Here's mine: Self Confidence - Knowing your stuff & Believing you can do It.

Drop yours, let's share

Mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Not in Nigeria were Connection is all that matters.

for females: just make sure you package properly, with willingness to grace the Bed of the Managers

A good Uni/College should include basic principles of customers service to their modules which will teach them all of those mentioned skills, but Nigeria own is very different.

sg

just unfortunate our universities do not train students on acquiring these skills. these are skills that every graduate should readily have.

Efficiency- using less to achieve more.

@ OP, u forget to add good looks man! 4 d ladies they need nice arse and bo#bs man. U digg? Na 9ja we dey ooo!

Bleep uppps

11. Connection

Skills to retain you and not necessarily to hire you, because your proficiency in some of these may not be measurable until you're employed and begin to work.

However, I have seen people that are poor in verbal and written communication and still retain their job in Nigeria, due to other skills. I have worked with people that cannot speak three sentences without bomb, yet they keep their job becaus ethey are very effective in their their job. And I'm not talking about public sector o, Im talking about oil companies.

Overall, nice list.

11.Forkking skills.

Basic Computer / Office Suite knowledge
It is very frustrating when the IT guy is called from his hallowed cool chambers to help find a missing mouse pointer

Una no go kill person with all these things.
With God, all things are possible for me.

Thanks for all these. Just to add, honesty is still the best policy. Thanks!

Lastly there must be jobs for you to qualify for. Let there be jobs, we will sure be qualified and show these skills

If getting a job in Nigeria depends on these 10 key points, I won't still be roaming the job/vacancies section daily.

In my work environment, we have been focusing on recruiting talents with innovative skills and passionate about what they bring to the table. Additionally, we look for fun individuals to spice up work. In summary, passion, innovation and fun should be added to the 10 skills listed. PIF

eddiebruk: Mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Not in Nigeria were Connection is all that matters.

for females: just make sure you package properly, with willingness to grace the Bed of the Managers


A good Uni/College should include basic principles of customers service to their modules which will teach them all of those mentioned skills, but Nigeria own is very different.

Balderdash!
No good coy wanting to project ahead will employ people only on nepotism, be it in Nigeria or elsewhere.
Stop spreading fallacies. Generalizing a personal experience can be misleading.
