5 Top Websites for Job Seekers in Ghana

-


In this technologically advance era, some tasks that were once cumbersome and time consuming can now be done simply by the click of a few buttons. One of the areas where this has proven to be beneficial has been the emergence of employment/job search websites (or portals). The phenomenon of having to move from office to office to tender job applications is fast becoming a thing of the past. 

 One only has to sit behind a computer with internet access to submit job applications to several companies in a matter of a few hours, if not minutes. I have occasionally submitted over thirty applications at a sitting. This I did through a couple of websites that feature job vacancy listings. The sad reality however is that many job seekers are not exploring this viable option perhaps due in part to the ignorance of some.
            
Some job search sites offer employer reviews, career and job-search advice, CV writing services and describe different job descriptions or employers. Through a job search website a prospective employee can locate and fill out a job application or submit resumes over the internet for the advertised position. Some job seekers have subsequently received invitations for interviews whereas others have actually landed the jobs they applied for. 

 The good news is that there are several websites that feature job vacancies in Ghana and any job seeker in Ghana (especially the unemployed graduate) can make the most of this window of opportunity. In this post, I will take a brief look at five top job search websites in Ghana. A few others will be considered in my next post.

Bussinessghana.com
This website is a multi-purpose website that features news, adverts and daily job listings among others. It is by far my favorite job search portal. It is easy to use and time saving. Unlike many other job search portals in Ghana, the job seeker is not required to create an account with the website as a prerequisite for applying for jobs posted on this site. No payments are required whatsoever. 

 In a matter of a minute or two, you can submit a job application for a job vacancy posted on this site. And by the way, job vacancies are posted on this site daily. About 95% of job interviews I have ever attended (or been called for) and have ever landed have been in response to job applications I submitted via this website.

Jobberman.com.gh

This site was ranked Ghana`s No. 1 job search site by Alexa.com and is perhaps the fastest-growing employment website in Ghana. Jobberman.com.gh attracts more than 6,000 unique job seekers a month, based on website traffic. 


Job vacancies are featured in specific industry categories on this site daily. Such job vacancies range from entry level jobs to executive positions. Viewing job listings and submitting job applications on this site is free. However, you can only submit job applications after you have registered with or as it were, created an account with the site.



Though founded in 2010, GhanaCurrentJobs.com was launched in October 26, 2011 as an online recruitment portal that provides a platform which enables employers connect with candidates. This site has since successfully pioneered web based job recruitment in Ghana, delivering great value to both recruiters and job seekers. 

 GhanaCurrentJobs.com features regular updates of job vacancies, affording job seekers in Ghana the opportunity to browse in search of suitable jobs and to submit job applications. Creating an account with this site is not a prerequisite for applying for jobs posted on this site. Emails of employers are usually featured below the job listings. Consequently, applications will ordinarily be submitted via email or post.

Yet another phenomenal job search site in Ghana is Joblistghana.com. JoblistGhana is a part of Joblist International which provides services in over five countries. Joblistghana.com is neither owned nor run by a recruitment agency. Basically Joblistghana.com acts as aggregator for jobs in Ghana. It features job vacancies in Ghana by industry categorization and regional categorization. 

 Joblistghana.com is designed to make the process of finding a job on the internet easier for the end user and is intended to help everyone by connecting job seekers with employers at all levels. Neither fees nor the creation of an account is required for accessing job listings and submitting applications for the same. You can have free regular and up to date job vacancy alerts emailed to you by subscribing for free on the site. All that will be required is your email address; nothing more.

 Lainejobs.com
This job search website is owned and run by L`Aine Services Ltd., a market leader in the human resource/recruitment industry in Ghana. Lainejobs.com features job openings that can be viewed for free.  However, to apply for any job vacancy on this site, the job seeker is required to sign in/create an account and his or her profile must be at least 20% completed. 

The good news is that by registering with L'Aine, you become part of a database of job seekers that is the primary source of candidates for L`Ane Services` recruiters. Once the registration is completed, L`Aine`s recruiters will be furnished with insight into your education, work history and the type of jobs you are looking for to help match you to the right kind of job.

 If you are a job seeker, do make some time to check out these sites. This may perhaps be the very MAJOR STEP you require to land your DREAM JOB. To your job hunting success!!

1    Photo: Dr. Nabeel Qureshi       It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who once opined: “It does not matter how long you live, but how well you live it.” Lucius Annaeus similarly noted: “Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.” Put another way, one writer state d : "It is not the years in your life that counts, it`s the life in your years." So apt !!! This brief blog post is in loving memory of a young man whose life and ministry impacted the lives of several thousands across the globe.

Image source: www.scottiehobbs.com/wp/content/uploads/2013/02/success             It will be recalled that in an earlier post I explored four pitfalls we ought to avoid while we pursue our dreams, goals, and aspirations. I took readers through an enlightening discussion of the pitfalls of self-doubt, fear, distractions, and complacency. I argued that it is essential that we circumvent these pitfalls if we truly want to see our dreams come true. I demonstrated how these pitfalls obstruct our pursuits and how we can appropriately deal with them. It is also important to recall that I expressly stated that I had a lot more to share on this subject and will do so in my next post. Consequently, I will be sharing in this post three more pitfalls we must of necessity steer clear of in our quest to translate our dreams into realities.            1.       Procrastination             Some well-meaning persons never get to the point where they put wheels to their dreams. They are

This Work Ethic Will Make Every Well-meaning Employer Smile

Image source: http://naldzgraphics.net A couple of years back I was one of four young graduates from institutions of higher learning who had been recruited after our one year of compulsory National Service to do a year of voluntary service with a Junior High School. Each one of us had a unique approach to duty and in as much as every one of us contributed our bit I was particularly impressed by the work ethic of one of our colleagues.             David was a voluntary service personnel who would frequently report to work much earlier than most staff members and yet be one of the few to exit the school premises long after school hours was over. He would get so absorbed with his duties to the extent that he sometimes forfeit his meals while on the job; he was evidently passionate about his work. Image source: https://thearmitageeffect.wordpress.com One of the admirable traits that stood out for me was David`s commitment to continual improvement upon his
