@Op hoe many applicants dat have strictly followed your rules that you have eventually employed.. Even d most qualified one is the end delayed till God knows when. It's not your fault nau, it's the fault of the economic situation in the country dat is making you give rules and regulations to even get an invite. Tell me you didn't get an insider influence in where u are working presently. I [b]simply expect you to say d reason why u are not getting invites is [/b]you don't have someone inside to push up follow ups for you... That's more acceptable.

referral is a proven way of getting employed. Network more so person go fit push for you.

Yes o.. Tell dem!!!

Well said OP, let me add one more.

4.Applying where everyone is applying- Estimates have it that an average of 80 persons apply for every job vacancy. I can assure you its way more in Nigeria judging from what we saw during the immigration and police force recruitment. The best way to get a job is to get the attention of the decision maker. I don't mean standing out in a crowd, I mean not being a part of the crowd at all. You can do this via a strong network (referral), someone who can connect you to the decision maker. A strong network can put your application right in the hands of the decision maker. Another way is to create a powerful personal brand.

In the present day Nigeria. This is what does it best.

Attaching an application letter is no way being forward. It may be discarded, but it's it's way of selling other skills your CV may not contain. Many employers will not tell you to attach it but it is what many check out for.

it is being forward if you weren't asked to. That's how people fail. Why don't you also attach your credentials cos according to you "many employers will check for it"
Oversabi,Aproko,ITK doesn't pay.

I'm not disputing the fact that cv should not be looked at but what I'm saying is that it shouldn't be a criteria for one to get a job, you should also no that the economy Crisis we're in in this present era contributed immensely to this new rule of seeking for a job because in my days it wasn't like that.

thank you

if you cannot prepare a Good CV is there anything Good you will be able to do when employed. Yes, it wasn't like that in your days - change is constant, time and methodologies have changed.

For your information, I'm gainfully employed. The fact that someone is employed doesn't mean the person can't still submit cv. There's something called "Career Growth" ,Ever heard of that Nitwit?? That's what i desire. I won't stop submitting my cv's till i get to the peak of my career.
Keep reading and learning from your dumb link and get dumber.
I still insist that Aproko,Oversabi & ITK doesn't pay....Kapish!

Career growth is NOT synonymous with CV submission. Apparently, you work in a wack institution- which is a fit for your likes anyways for you to be submitting CVS here and there. Connect with relevant HR professionals and discuss this with them if truly you envisage "career growth" otherwise, you will still be where you are in 20 years.

Ok...Thanks

Hmmm too much harsh remarks ... should I call it job hunt frustration. Op, I dey feel you. . But referral nai sure pass for Naija. all the same na holistic approach we go use. All join. I learnt something from this thread no doubt . thanks op

Dumb head,did you say career growth is not synonymous to cv submission? Then whats synonymous to it? Someone wants a growth in career,the person should just sit and sleep at home ,then wait for manner to fall from above?You obviously don't have a career. Don't you spend your whole life in nairaland job section. See who's preaching to me about connecting with HR personnel, you need that connection more so you don't keep advising job seekers falsely.
Just keep on replying me, I await your comment looser!

applying to jobs is never same as career growth. you can work in 10 different organisations with no growth or improvement- which I am thinking is the case with you anyways. you wish for a career growth then you will need to work in a challenging organisation. One with mentoring and leadership skills provision, real experience attached to an employee. you see that now. Majority that work in a competitive and challenging environment don't go here and there submitting CVs. The career growth is inherent in their organisations.They may be considering a change of job for better pay, different experience and probably more network. olodo , do you get it now -This may be too hard for you to comprehend.

Tell them abeg!

All these crappy rules don't work no more. Especially no 1. That's how I was writing letters up and down with cv after I read a similar post on here and not one single shingha invite. I will even tailor cv to suit, do everything in detail and submit but nothing .


Now the shocker: I got tired and stopped attaching all those plenty grammar cover notes and started sending only my cv : if u like read n call me/if not forgerrit Adon kia! Which bcm my watch statement and before long invites start rolling in Infact I even got an offer frm one of such I ddnt even bother writing jack CL with, I just sent and voila it went thru and after series of interviews n tests I got the job.

Abeg this job hunting thing na continuous prayer o make village ppl comot hand for pesin mata to God be the glory!
