True! Self-employment is the key!!

Youths need to start thinking outside the box!!!

tgmservice:
When I mean online search I don't mean applying directly thru the company websites I mean using online portals like naji, ng careers, 24careers, jobrapido and the rest. These are the mistake some of our youths make they solely depend on this portals for employment. Now am going to give u 5 good reasons why dat strategy is just a time waster.

1) The odds are against you
. When you apply for a job position no matter how specific it is, with d rate of unemployment in d country many other people apply also. For that position u fill is kind of hidden many other people not less than 1000 has also applied u can put ur chances of getting that job at 0.25% will u what to bet on that kind of odd. Even the job sites are fighting for odds against each other gone are d days where we had very few reliable sites lik jobberman, but nw they are everyway copying each other job posts. Relying on a portal for job is like relying on a blog for accurate news.


2)Some jobs posts are outdated
Most job sites don't pull down a job post immediately even when the job has been taken There is also a gud chance that job post u are aplying for might be outdated some portals fail to update their job post or intentionally leave them to drive more traffic to their sites even after the position might have been taken.


3) Most of the companies are fake
We hav all experienced this first hand ( d scam mails ) no need to talk more on this.


4) Some of the companies are not really recruiting
Some of the companies on job portals just fill job post just to follow NLC regulations of providing employment or advertising their business the truth is ( some ) are not really recruiting, these are unknown companies asking 4 ridiculous requirement. I will giv u an experience here I found a job post on a job portal of a company in ikeja looking for a network administrator I they put their address so I decided 2 go there mysef. On my investigation i discovered its just a small business that sells computers, when I asked them of the job they posted they said "which job" but later they admitted dey cud get me a job if I buy a computer from dem, they where just 2 small boys.


5) lastly it has never been about you
This is the most important reason, when u sign up to these portals u fill a lots of forms and along the line they encourage u why u should keep applying 4 jobs wit them with well crafted mails. But d truth is that In d job portal business there are 3 parties involved the job portal, the company posting job offer and u the applicant. In this chain u the applicant(middleman) gain the least if at all. The job portal gain from advertisement from the job posters or third party ads all they need u to do is just to keep cooming to their site if u get a job u are lucky if not they don't care.


Also the job advertisers gain in sense that they are advertising their business to lots of potential clients but u d applicant stand to gain the list consider urself lucky if u get a job.
Now

with this few reasons I hope I have convinced u why dropping ur cv to job portals an just hoping might just be a waste of time. I feel u stand a beta chance when u use ur networking power or a skilled u have acquired to do something or get a job 4 urself. Cheers.

tgmservice, I sight you ooo! All the way from the PushCV thread. And all that you've said is just so true. Thumbs up bro!

ochiora:
So true. But my ppls say a ga-ekworo maka mgbagbu ghara ogu?(Will u opt not to go for war, for fear of being shot?)
Pls the Op that posted this on thursday, I really need you to clarify what u meant in your reply via email that the applicant should come with his CV and copies of articles, essays, etc written by him/her. Is it mandatory for an NYSC lawyer or an Intern Lawyer to have written articles, essays or what have you? Pls next time be explicit in your post before making one send his/her credentials, cuz I myself I'm very careful about who or where I send my credentials. Thanks.

Dear Friends,

We are recruiting Nysc lawyers and non-Nysc lawyers (willing to take internships) for an organisation in Abuja urgently in need of a lawyer.

If you are a qualified lawyer in Abuja, currently doing your youth service and looking for a place to serve or you have finished your Nysc and are willing to work as an intern for a period of time, please send your CV to ruth@ji4d.org.

Please do this urgently and include your status and the job you are applying for in the subject or body of the email i.e "NAME (CORPER/INTERN LAWYER)."

Interviews will begin from next week.

Thank you,

JID Team

When I newly graduated in 2004, all I was doing then was read the Guardian Newspaper and apply for job. This I must say never worked. Got my first job through a friend's contact. Another through Online job application. But I must say Between 2011 to 2014, every job invitations I have had were through jobberman. In 2014 alone, I changed job 3 times, through application I submitted for on Jobberman. Jobberman is mostly good when you have experience. Though there are rituals and tricks to getting invitation for interview if you follow jobberman. If you can apply this tricks be assured you will get job invites for opportunities. Thank you all
