For everyday a jobless Nigerian comes online, he'll see one so called resume expert telling him or her why he's not being invited, forgetting 70% of jobs are by recommendations.

That was how one popular HR lady on twitter was always tweeting about why people are not getting called for interview. I finally reached out to her and paid for resume revamping and cover later. For two months that resume did not get me a single interview. Meanwhile, the same so called resume expert HR was also asking people if there are vacancies in their companies so that she can recommend people.

If na only by CV, why you also de lobby for slots?

I finally had access to a platform that gave me access to thousands of foreign CVs and just used it to craft a nice one for myself, Immediately started seeing results.

All this ones na because work no dey Naija. For America, na employers dey beg people to come work.

I remember watching one CNN documentary where an American was complaining bitterly of how his workers don't stay beyond one week. They start work this week and quit the next week grin


You're Right.

Most Trending People Around The World Are Seeking For Remote And Hybrid Jobs Nowadays.

This is The Beauty of The 21st Century of Intrapreneurship.

This is good to know....

I plead with our naija interviewers

Its an interview not an interrogation.

Some won't ask for your skills thru communication. U'll hear, so which year and month did u graduate and all other absurd questions

Engage with ur potential employee and see how good he/she is in communicating and idea projections


One chief and his group of friends were just gisting with me, i was flowing normally n naturally and at the end he was like that's d end of the interview..

Start next week and write about what happened today in this discussion, that will stand as ur writing skills.

No long leg o.

Your advice is good. But following it does not qualify one for a job and going against it does not disqualify one for a job in Nigeria. I said, "in Nigeria".

But I have to admit that any applicant that just says or writes something like, "I have MSc in BANKING POLICY", obtained his or her certificate in a questionable manner. 😀


... obtained his or her certificate in a questionable manner" says who?


It's not if work lest any man should boast. Have the right contact and forget all the above stories.

You're Very Right With Your Experiential Narrative.

Most CV Appraisals Created Their CV APPRAISING COMPANIES For Themselves As Their Online Grind After Understanding That Alot of Graduates And People At Large Cannot Craft Out Their Own CVs.


It's Always BEST That You Get Creative About Providing Solutions To People's Problems.

The More People's Problem You Can Solve; The More You're Able To Earn Provided You Monetize Your Solutions.


You Need Not Continue To Trouble Yourself Seeking For Jobs Alone; When You Can Start Earning Money As You Provide Some Particular Solutions To Some Particular Societal Issues.




All of Your ARSENALS Should Be Loaded For Earning PASSIVELY.

Volunteer To Do Something For Other Brands - If You Cannot Create Jobs For Yourself.


There's Power In Volunteering....

You Don't Need To Lie.

You Can Let The HR of Any Company Understand That You're New To The Job Experience And You're Willing To Volunteer So As To Gain Experience.


Within Your First 3 Months; Your Diligence At Volunteering Would Expose You To Alot of Experiences And As Well Provide You With Some Stipends From The HR.

OVER TIME; You Could Be Staffed Based On Your Work Ethics!



Volunteering Will Even Help You Gain Their Recommendation If You Have To Move On To Another Job.


Hope You Understand ?



You Don't Need To Lie.

Good point. This can only work in the western world. People get Good paying jobs in nigeria without CV, no application letter, no qualifications and no interview. Just know the right person.

My experience in AUCHi polytechnic while looking for a job for medical laboratory science job in 2013. We were 120 to do the first interview. I made it to the second round of 13. I made it to the 3rd round of 4. Only for 2 guys to start work for the same role without application and interview.

I repeat, getting work in nigeria is no longer by merit but who do you know. Even in the so called religious universities....
