Nigerian man’s persistence pays off as he gets his first job in the UK after 7 years during which he applied for 750 different jobs, 7 years after arriving the country with no employment.

The man revealed that he had arrived in the United Kingdom 7 years ago but couldn’t secure a job.

However, he had persisted in applying for job at different companies.

He stated that he had sent out a total of 750 applications until one was finally accepted.

The UK-based Nigerian man shared a photo of him in corporate already at his place of work ready to commence his tasks.

Why is getting a job in the UK hard?

I the day I landed my dream job in the UK. It’s all about consistency. I submitted over 80 job applications until I finally got my current job.

I pray that anyone who is looking for a good job will find one soon.

The media and dishonest bloggers are one of our problems in this country. The person said 7 months. But the delusioñal poster deceitfully quoted 7 years.
