My brother, let me advise you.

Stop fighting for government jobs... That's the lazy route to take.

Learn some skills and think of what you can do for yourself. Or start volunteering with a small local NGO and then build enough capacity to work in larger ones. Or go to YouTube and choose a particular thing to learn and watch as many videos as you can.

The possibilities are endless.

Good luck.

Bull's eye...God bless you.

lol, OP, sorry ooo, I opened a file (hard copy) with them since November 2010 after my NYSC and in 2013 i registered online. I have not been contacted by them since 2010 till date. Infact I visited the office last week thursday and most of the offices were locked. Between 2010 till date, I've been there for like 5 times without seeing the commissioner...as earlier advised, learn a skill or join any private organisation. Most importantly, pray for God's directions. All the best!

You have given op the best advice so far no more to say.

Not always true.when I was in school I use to hear pple say that, now I am a graduate and have a fed. Job without knowing the president. Know God and all is well with you.

davepepple83:
My dear,there is nothing God cannot do.The truth could be very bitter but it has to be told.The truth is that you cannot get such jobs without knowing anyone and your friends may not tell you the truth.I am sure they got there numbers through their connections

Sorry for the long epistle in advance, but I have to write this, who knows? I might get help..
I finished my youth service July 2015. At the time I finished, I didn't know anything about registering with the civil service commission to get a file number to aid employment with the Federal government but somehow, I later got to know towards end of last year, that was around November or so.
So, I went to the federal civil service commission at abuja and was directed to my state office (Ondo), on getting there, they asked to see my original credentials and I showed them all, after that they gave me a list to write my name, course of study and phone number. After that, I now asked them what is next? They said that was all.. I then told them that was not the orientation I got before coming. People that have done it in the past told me i'll be given a form to fill after which a file will be opened for me and I'll be given a file number. Immediately, they countered me, they said they no longer do such. That they've stopped the manual process that I should check their website and register there. So, I went home that day, hoping to register at their site when I get home. On getting home, I realised there was nothing like that on their site, it was more like they just deceived me. I was really pained cos I didnt have a job, had to collect tfare from my parents to go there. That one passed, some months later, my friends from other states said they registered successfully and were given file numbers, I was angry.. I decided to go back there and on getting there, I realised it's the same thing they're still doing, so I met a woman in another state and explained myself to her, she told me to submit my credentials with her that she would help me, that was early April o. I've been calling her since then to follow up, she's been telling me stories. Now, she has stopped picking her calls. Please I need help, I really need this file number cos I wish to work with the federal government and I heard its a requirement, pls what can I do? Why has our country deteriorate this much, that you need to know someone to do the simplest things. Sincerely am fed up cos am sure some other people from same state as mine that know people would have gotten their numbers by now

From the way you sound, I too would have stopped picking your call a long time ago. Reason being that you appear and sound desperate. Has it even crossed your mind that you may not find happiness where your friends find it. Why do you desperately need to work with the FG?

You need to also keep an open mind, Find out what you are passionate about and start doing it while waiting for you FG appointment.

Op, thank them for saving you the stress of opening file because it's not necessary. Those who get Govt jobs these days don't even go Fed civil serv comm. If you really need govt job, you need strong connection. That's all.

Awe please, get it straight, as for me I can't apply for any job talkess of them calling me to come and write exam or interview. Today if you are invited for any job exam or interview, it means u can't have that job, the only job you get is the job that does not involve interview or exam, it means you got your letter at your door step.. Forget FCSC.

Now you are awake to see the struggle in your country..that is just the beginning...u better put ur trust in God for a divine favour..as for federal service commission help for job u will wait for eternity....most of us had done dat in d past nothing comes out of it till today...my credentials are with FSC at okpanam Road Asaba till today no call from them after several visiting and checking on them i got fade up and delete the hope from my mind..God help u in struggle for job search

my brother I will advice contained you to stop bothering yourself with that file number, it doesn't guarantee your employment. I did that in 2013 and I had 2 file number but till today nothing good has came out from there. am now working as a state civil servant wit the legislature. if you don't know anybody you are just opening files for rats

U getting the file is of no use, because u got to know somebody to qualify to get a job. But if u really want the file u will have to pay for it. 200 naira n summit it in d third floor or so but u can also ask from another office down steps. Quietly ask someone u will get it free. Don't put hope that dey will call u, because so. Many people r waiting

File number is not the guarantee of securing a job with FCSC
I'm speaking from experience.
I have a file number was even short listed for a job with federal ministry of labour
and productivity.
traveled from Abuja to PH for an aptitude test that was in 2012 till date the
out come of that test remains a mystery.
I'll advice you to explore other options which by far is better.
If you wait for Civil service job, you go tey for bus stop

kkk did u pay any amount of money to get this file number,,did they promise you any job, where u taken to any form of capturing...xplain further I really wish to help,regards.

umar745:
This forum is now overflowing with idiots. If you can't help or give him advice why comment at all?

Anyways OP go there and try to initiate the whole process again maybe they would have changed their ways, else pick another state, I think its 3-4 state per office so you'll have to pick a state quite far from the present state you are using.

you can only register with your state of origin office, that's the procedure. Each state has their respective offices in the fcsc . Am from Ondo state!

opeyemi361:
That's the new process OP, for Ondo state, you will register at Federal Civil Service Commission and they expect you to fill it online. But to be honest, the process is "Man know Man"

I've checked online. There's no provision for that on their site.

Thanks for your advice. I've learnt a skill already, that's what am managing myself with right now, but it's not everytime one gets customers that needs my services. Getting a job where I'll have constant pay is what am trying to do now, I've applied at various firms too. Praying God'll pick up my call soon.

JOESAJIB:

Op, thank them for saving you the stress of opening file because it's not necessary. Those who get Govt jobs these days don't even go Fed civil serv comm. If you really need govt job, you need strong connection. That's all.

Thanks. But even if I have someone that'll help me get a govt job, won't they ask for my file number?

funny!@opening files for rats. Please how did you get your state govt job? Btw am not a guy, am a lady. Thanks

Bimpe29:
Staff in the office of the Commissioner in charge of your state(Ondo) are not serious. It is nothing special to obtain form for onward registration at Federal Civil Service Commission. It is one of the simplest and easiest things to do by job seekers or their proxy.
However, that's not to say, one must know someone to get the job. Acquisition of the so called form does not hold water.
My advice is for you to find out who is the Commissioner representing your state, or try any person who might have significant influence on how to get your dream Federal Job.
Such a job is not advertised nor is it gotten on a platter of gold.
One must be a prayer warrior and putting all required efforts.
I wish you best of the luck.

thank you. The reason am bothered about it that much is because when I told my ex boss at the place I served about my job search, the first thing he asked me was if I had opened a file with the federal civil service commission. N.B I served at a federal parastatal

Relecool:

I didnt pay. Out of my desire to get a job with the federal government, I made enquiries and was told the first step is getting a file number which I've not been able to get since I've been trying

The fed civil service workers are terrible people. I don't blame them, they will play with your destiny. When I did the process 2012, it was quite frustrating, I had to resort to pulling strings with certain connections.

Don't believe the hype bro, get a skill, develop over the next few years...invest in your future that way. if you studied a professional course then look for a small private company, offer to work for free (intern).

Don't make the mistake of being too desperate, you will find your path

Thank you. Am a lady, I studied physics and electronics. I've acquired a skill in bead making. But the income flow isn't consistent, cos it's not all the time I get customers. Am really in need of a job now

d33types:
is that the awful experience? do you know how many persons have done the same as you? or you think you are more special than the other millions of unemployed graduates seeking federal employment?

my friend park well..the government is bad for everybody.you arent smart,else you'd have progressed more than opening a file..
by being smart,I don't mean bribery.

U too park well. He expressed himself clearly wetin come be the rude talk. If u no get advice leave am now, why bully. Talk with fairness...

Dear OP who is a lady. #smiles u are not wrong to b searching for this job. Take it easy. Have u got a good phone. Make clear videos about what u can do in u field physics/electronics, train other people in the beads making u have learnt, by subsidizing it and choosing to teach many at once. For a lady the hustle can b tough, that steady income helps u get organised. use social media to ur advantage e. g advertise ur beads.. see I made 2:1 I still dey search too. Forget opening file it matters not. I just dnt know there ought to b a way we youths can unite and turn around our fates.... good luck.

Tink Agric bro, it pays!

Yeah I know, I was talking about you getting the indigen certificate of another state (not a legal thing to do I know)

Na formality things. It's man know man. Just drop your form with someone mouthed and relax. They will bring your letter home for you

Walahi, this "file opening/file number" be like say I dey watch Hindi film.

Goodeeman:
Sincerely speaking that is the new procedure except u want to give your money to those charlatans that hanged around the commission by giving u a fake file number after paying some amount of money. The same thing is applicable to my state office (Enugu).

please where is the enugu office located at?..can I contact you to know more about this please. Am from Enugu state
