Some candidates are overqualified or possess skills that don’t match the requirements of available roles, making it challenging to find a job that fits both their skills and expectations.

Many Nigerians lack access to strong professional networks, which are crucial for learning about job opportunities, gaining industry insights, and receiving referrals in today’s competitive job market. It is hard to get noticed.

Even with good qualifications, many job seekers fail to impress employers during interviews due to a lack of preparation, poor communication skills, or misunderstanding of the role, leading to missed opportunities.

Some job seekers demand salaries that are not aligned with industry standards or their level of experience, leading to difficulties in securing offers or being considered for positions, limiting their opportunities.

Many industries require certifications or accreditations that job seekers may not possess, limiting their eligibility for roles and making it harder to compete with qualified candidates.

Many candidates are unwilling to relocate for job opportunities, which can significantly reduce their chances of finding a job, especially in regions with fewer openings.
