Six Tips To Getting Your Dream Job by BISolutionsng: 4:59pm On Jun 20, 2016 |
As impossible as it may seem, especially in a country like Nigeria, if you can follow these tips, you would be amazed at what will happen! 1. Learn about yourself: Understand who you are, your likes, your values and your strengths. 2. Research: Find out about careers which match with your interests and your skill set. The next thing is to identify any additional skill set you need to take you in the direction you want to go, and then take active steps to build that skill or competence. 3. Don’t be discouraged by your lack of experience: Every employer wants someone who is hands-on on the job; an employee they do not have to teach. This makes it difficult for someone who has no experience to get a job, but there is a way out. Volunteer or work for free! Make a sacrifice! Ignore the money (or lack of money) and go get that experience you need on your Curriculum Vitae. 4. Network: Meet people, talk to people and attend free or paid seminars in relation to the field you are interested in. Take advantage of your network on social media and remember that a contact or someone in your network can know someone who can land you that dream job. 5. Start early: Avoid going round in circles by staying in a job you are not happy with because you are afraid of the unknown. The truth is, you will waste so much time doing what you do not enjoy doing. Research and invest that time in what you really want to do, and you would have spent quality time in building your career. 6. Have realistic expectations: Nothing good comes easy. To get a perfect job you need to always work at it. Every job has its ups and downs, some aspects we love and some we do not love. A popular saying is ‘Anything worth having in this world requires effort’. It has also been said, ‘No pain No Gain’. In other words, prepare to work relentlessly to ensure you get what you want. http://biempowerment.com/2016/06/20/six-tips-getting-dream-job/ 9 Likes 2 Shares

I have also visited the career section of many Ngo's such as Mercy Corps, Christian Aid, VSO, PACT and the likes and applied several times to volunteer with them but no response. I want to use this opportunity to state my readiness to volunteer with any Ngo within Abuja which can accommodate a recent graduate like me. Thanks 1 Like |

Op, you are very correct. most times I wonder why students, I mean IT students will be looking for highly paid SIWES or Industrial Training. How much does graduates earn when an IT students will be looking for IT of 30-50k per month ot white collar jobs for IT?. at times I tell them to do it for free and get the experience added to thier CV and they refused. I could remember doing my Industrial Training also know as Sea Experience in my field for free without a dime. most of my mates rejected it, laughed at me and was telling me they can NEVER work for any one for free. I wasnt looking at the present then but I was looking at d experience gained that will be added to my CV. Today I earn over 2million naire per annum while those guys r still at home looking for IT even if its now free, they dont mind cos they have seen me... I tel Youths, chase excellence and u see success and money running after u... that 2m is the least money I can accept now in ma field as I av gained more experience and the more your experience the more employers grade ur higher.... and the more u gat to see opportunities knocking your door. and to top it up, I got this job through social Media, Facebook... I added the HR after reseaching aboutbthe company, sent her my profile CV inbox and she invited me to the office, did an interview and I passed I also got a better job offer thru Linkedln recently of over 5million naira per annum but I decided to to accept it for now cos I needed to boost my CV with my present company. its not all about the money. Get d experience, connect with people, av a good relationship with everyone around u and upgrade yourslf regularly with the lil money u get as some one said "empty your pocket to fill your brain so that one day your brain will fill your pocket"... and u see your self shining now I av also started school with NOUN, I may not need it now but who know, I may need it in d future. no certificate is a waste my lil cent advice 9 Likes |
