Is It impossible for young people to find a good job today without help from someone? Or do you think that if you know what you want and are looking for in a job, that it can actually be easy to find without help?

I do not think so. If the a fresh graduate is qualified to have the job, then he or she can be hired. However, they need to be persistent to fine the right jobs for them.

In my country, you can't get a good job paying mid level salary on your own. All those kind of jobs require referrala and connection. We are not even going to talk about the high paying jobs.

In my location, you do not need special connections to find a job. But you need to be persistent and always upgrade your skills and knowledge which meet with market demands.

it is really bad in my country, Nigeria. Getting a good job here is really difficult you need to pay for a mid level salary to even get so it's that bad.

Yes being a fresher it is difficult to find a job here. Once you get experience there are more possibilities that you may get a good job.

In Nigeria, it is almost impossible to get job without connection. No matter how brilliant and smart you are, you need a connection to get a good paying job. Private companies can be easier to get job by merit but not government jobs.

Over here in my country, it is always very difficult for you to find a very good paying job without a very good connection. This is because most good jobs are reserved for people that have influential people.

In my country, I have never heard that CBN is recruiting. @Heatman, @cherry123, have you heard? Those kind of jobs don't just happen. No matter how qualified you are, you won't hear when they are recruiting uncle's someone gives you the hint.

No, I do not think this is so, I got it simply by sending resumes and many friends of mine the same in this way, it is true that entering thanks to someone is easier but it is not the only way to do it.

That's right I'm also yet to know or hear about it. maybe it is always internal recruiting you know even those working there will always want to fix their people so it becomes difficult to penetrate from outside.

Nowadays, it has even spread to the small 25k teaching jobs. Someone in the school would just connect you that there is vacancy in their school. Getting jobs without connection in Nigeria is practically impossible.

It is sad to say that some hired employees are products of nepotism. That is why I resigned from my previous job in one of the local government agencies in my city. The root cause is I cannot deal or work with an incompetent project manager.

Nepotism has become the order of the day that some organizations don't even recruit any longer. They just silently replace. Even government jobs have become like that.
