�, funny but the truth

Olumaeme:
Recommendation is just one of the ways of getting jobs.

I have never gotten a job through recommendation in my life. All the job I have gotten was through CV application and this is the second NGO I am working. My friends too got jobs by application without knowing anyone. Me I graduated with third class served and I got a job immediately in Abuja. I receive offers for every 5 out of 7 interviews I have done . I have also been approached by recruiters on LinkedIn.

I have even noticed that, not that there are no jobs but the quality of graduates are very poor. I have been part of interviews and I just wonder why lots are not getting jobs. Some have very poor CV, no achievement, they basically copy and paste the job responsibilities verbatim, some are unprofessional they just attach CV without a small body to convince the recruiter why they should open that attachment, some snap and attach cv to email, some with ridiculous email addresses; Sexygirl247foru@gmail .com, some have very poor communication skills, some don't know how to use basic IT software and equipment. Imagine, how can you be looking for a job in 2023 and you cant use excel? Dey Play, just dey play.

These are just a few links to get you started. They are focused on optimizing your LinkedIn profile and tips on beating the ATS software many recruiters use these days.

For your CV, I suggest perfecting your LinkedIn profile then downloading your profile as a CV ( you will find that feature under your profile). That way you have a generic CV you can tailor to specific jobs when applying for them.

Finally, you can pay for LinkedIn optimisation and a CV review. Cost can run from between NGN 25 - 75k depending on what exact service you're paying for and how skilled the person is. This is optional though. The links above can help you achieve the same result if their advice is carefully followed.

Thank you so much

Throw away this mentality completely...please
I had this same mentality during my NYSC days, until I met someone on NL here that exposed me to the right information

People land jobs based on merit, well
I did and I still am...worked in 5 major organizations so far, currently working with one abroad atm...and all has been on merit, no connect, no referrals whatsoever

For entry level jobs,
What did you finish with?
you are in a good space if you finished with 2:1 and above because there are tons of entry level jobs with no experience requirements out there.
You just need to prepare for those technical tests and interviews like your life depends on it -Gmat/SHL/Aptitude practice tests were my bible at the time

If you didnt finish with 2:1 and above,
now is the time to dig into sellable and marketable skills: front end, back-end, digital marketing, cybersecurity, etc
6-9months of diligently acquiring any of these skill sets will land you internship job opportunities (research Fintechs in Nigeria) and then you can take it from there

If you have the right skills/information, getting a Job will be the least of your issue
Always remember, looking for JOB is a JOB in itself....don't sit and wait for anybody; WAKE UP and put in the work; you will be glad you did

thanks for This Bro, I know I am always ye cause of my problem, the op mentality is what is keeping me till date,.. please can you help me to re-arrange my CV for me

Everybody has sweet and reasonable excuses but achievers just find a way around those excuses. Regardless. when you are trully willing and ready, you will find a way. coming for an interview doesn't mean relocating. you can beg for virtuals, HR are humans. There are churches, there are cheap motels, UNtil you get rid of your expectancy on people, you will just keep getting disappointed. Take responsibility man, Nobody owes you anything. Trust God and Trust your timing. everything will just fall in place. Thanks for understanding too. my best wishes bro

thanks bro. Wrong mentality has kept me till date without tangible Job

Most of the jobs were via CV
You need to state what you have done and what you can do to attract attention, it must stand out

Avoid even the slightest spelling errors

Put your work experience before your academics.
Your CV is okay for entry level.
Na connection you need.
Also get a recent skill (if you can) to keep your cv fresh.
You can add more details of your experience to your last work done.

Put your key achievements immediately after your work experiences. Did you do NYSC?

Apart from that your cv is good for your profession.
