Jarus:
Thanks guys. I'm humbled.

Jarus, sorry to ask but how many years do you think is relevant experience for someone in the Big 4 to enter into a company like Seven Energy? Not necessarily a managerial position.

Champella:


Mehn! Broz u tight o. Which skol u dey na?

Wow! E make brains be dat na. Make i follow u so we go rub minds sha

Good thread.

Therealadonye is worthy of mention too. He provided some aptitude test questions which helped me. I can never forget him for that.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Brother, even if i never mentioned you, believe me you're in the hearts of so many people whom you helped with some information. I recognise you as well. May God bless you abundantly. Amen

Coming 8 on this list for Scholarship and job info is worth the mention, attending to millions of Nigerians on my own busy www..com website and having time to be on Nairaland is what my secretary is yet to figure out how I have been spell bound by my Nairaland fans........

Good Post @OP,

Jarus, u worth d mention, the articles of your blog are distilled, i applaud your creativity...

hmm...brb please.

Medical docs hardly need career advice

Feex:
Hmmm...good list. I think nitrogen, tiimmy, bigdreams, olutola88 and my humble self should have been acknowledged at the barest minimum. I also feel dmainman should have been in the Top 10 list ahead of some others in the list. Champella, do edit your list to include him and knock off one person to the acknowledgement note. Yamakuza was also a great contributor and should have been included in the top 10 if not for the fact that he doesn't comment as much again. He should be acknowledged at least.
But list is abt 90% accurate. Special kudos to xfire, Jarus, imag5 and dmainman.

Mr. Feex please I need your advice!
I'm a graduate of Mechanical engineering, though I finished with a CGPA of 3.29/5, I have never for once allowed my finishing with a 2.2 detter me from pursuing my dream of becoming a true professional in a not too distant future. The journey hasn't been smooth though as I have had to settle for a maintenance technician job in a rather small FMCG company for the time being. Though I get paid a very small salary, one thing the job has helped me to discover is the line of Mechanical engineering I would really love to pursue a career - Plant Maintenance and asset management with a great desire to get certified as Reliability engineer someday.

My concern right now is my job responsibility as it only
requires me to work as a technician meaning I don't get to
carry out the maintenance functions of a maintenance
engineer viz planning, designing, scheduling and monitoring of preventive and predictive maintenance programs, hence I feel the need for me to pursue professional trainings. But the only trainings available are administered online, so do you think potential employers would fancy such trainings as I would be spending a lot to undertake them, or I should just wait till a job opportunity where I would fully work in the capacity of a maintenance engineer presents itself and then learn through the ropes?

Thanks for your time, your opinions and advice would be
really appreciated.

NB: Apologies for the long write up, just really feel I need to
come out clear enough.

I think a postgraaduate degree will be more useful to you. Since your current job deals with maintenance activity which is your career path of interest, I will advise that you do it for a while to gain some experience, even though you are technician before actually pursuing a masters degree.
A professional course may not be of much help right now. What you need is either experience or a postgraduate degree if no suitable job is forthcoming. A professional certification can only cap it off.

Thanks for your timely response. I will continue with the job for a little longer while also looking out for better offers. I'm definitely going to go for my masters degree someday, but I just feel experience outweighs it.

Could you please be a mentor, I know you're also an engineer.
