Most companies no longer accept hard copy of CV. So they would usually tell you to senf it through email to them.

Just have a copy in your mailbox and search online for recruiting companies you can send it to..

Also be prayerful and ask God what he wants you to do and that He should guide you to the path he wants you to go.

Now you are completely in God s hand

You might not understand this now

I smell experience all over 😂😂😂😂

Passed out from NYSC.....hmmm 😔
Education down the drain shss.....

It's your education that is down the drain!
What i needed was a simple direction from those that have gone through my phase

Calling one attention to error is very effective than crowning yourself expert

Your education is a waste if you can't use it for the betterment of the society

Let me help with the format I used in the mid 2000s

Just pay attention.......

Going to offices to submit CVs now is outdated. The security guys will use you to shine. You do not have to do that at this modern age.

Search online for the name of the MD of your targeted companies, the company address and write a good cover letter, stating your competencies and capabilities and what you think you can offer the company. You must have researched about the company anyway

Post the letter using NIPOST or any of the cheap courier companies. The letter will be delivered straight to the MD's table. If he reads it and finds it interesting, he would order the HR to call you immediately. Some MDs likes people with boldness. For you to have made effort to get his name, researched about the company and addressed your letter personally to him, he may want to give you a chance for an interview.

Do not address the letter to the HR. Read my post above very well... Write to the MD. If you write to the HR, typical of Nigerian HRs, the person will just trash your CV and may not get it to the MD or any of the hiring manager. If you do not know the name of the MD, use the sample below:

The Managing Director
Atlantic Petroleum and Exploration Limited
22 Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue
Victoria Island, Lagos

Another format, go to Ikoyi, VI and part of Lekki Phase one, check for all those coded companies without sign post. Lay siege for any of the staff or driver coming out from the building, engage one to help you submit CV or ask if you could get details of the HR or MD. Some of these coded companies in VI, Ikoyi and Lekki without sign post are multi billion naira companies. It is only when you enter the compound and see the kind SUVs parked that you would know how far. The building hardly pass one story building, but the buildings are usually cozy and serene with touch of class.

Get the addresses of the buildings you feels may be harboring a company. Confirm from security or passersby the name of the company. The security guys at the company may not want to disclose the name of the company to you. As I earlier said, some of these uniformed security men could be overzealous and they know how to use job seekers shine. Ask passers by or any Keke or public driver or people hanging around if they know the name of the company.

Seeking for job in this country requires street smartness. I got calls from MDs for chat and interviews with some of the CVs and applications I submitted using the stated format above. My first job located at Idowu Taylor, VI, was through this means - submission of unsolicited hard copy application and CV. I remembered, I just left ICAN office where I went to submit a document and saw one company like that without any name. I inquired about the name and sent a well written cover letter and resume to the MD. Emphasis on cover letter because that is where you tell your story

Good luck!

Thank you
May the good Lord bless and keep elevating you

Olden days/Nollywood

Who told you?
I worked in M & B for several years. It all started with dropping my cv at the gateman’s desk in Sapara street., off Oba akran. I remember dropping it in about 20 companies on that day in Ikeja.
If you are really desperate, you’ll achieve the impossible.

SaintLucia:
Why must it be Lagos State? Can't you go to Anambra state where Obi Pandora turned Nenwi to Paris, Onitsha to Dubai and Awka to Singapore as claimed by zombiedients.

Lagos is a slum, Lagos is this, Lagos is that but zombiedients will never ease to come to the same Lagos for greener pastures.

Common sense is not that common

Boss welldone for explaining it in details, I'm also in the same shoes with OP and I would like to ask a question if you don't mind. My question is that do i have to look for companies that is related to my field or it's just a random thing??

You mean common sense is far away from Obi Pandora who couldn't develop Anambra state for his people but allow them to always troop into Lagos State for greener pastures.

The company must not be related to your field. But you must have developed great competency and capabilities on one specialty - a transferrable skill. I always tell people, especially, young graduates, to make out time in acquiring capabilities and expertise in one particular area.

You may have an excellent communication skills - writing and verbal; Microsoft Excel; Data Analytics; Excellent Customer Service Skills; Graphics Design; Advertising and Marketing Skills; General IT skills and Professional qualifications in accounting like ICAN or others.

The above skills are minimum expectations. For each of the skills you mentioned in your cover letter, you must state briefly how you applied it and the positive impact it had, which may be quantifiable. ie put in absolute numbers if possible.

Well skills can never be over emphasized but for some of us we aren't opportune to learn a skills. Now as a graduate without any formal skills what do you suggest I do like in my CV and cover letters how do I make it attracted attention since I don't have a skill?

CV is a marketing document. If you have nothing to "sell" in your CV, then as an employer, I am sorry, I have nothing to offer you. That's the bitter truth. The job market is fiercely competitive and even more competitive in an economy like Nigeria. You just have to make out time and develop your skills except if mother luck smiles on you and you get job by "connection" or recommendation.
