Unemployment carries a lot of emotional and financial baggage for most of us with fear being a major part. We fear the financial fallout of no longer receiving regular wages. We fear the impact of our lack of productivity on relationships: our marriage, our family, our friends, and our social and community activities. We fear losing the respect of our children when we can no longer give them what they need. We fear approaching acquaintances for help in identifying potential positions. We fear the humiliation of the job hunt and the personal rejection we expect to encounter. And finally we fear the most basic concept we hold within: that we're just not good enough, that we can't cut the mustard, that we're an incurable loser

After graduating from the tertiary institution, the next thing on most graduates’ mind is getting a good job that will be worth all the stress one went through in the tertiary institution. The reality of the situation of the country comes up with the ever increasing statistics of the unemployment rate in the nation. This makes it quite difficult to get that dream job.

As a young graduate, you decide to pick up any job that comes your way to gain experience and start from somewhere rather than sit idle at home. After spending weeks on the job, you realize you made a mistake in taking the job and the next thing on your mind is to start searching for another job.

Those who get noticed, have an easier time getting the job, promotion, etc. Your resume is your first introduction during your job search and your first opportunity to get noticed in order to get a foot into the early stages of recruitment. Showcasing your ability to be creative not only helps you to get an interview, but allows you to showcase your ability to be creative and innovative to your employer.
Remember that the purpose of a resume is not only to show off your abilities, experience, and the value that you can bring to the organization, but your ability to outshine everybody else. Although some are trying to move away from the format and design of 'traditional' resumes, there are aspects that should can be carried over or tweaked to fit your individuality.


images can be seen at post: http://blog.jobfetcher.org/2016/01/5-simple-ways-to-create-unique-resume.html
Be Visually Appealing
Creating a visually appealing resume is a great way to stand out from the rest, most resumes follow a precise structure, using colors, and restructuring the no-nonsense structure of the traditional resume is something to explore during a resume makeover.
There are an abundance of ways to get creative with your resumes. Remember that the point is to showcase your creativity, not overwhelm the recruiter. Limit the range of colors that you use, do not allow the visual to distract from content.

Incorporate Important Keywords
Understanding how to use keywords is not reserved for SEO work alone, keywords are important in the structure and wording of your resume.
Identify words that will resonate in the recruiter's mind by visiting the organization website, and doing as much research as possible through social media platforms like LinkedIn. Reread the job description and research leaders within the organization in order to understand their vision and the terms that will help you to not only get noticed but to do so in a way that your potential employer will value.
Make Your Resume Adaptable
Making your resume adaptable means ensuring that it is easier to modify for different positions, with different requirements. Sending the same resume is something that should be avoided as much as possible.
Use formats that allow you to easily go in and to shift the focus from one skill or requirement over the other.
Remain Focused
Through your resume, your mission is to convince the recruiter that you are not just a great fit for the position, you are the best option. In order to do this, make the time to understand not only the position, but the capacity in which the organization has directed previous employees in the past.
Nina Mufleh wanted a dream job with AIRBNB, and created this amazing resume, which she then shared with them on Twitter, cc'ing the CEO!

And of course, he responded!
Nina's resume was not filled with details of her background and experience, but instead, made it clear that she took the time to research AIRBNB, the areas in which they needed to improve as it applies to the Middle East.
She thought outside the box and it worked for her!
Declutter and organize your experience, focusing on details that will highlight your value.
Use Social Media to Your Advantage
Social Media is a great way to build an amazing personal brand, which can create incredible opportunities for you, especially if you have successfully grown a large network. Using LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter professionally is just the tip of the iceberg.
Using a larger platform, like a blog, to provide solutions in your industry is a great way to market yourself as an expert in your industry. In order to build a powerful brand, understand what personal branding is, and learn from those who have mastered the skill.

“You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner… Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the day. That’s a foolish notion held by people who have no imaginations. You will be able to accomplish more. You get two days in one — well, at least one and a half, I’m sure.” – Winston Churchill


Do you usually feel so tired, irritated and sleepy during work hours? Have you caught yourself dozing off at intervals, during an afternoon meeting, or staring blankly at your screen?

It may be that you need to nap at work.

A website reader poll revealed that 63% of people who got less than 6 hours of sleep at night admitted to falling asleep during work. If you fall into this category, it’s perfectly normal for you to feel sleepy because you actually need a power nap to snap you back to productivity.
7 Reasons to Nap At Work | Jobfetcher Nigeria
Sleeping at work

A power nap is a short nap during the day, usually about 20 – 30 minutes that helps to refresh you without sending you into a deeper state of sleep. These naps boost productivity at work, reduce stress levels, improve concentration and mood, improve alertness and memory retention. Napping actually increases your working memory and increases your ability to focus when carrying out complex tasks according to a research carried out by NASA.

If you always feel drowsy mid-day, on your way back home after work, or lack energy during work hours, you should definitely take up power napping. Sometimes, you might also find yourself facing important presentations, meeting with clients, or right in the middle of complex problems. Taking a power nap would help you get better focused.

The main reason you want to take a power nap is to regain energy and boost productivity, so the ideal time is between 20-30 mins. This short time would help your body get refreshed and complete at least two cycles of sleep. But if you wake up between 35 to 60 minutes, your body would go into a state called ‘sleep inertia’ which would leave you groggy and even more tired. If you had the luxury of sleeping for 1 to 2 hours, which is a restorative nap, it would have been great, but hey, you are at work, you don’t have the time for such frivolities. You can try that during the weekends.

Now you know what a nap at work entails, follow these tips and enjoy healthy catnaps!


1. Before you start your ‘napexercise’ you ought to understand the policy of where you work. If your employer frowns on you sleeping at your desk, right smack in the middle of work, then taking a power nap right then would not be ideal. What you can do is take one before you start work for the day, during your lunch break or immediately after work. Make sure you do not interfere with work. But if your company welcomes the idea of power napping, then the world is your oyster.

2. The next step is to get the right location for napping and also get comfortable. Find a conducive place to nap without being disturbed. You should also think of taking eyeshades, or your headphones to supply you restful music…it helps.

Comment some job sites in nigeria please, thanks

A man came home late from work, tired and
irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for
him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask
such a thing?” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much
do you make an hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said,
“Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”
The father was furious, “If the only reason you
asked that is so you can borrow some money to
buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you
march yourself straight to your room and go to
bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I
work hard everyday for such childish behavior!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut
the door. The man sat down and started to get
even angrier about the little boy’s questions.
How dare he ask such questions only to get some
money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed
down, and started to think: Maybe there was
something he really needed to buy with that $10
and he really didn’t ask for money very often.
The man went to the door of the little boy’s
room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son?” He asked.
“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you
earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and
I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the
$10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh,
thank you daddy!” He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out
some crumpled up bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money,
started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and
then looked up at his father.
“Why do you want more money if you already
have some?” the father grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,”
the little boy replied.
“Daddy, I have $20 now. CAN I BUY AN HOUR
OF YOUR TIME? Please come home early
tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

This story is a reminder to all of you who are
working so hard in life. We should not let time
slip through our fingers without having spent
some time with those who really matter to us,
those close to our hearts. If we die tomorrow,
the company that we are working for could
easily replace us in a matter of days. But the
family & friends we leave behind will feel the
loss for the rest of their lives. And come to
think of it, we pour ourselves more into work
than to our family. An unwise investment indeed

Before they were great leaders, they were great employees. Most accomplished entrepreneurs and executives built their success on a solid foundation.

It seems that everyone wants to be an entrepreneur these days. Everyone wants to be the boss and run their own show. I can certainly understand the motivation. The idea of doing your own thing, of ruling your own destiny, is certainly an attractive one. Besides, the job market sucks.
That's why there's a nearly insatiable demand for start-up and leadership advice.
But here's the thing. The vast majority of you are putting the cart before the horse. The characteristics that will distinguish you and your career are developed, not when you're the boss, but when you're an employee.
You see, all the accomplished entrepreneurs and business leaders I know built their success on a solid foundation. What starts with your parents and teachers, continues with your managers and mentors. Maybe you'll become the manager, the teacher, the successful leader. But only if you were a great employee first.
Here's what it takes:
You manage your responsibilities, not your personal brand. Look, I know personal branding is a big deal these days, so let me be very clear about this. If you're great at what you do, your personal brand will take care of itself. It's the same with great products. The customer experience speaks for itself. Likewise, business isn't about you, it's about what you can accomplish. That's your brand.
You tell the cold, hard truth. And you do it for no other reason than because it's the right thing to do and you care about the company and its business. You don't worry about the consequences. Contrary to popular belief, accomplished leaders and executives know better than to trust yes-men. I've always valued people who say what's on their minds and I myself have never sugarcoated anything. CEOs truly value that, and my reputation stands on it to this day.
You always find a way to meet your commitments and get the job done. If you're motivated to move mountains to meet your organization's objectives and driven to do whatever it takes to satisfy a customer, then you're bound to be a winner in the business world. Those attributes are valued above all others.
You don't interview particularly well. Half the articles on business sites are about interviewing. Granted, if you can't get past the interview, you won't get the job. But on-the-job performance is really all that matters to your career and your company's success. I've always looked for smart, motivated people who could do the job. And I didn't need a bunch of bizarre interview questions to make that determination. Interviewing really isn't rocket science.
You seek achievement, not power or authority. You want to go places, but on your own merits, not by bullying or pushing people around. You want to make good money, but by contributing to the growth and success of the business, not because you feel entitled to it in some way. You don't want things handed to you; you want to be challenged. That's what drives great entrepreneurs, gets them up in the morning, and keeps them working long hours.
You ask "How high?" People always sarcastically ask, "If he tells you to jump, do you say, 'How high?'" While I've never been accused of being a pushover, I've always believed in having a customer service attitude. The popular term these days is "servant leadership." Same thing. I didn't get to where I am today by asking people what they can do for me, but by asking what I can do for them. Funny how well that's worked out over the long haul.
You don't whine--ever. A lot of people seem to think that companies should exist to serve their needs. That's not the way it is and it's definitely not how it should be. I know that's not a popular viewpoint, but it's the truth, nevertheless. And you know what? Good companies and managers have known for decades how to engage, empower, challenge, and motivate employees without indulging whiny, entitlement behavior.
So, before you set your sites on running your own show, first try to be a great employee. Everything else will fall into place. It may not be popular, but for just about all of you, it is the way to go. I guarantee it. What do you think? are you ready?

(Surprising tips on networking in a business gathering by Jemina H.I[Career consultant guest post])
The daily hassles of job searching could almost kill whatever creative senses you once possessed. From one career coach to another, saying you are not doing things right, in the end you amend so much of your personality and your CV you end up misplacing certain unique traits that make you … YOU!!
So, this will not be another one of those articles on punctuality, being friendly and wearing serious colors or haircuts to a business gathering, In fact it’s the complete opposite! Here are some tips I’ve found quite useful to create a lasting impression and establishing fruitful relationships with people you meet while you are networking in conferences, seminars, Job fairs you name it!


1. Reverse the resume rule
More often than not for we job seekers the night before we are to attend a business gathering, in between the time when we are practicing our smiles and rehearsing an introductory note we send for more copies of our CV, yes that’s right!! The resume rule says have as many copies of your CV with you always and everywhere you go but I’m here to tell you my good people *in a preacher’s voice* that it’s totally wrong and won’t help. Yes you want to speedily hand out your CV to the guy/lady from HR you just met so they could call you as soon as possible. However we fail to remember a resume is just a piece of paper and interestingly yours won’t be the only one the HR lady/guy receives in that event so the question is how are you remembered?.......no answer? ok. The answer is DON’T GO WITH A CV!! Yes it’s crazy advice but it works. Let them ask for it and you say, “Sorry it’s not here with me but I do have a soft copy on my Ipad do you mind giving me your email address?” at this point you’ve not only managed to get your CV across but you also got their contact details so once in a while you could throw in season’s greetings messages and subtle reminders about on your CV. Also ensure it’s a direct email address and not that of the organization.

2. Clown colors do the trick!
A few years back I was from the school of thought that you should look as constipatedly(if the word exists) serious as possible when attending business events. Wear dark colors, shave your head, and pack your hair in the tightest bun till your forehead looks like a hammer. I’m sure you are getting my drift. From all the research and discussions I’ve had with employers, I’ve discovered a consensus on one quality job seekers lack and it is the ability to stand out. Job seekers need to understand that employers see thousands of faces and resume’s and they often will contact individuals who made a good lasting impression. Of course it is important to power dress but who says power dressing only embodies dark colors and an overly-serious look. For the ladies maybe next time you go job hunting in a business event try a pink jacket instead of black or navy blue or a bold color of lipstick could work. And for the men how about brightly colored ties or a unique bag the worst that could happen is the HR lady/man says “ wow ,that is an interesting choice of color” this shows you have a daring and unique personality not just some face in the crowd and Yes! Also something they can remember you by during the CV review sessions “the guy with the funny colored tie”.

So hopefully you’ve picked up something useful from these tips and you are ready to create a lasting impression, stand out and shine like the star you were created to be! And don’t forget to follow up!

The start of the year is a great time to gear up to start a business. But, of course, you first need to figure out a winning concept. "You have to come up with a lot of ideas to be successful," says Stephen Key, cofounder of the website inventright.com based in Glenbrook, Nev., and author of One Simple Idea for Startups and Entrepreneurs: Live Your Dreams and Create Your Own Profitable Company, (McGraw-Hill, 2012).
Key, who has licensed more than 20 products in the last 25 years, says he generates ideas by finding different ways to engage his mind, from walking the aisles of stores to brainstorming about holes in the marketplace.
Here are eight techniques from Key and other experts that could help get your creative juices flowing:

Ask yourself, "What's next?"
Successful business ideas are often ahead of the curve. Think about trends and technologies on the horizon and how you might move into those areas, says Sergio Monsalve, partner at Norwest Venture Partners, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based venture capital group. He suggests, for example, thinking about innovations related to the living room and home entertainment systems now that companies like Apple are developing new television technologies. "What can that mean in terms of new ways to live in your house and be entertained?" he says.

Do something about what bugs you.
When Colin Barceloux was in college, he thought textbooks cost far too much. In 2007, two years after graduating, he decided to take action and founded Bookrenter.com, a San Mateo, Calif.-based business that offers textbook rentals at about a 60 percent discount. What began as a one-man operation created out of frustration now has 1.5 million users and 200 employees. "You just have to look at what frustrates you," he says. "There's your business idea right there."

Look for new niches.
Your business idea doesn't have to reinvent the wheel. Take a look at what some of the big players in an industry are missing and figure out if you can fill the gaps, Key says. In 2003, for instance, he started the company Hot Picks, now based in San Jose, Calif., after realizing the major brands in the guitar pick industry weren't offering collectible novelty picks. Key designed a skull-shaped pick that filled an empty niche and was sold in 1,000 stores, including Wal-Mart and 7-Eleven. "The big guys leave a tremendous amount of opportunity on the table," he says.

Apply your skills to an entirely new field.
Think about your skills and whether they might be useful in a new area, suggests Bill Fischer, professor ofinnovation management 
at IMD
, the top-rated Swiss business school, and co-author of The Idea Hunter: How to Find the Best Ideas and Make them Happen (Jossey-Bass, 2011). Consider, for example, JMC Soundboard, a Switzerland-based company that builds high-end loudspeakers. Jeanmichel Capt invented the speaker by applying his experience building guitars as a luthier, using the same resonance spruce to create a loudspeaker that produces a high-quality sound and looks like a sleek wood panel. There's also Providence, R.I.-based Dear Kate, a company founded by Julie Sygiel, who used her training in chemical engineering to create a stain-resistant, leak-proof underwear material that active women can use without worrying about menstrual leakage during a workout.

Find a category lacking recent innovations.
When coming up with ideas, Key likes to identify markets that haven't had many recent innovations. For example, when he realized there were few new developments in the product information label business, he created information, a label consisting of two layers—a top layer that rotates with open panels through which you can see, and a bottom label that you can read by spinning the top layer over it. Companies needing to fit more information about a medication, for example, could use the extra label space for the details.

Make a cheaper version of an existing product.
Companies often get their start by offering customers an existing product at a lower price. Take Warby Parker, an eyeglasses company launched in 2010 by four business school friends. The New York-based business sells prescription glasses, which are typically priced at $300 or more, for $95. Since its launch, it has grown to 100 employees.

Talk to shoppers.
To come up with an idea that meets people's needs, there's no better way than by talking to shoppers. If you are interested in mountain bikes, hang out in the aisles of sports and bike shops and ask customers what they wish they could find in the marketplace. If you're interested in developing an e-commerce business, consider sending an online survey to potential customers to learn about their needs and interests.

Play the mix and match game.
Walk up and down the aisles of a drug, hardware or toy store combining two products across the aisle from each other into one, Key says. That should spark quite a few ideas, but be prepared for most of them to be bad. "You will come up with all these horrible ideas, and every once in a while you will find some brilliant idea out there," he says.
