Do people really get jobs from these vacancies posted online and from job sites like Jobzilla, jobberman and the rest. How real is that?

I can say authoritatively that 99.9% of it is either fake of already assigned to some people but just make advert to follow due process. Or may I say 99.9% of it is GNLD companies grin

Jobberman etc I know nothing about: get connected on LinkedIn: it is a professional site for job-seekers. The site is full of HR specialist as it help them to know whom you are at a glance.

The site has been trustworthy for me so far.

It's rarely real.

Good question! Instead of Just browsing Job-Sites, you can look for the site of the Company you are interested in....Try filling their Job form or check if they have any available vacancies, then apply.

Your question is like asking if google search results are real or not. I dont know if these sites the jobs they post or not. I got called for a volunteer position I applied for on jobberman. Another time, I also got invitation for a job I did not apply for. I checked the organisation out and it was real. When I called the organisation, I was told they had gotten my cv from jobberman. Thats my experience though. Others may have a different experience.

90% of online vacancies are scams while the remaining 10% are for highly experienced professionals, not fresh graduates.

Vacancies are there yet to be filled while some doubting Thomas are here crying that there are no jobs. Will it kill you if you attend one of those numerous interviews and find out for yourself if it's real or not? There were two openings in my place of work recently and i posted it here. Just few people applied and i'm sure there are a million and one people that are jobless out there yet qualified for these positions. But because they want to form smart and make mouth that they have never been victims of job scams before, they just ignore these adverts. I got my 1st job from jobberman and my current job from nairaland. when i hear people say there are no jobs in Nigeria, i just laugh at them. Be there doubting o
