Currently unemployed and it's not funny at all. And I just published a book I wrote about the benefits of Losing Your Job.

Threesha:

I have been laid off once and fired once. And I also survived 2 mass layoffs.

None of those experiences felt good. When I was let go the first time, I panicked because I had no savings.

I spent 3 months unemployed.

The second time, I had savings and spent 5 months unemployed. But I survived both times and actually moved into better roles.

Today, I’m grateful that I had those experience even though I was devastated in those moments.

They pushed me to the next level in my career each time. To everyone being affected by layoffs, please take the time to breathe.

Evaluate what you really want out of your next opportunity.

And keep your head up.

Something better is coming!

A lot has really happened to me on this unemployment wahala since i finished service last year. I initially got a job as a credit officer in a microfinance bank, omooo i won diee for that work cos i didn't know it entails me walking around the whole state just to get customers to take loan and if i didn't meet stipulated target, my salary might get delayed. 2 month into the job, i had already had to resign cos of the hazard the job posed, imagine a young guy like me harassing a 70yr old men & women cos of default, it even got to the point I had accident but God saved me shaa, naso i leave the work ooo. 5 months later after sapa nearly killed me, i got another job in a Medical Lab working as a laboratory officer, i worked there for 6 months and i had to resign this month cos the pay was small and my employer wasn't ready to increase it, imagine graduate collecting 20K monthly ooo , i enjoyed the job just that the money can't solve anything at all, i had to accept the job cos i didn't wanted to sit at home doing nothing but the pay was too small...Now I'm currently searching for job, i have a BSc in Microbiology and i don't mind working anywhere as far as the pay is okay...my Phone number is 07043010958.

I had to quit my job for NYSC. After NSYC, to get the job back na wahala because I was offered a lower position and pay.

I jeje learn programming and the rest is history.

No young person should be jobless.
Jobs yakpa!

galantjoe:


You shouldn't have resigned from the lab job. Because it is relevant to your career prospects which if you have garnered much experience you can open yours or work in a bigger firm.

Maybe it's time for you to use yourself as an example of the character/s your book is all about?

Ezemann:
I guess those living in Lagos have an advantage over those in other states. Akwa ibom state has been the worst hit with regards to unemployment. In uyo, the only job you can do is to be a private school teacher with as low as 15k monthly. After service in 2018, I worked in a private school on a pay of 16k. It couldn't do anything. So I resigned after a year and six months. I rode keke in town for about 3 years...till I got tired. I put it aside. I want to learn a skill. Akwa is the worst. Life generally is hard.

I'm trynna muster this kind of energy and squeeze something out of this experience before it passes.

I've been unengaged for a month tops and believe me, it's been hell.

Long walks on flooded roads in search of just anything to keep me busy.
Rain beat me Yama Yama.
Protracted hunger.
Fell sick.
Got better.
Fell sick again.
Etc.

I peeked at a mirror the other day and couldn't recognize the man gawking at me.
I dey look am, e dey look me

It's my first time in this street...and I've never seen a thing like it.

Dear readers,
This thread have actually caught my utmost attention.
To me agriculture is the only way out.
I am yet to see a comment that has given a way out of the oppression unemployment has caused.
People must eat whether unemployed or not.
Do agriculture. Learn agric. Think agriculture.
Doesn't need your CV before it employs you.
Just be proud of it by being shameless and it will pay you bountifully.
I learnt a lot of my agriculture from nairaland and YouTube.
Talking from experience. Left my job since 2016 and am grateful for coming this far.
Urban agriculture is the best paying job so far for any unemployed person.
Look for an empty piece of land near you and plant something you know people eat daily. Eg vegetables. And in one month you have overcome the unemployment monster.
It will only cost you your labour, time, a sachet of paracetamol, a few seeds and some cheap pesticides. It's a 5x return which no employer will pay. The more you give the 5x you receive.
The market are the people around you that are ashamed of being dirty so don't be afraid of how to sell. People must eat. And once you are within the urban, you will be highly patronized cos your crops are fresh and first hand.
I do not call myself a farmer, I call myself an agriculturist. It's the new face of farming. It's the new unseen employer.
People are ashamed to farm because it looks dirty and hard but so is a gold mine, always looking dirty. While those that love the shame are cashing out.
Overlook the shame and become an Agricultural role model in months to come.
Thanks for your time.
