Hello Naira Landers.. this is my first post. Wish it hits FP.

How sure is online job application, because as someone as I am looking for a better package and also those in search of a job have been submitting huge amount of applications online with no luck.

Is there any better way forward?

I thought I am the only one noticing this trend. My people what is the way forward!

That is because you're not the only one looking for a job.

The way forward is that you keep believing it works.

I got my current job through an unsolicited application. I also have a pending interview from an unsolicited application. Let me also add that I have had a couple of invites from unsolicited applications I made in the past.

At the end of the day though, you don't even need anyone to testify in order for you to believe that it will work for you. Before I sent out the above applications, I came across a lot of posts which either carried the message online applications don't work, or that 'hard copy' applications do not work. I started asking me self, 'what works then?'. At a point, I discarded the negative reports I had come across and I did my thing, afterall, life is per head. The fact that it didn't work for those posters didn't mean it wouldn't work for me. The simple summary of this epistle is that, you don't live your life by looking at someone else's reality or failure.

Lastly, if you keep on applying without response though, it could either be because of something you are doing wrong in the physical (badly crafted cv) or something going on spiritually.

All the best.

It works,provided you're applying to what you are qualified for not forgetting a proper CV,the right application requirements,a reputable equal opportunity firm and of course God factor.

Hello,

Urhhh, I really don't think that would be a good mentality for him to adopt. I don't know, but I feel what job seekers need to drum into their own ears, is that they are applying to get THEIR OWN JOBS, and that they are not in the same pool as the millions of job seekers looking for jobs in Nigeria. Don't mind me though, this opinion of mine is borne out of my knowledge that the lot of everyone is maintained by God, and even when it appears that they are knocking heads with others to get it, they will still be picked out and given what is theirs. (Psalm 16 v 5 and Ezekiel 21 v 27). All they need to do is to put themselves in position to be blessed, because if their lot comes and they are not ready, it may be passed on to someone who is, as God has principles and he doesn't indulge loafers.

Sorry for answering questions you never asked me though.

Nice day.

Is he the only one asking God for a job? No, there are millions of people who probably pray more or need it more than him.

What am saying is, he cant conclude that online application isn't working just because it is yet to work for him. Many ppl are getting jobs thru that medium including my humble self. Hes not the only one applying.
Therefore, he shud differentiate himself, have a gud Cv, get some skills etc and also pray more

Okay then.

Yes,they are not totally reliable, most of ds companies must have finished recruiting before the so-called jobsites post it online.

OP the issue is controversial. All we need to do is to remain optimistic, give the best because the application market is quite competitive and pray for miracles.

If God of Olajumoke the bread seller turned a model overnight is still alive, victory is ours this year!!

It works bro.

You've got to keep trying, write an exceptional CV like the samples on my website and remember to always pray for God to order your steps.

It works faster if you have someone in the company you applied to or some pushed your Cv. It's tough getting a job via online application. More like 2/10 chance
