MISTAKES JOB SEEKERS MAKE
• Many of them are still on the streets because they are looking for jobs that will pay salaries that are commensurate with their paper qualifications. Get that small job that you think is offering you what you termed “little pay”, it may be your route to securing mouth-watering offers. You never can tell.

I know of a guy in 1986 who read Business Administration and couldn’t hold down a job. I told him to try out a job in a company as a clerk but he won’t be paid as a graduate. And that while on the job he should empower himself with some computer programmes. He compiled. In just three months, the person in charge of Business Administration in the company was seen to be performing below expectation. The guy came as a good replacement. So that one lost his job, he got it.
• Big paper qualifications without a reasonable intelligent Quotient (IQ). Even though they have made first class or second class upper in their disciplines, they haven’t seen the necessity of acquiring other skills like kin computer for example which may be beneficial as they are still hunting for jobs. There will always be a time to put it into use.
• Get your CV or Resume right. There are many job hunters who only parody what others have scribbled in theirs. Don’t claim the skills you have not acquired or else you’ll be apprehensive or unduly anxious even before the call for an interview. It’s just natural since you have claimed what you don’t possess and once you are discovered, no hesitation before you re fired.
