We all know getting a job in Ghana is not all that easy but there are several things some Ghanaian youth do that make it more difficult for them to get jobs. Here are some of them.
1. Depending On Miracles
Many Ghanaians are die-hard believers; they are people who are sentimental about religion. If you keep waiting for a miracle to happen without sending out your CVs, then you are most likely to remain jobless for a long time.
Remember faith without work is useless. You have to be willing to push yourself beyond prayers and be ready to do the little jobs around you.
2. Waiting For The Dream Job
If you are part of the Ghanaian youths who keep waiting for some dream job, then you are not ready to work at all. In this part of the world, graduates no longer have the opportunity of getting desired their desired jobs.
The faster you realize that, the better it will be for you. You may have to take other jobs while building your portfolio. This will give you an edge over other people when you finally land the dream job.
3. Not Having A Skill
In this present age and time, having a skill is a prerequisite to getting a job. You cannot afford to remain jobless and not be willing to develop yourself. Most graduates take jobs that are not in any way related to their academic qualifications.
Many of the job applicants who have one or two skills in addition to their professional and academic qualifications stand a good chance of being employed. And when at crossroads, the skill acquired may also be a saving grace in hard times.
4. Submitting One Type Of CV And Cover Letter For Every Application
Every job has its own requirements; it is important for you to construct your CV and the cover letter based on the things looked out for.
Many graduates believe the cover letter s do not matter; HR personnel take the appearance of your cover letter and CV into consideration. Writing your CV in a way that suits the job makes you a better candidate for the job.
5. Total Faith In Connection
There is ever possibility that you will remain jobless for long if you rely on that uncle or aunt that is ‘mouthed’.
The moment you realize you are on your own, the easier it will be for you to intensify the search for a job.
Do not be part of those who always think you will not land a job because ‘they know those they are going to give the job to.’ This mindset will prevent you from trying as you will overtime lose the zeal to apply for jobs in places you do not know anyone.
