Unemployment in the country is on high side, graduates in Nigeria are more like beggars. That is why it is important to learn some skill and sustain yourself.

I read a story from this section that made front page about a guy (abi na girl) that said his aunt is begging him to take a job with Jevinik with 80k salary and free acomodation. he said hes bin jobless for a year and needs advice whether 2 take up d job or not!
That thread realy anoyed a lot of people including myself. Ok a little story abt myself.

Am a graduate with 2:1 and guess what my salary is? 45k! and i spend 7k on tfair every month with a very wicked boss who sees himself as God. I got dat job after a year just like dat op but unlike him, i hustled hard for dat job which i saw here on nl, had to even borow money for tfair.

but dat my boss is the reason am still on dat job cos hes preparing me for sth bigger, i wont run away like others. there are a lot of things i ve learnt and am still learning dat will come very handy very soon.
45k is even better,you never see 7k huh for a 2:1 graduate for that matter. I believe everyone would always have their days of little beginnings...

A 2:1 graduate, with such unrefined writing? You just botched a chance to market yourself. Not surprised you are poorly prized!

Don't you think you got him wrong? I think what he meant is that his pay package includes housing and transport alawances of one million naira and twenty thousand naira respectively.
Even if he gives landlord one million naira it is not a dash but only paying for a service.

How did he write? Some people must see something wrong with what everybody does.It is quite unfortunate. If you are employed, swear that it was the way you write that got you the job or long leg and/or long pen*s if you are a girl. Mschwwwwwwwwwww

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to announce that we shall be holding a FREE training
session in employability and competency skills next month in Abuja.

Why Should I attend the Training?
We feel more comfortable presenting interns who have been through our
training, in essence we can only vouch for candidates that we have
trained. The training provides Candidates with indispensable
professional and personal skills which make them more appealing to
employers. The training is a 2-day training, 9am to 1pm comprising
sessions like, Project Management, Effective Report Writing, Leadership
and Workplace Ethics, Time and Resource Management, Personal Branding
and Networking, Proposal Writing, CV writing and Interview Simulation.

We have placed over 100 trained interns in organization such as Dafinone
Consulting, Goge Africa, NOI Polls, CSR-IN-Action, CREEDS Energy,
Sustainable Health Initiative (SHI), and a host of others.

The training Dates are as follows:
Abuja -Thursday 8th and Friday 9th October 2015

IT IS FREE
Typically, if you were to pay, the fees are meant to cover the cost of hiring the venue of the training and provide refreshments to facilitators who we cannot afford to pay, but they have volunteered to support the programme. We are incurring all the bills for you; so, you have nothing to worry about, as this training is completely free. Our facilitators are managers and senior staff from different organizations.

there are graduates paid 8k to 15k a month and some even have wife and children, so you can imagine how much they suffer to sustain.
