How to increase your employability in Nigeria

A thread 👇🏿

"I have applied to so many firms both online and offline. Yet, no job".

Every unemployed person knows this feeling. It's depressing.

" LinkedIn? Mehn! I've been there for over 2 years now. That shit is useless"
It's annoying. I know but it has worked for a lot of people.

The problem could actually be from you.

There are lots of errors you are neglecting and they're holding you down from getting a job you want.

This errors could be;

1. Your CV and cover letter still has the format of those ones used in 1986. This is 2019!

2. Your LinkedIn profile is a whole mess. You can't even find any job with that kind of profile.

3. You don't even focus on the most important industry. You scatter your CV everywhere.

At this point, you're just playing dumb.

4. The sites you follow don't provide real job

vacancies. They just put up anything they see.

This is why you get to the venue and there's nothing there that looks like a firm.

5. You graduated in 2009 and till now, you haven't acquired any relevant skill that'll help you in your field.

Hey, your brain is probably

asleep now.

You have to fix these stuffs before you make any other move. The number of unemployed people in Nigeria is too much.

The competition is strong. Step up your game now.

I have a few steps that'll help you bit the race. These steps are tested and proven.

1. You need to fix your CV and cover letter. There are new formats for CVs that are efficient.

You can learn how to do that online or hire a firm that can help you do that. There are many of them but I'll recommend you choose @BTDTHub

They have a great team and record of

of client testimonials. Their cost isn't much. They'll do a good job for you.

2. Work on your LinkedIn profile. Improve the quality, to increase your chances of getting called.

This is done by Optimizing your profile. You can as well learn or outsource it to competent firms,

Again @BTDTHub are good in doing this too. They also have a package for the three (Cover letter, CV review and LinkedIn optimization). You can send them a DM or send a mail.

3. Place your focus on your desired industry and watch your chances of getting a job skyrocket

4. Follow pages and websites that have good reviews. There are lots of them. If you don't know any, @Google is your friend.

For pages, I'll recommend you follow @epicrichconsult
They have more organic and real job vacancies.

5. I always say this. Learn a skill

and basically those ones that are linked to your field. It'll help you a lot. Not just job-wise but every other way.

6. The most important.
Pray to God. Leaving him out will make your journey more frustrating and depressing. He has the power to favour you even over your errors

BONUS: Stop beating yourself up over a job. It's not the ultimate in life. Learn to be happy even when things are not going the way you want.
Be cheerful at all times.

PS: I never said these steps will send a job knocking on your doors immediately you do them. Rather, it gives

you an edge and increases your chances of getting that dream job.
