Hello Nairalanders!!! Please help a brother out.
Its been over 7 years I was involved in an accident & I got head and a facial scars on me.
These scars have contributed to my low self-esteem.
I passed out from NYSC last month and I seriously need a job, most especially because of my family background.
I want to know whether those scars can be a disadvantage to me in the labour market because to me, it made me look rough.
Moderators please help a brother out!!

Holywizard, what a moniker !
I do not think you need employers to validate the way you feel about your looks by offering you a job. You have to give yourself that validation by understanding that you are enough. You have to believe that you look fine with your scars. Those scars tell a story of survival and endurance, no matter how difficult things become they remind you that better days lie ahead. That way you are able to build your confidence back up. I'm not unaware of the stares you may get from random strangers but that's because people are intrigued by difference. You can look them square in the eyes till they look away or you can offer them a warm smile and move on depending on how you are feeling at that moment.
Now to your question about jobs. There are always going to be jobs we don't qualify for based on physical appearance and our skill sets. I may never work as a physician or a model with a full head of hair. I don't have the skills and I have lost all my hair. However, I have a job I love in an industry that drives Nigeria's economy. Nobody at my job has been hired or turned away because they look a certain way. Your skills are what matter here. You are going to get a job soon enough.

Thanks sir.
I'm really pleased.
