Job Seekers Should Stop Doing These Things by Offerservice: 2:35pm On Nov 17, 2021 |
There are four things job seekers should stop doing. It is understandable that job seekers are most times stressed out and overly anxious. But it is not OK when they do things that will break or hinder their job opportunity. This article will share some of those things that jobseekers do unconsciously that can hinder them from landing a job. Here are the four things job seekers should stop doing; 1. Spending all that time tweaking your visionary. 2. Over-explaining your background. 3. Questioning how to address your interviewer. 4. Wondering when and how often to follow up on an interview. Right ways to handle these things; 1. Instead of spending all that time tweaking your visionary, network wisely and meet people. 2. Instead of over-explaining your background, focus on the impact you can bring to the company. 3. Instead of questioning how to address your interviewer, go with what feels right. E.g., Mr. Fred 4. Instead of spending so much time wondering when and how often to follow up on an interview, send a thank you message and wait until after a week have passed to follow up again. Conclusion: In a nutshell, job seekers should not feel overwhelm and start seeming desperate. Desperation will only do more harm than good. We understand that job hunting is inevitably stressful but it does not have to be a nightmare. If you feel overwhelmed, take a step back, I see what you might be doing wrong. Good luck on your job search!. 6 Likes 2 Shares

Looking for job in Nigeria is a job itself and as a matter of fact, it has it own job description. If you don’t follow the manual in details, you might not get the end result. But at the end of the day, some six figure salary ain’t nothing in this buhari era. Make I sha gather small change, jakpa from this shithole ni loxesav: Yen yen yen yen, as if one will create job out of tiny air.... everything requires money bro 17 Likes 2 Shares |

As far as I'm concerned this piece is useless cos there are no jobs out there. And nor be you go explain to job seekers how them go behave. Hell ya, 4 years plus one extra year in the university, nah street I dey so, hustling and bustling to bring food to the table. Even Buhari say there are no jobs for scholars gan, my niggarr level up.

lol obviously OP never find work for lagos before! u will end up tweaking that engineering based CV into fitting a medical role or theartre act spec once u see a vanacy for such position with an oil and gas company , Big4 Auditing/Consultancy or Banks / I.T firms. what i advise job seekers to do is to learn the act of scaling any vacany / opening.... when u see a vacant position advertised, scale the minimum requirements into aggregates of 10 portions once you CV can address 6 / 10 of the scaled portions, my brother my sister TWEAK the hell outa that CV to match up 10/10 N.B; TWEAKING and outright lies aint the same thing ![]() 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Most importantly,be careful of what you post on all your social media platforms. What you posted 3years or more can come and hunt you in your current job. BE CAREFUL OF YOUR POST 1 Like 1 Share |

Awon motivational Nigeria is a muti-ethnic and religious country.Everybody want to help their immediate family and ethnic nationals without recourse to laid down rules and merit.Ask Buhari why only the north takes juicy positions under his rulership. |
