First sign up on LinkedIn and look for company and HR people to follow as most Jobs are been advertised there and always do an intro about yourself.. "Your name, course of study, interest and skills and tell people you are open to learning either paid job or intern or even volunteering etc etc". There are Chances people will share your post or your followers will definitely mention your name or refer you if there's any opening.

Another way is to visit career page of Companies and create an account/sign up.(This worked for me).

Talk to people too you know and sign up for Job alerts.

You can also visit the careers section here on Nairaland.
Yeah that career page,it worked for me...I hd even forgotten about it,then I received that call for test/interview...,After almost 3yrs oo

Fasting and prayers although it hasn't worked for me
The fasting and prayer should have been done in year2.
This is one of the mistakes that made some people think prayers don't work. Don't wait till the last minute. Some people secure there jobs(through prayers and agreement with God) 3years before they get through with nysc.

Volunteer, do internships and get the necessary experience. Forget chasing that "big money job", you will get it eventually with commitment and willingness to learn.

Once you have the needed experience and skills (real applicable skills o and not theory you learned in university), you will be on a position to get the big job eventually.

Anyway it worked for me and I've turned down big job offers that I wouldn't have dreamed of even applying for 4-5 years ago.

Fasting doesn't kill.... If it's done right. Add praise to it and it is a supernatural bomb!

Anyways... Praise brings favour for jobs!

Take SAED seriously.
Some of those skills may come in handy when you need something to sustain yourself while looking for a job.

Don't be like me who slept throughout SAED lectures and never took it seriously throughout the service year. grin

baba leave that saed abeg..if nysc want corpers to take that saed seriously, they should build standard lectures halls with hands on apparatus/equipments as the case maybe. Bk then in lagos camp I decided to pitch tents with those foreign language guys. The two tutors were both speaking Chinese, one will speak and the other will interpret, they took turns to interpret.(born and bred Nigerians oh)After a while they started teaching us some words. It was interesting until something struck me, wait oh shey this ones are not deceiving us ni?? grin grin mtcheew I stood up and left in search of another saed. In school I was thought igbo by an igbo teacher and yoruba by a yoruba teacher. If dem wan teach us Chinese Chinese dem Carry Chinese person come. The only saed that represented well were the cutural related saeds, entertainment related saeds and food/hygiene related saeds.

The best advice i give young graduates like you is to volunteer for the first one year, during this period you are acquiring skills and strengthening your CV, by the time you are about to finish your volunteer experience you are already ahead of thousands of your mates who sat on their asses from day one looking for jobs without experience. You can't go wrong with that approach and many have gone on to full time employment after the experience.
Op this is the best advice here, after my NYSC. I volunteered for 18months and today I currently work in a reputable firm. Although not where I volunteered, but I got the connect from there.

So i went to school for 5 years just to learn trade after that ba�
Y didn't i just learn trade at first instead of spending so much in school..
U guys will thinking trade is easy�..
Don't know for you but i am going to use my certificate very well..
No be only trade na trader �
Joefat:
I think learn a trade or if there's business orientation. Then you're good to go. However if one is connected, but if you're not. Don't waste your time by looking for jobs all around, try to learn a trade or skill as fast as possible..

Searching for a job should actually start during your service year
1. PREPARE IN ADVANCE
√For example, you studied Accounting:
a. Search for Jobs you want to apply for and their descriptions
b. You'll realize that there are certain skill sets that are required, do you possess them?
c. You'll also see;"knowledge of .......... is also an added advantage " try as much as possible to acquire such knowledge during nysc( Google is your friend)
2. MOST IMPORTANTLY, HAVE A LINKEDIN PROFILE
LinkedIn is a Professional Platform...
you'll find virtually every company you're looking for on that space
a. Follow People in your choice field
b. Connect with HR personnel and Recruiters
C. Engage actively; like, follow, comment, share....

PS: be mindful of what you post on LinkedIn, you don't want to spoil your chances of being employed




Cheers

Hello everyone, I'm wondering, what is the best process for an NYSC Corper to secure an accommodation immediately after Nysc without having to struggle with jumping from one desperate interview to another?

Comments and experiences are very welcomed please.

Also, kindly I want to discourage much talks of starting a business, that's not what this thread is about. Thank you.

The best way to secure employment after NYSC is getting and developing a skill from 200 level university days. The next best time is during your NYSC and if you have finished NYSC the best time to get a skill is now.

The present education system we use was designed for the industrial Revolution, there were too many positions needing manpower so they decided to mass produce manpower. But now we have few positions and too many manpower, which naturally will attract competition. To be on top of the employment food chain you need to ask yourself some very crucial question, " what can I do for the organisation that I would like to work with? How well can I do it?". If your answer is nothing, there lies the key to your solution you need to be able to do so.

Education of today is not vested on any institution, it has become the sole responsibility of all individuals to educate themselves and develop their skills.

Get a skill the market needs you get a job.
