I quit job hunting when I saw my CV been used by aboki in one Suya t.

Thank you for the space

No. Idea

ModestGal:
H

Why did you take my position?.

just a matter of time

In Nigeria of Buhari? Who you know is how long it will take for you to get a job.
The country is so messed up right now that making money through yahoo and scamming people is easier than getting a job.
There's also little guarantee that the system wouldn't kill anything you start as a business.
Nigeria don't care to use a French language graduate in the position of an ant and vice versa as long as you're connected to the grid.
So all I can really wish you is goodluck

You just have to keep applying for as many vacancies as possible and hope to get called up.

If its in this Nigeria, my brother just have something else going on in your life while waiting for all these HR. Remove States and Federal jobs, real and well paying 9-5 jobs with stability in Nigeria is not up to 10

Not usually long, if you have what's been required by various recruitng firms you're good to go.

It depends on what jobs are open and how your resume fits in.

Immediately there is an opportunity, you will be called as long as you fit into the position. God will make it easy

Few weeks or months, it depends.

No time frame;
1. you can be called anytime
2. you can never be called

When you know Oga at the top?

There is really no time frame. For some it could be less than a month for others it can take 10 years. I will advise you to have a side means of income. Find something that brings in money for your daily, weekly or monthly as you wait.

In Naija of today, if you get short leg it takes ages but if you get Longlet is immidiate

It all depends on your assesments result and how urgent the opening you are interviewed for.

Some organisation just carry out assessment, so they can create a database of potential fit for a particular role, even if that particular role is currently occupied... incase the role is vacant, they pull from the database of assessed potential candidates.

20 years if you dont have any connection


1 min after if you have

Let's wait for the elders...

Lols

You don't know naija, it may takes long, and it may not


Take for instance, I applied for a job in April, they called us in June for interview, till now, we haven't hear anything from them. It's all of us ooo

So in Nigeria. It can take a year

Hmmm

Not far from the truth. 90% jobs are mushroom companies.

In Nigeria just remove your mind

Depends on the organization/company or urgency.
Some like a week or two, others months. Some you fit even start that day . Banks usually take the longest I think. My interview with the current company I work with took about 3 months (different stages) before Medicals.

This isn't long nau. I know of a job that the final hires resumed 4 years after they applied

If you are chasing clouts with this I hope you get to experience it
