Hi ,nairaland family ,I am really depressed and saddened by things happening to me ,I had to bring it on here so I do not,end up harming myself and doing what I am not expected to do.I am a graduate of English, and I am ready to work but no work is forth coming and I am giving up,I was invited to come to Lagos (Ikorodu )precisely by a friend,packed all my things and came here ,but since I came he has been giving me attitude and most times ,it is one woman after the other that comes ,every night I sleep on the floor, praying that something will come up and I will leave for good but I have not been lucky with the Job ,I want to leave because most times I spend all I have on food and I am exhausted, he is always saying he does not have money but changes girls like wrapper .I want to leave and please if anyone can help me with a job ,I will be grateful ,I can't go back home because ,i am way older than going back home now ,so I have to start a life no matter how small it is .This is my predicament now ,I virtually watch plate daily and sleep on the floor .Feel so sad and depressed right now,to crown it all ,he is giving me attitude, eats out and won't bother to ask me if I have eaten.

At least you have a floor to sleep on in a room at night, homelessness can distabilize one's mental well-being. Manage where you are, until you get your footing.

You have a degree in English, look for tutorial centres around you and see the possibility of teaching those preparing for SSCE and JAMB.

You can go solo by also looking into identifying S.S.3 students around you, talk to their parents that you can coach them to do better in English language in the upcoming May/June exams. If you can get about 3 students to teach at the same time and teach them at least twice a week....if you are good with your teaching style, those parents will refer other parents.

Hmmmm....it is well.

Try to make a list of all the eatery/food chains around you and send them all a copy of your CV as well as deliberately follow their job portals for vacancies. Theirs mostly come with accommodation and meals. It's always a good start for fresh graduates.

Also, there are is a job alert group on telegram that posts jobs daily for fresh graduates, try to search and join it.

Furthermore, you need to be employable. Try to improve yourself while waiting....for example, you studied English but wrote like a science student. There are soft skills you could get for free on YouTub. The little things....

Lastly, be grateful your friend is housing you and stop being embittered by his lifestyle. It's his house, his life, his pocket, his girls. Just be of good countenance while searching for God's grace.

May God in His infinite mercy bless your hustle. Cheers.

Thanks for your advice ,his sister came today so I will be leaving the house ,he told me they need space .
