Honestly, I dunno why my fellow Nigerian youths failed to understand that job cannot make you wealthy but will only give you what to spend.
With 50k guys, you can start to grow in business like foodstuffs, clothing and jewelry.
I swear it down that if you try it you will regret ever carrying CV and building whatever LinkedIn profile for a job.
In business, you grow money not spending money.

U have a point Bro, but not always that easy with skills, business and what have you

I have been selling on nairaland for a while now, and a whole lot doesn't seem interested in my stuff despite reviews on the thread on my signature

So convincing people to patronize your business or skill is another thing
Then try farming

LinkedIn can help you expand your network in your field. You'll 'meet' people you wouldn't ordinarily meet in real life. As per getting a job through LinkedIn, it's difficult. But getting a job and/or recommendation for a job through one of your networks, it's very possible.

I asked a simple question, you ended up abusing my being and personality.

Is that how you respond to questions? With abuse?

That says a lot about who you are.

Thanks!

My first job after my final year exams was via LinkedIn.

I have gotten several interviews invites from LinkedIn.....................Early this year, I declined an offer from a global development consulting firm here in Lagos. The HR even asked me to recommend someone since I wasn't interested. The few individuals I tried to linked up with the job on LinkedIn only responded to my messages after a week grin

Like someone said earlier, you need a verifiable work experience and skills.

Mind you, I am in Admin function, but with skills across project management and data analytics.

Honestly, not everyone is meant to be wealthy. Not everyone seeks such way of life. Some would rather help in building others dreams. Not everyone is meant to be a CEO.

The main point is dignity in Labour

If you are one of the few lucky ones in Nigeria,stop talking anyhow,it is grace. That Nigeria is tough,you think na joke. One thing am sure of in this country today is that ,no any business that government policy do not frustrating. I used to see traveling abroad as wasting of time before but now I think it's one of the thing you can do to help your life if you can


Tell us those resources,maybe others can benefit now.

This is not true, have a good profile and update it regularly, be a professional in your field, you will get tired of declining offers. Speaking from experience
