NYSC: 8 Skills You Must Learn Before Passing by Nobody: 8:32pm On Aug 03, 2015 |
If you missed the thread put up by Goldenheart on 8 things you must do before passing out from NYSC, you can read it HERE. This thread is to highlight the skills you must learn, whether male or female, before you pass out from NYSC. Learning at least 2 of them will equip you for the hard life most ex-corpers are facing outside. Learn more than 5 of them and you won't think of searching for a job. 1. Computer/Internet I just can't overemphasize this one. We are in 2015 not 1990. If you can't use a computer by now and you pass out from NYSC without learning the skill you are on a long thing. For your information, most companies are going digital and CVs are no longer written by hand. To build an online profile or even open an email, you need to know how to use a computer and the internet. Imagine some corpers will know how to chat on whatsapp but can't download the app through the internet. Some know how to use BBM, 2GO, WHATSAPP just name it but they don't know how use OPERAMINI to browse, search for information or carry out other important internet based activities that will enhance the career. Well, a word is enough for the wise. 2. Agriculture Just choose any specific area whether rearing of animals or planting of crops and learn the in and out of it. You will have ample time to practice on a small scale especially if you are serving in a rural area. Who knows, agriculture may give you your first 1 million naira/dollar instead of one fairytale white coller job. The wise ones will understand. If you need ideas please run to Agriculture section of Nairaland. You will never regret doing so. 3. Driving Many job opportunities have passed me by because I don't know how to drive. I wish I knew earlier, I would have learnt while I was serving. Now wey things don hard for me, how I go take learn am come be problem cos I can't afford a driving school. Thats my story, do you want your story to be a similar one? Make the right choice now. Learn to drive. Save something out of that tiny allowance and use it to learn. You won't regret doing so. 4. Barbing Having this skill can fetch you some income while you await that big job that will change your story so please don't let it go. 5. Make Up Ladies you suppose know na. Trust me, you can buy a hummer jeep if you learn this skill very well. Who no dey make up for Naija? Even Baba Buhari still dey make up. Imagine the money that lady is making. Go buy make up kit begin practice sharp sharp. Before one year you go don turn expert. 6. Shoe/Bag/Bead Making Thank God we are no longer in the days of Baba Jonathan when people wore no shoes. As long as people wear shoes, carry bags and adorn themselves with beads, your services will always be needed. Do I need to expantiate more? 7. Cooking/Baking/Frying This is the best opportunity to sharpen your curlinary skills. Go online and find out how to prepare any meal. Prepare small dishes that your alawee can carry and improve on yourself. Do you think people will start using moulded Eba to celebrate social events like marriages, birthdays, etc? Cakes! Cakes! Cakes! = Naira! Naira! Naira! 8. Public Speaking Well if you have all these skill and you don't know how to sell it, thats a big problem on its own. I therefore encourage you to learn to interact well with people so as to sell or market yourself. I hope you will utilize this information to your advantage. Experience is a good teacher, just pray not to be on the wrong side of the learning curve. Thanks. Source: Martins301 65 Likes 7 Shares |

Doxie69: knowing how to Drive or having a drivers license may be a requirement for getting job nowadays. For example, check the ongoing guiness recruitment. It is an essential skill so I encourage u to learn it. 3 Likes |

Toilet key keeping If you find yourself where there are too many persons closely living together, you can volunteer to be the toilet key keeper. Permission will be taken from you before anyone heads into the toilet for anything. And if it's a place where people pay to defecate, hmmm!!! You don hammer be that. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Doxie69: Driving is part of the skills every youths must have: only God knows what the next one or two years of graduation will be: get ready for anything. That was how a man wanted to help a friend of mine to get a well paid driving job in a corporate organization where graduate who can communicate efficiently is needed: the job is just to drive the Chairman of the Board of Full Time basis with promotion and allowances for working late. He could have secured the job without a valid application because the man really likes his integrity and his well polished physical appearance, but loose the job because he cannot drive. Sometimes things do not work the way we think it ought to especially in Nigeria. One has to be dynamic and be multi-tasking. I have seen a PA's job where driving skill is one of the requirements. 4 Likes |
