If there is no "Lack of Jobs in the country" in ur list then its incomplete...matchew

scratch out number 3. We all had 'lack of experience' at some point.

In my own opinion, the major reason why most graduate don't get easily employed is their poor communication skills especially in the written form. You read an application presented by a 'graduate' and you'll almost weep for him/her.

Adding "no job" is a form of discouragement. There are jobs, but the few jobs available are for "extra-ordinary" graduates that can add values to the few firm and not take from it

The problem of unemployment still remains that there are very few jobs being chased by too many qualified graduate...
I strongly advise Nigerian graduates not to be soon dependent on their certificate, rather they should look at other directions like learning a skill or learning how to trade even after graduation. I toiled this path I have no regret...

My man pendusky... I see ya

Nice list...but the reality on ground is different.

How do u guys come about all this list. If u finish eating to bowl of eba, then u start pasting list upon list.

Nigerian graduates are lazy simple. All they do is send CV's. Even when we have created a program for them to earn online, some join in, open an account and go relax hoping for millions of dollars to pour in. I think something is dumbing our youths and chaining them down to a life of poverty and lack of desire to amount to anything worthwhile in life.

Kindly read through point 3 again

Yes I read it again but is it the graduates faults that they do not have sufficient experience for a job role? For most employers, the 3-6 months of industrial training doesn't count as much on the applicant's resumé.

1.    Lack Of Professional Connections

For a fresh graduate, it is not often easier to find valuable contacts to recommend a job or get recommended. This is absolutely okay if you have just passed out of university and searching for employment. But, if it is your tenth attempt for a job and you still have no connections, then you are not taking this issue seriously. A valuable connection not only guides you in right direction but also helps you step into a job easily. Employers are followers of technology. They are in a constant search for a common connection that can fit in a vacant position in his organisation.
Use social sites, such as LinkedIn, to capture attention of industry-specific professionals in order to gain professional mileage. When you are socially visible on these online spheres, you magnify your visibility. Ultimately, you are in reach of a prospective employer who shares common interests with you.

2.    Lack Of Talent Identification

Majority of fresh graduates blindly follow a field without first realising their own potential. Having a degree in ‘marketing’ does not necessarily mean that you cannot pursue a career in film direction. You can definitely do it if you have the passion in visual art and really think you can make a name in this field.
If you are excellent in something, it is meaningless to question its relevancy with your degree. Talent is not measured by degrees and certificates. It is an unquantifiable thing that is beyond parameters of worldly norms. Just take initiative and follow your dream. It is never too late to find your passion. It is just a matter of time and place.

3.    Lack Of Experience
Fresh graduates often do not have any practical experience of work. The lack of experience interrupts their job application and causes a significant delay in their employment.
If you have just passed your graduation and does have any previous experience, it is natural for an employer to not give you priority for a job. However, there are other more important things in your career portfolio that you can make up with your inexperience. As a starter, you can show your previous on-job training programs or internships that you have completed in your trade. You can even demonstrate your specific life experiences that make you perfect candidate for a job, if this is the case.

4.    Graduates Are Too Choosy About Their Jobs
Nowadays, graduates are too choosy about the job they pick. They expect the best salary figure, ideal location, flexible working hours and lenient work environment. When graduates demand so much perks and benefits, they end up losing an opportunity that could benefit them in the long run. Ultimately, they deprive themselves of the larger benefits that they could have availed in terms of professional exposure and career profile.
When you land a job interview, consider it as an opportunity to streamline your career success. Do not think about that mundane ‘zeros’ in salary or the trivial benefits. At this stage of your career, you should focus more on skills and professional experience that you can gain from an opportunity. Look into the professional values that an organisation has to offer you rather than salary package that will not do any good at this stage

There is only one real point which is "graduates are too choosy about their jobs". The rest does not necessarily guarantee you'll get a job quicker.

You can say it again

Ok

I know many young graduates that are very choosy, that opportunity goes while people that got the job keep gaining experience and they change jobs after a while. Talk the job and keep searching for a better opening. Even people with the connection, it is not always easy to land a dream job.

Every highlighted points are very important

Choosy?
I don't want to see the graduate who will settle for less after
the acquired experience.
Would you jump at a job paying 40k monthly just because of being employed?
