A question please, is it ideal for a guy to attend a job interview with a one-button suit?
Looks sort of too stylish for a job hunt event to me...

Pls answer..

Being recently churned out by NYSC, on October 15th of this month. I have always heard about how precarious it was to get a job in this country without connections, but I did not actually know the gravity of it until now. Armed with my 2.1 certificate from OAU (The best University ) and my NYSC discharged certificate I thought now I have arrived to become gainfully employed.

I left Lagos for Abuja just 2 days after my POP, alas, after sending out countless applications and applying for any job that fits my criteria, I have not even been called for a single interview!!!.

I was swayed after a week and thought to myself, if I wouldn't be called for interviews I would go in search of the companies my self and make an appearance. I was Wrong . I am not really conversant with Abuja very well, but i was determined to go in search of a job physically instead of gazing at my laptop all day long. I dressed in my best, looked very corporate even wore my corporate court shoes that i painfully bought from my alawee in the hope that when I get called for interview by Standard chartered bank or PWC , I would launch it. Anybody that met me on the way would think I am a business executive,on my way to seal a contract deal.

Started the long journey to town as I stay close to the airport. on getting there I started from Wuse zone 3, as I had earlier sourced from the internet the addresses of companies that had posted vacancies in Abuja. My plan was to go and submit my CV in person .Unfortunately for me I was even unable to locate the offices as, the Address given on the internet did not even correspond. mogbe moment was activated as I was lost, broke and on heels with no direction. I was being turned back at most of the offices, that was when I realized the gravity of being an unemployed person. At a point removed my shoes and changed to my sanders as i had packed them in my bag. Dejected and sad, I turned back home. And here I am at home again. Glued to my laptop and scanning for job again. It is indeed pathetic.

Your life in a picture.

Work on your punctuation marks.

lol, welcome to the to the group

have only one year to finish, but after reading your story and comments makes me feel like its better to remain @school.......#scared

One thing I belief is that God made things good in His own time just ensure you are not idle, engage in doing something and dont just do things without a goal. I finished my nysc 2012 with the hope that I will be able to secure a job at that company that promise to offer me a job after my nysc as a result of my outstanding performance while I had my intership with them but by the time I concluded my service, I headed to the company , wrote their exam, went for first interview, second interview and while awaiting the medical interview, unexpected happened which affected the entire branches of this company and later fold up. I was dissapointed but started given other multinational company a trial but all to no avail, then I later composed myself to ask God His actual plan for me, then I discovered that He needed me in lecturing. then I put in for my master at university of ibadan, I tried my best to attain phd grade then secure a placement at one private institution for lecturing, I worked there for a year and use the few saving to embark on fish farming and I thank God I 'm fufiled now, and still awaiting federal appointment soon.

Is it my imagination or is the poster complaining about not having a job barely one month after she rounded NYSC? Are you for REAL? You have spent only one month looking for a job and you are actually complaining!

Even in the US, you still find graduates looking for jobs for months! @poster, it is my humble opinion that you should NOT be complaining of a paucity of jobs as you just finished NYSC. That said I hope you find a job soon and best of luck!

In the meantime, you could freelance on Upwork.com, since you have a laptop and internet.
