Hey nairalanders, I am trying to understand how most people in Nigeria got their jobs. My cousin told me that the only way to get a job in Nigeria is through connection, but I find it hard to believe. Although the last three interview and the only Nigerian job i've had so far has been through a connection. Is applying for jobs any other way pointless ? According to a post online this are the stats I see for American employed Source of New Job Networking ------------------41% Internet Job Board------------------ 25% Agency/Search firm------------------11% Direct Approach ------------------ 8% Online Network (2010) ------------------ 4% Advertisement ------------------ 2% Other ------------------10% I would like to make a survey based on these variable. So please answer in this format a readable format. For example, if you got your third most recent job through networking (eg through a friend or colleague) , second through an internet job board (eg Jobberman, ngcareers,etc), first through online network (eg Linkedin, Facebook) 3rd- Networking 2nd- Internet Job Board 1st- Online Network I would post the stats once I get enough responses. This information would be valuable in assisting job seekers to understand how to prioritize their job search method. If only 2 % get their jobs online and the remaining get it through networking. A job seeker would understand that they should spend the bulk of their time dedicated to securing a job but building and enhancing their network. Once you've responded please share to others so I can get as much input as possible to collate the data. |

1st Job - Advert 2nd Job - Advert. My current job has a going-concern so I don't anticipate leaving soon for a third. I didn't have to know anyone to get the jobs I've had so far. Online application works. |
