it's not a waste of time but if you rely on it and not learn or hustle while seeking, it might be. 38 Likes 2 Shares |

No, it isn't. The worst outcome will be rejection. A good outcome will be landing a job with a basic wage. A better outcome will be having a job you hate with a good salary. The best outcome will be starting your dream job with a fat salary. If you don't apply for a job, your only outcome will be continuous unemployment. 109 Likes 11 Shares |

LEARN MULTIPLE SKILLS, ON THE SIDE KEEP APPLYING. STRIVE TO BE THE BOSS OF YOURSELF EVENTUALLY OR ELSE YOU DONT HAVE PLANS TO BE RICH AND SUCCESSFUL. MAKE THAT YOUR END GOAL. BUT IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH EARNING PEANUTS FOR DONKEY YEARS, STICK TO YOUR JOB WHEN YOU EVENTUALLY GET ONE NO CAP, BUT CURRENTLY I CANT EVEN WORK IN A COMPANY FOR 500K MONTHLY. ITS MEAGRE. I AM MY BOSS NOW. HALLELUJAH!! 7 Likes |

TheBTCinvestor:Even the Private Sector now, na Connect. If you don't plan for your children in the current Nigeria, they may grow up hating you. Education no dey work for 9ja again. Starting up a side hustle is not only for second source of income, it's to give your offsprings a venture to learn and grow in. That way, their objectives would no longer be looking for nonexistent jobs, it will be learning and expanding their parent's business/venture.

No,It's not. What people need to understand is that looking for job is a job on its own and there is a method to it. Your CV and cover letter should be well drafted. Has it been reviewed properly (typos, structure, outline), have you tailored your CV to the job description you are applying for? Personally, for every job I apply for, I always review and update my CV If you have not been getting called for interviews or job assessment, and your grades and job experience match the job description, maybe its time to look inwards. 4 Likes |
