I actually felt embarrassed with the way the guy was been treated like WTF do you think you are undecided even in develop countries where we have so many intellectuals nobody is been treated this way..... the majedom should be ashamed of himself....if him jam people e go bow down

lol, you clearly don't know that the average Nigerian with a Job likely doesn't want you to have a job or know how to get a job.

This is not a country were we look out for each other.

of course, and what they know now, someone taught them, but they act like they are one kind genius that figured everything out themselves, acting all high and mighty. Lol.
Although there are still good people out there that love sharing but they are rare.

Hello folks, it's almost 2years I joined LinkedIn and I still can't see what the platform brings to the table. maybe two random Invite and consistent reminders to go premium is all I have to show for it, which kind wahAla be this? who I offend wey I no fit remember sef. please is there something I'm not doing right, please help me, over to the house.

Guy, to motivate you, I landed a dream job recently through LinkedIn, earning.....I no go talk am smiley. Someone contacted me, asked for my CV, and then forwarded it to the hiring manager. As God would have it, I completed their 11 interview rounds and got hired. Just like that. Meanwhile, I had had a presence on linkedin for around 7 years before I got this major breakthrough last year. I relocated to the country where the firm is located and so far, things have been good. Don't wanna name names. I'll be outed.

Something similar to the above story happened to me in earlier years, i.e. 2013, 2013 and 2014. All three were naija companies - rencap, chapel hill and one other one like that. These are good companies, pay like 7-8 million for the particular role. It is not uncommon; it still happens. I must let you know.

My suggestion is to retain your profile on linkedin profile. Periodically update it and make an effort to connect with and send messages to potential head-hunters/human resources managers. Tell them what you do and how you can be useful to them. If you can dig enough, try to know which team or manager is hiring at which and which company, get his name and his linkedin address and send him an email. Even me, whenever someone is proactive like this, I usually do my best to see how I can help the person. This strategy works wonders. Strategically position yourself and polish your profile, then reach out.

I will like to end by saying that you must have done a lot of work on yourself to improve your professional attractiveness. Something has to attract those people to you and make them respond to your email or even ask for your CV straightaway, although I must confess this may not always be the case as experience has shown me. When your time has come, it has come. But you still need to be visible. LinkedIn provides that visibility.

In any case, do your best, keep at it and your break will come one day. I say this because I'm a living testimony of how one can be favoured through the same linkedin.

Good luck

LinkedIn is bullshit. Checkout this phone on my tech blog

Infinix Zero 5 smartphone specifications and features

The device scoured into the Android market in style after being unveiled in Dubai with a quite eye-catching and attractive body design. The Infinix Zero 5 didn’t quite feature the popular 18:9 screen ratio but the design is nothing short of sleek with improved handling.

This prayer for me, thank you.

Do your best, improve yourself and keep at it. Something big will happen.

I'm not sure if any of you on nairaland was worse than me when I was still hustling, but things worked out eventually. It can work for anyone too.

Shame isn't it?

Someone (a female I think) after highlighting how successful she has become via the platform jokingly said it was to their lose and her gain that folks don't even know how to use the platform properly. I mean, who does that?!
