It was a Sunday morning in the year 2017. I was frustrated and tired of job search. Although I was working with a federal government agency before until I was set up and I lost that job. That Sunday morning I don't even have data on my phone. I was using my wife's phone to browse the internet. I came across this advert on Nairaland and I applied. I was called for interview and I passed. I am still in that job and it was a blessing 8 Likes |

Got my current job through LinkedIn. The former one was also through LinkedIn. You get to a point in your career that HRs start reaching out to you if you are good at what you do. One of the major advices I share with youngsters who care to listen is be humble enough to start small if that's all you have for a start. The key thing is just ensure you have a plan and be intentional in fulfilling your plans. My first job was 27K, I accepted it anyway and did it for only 3 months before I got a good offer from a multinational company. Since then I've switched across 3 different multinationals. If the only opportunity that is available is a small one, start anyway, learn as much you as you can, build your network, improve on your profile and then the rest will unfold like magic 14 Likes 1 Share |

Me as a student I have been looking for menial jobs within the town I reside to support myself but unfortunately, i couldn't get any, I really hate this life I'm always sad and depressed as a student no help coming from anyone...!!! The only typical method i have adopted in relieving this stress and grief was to think about death. Who knows I might just end it all one day, nothing interest me again not even my education everything's just stupid ![]() |

Submitted application to the hotel as a receptionist (was almost sure i would get the job) but they saw my cv, made me manager. The 2nd job (software engineer) is thru a guest that came to lodge, seeing the guy i knew immediately he is software engineer, checked him out on linkedin, i turned out to be correct, b4 he checked out, i approached him, pitched myself to him, he gave me his manager's contact, talked to him, gave me a task ( a shopping cart using react, typescript, tailwind), passed. He gave me a job as a react frontend engineer. Today is my payday, first time im earning from coding after almost 4 years of grinding. Alhamdulillahi...Never give up, Always tell pple what you do. 41 Likes 3 Shares |

I was in the house fasting and praying with TB Joshua anointing water when a man I met thrice in a public transport called me to come and see him in his office. The few times we met I was able to familiarize myself with him by behaving well. Those journey actually took almost the whole day because of the distance. Coincidentally we met about thrice on those journeys and we became familiar. I went to his office and he told me to write an application. After the application, I got my appointment letter within four days. It was a Federal Government Agency. What happened was an uncommon miracle At times I feel pity for those young ones insulting elders carelessly. 22 Likes 1 Share |

Paramount01:No much stress bro. You must have a career path e.g Business Development Arrange your CV and Profile to focus on Business Development/Sales Follow companies and Mostly HRs on linkedin You can find HRs by searching for companies and people who worked there. Turn on job notifications on Business Development/Sales on companies pages Add prayers and fasting because some jobs that will change your life will be posted few minutes and removed after like 2days or Devil no go just allow you login the day they posted the job or You wont just see the post. Dis are steps i followed..I dey get job invites weller but most the pays are not good. Why i was doing the 72k job was because i dont enter transport. 6 Likes |

I got my first post NYSC job which is my current job through intentional networking. I finished NYSC last year October 2022 but had the offer letter from a multi-national by September 2022. Here is my story: I was intentional about saving my NYSC allowance from October 2021. My background is petroleum engineering. Usually, there is this annual oil and gas conference that holds in Eko hotel, Lagos every August. I had long decided that I would attend the conference and leverage on networking to better my options. My savings paid for the conference registration, hotel accommodation close to Eko hotel, feeding, transportation and miscellaneous expenses. This weeklong conference gulped about 400k from me. I saved up 300k from NYSC (Nov. 2021 - July 2022) and made up the difference from home lessons pay. At the conference, I presented 2 technical papers and also networked with captains of industries. My take-home were two job offers; some MDs were impressed that I came as NYSC guy and gave me cash gifts. Infact, I recouped about 160k before coming back from Lagos. I chose one that allowed working from home. I currently work from my base in PH. Morale Lesson: If you wash your hands well, you will dine with kings 25 Likes |

As i see say the 50k wey dem dey give me no fit carry me reach bus stop , i enter street. Ever since , i aint looked back. Enter street go start business, boss. Leave this modern slavery thing called job. Use your brain and social media please. Tech (Digital Marketing) , combine it with Buying and selling. Learn how to run facebook and instagram ads PROFESSIONALLY. I'm a 5 star salesman, paid advertising newbie , that's the skill you need to master now in Nigeria to make money daily. I can sell water to a well... If you are in Lagos or any of the cosmopolitan cities, you need some tools. - Phone , internet , Laptop (not necessary) , facebook, instagram page, twitter, jumia, konga, facebook maeketplace, etc. - go and learn how to run ads. - know how to take good pictures. - use a good logistics company for deliveries. Enter street, look for big time importers, negotiate with them. Tell them you will bring customers and sell thier products very fast. One of the hot products i started out with and grew it to a 6 figure business > > https://www.nairaland.com/7403742/zealot-s67-wireless-speaker-60w Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them sales, make a lot of money. Not just money... You will build your confidence. Your influence will grow, and... You’ll attract more opportunities to yourself. You need to start operating smartly. Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES. Thank me later when you hit your first M 8 Likes 2 Shares |
