i tot admission into d university was hard nt knowing it was job hunt all thanks to the foolish mentality i had, i hv a strong 2.1 nd also Ican am an hotcake na. omo by d time i begin fail shl/gmat tests, messing up at interviews. eye begin clear. u go dey see ur padis pic on facebook nd bbm inside office dey fresh. and be lik am i cursed what is wrong with me etc. u will get gmail notifications and open d damn mail and see stuffs like 'regret, we wish u d very best, after carefully review u will not be moving to d nxt stage'.
my broda, it is not funny oo, d last one got to me big time!!, d 1st phase was a 5 man panel of interviewers, I am sure I did my best and I was called for d 2nd phase of interview and d only question I was asked was if I won't leave if I got a beta offer else where, I told them I won't. At d end I still didn't get d job. I was so pained that I decide not to look a job any more but to learn a skill. D most annoying part is Dat I applied as an intern not even d main thing, my fear if I can't get an intern position in 2 month how long will it take to get a real job? As a dude with so much preference of education I don't even know what skill to learn.

7 Ways to Stay Motivated When You’re Looking for a Job

The job search can be frustrating and draining, but here's how to keep your spirits up and boost your chances of getting hired

The ability to get — and stay — motivated during a job hunt is one of the most critical skills for anyone looking for work. This is especially true today, when it takes considerably more time and energy to find employment than it did a decade ago.

1. Be realistic about the job-search time frame.
 
Brace yourself for the inevitable speed bumps of a job search. For example, don’t expect to land an interview within a week or two of starting your hunt.

2. Believe in yourself.
 
Like a successful salesperson, you must believe that what you’re selling has value. When looking for a job, you're essentially selling yourself and your experience.

3. Take a project-management approach.
 
Break down the search process into a series of goals, spread out over time. For example, give yourself one week to draft a resume & cover letter. Other suggested milestones:

Within one month: Network face to face with 15 to 20 people who could help you find work.
 
Within three months: Secure three job interviews...etc


4. Evaluate your progress.
 
Take time out once a week to assess how your job search is going.

Ask yourself: What have I done? What haven’t I done? What’s working? What isn’t?


5. Keep your body, mind and soul healthy.
 
How you take care of yourself while job hunting can have a huge impact on your productivity in finding work. Make sure you eat well, exercise regularly and get enough sleep.

6. Learn how to handle rejection.
 
Getting turned down by prospective employers is tough.
The way to handle rejection is to look at it the way a successful salesperson does: It's a numbers game where every “no” gets you one step closer to the “yes” you need.

7. Take time off.
 
Five hours of job hunting a day is draining. So step back from time to time to avoid burning out.
And try not to look for a job on weekends. That’s the time to enjoy yourself and to relax with the people you care most about.
