Really sad. Sometimes I do wonder what such girls spent their childhood days doing. I mean cooking is one of the very first and important thing every African mom teaches her daughter so how come that some of these girls do not know how to cook?

A person like tonto can Bleep any man senseless but she cannot prepare ordinary ewedu soup.

What a woman.

How do you expect her to know how to prepare ewedu soup? Is she a yoruba girl? How many yoruba girls can prepare eastern delicacies?

so far so good...I HV done 4 aptitude test...2 at which I lost due to d fact dat I did nt graduate with a 2.1...n d oder 2 I failed, as 4 d CV u have a very good and well formatted CV, no blunders n my communication skill is excellent... u can c from my write up

I doubt if any company will invite an applicant who didn't meet the basic requirements for a job test maybe you left out your class of degree in your resume. That's a good move. You should consult my post again. I ve updated it. As I rightly pointed out, the points I raised are not textbook approaches to landing a dream job but applying them can improve your chances.

The fact that you are getting invitations for job test is a good sign. Do not relent due to initial disappointments. It is not easy even for graduates with first class and 2.1. Securing a job can be a herculean task in this clime.

While you are still opening job portals and waiting for the next interview invitation, there is a need for self development. Professional Certifications are good. Some people have already suggested that. You can also use the social media as a means to reach out to prospective employers. Do you have a LinkedIn account? What do you use your facebook account for? Do you possess a unique skill? If yes, the social media is a good means of showing people what you can do?. Don't ignore NL job sections.

Op, the information you provided in your post is not enough to give you a sound advice but be that as it may I ll try as much as possible to chip in something.
how attractive is your CV?
From your post I deduced that you are yet to be invited for any interview or job test (correct me if I am wrong). Maybe the problem is not your class of degree but your CV. How good is your CV? Does it portray you in good light before prospective employers? Is it filled with grammatical blunders? Is it properly formatted? Your CV speaks volume of who you really are when you are not there therefore I ll advise you to work on your CV first. Consult professional CV writers if need be.


How good is your communication skill?...yeah you heard me right. How good is your spoken and written English?..Even if you succeed in getting invited for an interview and your communication skill is poor, your chances of landing the job is slim. Work on your communication skill, read books, get a dictionary, enroll for an English class or get a private tutor if you have to.

What other soft skills can you boast of?
How is your analytical skill, leadership, teamwork and interpersonal skill ?..You need this skill if you are to function effectively in a work place.

What did you do during your Service Year?
Most employers know that job seekers especially for entry level positions have little or no work experience so they use the activities you engage yourself in during your service year to evaluate your work ethics and level of commitment to organizational and personal growth.

IT Skills and other Hard skills
Are you a computer literate? Pls don't feel insulted by this question if you are. It will amaze you to know that a good number of graduates don't know what "right-click" means. Yes it is that bad! Are there softwares, IT certifications that are relevenat to your career?. Go for them.

Internship, Volunteer Jobs and Research Works.
I ll advise you to lay emphasis on experience and skills you acquired during your internship since it has been proven that experience topples certificate. Highlight volunteer jobs you ve taken during vacations. Also research works and your final year project( if it is any good) can work miracles for you.

Networking is also an alternative
It has worked for some peeps. You never can tell where your miracle might come from.

Please none of these is a guarantee to securing that dream job but it will go a long way to improve your chances. Remember the aim is to get you to interviews first. I'm not totally ruling out the masters. A masters is very good to have but it is not a prerequisite for being hired for an entry level positions. Goodluck

Don't waste your life girl over nothing

femiranking28:
But you know the governor is the chief security officer of that state, well I don't even know who the ocommissioner of police in that state is he is as silent as the deputy governor of platue state

You don't need to know the name of the commissioner of police of the state. Knowing that the police and other security agencies charged with the protection of lives and property is present in the state is enough.

So leave the Governor out of it and channel the blame to the appropriate person(s)

femiranking28:
Oh lawd,and where is the governor of that state the chief security officer

Leave the Govermor out of this. If anybody should be blamed, it should be the police and other security outfits in the state.

Just checked mine. It's original.
