Looking for a Job?

Unemployment has become a major concern in Nigeria.

Most candidates don't stand out enough from their competition at job interviews.

At first glance, it's puzzling. The job market is finally looking something like its old self, with unemployment on the rise.

Yet, as anyone trying to change jobs (or get one) these days knows all too well, plenty of employers are dragging their feet, taking longer to hire than at any time in more than a decade.

What's the holdup? Communications and Brand Expert, Shola Okpodu, who is also the  Group Managing Director of School Hunters says at least some of it is "due to the way candidates present themselves, and how they perform during interviews." That's not all bad, since, unlike the state of the economy as a whole, "these are issues that are within job seekers' control."

Previous  Job Hunters workshop  organised by School Hunters showed that a large majority of job hunters:

1. Don't stand out enough from other candidates

2.Most job seekers don't talk enough, or at all, about "which personal attributes differentiate them from their competition, and describe what unique value they can bring. One way to do that persuasively is to "read the job description carefully and perfect your pitch to include accomplishments that match the job specs and so on

It is on this premise that school hunters created a Job Hunters workshop to brush up applicants comportment,  tailor their skills appropriately so as to prepare them adequately for the job market.

However,  as an entrepreneur myself, I strongly believe that everyone has the potential to be creative and develop ideas. We all have entrepreneurial abilities if only we search our hearts deeply and let it manifest. But I have found out that even though ideas abound, many do not know how to put together well tailored proposals for sponsorship or buy in.  For those who have an interest in establishing Non -governmental organisations, seeking grant has been an issue. How then do you put together a proper professional business  proposal or grant request if you do not learn how it's done?

At this upcoming training, sessoned facilitators shall be pratically teaching proposal and grant writing for those who may wish to start their own businesses or even those who get a job as business development officers.

We would also be dwelling on work ethics and much more because it is one thing to prepare for a job and it is another to keep the job.. what is the thin line between these two? All participants shall be learning " what every employer is looking for in a prospective applicant"

All these said School Hunters is lending it's expertise in these area  as part of its corporate social responsibility to job seekers at a very subsidised rate of N3,500 only. It is our vision  to rebrand the present crop of youths, both unemployed and employed so that they would be able to compete favourably globally.

The details of the upcoming training are as follows:
