Unfortunately, there are lots of skills to learn; but not all of them can get you hired easily.

These top 5 skills in Nigeria according to opinion is based on the amount of job searches that are related to them.

Here are the top 5 skills in Nigeria below;


1. IT SKILLS
This is among the top 5 skills in Nigeria, and it wouldn’t come as a surprise to many, but the surprise here is that not every IT skill is actually a hot skill in Nigeria. There are some IT skills that are considered drab skills; it means are not always needed and no much vacancy advert from them. So the hot skills under the IT sector include;

Programming: Your ability to write codes using various programming languages like Python, C#, Java and a host of them to create wonderful exciting pieces of stuff like websites and computer software. This is one of the leading IT skills in 2017 because of its complexity, thereby creating a huge gap in the supply level of programmers.

9 Things you should stop doing when applying for jobs online

Before you apply for a job online, make sure you don't do the following;

1. Forward CV’s from previously forwarded emails – Shows you’re too lazy and unobservant. How can your email contain forwarded info of previous applications? Be wise, delete it. While you’re at it, make sure to write an accompanying email and not just forward a blank email.

2. Forget to include a cover letter – Research the company and be as specific as possible in your letter. It shows you’re not lazy like the average person out there is. It also helps you highlight how your unique skills and experience will help the employer. Again, make sure the email containing your CV is not empty, or says something dumb like, ‘see attached’. If you’re too busy to write something to a potential employer, then the employer will be too busy to look at your CV.

3. Use comic sans – We’re not in kindergarten, use a serious font. This doesn’t apply of course if you’re applying to become a clown or to work in a comic shop or kids related company.
