Getting a job is a job on its own, but the jobs are out there so you need to keep up the effort and enthusiasm. Your new job is an inspired effort away. |

OP I salute your determination! Imagine, less than one month post NYSC and you're not taking it easy at all. Your hardwork will be rewarded. I couldn't help laughing at some parts though. Loll. Cold calls usually don't work for job searches o. Please rest your feet dear. As some have mentioned, practice and keep practicing aptitude tests. Apply to as many companies as you can online. At least with a 2.1, your options are somewhat less restricted. Also referrals help too. Talk to your friends, family, neighbours, Church or Mosque members and spread the word that you're looking for a job. You never know where the opportunities will come from. All in all don't give up. Keep pushing and you'll reach your goals. God speed! 3 Likes 1 Share |

you know what folks, I ask you to pray for divine favour. Dont let your face drop.Let the struggle add a spin to your step. I was unnemployed for 5 years, yes 5 years of staying indoors and praying to God. Then one faithful day i help showed a man a street when he visited the compound. The rest was history. I mean all my years of hardship has been forgotten. He will see yu through, Though its stormy now, but belive me, its never gonna rain forever. 1 Like |

I have really enjoyed creating this thread, sharing my story;I received quite a number of criticism and also quite a number of encouragement. The Struggle continues all the same. I was just so down when i got back today that I took to this forum to churn out my grievances and never regretted doing so. At least I had quite a number of good laughs from some post and above all, I hope someone, somewhere has learnt a thing or two from my experience and from people's views. 2 Likes |

[quote author=Sashafm post=39388258][/quote] My dear I actually served in Abuja. After my service years I spent few months combing FCT, but when I get to realize that Abuja is all about federal parastatals/offices and no existence of even biscuit industry, I took to my heels. Anyway, I wish you luck dear. |
Re: My Experience Today As An Applicant. by Ultimus: 7:23pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
taiwolusol: And you as well are a blighted dunder head. The unemployment you see us grappling with today is as a result of the failure of the country to protract the economy in accommodating our booming population. For me, the only thing that will make sense is if the govt diversify the economy and stimulate more private investments. |

Dear Sashafm, I salute your determination and doggedness. It's not unnatural to be disappointed seeing that you set out with such high hopes and expectation. My advise to you is this PERSIST! PERSIST!! PERSIST!!! Don't give up in your search, just be more tactical and smarter. Write down the salient points you've been advised with. Search smarter. I tell you, people get jobs faster when they inform everyone and anyone they know. So many people have asked for your course of study, let them have it. The opportunity you seek could just be here. I admire your determination, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You'll do well darling. |

Smiles....OAU.? ....2:1.?....., you better brace up and stop living on old glory, Recruiters doesn't look at institutions disparity anymore, all they need is your content......all you need is to get connected....I prescribe Linkedin for you...I wish you the best. |
Re: My Experience Today As An Applicant. by cheerokee(m): 8:26pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
Instead of searching for non-available jobs, you can become a boss of your own.. I know of someone who joined a multinational networking company and made almost 2million in the space of 5months, though not everyone can do this business, it requires active doggedness and your ability to bring more people to the business, your bonus increases as you do it, the company has a lot of products you can sell and make bonus from it self (no target).. let me stop here for now.. if you're ready just send me a DM PS. it's not GNLD oh, just Lagos residents only pls, contact me, I'll link you to someone who'll register you with (#4,000) please, it isn't compulsory oh, don't lambast me.. |
Re: My Experience Today As An Applicant. by Nobody: 8:40pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
That's the spirit of Great Ife. I did exactly the same thing you are doing 8years ago. I remember going to Glo office on the island and I stood in front of Adenuga tower. The security guys are the most dreaded. They will never let you enter. You have to strategise. After spending hours in front of the office, if I see anybody dressed corporate come out of the building, I will walk up to the person and say "good morning sir/ma, pls I want to drop my cv in this company, can you help me" Everybody I met, looked at me and hissed. Some will just politely say "sorry can't do" I stayed there for more than 4hours and 1 guy just passed and said "you have been standing here since, what do you want" I told him and he collected the cv from me. I was very glad that I did what I wanted to do. It gave me joy. My cv entered Glo. Though I believe the guy could have trashed it to relieve me from my trauma. Al the same, I was satisfied So keep the faith. Push, go anywhere you mind tells you, be bold to talk to anybody you see. They were once job seekers. Sashafm: 1 Like 1 Share |
