Searching for Top job vacancies in Nigeria: better job search strategy.


Over 70000 graduates are estimated to be unemployed in Nigeria and the figure is rising on a daily basis. Different strategies are now being employed in different quarters to stay updated on new job openings and vacancies in Nigeria.

In recent years, with the advent of internet, job searches had taken an entirely new form. There is now the conventional shifting from searching the print media source to the online source. Even though searching for job openings in the print media is still in vogue in some part of the country, the enlightened and computer literate individual prefer to use the online source. Even companies and employers in Nigeria sees online advert placement as a cheaper and faster way to get their message to potential employees.

Are you with your O-levels , A-level or still waiting for your youth service call up, you can actually get a job vacancy that requires the exact combination of skills and credentials that you already posses. You just need to look properly in the right source and channel.

The idea suggested in this topic is mainly how to optimize the use of internet in staying current on job openings and vacancy.

It’s quite possible to get your dream job in a very short time that beats your imagination, if you actively participate in the job vacancies searches.

You can suggest any effective strategies that you have used in the past. You can also  post links to sites that lists recent job openings

Getting informed and staying updated on new job vacancies and job openings

Before embarking on any job search, you have to have a definite interest. Do you want any kind of job , do you prefer banking job or do you want to work in a research institute or hospital, e.t.c. Defining your intention or desire helps because it saves your time and money and helps you to channel your resources to your exact interest.

A common trend in Nigeria this day, is the very short period of job vacancy openings. Some maybe as short as a week, others may last up to months. This is a more reason why you need to stay updated on recent job vacancies in Nigeria.

Information on new job openings can be obtained in the following ways.

Checking news media such as the newspapers, radio, television
. These are the old and conventional style of getting informed of job openings in Nigeria. It is still relevant but only few companies advertise their job openings through these channels. The newspaper is the best of the available news media.

Checking the online versions of Nigerian newspaper. The online versions of the Nigeria daily is a good way to stay current on the job vacancies advertised on the newspaper.

Checking the websites of the companies of interest. This is a very powerful way, to get updates of job openings released by those companies. One may decide to keep checking them on a weekly or fortnight basis.Usually, new job openings are listed either on the careers page or job vacancy page of the site. Some company’s site accepts CV or information from potential employee from which they can shorlist candidates for interview

Registering with online-job-searching agency
.  This form of job search strategy is not very common in Nigeria, but its widespread in other country. What such site does actually is to search for job openings  and vacancies depending on your interest, and they mail such job openings to you. Sometimes, employers may access the database of such companies to search for individuals that meet their criteria. I haven’t heard of any that is specifically for Nigerian jobs even though most foreign ones claims to cover job in the whole world.

Visiting sites that contains information on new job vacancies. These is the most popular way of searching for online jobs in Nigeria these days. A lot of site actually lists recent and updated job listings. Some even have common discussion forum that allows different persons to suggest new job openings to the “house”. An example of that is this forum. Members can suggest new job openings to other members.

You can also suggest strategies to staying updated in online job searches

As indicated in one of my articles, one of the most popular way of doing online search for job is consulting the job vacancies and job listing site. This job vacancy sites, obtains their information in a number of ways which includes interactive forum between different members, information from companies themselves, and from other various source. They usually provide links to site that advertises the job opening. Future editions to this post will feature links to sites that lists current and available job openings
