WHAT DA BLEEP IS HAPPENING to our country

SundayNightGist:


For your information, that post was written from start to finish by me purely using myself as a case study. Like I said at the end of the post, the things I wrote out as steps 1 to 4 are the exact things I did to get both my first and second jobs. The first job was in the second biggest company in its industry in the whole of Nigeria. Never say never bro. Keep a positive mind. I'm a living testimony.

You should not have gone through that to get a job if you are qualified,in saner climes your CV is all you need......a through put CV that can be defended

c2far:
The surest way is to find a Small sized and promising company. Show up there with skills and qualification they need. Tell them you want to work for them for free. Do an excellent job. Tell them bye after one month. They will beg you to stay and pay. It works.

But for it to work, you must be solid. And ensure you get to work early and leave late.

You get the point. Thanks for your contribution.

Ofunaofu:
.........and last but not the least

Have God-The-Father on your side

100%!

enonche85:
Thanks for sharing. Will try any of the steps 1-3. I have tried 4 but it didn't work out. They even promised to shortlist me for an interview but they didn't.

You're welcome. Keep up the positive spirit and don't stop trying.

IgiveLadiesBj:
Number 2 works

I one time sent an Instagram DM to the MD of a big coy and he offered me a 2 months contract.

If you see the way I packaged my message eeh

And d best u got is 2months?

SundayNightGist:


At least you got an interview. You could also have easily got a job but for (maybe) some personal reasons from your man. Again, nowhere in my original post did I say you should apply for a job. Applying for job, like I already pointed out, is now outdated. But thank you for sharing your personal experience. I appreciate it a lot and wish you all the best.

He or she said the interview was terminated

lexy2014:


He or she said the interview was terminated

I know bro
I was referring to him being able to secure that interview in the first place
That's commendable on his part

Thanks God bless you sir.

Well done OP,
I have done basically most of what you listed, but I still find it difficult securing placement for IT in these companies.


I want to request for help, Please, anyone that can assist in getting IT placement in any food and Beverage company around Apapa, Surulere axis, I will really appreciate

SundayNightGist:


And what if it works?
There's no harm in trying deary

I guess

I agree with you to an extent but some timeless principles works for everyone that applies them.

Examples sir
Cos one thing I have come to know in this life when it comes to the issues of job is that there are no steps....

SundayNightGist:


I agree with your first point but I also believe God can override your second point with your first point.

God favoured me before both the gateman and the receptionist the day I visited the company I was targeting without being invited. I didn't even know what the man I was going to see looked like in person (he was the MD of the company o). I was just tired of sitting at home for months after NYSC. So I went there and as I was being allowed in the man's car was driving out of the compound and I didn't even know he was the one. I couldn't cry when the receptionist told me that the man was the one in the car that just left the compound which I saw with my two korokoro eyes. Eventually, she advised me on the best time and day to get the man in the office. I thanked her, obeyed her advice and the rest as they say is history.

As much As am a Christian, and a stern believer in God's help, infact I got this far by his help, what I simply meant was the vessel he will use to bring the favour (connection)

I will use myself as one example.
In 2004 precisely I graduated from lasu in Lagos, I was already in my late 20s and also completely confused of what next steps to take.
But then I remembered at a time there was this conference organized by pastor sam adeyemi of daystar Christian center at oregun in ikeja lagos which centered around mentorship on different areas of life.
Our current vice president was one of the facilitators of the program, I learned alot and I eventually applied some of the nudgets I took away from there.

Which is voluntary service, you heard me right.
It took alot of prayers and courage to pencil down some companies name and start approaching them one after the other all around Lagos, Victoria Island precisely also with the help of a mentor i found during the program too.
The rest was history but it wasn't an easy journey though I must confess, some of the ageless principles aren't written in gold but sometimes you just have to fashion out some idea that deals with your current situation and God will crown your effort.

As am typing am currently applying for my second degree in cloud computing which is completely different from my first degree business management with alots opportunities for scholarships and learning without any restrictions and proper guidance from experts in my choosing area.

In a nut shell I agree with you that most principles are not written but an abstract and you learned through others either by sharing their experiences or reading their books.The information is available somewhere ,someone had pass through your current situation and luckily some of these experiences had been documented somewhere.
Before I forget I worked with more than three reputable IT firms on the island and Lekki axis as a solution architect before I left the country some years back and that affects my trajectory with my newly found career.
I share your sentiment anyways, time are changing and it seems things are just getting harder in naija in particular.
I pray we all find our foots someday.
