How is this possible?

It means you are applying for 107 jobs monthly

That is 3 to 4 jobs daily. If this is true, you really tried. You the definition of persistence

But you are counting weekends
It is actually 5.3 jobs per day!

7yrs or 7 months?

D00msDay:
7months not 7yrs. Make una dey read na.

If 7 months, he was applying for 5.3 jobs a day (no weekends)

If 7 years, he was applying for 2.1 jobs per week

Which is more likely?

Ur observation is nice but 7yrs is a long time being jobless in a foreign land. Hw was he able to cope paying bills, feeding etc. Except for sure he was being selective in the nature of jobs being applied.

But my guess is still 7months. He must have exaggerated the "over 750 jobs applied"

I didn't see 7 years, but 7 months. Where the hell did you read yours?

Okay.
I appreciate.
ttmacoy:
The story makes no sense, 7 years to get his first job sounds extreme, so what has he been doing find the last 7 years?

The only thing I can think of is he was applying only for jobs he wasn’t qualified for.

He even keep record? Lol or maybe he applied to the same place 750 times and was finally accepted on his 751 attempt. Guy man cannot say he was unemployed. Simply say he no one do any other job apart from that job. He get other job but job he does not consider job.he get standard and levels . Hunger never fire am or bills. Someone must have got his back

Question is, how was he able to cope for 7 months unless he came with lots of money. If he could cope for 7 months, he could extend it to one year, two years, 7 years, forever!

DyshApp:
Nigerian man’s persistence pays off as he gets his first job in the UK after 7 years during which he applied for 750 different jobs, 7 years after arriving the country with no employment.

The man revealed that he had arrived in the United Kingdom 7 years ago but couldn’t secure a job.

However, he had persisted in applying for job at different companies.

He stated that he had sent out a total of 750 applications until one was finally accepted.

The UK-based Nigerian man shared a photo of him in corporate already at his place of work ready to commence his tasks.

Which type of jobs was he applying for I wonder.
Na make them say make una dey learn employable skills before setting your legs aboard, maybe he didn't want to take a menial job to start with.
He meant proper qualification job.There is no way anyone can survive in UK for 7 months without doing any job at all. How was he paying his bills.Doing menial job is a way of acclimatization to the environment.

It's 7 months not 7 yrs. Read the caption on the guy's photo.
Besides, he is sure doing odd jobs he doesn't like, while applying for the work he likes.
