Waiting until you're unemployed before seeking for new work is akin to waiting until you've lost your job before starting to save a portion of your income. It's just not a smart idea to take it.

It's best to start looking for work while you're still employed. First and foremost, if you do receive an offer, you will be in a better position to negotiate a higher salary because your prospective employer will be aware that you already have a job and will be able to decline their offer if you are unhappy with it. It also alleviates the stress of being at home wondering how long it will take you to find work.

We tell new graduates all the time that the best time to start looking for a job is during their senior year.
Start talking to your job-seeking friends and your professional network. Many Nigerian undergraduates take part-time or full-time jobs while attending school, which may surprise you. Starting to apply for jobs, especially entry-level opportunities, in the last few months of your National Youth Service Corps service year is also a good idea. It's important to remember that NYSC is not a job. As a result, it will be finished.

What kinds of jobs should you look into?
Is it reasonable for a recent Theatre Arts graduate to apply for the position of Head, Internal Audit at Zenith Bank, where applicants must have at least 7 years of experience? The answer is no, and the reasons are self-evident. It's a job you're not cut out for. Instead, when seeking for work, apply to locations where you know you'll at the very least be invited for an interview.

You can't continually applying for positions that you're ineligible for and then be surprised when you're not hired. For example, if you get a degree in mass communication from a Nigerian college,
When seeking for work, your Cv isn't a joke - it's the equivalent of an arrow to an archer for a job seeker. Unless you're waiting for a miracle or a favor from a wealthy uncle, your chances of landing a good job are minimal if you don't have a solid Cv.

Treat your Cv with care and respect; build it as if it were a home, with a strong foundation. It should be as small as feasible. Make it a perfect reflection of your professional experience, abilities, and achievements at all times.

Your Cv should not appear like a novel, regardless of how many years of experience you have or how many businesses you have worked with (with too many pages).

Employers are seeking for certain characteristics.
Employers are in the business of establishing a brand and assembling a workforce capable of delivering results, being trusted, and representing the brand in many roles. As a result, it's no surprise that some recruitment processes are perceived as time-consuming. In some situations, potential applicants are subjected to a battery of tests, as well as a series of interviews and assessments.
The goal is to hire the best candidate possible. When it comes to hiring individuals for job openings, we've compiled a list of the top attributes employers look for. The interview and your Cv are two ways to assess some of the qualities stated before.

Keep an eye on your curriculum vitae.
When looking for work, your Cv is not a joke — a Cv is to a job seeker what an arrow is to an archer. If you don't have a solid Cv, your odds of finding a good job are slim, unless you're hoping for a miracle or a favor from a wealthy uncle.

Treat your Cv with respect and affection; construct it as if it were a home, with a solid foundation. Make it as small as possible. At all times, make it a perfect representation of your professional experience, capabilities, and accomplishments.

Nice topic.

I think the best time is once you become aware of the job opportunities that are related to your chosen field or course of study.

That way, you could in put in your best effort in grabbing all the basic knowledge you will need to adapt and function effectively in that field.

Which job

Getting called up for interviews isn't the issue for me, mine is attending interviews since I am still serving in Yobe, and most calls for interviews are in Lagos. I have decided to wait till a month before POP before I resume job hunt again.

Early Morning at least u fit get employment as a Bus Conductor to Ojuelegbe....

If u prophecy pim

For naija really? ?? Asking when lol

First,all this narrative about best time to look for job is not necessary because there're few high paying Jobs in Nigeria & it's reserved for the top elites.
Second, In Abuja if you don't know any core Northerner even with your perfect CV & good grades nothing for you.
Third, in the past, People buy jobs if you know the right channels but now even with your money you can't get high paying jobs. Its even worst if you're from the South, especially S/S & SE to less extend SW. If you like present the most compelling CV & certificate. Nothing for you unless you want blue collar jobs
Fourth,If you're a contractor & you don't know any Musa, Danladi, Hassan,Giddado etc in Abuja, even with your good proposal hunger will send you back to your village.
That's the Nigeria of 2021 for you.

Pls don't blame your CV, your course of study or your village people for your inability to get that white collar job. The reality is that there are few good paying jobs in Nigeria.

....on Christmas day

Anytime at all just know the right botton to press forget interview u are good to go “dead country”

Ileya day.

That is why it is good to have a good skill if educational employment nor work you have your skill as your backup..

As long as your testis is fully grown + your gbooo la. That's when you should. No need to thank me, what are friends for

There's no defined time to begin job searching. If you're a student, a Nigerian student lol ok. Start looking for job immediately if you're a Nigerian student because trust me when I say life after school na reality shock.

The monthly or weekly stipend your parents use to give you will cease as there's no logical reason why your folks should be paying a grown adult who is fully in the labor Force.

If you're already employed or maybe underemployed you should start looking for opportunities while you still work at your current job. No allow make unemployment embrace you fully before you start carrying file again. Always look for better opportunities and take them.

If You're a yahoo boy.... Never mind

Look I'll be candid. Find a high value skill and learn it. You'll be relevant in the long run.
