSC and after working a year at my first job, i left the place for another.

I definitely will ignore other part of your comment, you are not worth it.

Best regards.
