Networking has to do with interaction with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts.

This time around it is very hard to secure a job in a big organizations like CBN, NNPC, EFCC, Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, even hard to be a permanent staff in a Commercial Bank and also in a big Private companies.

It's so frustrating, a company will advertise 20 - 30 positions and about 700 people or more will be invited for test and interview.

Securing a job faster is much more than how good you are because many graduates are as good as you are but all are competing for the same few jobs. So, it is faster to get a job through Recommendations from people that recognize the value you can bring to the table.

To get a Recommendation, you must first NETWORK
How do you Network? You need to go out from your comfort zone and meet people whether old or young. Connect with people online and offline.

The beautiful of Networking is that; all the people that is aware of your job problems will quickly notify you whenever they see any job vacancies that will interest you and may also recommend you for a job since they know your capacity and what you can bring to the table. I'm very sure, they will connect you.

Finally, always add value to people lives and let your circle know what you can do and what value you can add. You never know who will drag you up.
