The year 2020 came with a bag full of tricks, every month seemed to hold a new surprise. The most daunting event is that of the Covid-19 pandemic that literally took the world by shock. But two pandemics are clamping down hard on Nigerian youth: The global health pandemic and unemployment.

According to new research by the National Bureau of Statistics, unemployment in Nigeria is certainly at an all-time high with over 40% of youths unemployed or underemployed.

As an individual, you can only but try to create or seize opportunities as they come; there isn’t a specific answer or routine you must carry out to be successful in your job search or career. But with an overcrowded job marketplace in our country, there are things you could do to give yourself a fighting chance.

An estimated 85% of our population is under the age of 40 making Nigeria by far the demographically youngest of the world’s eighth-most populated countries. The peculiarities of this kind of market are that everyone is desperate to be successful, they want the best jobs, they want great income, and also live a good life.

Fresh graduates, young professionals, and even experienced professionals have so many obstacles thrown at them every day, all in a bid to find a successful career path; but amid chaos lies a solution. One of the leading recruitment companies in Nigeria, Jobberman is constantly researching and providing solutions, solidifying partnerships to create dignified pathways for Nigerian youths to access quality opportunities; endless opportunities for anybody to become somebody without having to know “somebody”.

Despite these adversities, one of the leading recruitment companies in Nigeria, Jobberman is constantly providing solutions and solidifying partnerships to make it easier for Nigerian youths to find quality opportunities.

Gaining the attention of employers on the Jobberman platform

Be among the new workforce

Recruiters view skills as critical when looking at job candidates. It’s important to list your skills—both hard and soft—on your profile. And if you don’t have all of the required soft skills for the job you want, the Jobberman Soft Skills course on Coursera is a great way to build them and increase your chances of getting hired.

The power of online learning has never been so apparent. Over the past few months, Jobberman has provided Soft Skills training for over 80,000 Nigerian youth from different states across the country.
