ukjerry: @ ukjerry & nnenarita, Try to build a strong network comprising a lot of HR and top management persons using LinkedIn. Once you've s1uccessfully done that your story will be "what kind of job do I need?". It takes a little bit of time and effort, fortunately that ensures the only few people try it out and so a lot of opportunities abound there, good luck |

Atk1nson: Hey Atk1nson ![]() Thanks for caring and replying.. The problem I'm having with linkedin is "i think it favours the employed with experience more than graduates looking to start out. I believe they feel they know why an unemployed individual is sending them the invite in the first place and truly, they aren't far from the truth I've tried sending invites to top management people and Hr 's but 1 out of 30 accepts the connection invite. |

ukjerry: Try this: 1. Build a profile rich with your informal employment/volunteer experience. Your profile should portray you as a gogetter at a glance 2. Search out active & relevant HR persons. Most of them may not be inclined to accept a new connection because they probably receive lots of those everyday. So in addition to sending a connection request, "follow" them. They are unlikely to decline your "follow" action as it gets automatically accepted. Following them gives you the opportunity to seen their posts and other activities and make comments 3. Do the same for key professionals in your field too The algorithm on LinkedIn will keep suggesting other relevant people, just keep following and connecting where necessary 4. Create visibility for yourself by making interesting comments, thought leadership and articulate submissions With time your efforts will pay off and you'll become hotcake. I've seen freshgraduates receive several job offers due to posts made on LinkedIn. It may be easier getting a job as a freshgraduate as many of your connections will be able to more easily employ a freshgraduate compared to an experienced hire who will have built up a lot of preferences that prospective employers may not be able to meet. Be careful not to appear desperate or an attention-seeking, just "flow" at a reasonable rate and people will take not of d strength of your personality over time 4 Likes |

ukjerry:That will be awesome. I have been thinking of doing something like that but wanted someone to do the hustling together. However, I'm not in Lagos now but hope to be back by January. So how can I get to you? |
