How To Get a Job Without Connections in Nigeria - by Kelechi Udoagwu

Things are hard in Nigeria, no doubt about that. Our industries and government work sub optimally, and we're used to it. New and old graduates face the anxiety of trying to fend for themselves with limited options.

 

An advantage of living in a country like ours, however, is that we learn to take care of things ourselves.

 

Before I started working on Skrife, I worked several job  in different companies, and while I agree that I got referred to some by people in my network; I got the majority of these jobs without connections, affiliations, or someone who knows someone.

 

No one should sit back and get used to being unemployed. Retain a sense of urgency in your search and be ready to seize any opportunity that comes your way. Here’s some advice on how to get a job when you don’t know anyone:

 

Treat your job search as a full-time job

Treat your job search like a full-time job and show up to work everyday. Regardless of how lethargic you may feel, staying idle will make you feel more frustrated. Put some structure in your life by working on tasks that relate to your search for at least 5 hours everyday eg 9am to 2pm. Tasks can include researching companies and vacancies, speaking to and emailing people, attending conferences, stalking executives, reading industry articles, emailing agencies, following up on sent applications, etc. If you’re consistent with this, you have a chance of getting a job quicker than you imagine. Take your job – your lack of a job – seriously.
