A young Nigerian lady, Favour Onaruyi-Obasuyi, has taken her unemployment frustration to LinkedIn as she spoke about her several failed attempts at getting a job.

For the few that she was able to get an interview, their salaries according to her were very low. Favour said even people stopped accepting her LinkedIn connection requests, a situation she reasoned could have been caused by her job-seeking situation.
