How I Got A Job / Confused: Got A Better Paying Job A Month After I Got A Job / I Got A Job - Here's My Testimony (2) (3) (4)
I Got A Job!!! by kayemjay(m): 7:00pm On Oct 23, 2015 |
Dear friends, It is not easy to be in the 'unemployed' market. I lost my job mid-september under very funny circumstances and without a penny. I became a regular to this section, applied for a number of jobs, and finally, exactly 27days later, I got a job although not from NL. Now, I want to encourage anyone who is still job hunting. YOU WILL GET YOUR JOB. However, you may need to do the following: 1. Draw Close to God (If you hadn't), and PRAY! 2. Have a killer Cover Letter and CV. 3. Packaging matters: My Cover Letter was one page and my CV, two pages. However, whenever I was dropping hardcopies, I made sure they were spiral bound and very impressive. Just three sheets, I know. But it was one of the reasons I got the job: An impressive presentation 4. Have mastery of your subject area 5. Be proactive 6. Talk to people 7. Think out of the box...I started my own company when I lost my job. Lol. Now I am running it while I work. Bottom Line: Whether as an employer or an employee, there is a job out there for you. Believe! 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Thank you all. your testimony will come soon. Roseey0: I was on my way to my first interview when it began raining. I was given an appointment for 9am and I could not afford to 'chill' for the rain to subside, else I would get there very very late. So, yours truly was drenched. Luckily my bag was not (I protected it with my life because of my documents). Long story short, My Cv was a bit rumbled. So, imagine when i was asked to hand over my cv, and i began straightening the 'dog ears' and smoothening the paper. I caught the interviewer looking at me with a grimace. Spiral binding it made it cooler. And not everyone was doing it. It made it more difficult to discard and shred. It catches the attention faster than just sheets lying on the table. It takes effort to shred. And for me, most importantly, it gives an inkling to how detailed, presentable, and how prepared you were for the job. Just my two cents though. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Congrats bro. One observation though, how come u got broke barely a month after u lost ur job? Learnt its always nice yo have your six months salary down as your life savings; so you can fall back on it if such happens while u look for a new job. Congrats once again, hope the twins are doing fine. |

Congratulations bro on your new job, I have to admit that I learnt one or two things from your experience. However, you need to delete this part away from you post lest "nairaland- send - me - a copy-of-your - CV" spammers infest your thread with hundreds of annoying spam request. Stay blessed. kayemjay: |
