job seeking is harder than schooling
I have come to realise that even the most boring pattern of life in school-the triangular pattern...una know am now....from home to library to lecture back to home.... is far better than what it is now for job seekers.....
The next time a job fair or seminar is to be held in school, i will employ organisers to take along with them job seekers of not less than five years experience....
Damn the job....if i get one soon Glory be to God....if i don't, so be it.....
....dont post an old information you know you and your family have applied for....
who be the fool......

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
Well, we can not just conclude that schooling is better than job seeking, rather we say its easier, coz I drive pleasure in going from site to site, paper to paper office to office seeking for jobs that are not even available, the pleasure am driving, am understanding our country, I will have a lot to write inthe future

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
Nothing good comes easy-, so they say and so we know. My bros and sis., nothing compares to school stress. Many people don't even go to school and yet they make ends meet from their handcrafts and ingenuity. We feel so much stress b/c because we seek job, and its nobody's fault. It is the system. Our education curricular are geered towards job-seeking rather than self reliance. For me , I think the system should be entirely overhauled. It makes us look up to government for everything. What matters is the strength of your personality and the character of your passion. Wishing you all the best... One love.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
It is glaring to every that job seeking is harder than schooling but to some born with silver spoon in their mouth,it vice versa..... U know nah
-
Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
@e-diamond, i quite agree with you that our education in Nigeria has been patterned towards job-seeking rather than being Self-Reliant but note that it is not easy for a fresh graduate from a poor family without any initial financial capital to be self-employed as he will need small capital to start off his business. Somebody that cannot afford one dollar a day (N147 official rate) for survival may find it dificult to start any meaningful business and he is not credit worthy to be given a start up loan by either individual or organisation like banks. My broda, he no dey easy that is why many prefer to work for others first to get the capital they will need eventually to start their business.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
well i believe that cos most at-times you just wounder were to go looking for job even when the job is there the company will give you on excuse or the other cos the opportunity is reserved for someone else maybe a close relation.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
We go to school to learn; we seek for a job to earn a living,each of those has its own challenges.If you can conquer the challeges of schooling, very soon you will conquer that of Job.Cheers

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
The job hunting thing is more difficult than I ever imagined. Self-reliant? How do u get ur start off loan without collateral. but for some highly placed they dont need any collateral before they can borrow money from banks- ask our Bank Chiefs. Searching for job is the most difficult "course" i av ever had to face

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
it's not an easy task, but with God all things are possible.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
Yeah , Onomej4u, I couldn't agree more, you are correct, but note that the system is fashioned that way- to pull you down. But I tell you, if you leave yourself there, you would never make any meaningful impact, and no one will help you. You alone can help you. Forgive me, I am not sermonizing, it is experience. I graduated in 1997 and for good five years (were they really good?) after my service no job. I survived by bringing other graduates together to run a coaching class for SSCE and JAMB candidates.although I nor hammer much but it was something. I did that for three years and enrolled for Computer literacy. It on the sixth year thatone of our students father saw our resilience and passion to what we were doing and asked for our CVs. My dear, tory plenty well well. In a nutshell, I got a running contract with SPDC for training their fresh graduates. I am facilitator.
The message is never give up. If they don't employ you, employ others (the how is in you and in your passion). One love

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
House, the truth must be told. I agree with the fact that ,job seeking is harder than schooling. Because while in school you get almost all that you need if not immediately. But one thing is certain you must get it because your parents or guardian will always feel for you. But now who cares, where much is expected from you. Therefore HOUSE, you have to believe me. Is really tough. your on your own.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
thats correct bcos sch is fun, but job, it is just on its own

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
i feel u guys , that Unemployed association of nigeria will be a good one, but quite depressing unless we get some employers involved
-
Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
I quite agree with the topic. getting a job in this naija is quite an herculean task. one would have imagined that getting a job would be easier after all the stress involved in going to school in naija, but alas it is such a very high and great mountain to surmount.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
u dey there? my bros. & sis. i no easy at alll... but remember ''The God that provide a man farmland will also provide him working tools'' just keep moving the eyes of the almighty are on you, you will definitely reach the promise land, stay bless as you search.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
I totaly agree with all of u job seeking is more deficult. I use 2 think dat geting a job was easy not until after my NYSC let me tell u guys d govt does not av plans 4 d youth our destinies lies in our hands n baba God. Lets form the union n i become the PRESIDO how una see am
-
Reply
Its truely not easy bcos after NYSC, ur people are beginning 2 expect from u.
As it stands now, i dnt even tell people that i'm goin 2 write any test. Because as u do so, the repeated question would be, how far?? As if u dont know what u read in school or that u are now a failure.
The same thing if u ask money 4 transport 2 write a test, u r reminded of the one u did b4.
Conclusively, God is d last resort: He said he'll supply our needs accordin 2 His reaches in glory.
U need 2 keep goin especially when the journey bcoms tough. There's no resting point. Life goes on.
As 4 forming a Union, there's no point, the govt knows. Doing that means u are defeated? God bless Nigeria

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
I really share your opinion but the question we need to ask ourselves is why it has to be so.
One thing i've come to realize in Nigeria is that many people after spending years and money in school refuse to realize that you need some investment on job search as well.
One of the investment you will have to make is getting yourself equipped for your dream job by reading books on job search.
A research conducted recently revealed that majority of Nigerian Job seekers don't read career related books and they find it hard to get jobs even they qualify. Read this manual called Job search guru and you will know what i'm talking about. It's a research based ebook and there you will discover things like:
*how to get job
*how to get work experience even if you have never worked before
*Simple secrete only few Nigerian Job Seekers know that once you know will give you a headway and so many insider tricks i may not be able to mention here.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
WHo say schooling is more difficult than securing a job? Our universities and polytechniques in Nigeria numbered more than 120 (one hundred and twenty) and these schools give admission to students numbering more than 450,000 students every year as well graduate a similar number who flood into the labour market to be deceived by friend and relative as well as other financial fraudsters who are still unemployed graduate but have find succor in malicious act of dining from the pains of others. Nigeria economy, inclusive is both private and public sector does not or had not been able to provide jobs for the teaming population of its graduate. Advertise a job today in any state, say a viable and well known company; make the salary known to all- say =N=65,000, the entire nation's your will throng the scene. This is not because the money is much considering the inflationary rate today, but because securing a job is just too complex.

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
thank for all your imformation pls keep it up , do your best dig out more and them on time .you people are rally grate family ,you have help many get jobs . up you once more worm regards

Re: job seeking is harder than schooling
This topic is quite hilarious yet true. Even when you see jobs that suite you, you find out tha what the require is almost unattainable for graduate. How does some ome who just finished school with little or no experience be asked to possess 5 to ven 20years experience. At the end of the day,they want o pay peanuts for someone with so much an experience....Na wa o!!!One can only hope for the best.
