you don't need a paper CV or the useless certificate.. just get the fucking skills. Tell the recruiters you are a professional and use the review from your freelance clients as a prove. This works 100% any day any time. just make sure you got skills with a good profile on upwork or freelancer and genuine reviews. These is 2016 for God sake you got no skills then you do not deserve a job. except those that pays stipends

Jobberman n co r sooo over rated...hv given up on dem for real

No connection no job.... Even phyno talk say make u no mess with him connect.... I still dey weep for naija

Coughs*** clears throat# diff strokes for diff folks

Even to make FP on nairaland u must b connected to any of d moderator or Seun.........corruption is evriwie in naija

You are right bro...I will surely go with that your option 3 and 5. it make senses baje

Every Job pursuit tip on niaraland must end in Pray pray pray!!! Nwanne man knee don dey peel sotey...

So no one is seeing the fact that the op got a job just from he's dad, what about those who don't have such.We all should search for a week or two and quit abi

oshey Op....simple truth

Recently became employed and i wish to share my experiences.
  I graduated from a renowned Nigerian instution with a 2.1 in architecture and a 4. Cgpa in masters. My skills included knolwledge in almost all relevant architectural software and general computing, so job humt must be easy right?
....

4. Be humble and honest. Ur cv is probably not the best, plus honesty pays...

5. Pray pray pray..

Prayer is unnecessary... It does nothing. Except if you mean prayer gives you some sort of psychological satisfaction.

Good advice tho.

What this op said is total crap. I got a job in this country without knowing anyone. He is just a spoilt brat who I believe got his grades by his father helping him sort lecturers. Make a good CV, search for jobs on the internet, upgrade your knowledge where necessary, and above all be hopeful and prayerful. Not everybody has a father who is influential. I am sure his father had to work for his own success.

Lol. He has 4. stuff in Masters. I don't even understand that. Masters is graded in 2 digits (except there's a certain arrangement for Architecture) e.g 60 points which qualifies one for PhD or 55-59 points which makes one eligible for MPhil.
I don't understand his 4. thingy. Maybe that's why he's suggesting one cannot a job without connections.

Recently became employed and i wish to share my experiences.
  I graduated from a renowned Nigerian instution with a 2.1 in architecture and a 4. Cgpa in masters. My skills included knolwledge in almost all relevant architectural software and general computing, so job humt must be easy right?

 ;DHowever i wanted a job by searching on my own. this led me to scurrying through jobberman, texing and mailing numerous online firms, calling various firms listed in the registered architects booklet.

  I got some offers, but the pay and work environment was discouraging.   After 2 weeks of looking... I humbly went back to my dad (who i had earlier refused his offer)  and just like magic, got a call from a nice firm to come and start work asap.

Anyways the point is.

1. Jobberman is now crap.. Nigerians have spoilt it with spam (got a lotta fake mails, plus jobberman kept advertising a cv rewrite (5k)  and online courses.

2. Jobs are near u. Check online using google maps or directories. For example i used archon register of architects, Gave me a localised list of numbers and mails

3. C.V's? Crap....show them what u can offer... c.v is just a formality. Peeps at my workplace havent even seen my C.V.

3. C.v's are good, but are better with connections.... Find an influential person and disturb the crap out of his/her life.

4. Be humble and honest. Ur cv is probably not the best, plus honesty pays...

5. Pray pray pray..

op,can you suggest any biz management directory I can use
thanks
btw today is my birthday
show some love

ArcFresky:
The point is to be creative and back ur efforts with connections

Creative in your search.

Get connected.

You have shown a good understanding of the Nigerian Labour Market.

I totally agree with the honesty part.

Nigeria Educational System use CGPA while UK and other European Universities use point system. What OP meant was that he got a 4.00 CGPA in his Masters.

When connections is needed to pass CV or get a job ...then its no longer by merit
