Sashafm me thinks u started looking out for jobs very late. You should have started from the first day u resumed in ur PPA! Srong advise to corpers out thr, please begin right now to apply for jobs, so u won't experience frustrations and dissapointments after NYSC. No serious company will reject u just cos ur still serving. I'm a living testimony!!! |

As long as the Nigerian youth believe it is God that gives employment, the unemployed youth in Nigeria will swell in number. Before you attack me, I am not in anyway against religion and people of faith but the reality is we need to demand more from our stupid politicians . Not allowing them polarize us into PDP and APC minions. Check countries with low unemployment, the economy of the country is diverse and growing. The major employers in Nigeria are Dangote, oil firms, Banks and say the government. How many graduates can these companies employ in a year? Let's get off our knees and demand real change from our corrupt and inept politicians. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Lol. Right. Tried that angle some years back in Lagos. Walked the whole ikeja-ogba axis, advanced to ilupeju and obanikoro, then scanned VI all within a week on foot...nobody advised me before I born again. Fruitless effort. As in FRUITLESS in caps. 8 Likes |

Sashafm: Lol. I like your spirit though but welcome to labour market dear. I pray may God favour you within the shortest period to secure your dream job but don't rely on getting job to relief your financial burden if you have capital to kick off a business. 1 Like |

247notire: You are very correct. In my days, i remember writing First Bank (at Unilag Multi Purpose hall), Nigeria Breweries(at Law Sch, V/I) and Business Day (at The Palms) tests while i was still serving. Applicants should seriously learn to start early, it doesn't guarantee getting a job early, but it gives you a kind of orientation. 2 Likes |

Hmmm, I secured a job as an office support staff (office assistance) with a vehicle tracking company before going for my NYSC (2014/2015 Batch B). God helped me to solve a big problem in the company and I was promised a place after my service. Of a truth, the company fulfilled her promise and I'm now a data analyst. I never had any idea concerning vehicle tracking or data analysis but I know it was God's doing. Just submit your request to God your desired job will reach you, but for the main time, engage yourself in any legal and profitable venture. 1 Like |

In Lai Mohammed voice Unemployment means Buhari is working. Anyway, there are a whole lot of job begging for applicants online, especially international job, but it is mostly available for a researcher and someone that have written papers(published online). For example on researchgate, you see a whole lot of job offers for graduates, Lecturers and professors to work oversea but you must have written a paper to register on the site or you have your alma-mata email for registration. |

@OP I feel your disappointment. you should not be desperate to land a job. if you have wanted to start working immediately after service, this should not be the best time to submit your cv, you should have applied to openings four months before the end of your service. Other corp members should take this advise because no firm will accept your cv and immediately call for interview. just be patient and be submitting your cv anywhere and don't put your mind on them. leave your line open and prepare because they will call when they feel like |

Seriously? You left lagos to Abuja in search of Job?! What about those numerous firms that colour Lagos?~ in fact, most firms in Abuja has their head office in lagos. Pls go back to your drawing board, re-strategize, and try again(in a better way) . Try LinkedIn, network and send purposeful mail to HRs as well as people who work in the industry you wanna work in. Pls don't give up! someone once said: "the worst precedes the best!" You may wanna explore job sites too. Jarushub.com can be helpful. Am sure good news await you. All the best! 1 Like |

Woman! your approach will only work for small firms. Big organisations have formal structure for recruitment. My candid advice is/are 1. save your money for Internet and phone calls, you will need to be online and catch information on-the-go. 2. Save your time and effort to prep for GMAT style aptitudes. i.e. SHL, Assessment day, GRE, GMAC formats. 3. Save your suit and heels for PwC interview. 4. Refer to (2) above, your prep should be at 90% level. Top-rated companies are competitive and do NOT use cut-off points, they use percentiles. i.e. if they plan to interview 200 candidates, only the best 200 candidates are invited. The top 200 candidates can fall within 90% and 100% test scores. Someone with 89% did very well but MIGHT not get invited. Best of Luck 3 Likes 1 Share |

Your plight does not sound unfamiliar. Also armed with 2-1 from Ife, I thought the world would be on standing ovation for me as I was passing out... I was not thinking straight. After four years of being underemployed, I started Online Network Marketing. With it I don't have to worry about the employment that may never surface. Online Network Marketing pays.

I accept d fact dat my xperience as a nigerian youth is notin compared to most members on NL, but. I think with the daily trending news on unemploymnt, we are suposed 2b taking precautions b4 it gets to us... Mr op,I guess nw u knw dat graduating in ur "best university" in nig. Doesn't guarantee ur working status rather having a plan B would av help u. Be ur own Boss... Nonetheless, I suggest u keep trying,and u will surely have a story to tell in future. |
