Diary Of A Jobless But Not Hopeless Job Seeker by euchaaria: 9:10am On Aug 29, 2016
Good morning Nairalanders..
This is my thread on my hopeful job seeking exploits.

14/7/2014 was the time I graduated from school.
Like i was the happiest person on earth..
2'1 upper in the department of economics, it was something to be proud of, as most of you know how economics is hard embarassed
A year after my Nysc I got back home feeling like a boss, as I thought that my female gender will help me get a job, but how wrong I was embarassed

This is the 14 company that has turned me down o,and my state now is appalling..
I have been scammed by Gnld companies uncountable times..

As I am here, I broker than a stock broker, so down emotionally, spiritually and socially (have turned an introvert by force)

Mbok, I need a job o, God knows I need it so badly.. embarassed

At least I'm proud I am not one of those ladies that sell their bodies for vanity..
So help me God cry

i am in the same shoes with you and also have a similar case with you. I graduated the same time as your's mine is b.sc sociology. I have lost count on the number of job applications i applied online and submitted in person still no invite. I even submitted my cv's to schools too still no invite. Am not giving up yet will keep on trying till when God will do it. As long as there's life there's hope.

That made me smile. But I feel for you though.

It is well. Take advantage of the disappointments. Build yourself again.

By the way, am also jobless too but I still try to get my hands on anything also, just to engage myself

Don't lose hope abeg. If you are about to lose hope, pm me. I can borrow you small hope from my own. grin

Sincerely,i feel for you.Like i advise my friends,i will also encourage you to start small.It really doesn't mean underrating or downgrading one's self.I don't really know if you are in the category of young graduates who cant begin with a 40k job but can decide to wait for several years before they can get a 100k job.Most organisations wont ask you how much you earned in your previous place of work,rather,they are more interested in how many years you've worked after school.I am available to give more tips.Thanks

The only difference between me and you is gender, check my profile to testify. I hope after adversity comes ease.

I feel your pains sis and also saw the thread you created about job interview. Well, things like that happen and you shouldn't just be discouraged. Keep on pressing and be persistence. So many people will tell you the same story of job. I have my fair share of experience in it too. Lost my job last year and had to stay without a job for almost a year without one, but eventually my persistence paid off after attending countless interviews and test, i eventually secured a nice one early this year.

So many Nairalanders with such stories as yours, be persistent, follow Debbi here on Nairaland and other good hearted fellows who post real jobs and the light will shine on you.

God will pick our calls before this month ends! Can i hear a loud Amen!!!!!
Peace!!!

That is very sympatetic, rejected, dejected fraustrated and painful. What a pity? But I believe you will soon be accepted in where you have been rejected. Like one of the advice given to you by someone, that you should use your potential not your credential. Is a very through talk that you have to adhere to because every body cannot be a government worker it doesn't matter the kind of certificate you have you can do somthing different apart from your proffession. I can be of help. I can introduce you to a business that you can start with little money of #3,200 and within a year, you will start counting millions. Sound impossible right? But very possible. Quote me and drop your whatsapp contact for easy communication and I will get back to you with details of this business and how it works. Get it very well please I will not have anything to do with your money than to show you how u will go about it, and guide you through untill you get to the top.
No body is a failure until the day he stops trying so you have to continue trying anything until you become an achiever.

Haven't posted on NL for a while. Your thread drew me out.
I finished NYSC in February 2009. At about May 2009 I had sent over 200 email applications and received only one reply - an automated response!
Don't worry, I'm not wishing you the same lot :-)
My 2 cents:
1. Visit justjobsng.com and as often as possible
2. Google companies within your desired industry and visit with hard copies of your resume.
3. Get on LinkedIn, build your profile and join networks within and adjacent to your desired industry. Start by looking for your University Alumni and sending them connection requests, then HR managers across related industries.
4. Offer to volunteer - ask for 'internships'. That is, you need to build experience and this might require doing so without pay or being paid just enough to cover your transport.
5. Look for courses on alison.com. They're all free.
6. Invest in building expert level proficiency in Microsoft Excel. Use youtube, read the help file, look for free training online - this skill is in demand and might earn you a foot in the door.
7. Please don't give up (or give in to the people that seek to exploit ladies)

Cheers.

You can also ask for the help of an HR professional to help revamp your Resume or you surf the Internet on how to go about that.
Please make Gmat your friend as you'd find it handy if called for aptitude test. Also try to keep yourself abreast of vital information about the industry you desire to be part of.

God will give you a cause to smile soon I believe. #BeEncouraged
