I concluded my service two month ago,since then i have forwarded over 50 CVS to intending employers and yet i have only been called upon once.I have this believe its due to the proximity of mine location(address) to the job location that is the challenge.Expert in the house can u please shed more light on these. I am a geophysicist and i have concluded mine CCNA certification programme. please mod assist me in your own way.

to be sincere it does. i once had a friend who was residing around iyana ipaja in Lagos. she kept on sending cvs and none called her for interview.i asked her to change her address on the cv to that of mine since i reside on the island. voila, she started getting invites and eventually landed the job. i will advise u find a relative on the island and use their address. when u get the job, there is a way around it. But pls if u reside in Ikorodu and use island address on ur cv and get d job, u are probably shooting urself..cos the stress will tell on u. I wish u d best
