Congratulations to you, bro, for finally landing yourself a job. Never forget the the lessons you learnt in those trying times and set out everyday to be the best that you can be. Never mind what you are getting in salary at the moment, as nothing good in life comes so easily. As long as you remain focused, time will fly and you will only get better. Cheers!!!

But your university education, at least at the bachelor of arts level, was never intended to land you a job.
1. It was intended to make you a more complete thinker.
2. It was intended to teach you how to absorb complex information and make reasoned arguments.
3. It was, quite simply, intended to teach you how to learn.
Those are skills that you’ll use in any field of work.

Thank u for this thread, you have said it all.

If your shoes are not like these, you've not started job search yet...keep on trying, one day you will tell a story

How Long Does Success Take?
Here is an extract from HOW LONG DOES SUCCESS TAKE by Dr.Mani. It is hoped that you will find the motivation to look beyond your present circumstances and purse your goals, life ambition.

“In real life, I’m a heart surgeon treating children born with heart defects. They’ve taught me a lot, these ‘Little Wonders’. Life dealt them a bad hand. Many won’t see their tenth birthday, or fifth – or even their first. Unless they have major surgery.

Their lives are on hold, under threat… all the time. But they smile. Laugh. Play. And LIVE. They are survivors. Warriors in the battle of Life. And winners! They inspire me.

What inspires you? Why do you do what you do? What purpose drives you to achieve more, get better, keep on persisting?
Identify it. Tap into the power of it. Use it to inspire your thoughts and deeds… to fuel your success.

Choose Success

Imagine driving in a car to a place you want to go, and the road gets bumpy. What do you do?

You could stop, get out of the car, and curse your bad luck
You could turn your car around and go back to the smooth, quiet road to nowhere Or…
You could keep going on, determined to get where you’re going – and knowing things will get better when you reach there.
Not just keep going, but actually ENJOY the ride. And even be thankful that you’ve got a car, and that you know the way!”

I have read thru the topics. Things are not as bad as it seems. A lot of people are so pessimistic that they already have this bad attitude. There are many problems with job seekers. Here I will try and analyse some. Before I go on, please do NOT [/b]misunderstand me. I am not saying the jobs are plentiful, but the main problem in most cases is that job seekers are inadequate in the most basic things: writing good resumes and horrible preparation to interview.
Resume Writing: When you see what applicants put together as resume, you will be embarrased. The purpose of resume is to sell yourself as a product. The resume they put together tells employer [b]NOT to call them for interview. Same goes for cover letter. If you can't get these things straight, the possibility of being called for interview is virtually zero.
While reading this thread, I remembered an old thread and I had to go and dig it out. Please take your time to read the thread, from beginning, you will be doing yourself a lot of good, and it is very funny, though I am not talking about the entertainment value. Here is the link to it:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-129847.64.html

The above link is the page 3 of it and I will quote, for your convenience, what somebody wrote (she should know because she is in human resources department

Whilst reading all the posts here, I couldn't help but laugh and feel horrified at the same time.

The other day, someone told me what a multinational company MD said about Nigerian graduates and I honestly couldn't help but agree. He said the jobs are there that in fact they really need people seriously in their firm but they just couldn't get capable people to fill in the positions. (Emphasis mine)I agree with him because:

1. I have had experience with recruiting and its really really tough getting someone with adequate capabilities
2. Going by the experiences highlighted so far, its easy to see why.

So, here's my own two naira worth of advice to you interviewees:

1. When you are attending any interview, read up as much as you can about the organisation, don't wait until you are called a day before the interview, do this as soon as you send out your cv, if you are really serious. You ask how many companies you want to study on? Well, you don't have to study on any of them, just seek information on them (almost any serious organisation has a website), print out a page or so on the company and keep it, then keep it until a day or two before your interview. When I was going for my interview, I found some bit of information about the organisation in a magazine and i just wrote it down and filed it away, such that at the interview, i appeared to know something about the company. It always amazes me when I ask interviewees who the MD of the company they want to enter is and they have absolutely no idea. It tells me they are not serious. And more than likely I would not pencil them down for the next level.

People simply need to sit up and get things going. A lot of people feel they cannot get jobs because they don't know anybofy. That is not always true. Some people are simply inadequate. Read through some of the horrible sentence some people emit out. Here is what people should do.

1. Learn how to write a first-grade resume. The internet is a very good place to make reasearch with minimum effort. Nairaland is a great place to become more knowledgeable. Here are some articles about writing good resume and cover letter
