The dream of every graduate is to secure a good job and live a financial stable life, but unemployment and circumstances have made many graduates to settle for low profile jobs

These low profile jobs makes life unbearable for graduates which comes with poor salary package, terrible working condition and other derogatory factors.

So quickly let's discuss on the categories of jobs that can frustrate the life of Nigeria Graduates;

1. GNLD

The problem with this company is not the product quality but the marketing strategies they adopt in selling their products. It's an insult to tell a graduate to merchandise drug products under intense sun where customers can actually walk in to a friendly atmosphere pharmacy store. Graduates working with them never cease to complain about their ridiculous staff welfare and poor career growth.

2. Insurance Marketing

Frankly speaking and general summarising, many Nigerians don't believe in insurance policy and that is the first frustration insurance marketers experience from customers. Immediately you introduce this idea to them, they will frustrate your life with curse meanwhile an insurance marketer salary is on commission basis.

3. Bank Marketing

I pity employees working in a bank especially contract staffs who work as marketers. Banks give ridiculous targets to them such as opening several accounts in a month with huge deposit knowing fully well that there is economic recession. Such employees come home at night looking tired, frustrated and wearisome and most time, broke.

4. Real Estate Marketing

The real estate sector is not booming like before and as a result of this, they advertise marketing vacancies every now and then to recruit for graduates. Apart from the fact that a graduate earn peanut in a month, it's so difficult to get buyers to purchase a house when people can hardly afford 2 square meal in a day.

5. Teaching

It's a big show of shame on our government to pay people who actually mould the career future of tomorrow's leaders' meagre salary. How can N18,000 cater for a grown up man with responsibilities? This is one the reasons why the standard of our educational sector keeps dwindling.

6. Telecom customer care

The insult a customer care rep receives from Nigerians daily, is enough to make him/her become a psychiatric patient. When credit is deducted from a customer's account, he/she calls the customer care line to abuse, ridicule and hurl insults at the agent that picks the call.

7. NEPA

When people sight a NEPA/PHCN worker, the next thing that comes to their mind is to beat the hell out of that person. Employees working with electricity regulatory bodies always complain about management of irate customers and distribution of bills.

8. Asian coys

Hardly will you see an employee who gives a positive remark about working with an Asian company like the Indians and others. Most employees working with them complain bitterly about the long working hours, small salary and constant threats to sack them.

Lalasticlala

Maybe

I dey observe

Why is 90% marketing?

Anyway, its not a lie. I am currently experiencing this and na Salary dey hold me...although small but na to manage

Different strokes for different folks.

Some people enjoy it, while some endure it.

Na gnld scare me pass, na to form overnight health practitioner

20bc:
My oga op, I totally disagree with some of the point you mentioned above like Teaching, telecom customer care and Asian countries...

Nobody forced them to work there, if they can't cope with the stress they should quit.....

Nepa men in my area kings oh, na so people day greet and thank them anyhow because light too much when them day give us....

Bros if you ask people working in these companies, they will tell you how frustrating it is.

well securing a job ain't my dream

I hate GNLD and Insurance marketing with passion

Cnt GNLD be sold and bought in pharmaceutical companies instead of graduates hawking them

True Talk @ #6..... its one of d worst jobs ever. I wont advice any fresh graduate to start up with it. Its a time killer, it reduces your life span because long hours with ear fones has negative effects on ur ears. Dat job is more suitable for those that just finished secondary school or part time. Its not just worth it. Very frustrating!!!!!

Talking from experience.

Op..u forgot Security men job

9.Tricycle Operators
Due to high rate of unemployment in the country, many Nigerian graduates have been forced into riding tricycle. A survey carried out by an independent researcher shows that many of the tricycle Operators are really enjoying the job due to amount of money they take home each day.

GNLD is a known scam, but I wonder why our youths refuse to use their brains properly when it comes to This company.

I have tried to convince some of these boys and girls that GNLD is a big scam, but they always think I am trying to kill their dreams etc.

The GNLD or whatever they are called have laid down script that they use to brain wash our youths into working aimlessly without getting anything out of it.

This company should be checked or closed down if possible.

I repeat, GNLD is a scam...... See Proof Here>>>www.intensetalk.com

If all this jobs are bad, then that means there is no good job except civil service.
Not true.

Lwkm. I had a friend who was with GNLD and the dude just ditched them one day without reason. Even my friend as a teacher they would always withhold his salary when they suspect that he is trying to get something better. I just termed that slavery on suit and tie. Smh. Ngige min.of labour this is for you to fix.

Mostly those Asian companies. I remember going to get something from one their company at Ikeja, the supervisor just came out from no where and was yelling at this sales girl like she's filth. The guy was just calling her all sort of names. Felt so pity for the girl, why would anyone work under such harsh conditions I don't know.

The list is incomplete without Nairabet and Bet9ja

I pity those into Marketing

Annoying

working in an ASian company can be so frustrating

Only in Nigeria. This country has failed itself.

Very true!

Never permanent, it forms part of the stories that make the testimony.
It's but for a while for as many that are experiencing such.
God will surely make new ways

This is an eye opener

Nice one click my signature

The point about NEPA/PHCN is very true. Even on Christmas day one of them almost lost his teeth.
