This is why most Nigerians eventually get fired from work, lose there job or never get that job they applied for.

A good percentage of job seekers in Nigeria make this mistake and don't realise it and the result has always been negative.

DON’T claim expertise you don’t have.

Many job seekers claim to be “fluent” in the entire Microsoft Office Suite,

When what they really mean is, “I use Microsoft Word and I’ve opened PowerPoint a few times.”

you claimed that you are proficient in Microsoft office on your CV, you are simply saying that you are very good in

� Excel

� PowerPoint

� Access

� Word

� Visio

� Project

�Outlook

The real question is, are you really good in everything you stated?

Some people are less than truthful about their skill level on job applications and during interviews! Gasp! Really?

Even if they don’t deliberately fib, at a minimum, applicants often tend to overrate their true Excel skill levels.

After all, who doesn’t want to sound like a great candidate?

So, when the interviewer asks if you are proficient at using complex Pivot tables, Vlookup, Macros in Microsoft Excel,

It is real easy to just smile and say “yes.”

Even if you don’t really know what a “Pivot table” is.

But hey, you’ve probably used Excel, at least a little.

How hard can it be? However, if asked to prove it – right then and there – would you be ready?


Hope that was helpful and has set you in the right track of knowledge.

Ignorance is a disease which must be avoided.

Good evening
I'll like to point out a little mistake some of us make in sending application which is sending a "blank mail"(no letter body) with just attaching CV. I was quickly enlightened this evening.

In a nut shell,letter body should comprise of a little about yourself in relation to the applied job (nature of the job) to sell urself to the employer/HR
Main point "letter body" and "Job Title" is vital
Gud evening

Have you ever thought that you were perfect for the job, but you still did not get hired? Here are a few reasons that could happen and how to fix them.


You’re perfect for the job, your CV matches the job description, and you have a flawless personal brand. But, you still didn’t get the job. Why might that be? What can be the reason? You might start blaming employers for being too picky or the tough job market and the fact that there aren’t enough jobs in your field.


But, the truth of the matter is that there are other people getting hired, despite your field being really tough. There’s a high possibility that you might be doing something wrong.
That’s why we are here to highlight the possible mistakes that you may be unaware of but can be the reason why you’re not landing a job.
So, without further ado, here are some reasons why you may not be getting hired.

(1) You’re not using a proactive approach:

If someone wants to achieve their goals, they’ll need to commit to them. Certainly the same applies to job hunting. You can’t expect a job offer to magically fall onto your lap without any effort done from your end. You’ll need to proactively develop and implement your job search strategy, instead of going with the flow and applying to jobs as they come.
You’ll need to start with yourself and identify your strengths and weaknesses and build your strategy based on that. Do you have the required skills for the job? If you’re qualified for the job, great. If not, you’ll need to take the initiative to develop and grow your skill set.

(2) Your Network:
What about your network? Are you connecting with the right kind of people? You should definitely focus on connecting with professionals who have some sort of connection within the industry or company that you are seeking to get into, because they can act as a direct link between you and the employer.


(3) You don’t seem passionate enough:
When it comes to passion, you either have it or you don’t, and employers are quick to notice that. They can sense your lack of passion from a mile away. So, be sure to show your passion for what you do or for the job you’re pursuing during the recruitment process. You’ll need to explain why you chose this position at this particular company and what excites you about it, and a great way to do that is through having a sell-able CV and suitable cover letter.

(4) You haven’t done your research: More often times than not, employers will ask candidates certain questions about their company and brand, in order for them to see if they actually took the time to research the company. For instance, not knowing the names of the products can be understood by employers in the wrong way; they might think you’re not that interested in the job or that you’re too lazy to do your research.

Now, employers won’t expect you to know the ins and out of the company, but you should definitely know the general information of the company that is available online.

(5) You’re not properly selling yourself: You might think you’re doing a good job at selling yourself to employers, simply because you’re boasting how well educated you are and that you have great leadership skills. But, that’s not always what employers want to hear. There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance and you need to understand where it lies.

When you’re job hunting is probably when you’ll need to sell yourself the most. And yes, you do need to portray that you’re fit for the job by explaining your skills and competencies, you can also show pride in yourself by mentioning your past accomplishments. But rambling on and on about how amazing you are might send the wrong message.

You have made a good decision by deciding to read this post now that the information is needed and would like wise motivate you to take action.
What I am going to share with you will keep you motivated and has the potential to change your life when you follow its content serious.

You might have come across similar post like this before and over looked it because you think it's a waste of time, but I would like to tell you that this is the same thing I do to and have made cool cash from it.


The difference between the both of us is action and determination, saying no to failure when it comes knocking.

It's time to take advantage of the internet and make some money out of it

So without any further ado lets get started....


Below are the 3 profitable online revenue streams in 2019 that are fairly simple and very easy to apply.

Anyone can do it regardless of their experience with computers or internet.


1.Power of content marketing

There are lot of people who have made a lot of money creating and marketing their own content. Although it takes time and effort to create such content, it will undoubtedly bring you more money than any other thing you can think of.

The type of content you can create includes e-books and things like online training programs.


Nigeria is a great country full of enthusiastic consumers! Instead of just browsing the internet or been idle, why not start selling your own product?

Maybe you are a beautician and have discovered a product that can help people control skin problems you dont know you can making money out of this and start making fortune from it.

One thing you should know is that you are the boss of that and have total control without limitations.
Everything is like that, the more efforts you make to earn the more the money keeps rolling in.


An information product is a product that provides information that the buyer is looking for.

You Provide information as a product on your website in the form of an e-book, audio or video. Even if you can't afford for a website now, why not start a facebook page Rome was not built in a day.


Although the creation of information products is a great way to create wealth online, it may take longer than the other business models mentioned but it pays well when you have become an authority in what you do.


For an information product it is necessary to create a website, a sales letter, a digital product, as well as marketing, traffic generation, skills and experience and I will advice you never to go for a free website it's as bad as wasting your whole time and effort you rather stick with a facebook page for the start.



2. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is simply promoting other people's products to earn commissions. When you register for an affiliate product, they give you a special link to promote that product. Anyone who purchases that product through his link receives a commission. You can easily create a simple WordPress blog with some comments that promote a product on Clickbank.com or another connected network. So your blog should appear on Google for those specific keywords that people are looking for, the visitor will see your blog and then click on your affiliate link to buy the product.

I know most of us are feed up with affiliate marketing in Nigeria, because we think affiliate marketing doesn't work in this part of the country and nobody has time to buy from it. But I have to let you know that this is a bad perception affiliate market still works in Nigeria.

Ask yourself this question does it mean that no one is making enough money through affiliate marketing in Nigeria. By the time you have gotten answer about that, you should know that affiliate marketing pays in Nigeria. People are make serious money from it and you are not different from them.

The thing behind affiliate marketing is knowing what others are doing and using it to your advantage. One other thing you should know is for affiliate market to work for you, you must have a dedicated audience have the right product and knowing how to present it.


3. Marketing of Kindle books
This is probably one of the easiest ways to generate online revenue. In short, use the Kindle store on Amazon and create your personal e-book to buy and download.

The secret of this method is to do the right research and make sure your Kindle book is optimized in your search and in the list of recommended products. Amazon and Kindle make all the sales for you, all you have to do is place the Kindle book in your market.


You have it, there are no excuses for not making money in 2019, you can start little by little with with what you've got and share your profits with other companies


NOTE: making money online is not easy and requires a lot of work. Just like anything else in life, succeeding in something requires hard work and dedication.

Action is required to succeed in internet marketing and make money online. And the biggest challenge is making your first dollar online. Once you've done that, you're 95% and it really gets faster.

more update coming soon

Well am happy at the level we have gotten to now and things are getting better. Gone are those days as anyone in Nigeria can actually open a PayPal Account with Nigeria IP address, but even at that, there are certain limitations which we are still facing at the moment and that been not able to send and receive payment using paypal.
