Easy way to job-hunt
This is a review by Edozie Udeze of The Nation Newspaper. In The Nation on Sunday, on December 09, 2012, page 52 .

This is a comprehensive and reliable guide for those in need of jobs. Job Search Guru’s Job-hunting Manual was purposely written by Olu Oyeniran to guide and sensitise people in search of employment. Oyeniran did not mince words when he stated that most people fail to get a particular job not necessarily because they are not qualified, but because they did not prepare for it very well. This manual leads you well into the heart of the matter.
So for you to get a job, for you to be in the position to attract a good job to yourself, there are many essential stages to take. You need to know what employers need from you as a job-seeker and then tailor your Curriculum Vitae to suit that purpose. Oyeniran describes this as the very first important step towards a successful job hunt. It is a process that needs to be mastered and followed conscientiously.
This is why he includes how to write what he prescribes as a powerful C.V and also discovering yourself, skills, aptitudes and interests as the first bold steps. In reading the manual, a prospective job seeker needs to master the following:
How to uncover hidden opportunities in the job market. For, to him, the motion that there are no jobs is an illusion; preparing for an interview and negotiating the pay and so on. These are very essential issues.
Therefore, the central point here is not just to read the manual. The total import of it is to study it, master the ingredients therein and discover truly how to get to that level you desire for yourself. Although the manual is not meant to create jobs per se, yet it is structured to serve as a leeway in many plausible ways.
To make the manual easy to read, the author divides it into many sections. Each section handles and simplifies the subject-matter it handles. They are: A vital background, Getting a job is a job, Who are you? Powerful C.V/Resume, face to face interview and lots more.
Each segment of the process of getting a job, in the reckoning of the author, is as important as the job itself. It thrills the employer when a job-seeker truly knows what he wants. Not only that, a job-seeker who is poised for the best ought to be at his best in the process of moving around for the job.
On page 30, Oyeniran says: You probably know this fact. 85% of available jobs are never advertised. So to really get a good job, you need to be proactive. Follow these suggested steps. First analyse the economic and business environment of the society”. Then go into details to master what happens in the different sectors of the economy and the market sectors. In which area of it do you really fit in or are interested in your job-hunt? Study this very well and then convince yourself of what you desire or deserve.
After you have done this, try to develop special interest in certain areas where you can then become proficient. Read relevant journals and document thereto. Then open your horizon in terms of attending workshops and seminars and so on. Where necessary, study beyond your scope to be able to know more.
Even though the manual is total and comprehensive in this subject, there are avoidable errors in some pages. These errors though minor in certain respects should have been avoided in the first place. The printing is not clear on some pages because the quality of the paper is low. The author needs to guide against these few errors in the next edition.
Moreover, if these strategies and tactics highlighted in this manual are effectively followed by those who need them, more than 60% of the problem if job-hunt would have been solved. It is a manual that needs the total attention of teeming Nigerian youths in search of employment.
