please nairalanders i am losing my senses and entering into depression as the day goes by.

I am a young lawyer, i came out with a 2.1 in my Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) and 2.1 from the Nigerian Law School.

I really worked my ass out in school to get good grades but uptill now no job. I have applied to several law firms, companies, federal institutions but no headway.

They keep on saying no vacancy, i guess the Nigerian factor of knowing somebody playing out. I dont have any god father to help me.

I really need your help. i am based in Lagos but if i see a good offer in Abuja i dont mind relocating.

I am versatile and willing to work in a law firm, bank, company, NGO or any place a lawyer can work.
Thanks and God bless.

Look for a normal job. As a graduate with 2,1 your chances are great, only try applying for a legal inclined job months later after holding down the previous job

You have done well for yourself. You can now take any of the below options.

1. Look out for good schools in Lagos. There are plenty. Apply to teach English/Literature/Civic, etc. Pay? 30 - 60k, depending on location in Lagos. You can hold this down while you keep scouting.

2. Are you below 26? Try any of the Big 4. PWC, KPMG, EY, etc. I know a few lawyers in the tax practice of most Big 4 firms.

3. Knock on doors of every law firms you can find, and offer your services for free to gain experience. Do this if you still have funds to sustain yourself...

Choice is yours. Cheers...
