Hello, folks.

Its no news that most people leave school, go for NYSC but know little about how to develop themselves to boost their CV and job prospecting. However, I believe this thread will help a lot of people if given front page exposure or the lunching pad to off.

I will use myself as an example.

In less than 2months time, I will be graduating and leaving with HND Cert. as a petroleum engineering student and hopefully, I will serve my country as a youth coper.

Apart from having HND cert, how do I develop myself career-wise so as to boost my job prospecting? Whatelse can I add to my CV?

I have heard people talk about short courses/ certificate but I honestly do not know which one to acquire that may be relevant to my field of study. Recently, I found out that software are used during drilling operation, completion,production operation and I will like to know the names and what the are used for.

I still feel that there's room for improvement and I don't want to leave any stone un-turned.

For instance, I studied mineral resources at OND level, though I chose petroleum engineering( you how they do it in Naija). At HND, I am studying petroleum engineering and most times, lecturer often assume that we all studied petroleum engineering at OND and this further makes it difficult to comprehend certain things. My grades meets the basic requirement for employment, but I still feel incomplete when compared to my colleagues who studied petroleum engineering at OND level. I will appreciate anyone that could assist me with audio visuals, ebooks, software which I can use to build or develop myself from ground up.

Thank you for your time.

You can opt for project management courses. Its quite relevant.

That's what I thought guys... But anyway, this is Naija.
