So You Are Looking For Job?

Looking for a job in today’s Nigeria seems like an intimidating prospect. The word out there is that if you do not have a godfather or “long leg”, you will not land a job sometime soon. This is not strictly true.

There is still room for merit. If you have ever run a business, you will discover how hard it is to get an experienced and faithful employee. There is a saying
"JOBS ARE NOT SCARCE, FAITHFUL MEN ARE"

Quite often, the employer is more eager to get a good employee than you are to get a good job. The issue is, “How does an eager employer meet a faithful and willing employee?”. Getting a good staff is a tough proposition. Faithful men are scarce, very scarce. Employers are looking for them. They comb nooks and crannies for them, and enlist all the help they can.
That is the reason employers commission employment agencies, and splash full page adverts on papers in their hunt for the elusive faithful employee. That is why Shell is advertising in every medium imaginable. On the other side of the divide, job hunters are eagerly looking for who will hire them. That is also the reason job seekers comb nooks and crannies looking for a job, registering with employment agencies etc.

How does these two finally get to meet?
Due to the volume of job related enquiries to Nigeria Galleria, we have decided to provide job links, resources and articles to our visitors who are in the job seeking phase of their lives. We hope to, in our own little way assist in making the meeting happen; by opening up the playing field so that employer can reach out far and wide, and employees can have better access to information. We are not an employment agency (the match makers) nor do we have any links with the companies/organizations listed herein.

You will useful articles and tips on every aspect of job hunting on this site,all you have to do is to keep in touch.

One final word; before you go looking for a job, discover your dreams. Have a clear cut short term and long term personal development plan en-route fulfilling your dreams. This plan will determine which jobs you go for, and how long you stay on each job.“If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there”.

Happy job hunting!
