Getting a job is different for different folks. We can't all get jobs the same way. Some will get through referrals, others through applying and yet others through pure luck. The main thing is to make sure we are prepared to exploit the opportunity once it appears.

I've once gotten a job through a post on Facebook by someone we went to school together. I got another through referral from someone I worked with during my SIWES.

Your next job can come from the most unexpected place, just prepare yourself to make use of the opportunity when it arrives. One other thing, don't stop applying and most importantly, DON'T GIVE UP.

[b]I got My present Job as a result of Poverty cry cry. It really helped me identify the hidden talents in me. When hunger nack a hell out of you, You will know that looking for Juicy job is a waste of time. You can only get such Job in your dream cheesy

I was Jobless for 7 years after i graduate from University. With Good grade fa shocked shocked. But then, i had No direction, No hope, Nothing!! sad

i traveled through the nook and cranny of Nigeria in search of Job, but nothing to show for it sad

i was denied job in a new Generation bank because of my religion in the hay day of Boko haram back in 2009. The HR guy mr Basil told me point blank that that i look like Boko Haram shocked shocked

I browsed through Nairaland in 2011 and i saw a thread where linda ikeji bought 6million naira car or so. I sat myself down and studied the girl and its mode of blogging. I made google my daily companion and researched on blogging.

3 years later, Inshallah, I bought my own Big Car from Blogging too cheesy Thunder fire banking, NNPC, CBN,FIRS jobs, Im far more better than their Ogas there. (No bragging oOo wink )

Yes I own and run www.Vibenigeria.com It has over Half a million Followers on facebook and top 300 website in Nigeria according to alexa ranking smiley

P.S.

I dont even know how to code, but i designed it myself where lots of Youtube videos, PDF ebook downloads and more efforts

The bottom line is Try and study successful people, Dont try to be like them, just study them, redefine your own way and God will open the door

I was persistent and the man had no other choice than to buy the services i was selling.


There was an opening along the line and he asked if i was interested.

Re: How Did You Get Your Present Job? by engrshakespeare: 3:16pm On Aug 17, 2015
All the responses I see here make me grateful for my line of job. My last major job was at Access bank where I resigned with a salary of about 114k. I indulged thereafter in many biznesses that didnt succeed until I started learning chinese. I never knew learning a language could pay so well. Now I am on a salary of 100k. The best part is I have options, other employers are trying to make me leave my employer on d promise of a higher pay so my employer knows my worth. I have never been asked for my cv, ability to speak d language is all I need. I dont like chinese pple per say but d ability to speak their language can put many plates of food on your table. Forget d course u read, I read Elect/Elect Engr but I have since switched to doing masters in Chinese language. If u are crying unemployment its ur fault, one year plus and u cn begin translating with a starting salary of 60k without cv.
