It is no longer breaking news that finding jobs in Nigeria is almost an impossible adventure. This is because of what I call the “Who-You-Know” syndrome that has negatively affected the minds of so many Nigerian job applicants today. What do I mean? It is often believed by these applicants that it is who you know that matter in the Nigerian job hunting adventure. This implies that if you do not know or have somebody at the helm of affairs of any company or firm that you intend to work, then the possibility of you getting a job is very slim. This free special report reveals some untold truth about finding a job in Nigeria.

2. Hello friend, I want to thank you very much for taking the first step
towards changing the course of your life in the Nigerian job hunting
game. Your taking this step shows that you are ready to make all the
necessary changes that will land you into your dream job within the
shortest possible time. I would like to encourage you to carefully learn,
the things that I will be sharing with you in this report because this may
be the only opportunity that you may have to get this kind of first-hand
information. Do have a nice time reading.
It is no longer breaking news that finding jobs in Nigeria is almost an
impossible adventure. This is because of what I call the
“Who-You-Know” syndrome that has negatively affected the minds of
so many Nigerian job applicants today. What do I mean? It is often
believed by these applicants that it is who you know that matter in the
Nigerian job hunting adventure. This implies that if you do not know or
have somebody at the helm of affairs of any company or firm that you
intend to work, then the possibility of you getting a job is very slim.
Most of these applicants spend almost all their time looking for the
so-called 'Connection' that will give them the job that they so desire
and this has made so many of them lose their valuable assets. Some have
even gone as far as borrowing money to give to someone that claims to
be at the helm of affairs or knows who can help them get a job as quickly
as possible, while some of our female folks have been misled all in the
name of getting a job. What a pity!
You may want to ask, does this mean people are not using this
“Who-you-know” to get jobs in Nigeria? Yes, some may have gotten
theirs through these means but do you know how many Nigerian
applicants that have been wasting their precious time and life, all in the
name of waiting for one 'big dude' somewhere that may have promised
them job? What a waste of time!
Introduction

3. My question here is, does it mean that all the employees in our county
got into their various offices only by this means? You will agree with me
that there must be so many other employees that got theirs without
having to pass through anybody. I know of so many people that got theirs
without anybody's assistance. How did this happen? You may want to
ask. This was the reason why I have decided to put together this Free
material to help as many persons that will be humble enough to apply
some of the secrets that I will be sharing in this book to work in their life.
In the rest pages of this material, I will be revealing some of the major
causes of unemployment in our country and also share with you some of
the exact things to do in order to distinguish yourself from the crowd as
an applicant. I believe that it will make no sense doing the same thing
over and over again when you are not getting any positive results from it.
It high time we changed the way we do things if we must experience
positive changes in any aspect of our individual lives. So I will
encourage you to take your time to ponder and digest this piece of
information (as it applies to you).
In Nigerian job market today, you will find out that things are gradually
changing as the traditional way of applying for jobs are now becoming
obsolete. In a few years from now, all job applications will be done
online. Many multinational companies have already started using online
as their only medium for accepting job applications from applicants
while others are still in the process of making this a reality.
With time, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to find any
company or firm that will be accepting manual or offline applications
from applicants. What does this imply? It therefore suggests that
applicants will have to make all necessary adjustments as quickly as
possible, to match these new developments in the job market.
Understanding the Nigerian Job Market

4. Another important fact that I will like to share is that, because of the
huge volumes of applications that employers receive each year, it is now
almost impossible for them to spend much time going through all the
individual CVs of applicants.
From my research, I have discovered that employers or job consultants
are not willing to waste their time and energy going through any CV
submitted by an applicant when it does not contain what is required. Well,
I will take my time to talk more about this in the later part of this
material.
Recently, I was going through some online articles and I was very
surprised to learn that employers and job consultants spend less than one
minute to go through an application. How is this possible? You may want
to ask, like I did when I read those few lines of articles. As I did more
research, I realized it is true.
Employers spend only few seconds on the first page of your CV and if
they cannot find what they are not looking for, then it is trashed or
dropped immediately. How you present or format your CV is key to your
job hunting success. In the later part of the book, I will also be sharing
with you some very helpful tips on what to do. But before then, I will like
us to discuss some of the major causes of unemployment in Nigeria.
In this session, I will be sharing with you some of the major causes of
unemployment in our country and how you can be smart enough to avoid
repeating or making the same mistakes that have kept other applicants in
the same spot. I will encourage you take your time to explore some of the
secrets that I will be unfolding here with you.
Trying to solve any problem in life without, first of all, finding the cause
of such a problem is nothing but a waste of time and effort. If you to see
any medical doctor for any health related problem, you will find out that
he does not start administering treatments immediately. What he does, is
to conduct test on you to know the exact cause of the problem before he

5. can administer the appropriate treatment on your case. The same thing
applies here.
If as an applicant, you have been applying for jobs for a long time and
you are not getting any positive response from your potential employers,
then I think it will be wise for you to first of all, pause and ask yourself
some life changing questions like: What am I doing wrong? Does it
mean these companies that I have applied to are not contacting other
applicants? If they are, why are they not contacting me?
Then you will tell yourself this truth that all of these companies that have
not contacted me cannot be wrong at the same time. So, there must be
something I am not doing correctly. Asking yourself these questions
above and also telling yourself this truth will not change your approach
towards things but will also force you to seek every necessary source of
information that will be of great assistance in your desired quest.
Also, if you have been waiting for one “Uncle” somewhere that have
promised job to fulfill his promise or you have been looking for one “Big
Daddy” somewhere to help you a job, it will be also be very important
for you to ask yourself some thoughtful questions as well. You can start
by asking yourself questions like: how long will I continue to wait or
look for someone to help me get a job? Does it mean that if I make up my
mind today to get all the appropriate information on what it takes to get a
job that I cannot find myself a job?
If you can genuinely ask yourself these questions, you will be surprised
how many changes that it will cause within you and will be very ready to
pay any prize or sacrifice that it cost you to find yourself a job. Below, I
will like to share with you some of the major things that cause
unemployment so that you will be able to make every necessary
adjustment as it applies to you.
The ‘God’ Factor
You may want to ask, what has God got to do with this again? Maybe it
will be nice for you to be patient with me as I drive home my point. Stay
with me and you will understand clearly how this can affect your job

6. hunting adventure.
In Nigeria today, there two major religions and maybe other minor ones.
But as a Christian, would like to illustrate my point using the Christian
people. Telling God to do what you are supposed to do is being
irresponsible without knowing. How do I mean? If you are looking for a
job as a Christian for example, all you do is only fast, pray, go for all
night miracle services and after that, does nothing simply because you
believe from the bible that: ...that with God all things are possible
(Matthew 19:26 NIV), do you think you can get a job even after you have
done all these without applying for any job? What about the bible verse
that say: ...faith without works is dead also (James 2:26 NKJV)?
My point here is that, God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians
14:33), so He cannot contradict His words. So if any of us believes Him
for a Job, he must show it by backing his belief with his actions (works).
That is, after he has done all his prayers, then he must do all the
necessary job applications that are required to get him a job. This is
where many folks miss it. They only pray and start waiting that one day
job will get a job without applying for it. This one of the major reasons
why they have waited for so long because nothing works until you make
it to work.
I would like to also make myself clear, here, that prayer is very important
in our lives. I am only saying that when you pray alone without backing
your prayers with corresponding actions will make your prayers
ineffective. This is one of the reasons many of us are not getting results
from their prayers. So it is PRAYERS + CORRESPONDING ACTIONS
= DESIRED RESULTS.
The 'Self' Factor
Having a poor belief system could negatively affect everything you do in
life as a person. If you already believe for example, that finding a job is
very difficult or you do not have the connection to get you a job, this may
negatively affect your actions which will also hinder you from taking all

7. the necessary steps that will get you a job.
It will really be very important for us to change the way we see ourselves
if we desire to see positive changes in our lives. There is no doubt that
searching for job requires some hard work and discipline as well. So it
will demand some time and efforts from you. Knowing this fact alone,
will give you some level confidence and this will enhance your
approaches in making your dream a reality. So my dear friend, I will like
to encourage you to always put in your best in all that you do in life, most
especially now that you are searching for a job and you will be very
surprised at the results that you will get at the end of it all.
The 'Who-You-Know' factor
If you would recall from the introductory part of the report, I talked
about this subject and I may not be discussing much about this. So I
would like to believe that you already gotten idea of what I meant by this
subject.
Many applicants today, have allowed their minds to be programmed
either directly or indirectly by believing that if they do not know or have
anybody at the ' Top ' that they cannot have any job. What a false belief!
Some may have gotten theirs through this means but do you know that
out of the so many applicants waiting and hoping to find their dream job
through this means that only a very few fraction of them actually
succeeds?
Who knows, maybe you are among the many applicants who have not
found any one to help or connect them to their dream jobs that is why
you reading this now to know exactly what to do next. But what will you
do when you do not have or find anyone to link or connect you? Sit and
wait or start wasting your valuable time looking for one?
This is where many applicants have found themselves today and this is
one of the major factors that have been holding them back. For you, I
know that you are among the very smart applicants that would like to do
things differently to get different results in your job hunting that is why
you are reading this now.

8. My point here is that, it is very possible to still get a job without this
humiliating method of looking for who can help you. Do you know that
no man can help you more than you can help yourself? Don't you think it
will be more dignified if you can do it yourself rather than getting the
help from someone that may end up trying to act as if he or she is your
god? All you need to make this happen my dear friend is just the right
information (just like the one you are reading right now) and your
willingness to apply yourself to the very information that you have
gotten.
Now that you have known the three major causes of unemployment in our
country and how you can you completely avoid the same mistakes, I think it
will be very important at this point, to also share with you the next vital steps
to take in order to win the job hunting game. This is where you really need to
take seriously because you may never find some of the information that I am
going to be sharing with you in any book or material. So I will really,
encourage you to take your time to digest this piece of information and put to
work what you have shared with you here. Join me now as we get started!
The Right Mind Set:
You may want to ask that what this has to do with finding a job. If you permit
me, I would politely tell you, in my opinion, that this is the most important
factor to be considered if you must be successful in your job searching
adventure. Without having the right frame of mind all the time, it will be very
difficult, if not impossible for anybody to achieve anything tangible in life.
What exactly do I mean? I am saying here that having the right mind set is
simply being positive that any challenge you face in life, that there must
always be a way out of it. You now convince yourself that as our individual
names are different, so is our destinies. So if other applicants are not finding
Five Steps to Correctly Search for Job
Step One

9. jobs, I must get a job because I don't have the same destinies with them. This
is the kind of mind set you need to build in yourself all the time and once you
are convinced about this, it will be impossible for you to be discouraged in
your quest for finding the right job.
Before we talk about your next step to take after this, I will like to encourage
you, my dear reader, to always let this mindset be in you and to completely
avoid any friend or group of friends that will make you think otherwise if you
are not able to make them think like you. I trust you will not allow them!
Choose your Areas of Interest:
Searching for a job demands some hard work and it therefore requires some
strategic approach. You should avoid the temptation of applying for any job
vacancy you find simply because it is vacant. This is because all the job
vacancies are not meant for you. This means that, there are some jobs that you
qualify for and there are others you don't.
So it will be very important for you to choose the areas or sectors in the job
market that you are interested and making applications as it applies to you.
For example, if you are a fresh graduate with no previous work experience,
you should focus more on 'Graduate Trainee' job vacancies and other jobs
vacancies that requires no previous working experience. This will save you a
lot of stresses and discouragements.
My point here is that when you focus more on job vacancies that relates to you,
it will save you some energy and you will be surprised at the results that you
will be getting as you put this into practice. In the next step, you will be
learning some new stuff about putting your CV formatting.
Step TWO

10. Customize your CV:
This is the next step to take after you have chosen your areas in the job
market that you want to make applications to. For example, when you come
across any job opening that you are interested in, you should not just be in a
hurry to send your CV without taking your time to go through the job
requirements. Once you are done with that, you can then customize your CV
to suite the requirements of the job by rearranging it in descending order of
importance. That is, putting the most important points in your CV before the
less important one. Let us move now to the next step.
Join useful Networks:
This is one of the things that you need to do in order to take full advantage of
the job vacancies that is available in the Nigerian job market or any other one
in the world. You can join networks like job forums, News Papers Facebook
fan pages of companies of interest, Church Service groups, some professional
networking sites like LinkedIn and others.
The point I am trying to establish here is for you to enlarge your job hunting
network. It could even be by connecting and sharing job vacancy
opportunities with your other friends on Facebook and Twitter. This is
because, whenever there is any job vacancy, it is very this networks that you
can get first hand information.
In my new eBook “Nigerian Job Hunting Tools”, I illustrated this and other
useful tools with examples and screen shots to actually show you how you can
achieve this as fast as possible. So I will also encourage you take advantage of
the new book in order to save you a huge time of trying to figure out things
yourself. At the end of this report, you get details on how you can get this new
eBook. Let us now precede to the last step.

Step FOUR

11. Keep Records of all your Applications:
When you start making job applications, it always very advisable to keep
records of all your applications either by creating a folder in your existing
email account or by opening a separate email account just for this purpose.
This is very important because there maybe situations where you have edited
your CV to some job applications, so when you start getting responses from
the applications that you have made, it will now make it very easy for you to
locate such applications from your records and reviewing them accordingly.
The Only thing that can negatively affect you
The only thing that will make all this information that you have now acquired
not to be effective is LACK OF ACTIONS (PROCRASTINATION). Well, I
want to believe that you will not allow this to rub you of your job.
I will like to thank you for taking your time to go through this report and I
wish you success as you start from now to apply yourself to the things that
you have learnt from this piece of information. Please feel very free to email
me when you have any further questions. I look forward to hearing your job
hunting success story soon.
