Recently became employed and i wish to share my experiences.
  I graduated from a renowned Nigerian instution with a 2.1 in architecture and a 4. Cgpa in masters. My skills included knolwledge in almost all relevant architectural software and general computing, so job humt must be easy right?

 ;DHowever i wanted a job by searching on my own. this led me to scurrying through jobberman, texing and mailing numerous online firms, calling various firms listed in the registered architects booklet.

  I got some offers, but the pay and work environment was discouraging.   After 2 weeks of looking... I humbly went back to my dad (who i had earlier refused his offer)  and just like magic, got a call from a nice firm to come and start work asap.

Anyways the point is.

1. Jobberman is now crap.. Nigerians have spoilt it with spam (got a lotta fake mails, plus jobberman kept advertising a cv rewrite (5k)  and online courses.

2. Jobs are near u. Check online using google maps or directories. For example i used archon register of architects, Gave me a localised list of numbers and mails

3. C.V's? Crap....show them what u can offer... c.v is just a formality. Peeps at my workplace havent even seen my C.V.

3. C.v's are good, but are better with connections.... Find an influential person and disturb the crap out of his/her life.

4. Be humble and honest. Ur cv is probably not the best, plus honesty pays...

5. Pray pray pray..

can u meet ur dad on my behalf. make this testimony make sense wella

Hmmmmm

so in other sense....no connection no job

In phynos voice(enwem chineke nna bi na eligwe enwem connne). Op connect me na

I don't see how prayer and honesty played a role in your recruitment.

Yours is a clear case of "Who you sabi"
Not everyone walks up to papa and just a dial away, an offer comes.
Some of us no even get papa.

Boss, thank you for your advise eh!
If to say you find work on your own, ur advise for change to testimony

lol, Nice one... Congratulations...

self confidence.

BTW drink dey office make I show?

Chai...

Good for you op.

Not every1 will have a father that is that influential. I never had a father like such and thank God for where i am today.

Hardwork and due dilligence still pays.

U can still get a good job without knowing even a gate man.

Get ur good grades in school, prepare a very good CV, prepare for aptitude tests and apply for those jobs. Trust me, this seemingly trite method still works.

price ?

Selfemployment is the best employment. Ask my igbo business men. Most of the Estates in Abuja are owned by igbos: Efab, Prince n Princess, Saharah 1,2,3 etc...

Mtcheeeww U only job-hunted for 2 weeks....so,is dis a testimony or wat?...cos i stil dont get it

And the moral of the story is ?...... it's good to have a daddy with connections.

Off course everyone knows Jobberman is crap, samething with careers 24 .
@ job seekers try LinkedIn and info Nigeria jobs they are very good
