5 Possible Reasons You’re Unable To Get A Job by PatrickOkunima(m): 6:51am On Aug 17, 2018 |
Unemployment is a huge problem in Nigeria of today. There just seem not to be enough jobs for the teeming population of graduates and job seekers. It has become the proverbial “many are called few are chosen” thing. There are many graduates that apply for jobs almost every day yet they wonder why they don’t get invited for interviews or aptitude tests. The fact is their countless job applications might have been turned down due to one or more of the following reasons. So what are these obstacles and how can you avoid them as a job seeker?

The main reason is that they studied an irrelevant course in the University... A course they never knew existed even when they were filling jamb form... A course they studied because they couldn't get their desired course... A course they studied just to answer University graduate... A course they studied because they felt time waits for no one... A course they studied because they thought education starts and ends in the classroom... 21 Likes |

6: Not being able to defend your certificate - Most graduates these days know nothing, infact they are simply a disgrace to their certifications. Graduates who couldn't write their projects, had 3rd parties write their CVs and have no idea of the content and can't even defend it. Most have nothing to say in an interview and nothing to show for the years spent withing the 4 walls of a school. Unemployment is a disease in Nigeria but Unemployability is a wide spreading epidemic! 12 Likes |

OP PatrickOkunima ....are you coming from only the position of the candidate cz you didn't list out aspects of the employer Being recruited by an organization is a two way thing that involves you playing your part and also the recuiter handling their own end Sometimes you give it all you've got and may never know that the fault was never from you but might be a recuiter with a certain mindset So, I'd advice you add another number to the list of possibilities so people who aren't informed don't think it's all on them to improve 3 Likes |

Might just be a sign you are meant to be an employer not an employee.. Reach inside of you, create a business from your passion, might be difficult seeing friends living the dream while you struggle for every penny, but believe me you would laugh last and longer. 2 Likes |

It's been few months after NYSC and I doubt if I'll send my CV to anyone else. I'm go to start learning a business as an apprentice from now till December after which I'll start mine. To get a 100k job in Nigeria is pretty difficult and it also means it'll take almost three years to buy a tokunbo Camry if you don't spend out of it, and that's not gonna work for me. 1 Like |

derrydinny:Exactly! I needed to employ just 6 persons for a 65k job but over 300 people applied. Now, most of them qualified for the job but surely, I can't employ all of them. So used funny criteria like "the one way I like him face pass" to select. |
