Best Place To Start A Career?

well you might not have so much choices in Nigeria.

Just take advantage of where you are right now and tailor it to your dreams.

I believe in dreams and not opportunities/luck. There is no doubt that 1 out of every 500 applicants would secure a job in the big 4 (Audit firms) at the end of the recruitment exercise.

My advise is that you plan and work towards it.

best place to stat a career

CONOIL, the Global com , Devcom in that order

I support bodiga, the best place to start a career is the net (yahooozee), afterall guys must buy car, waak, pay bill etc.

am I making sense?

When i was still in college i had the same ideology as most people here have, that to become a great person or be more exposed and knowledgable you should start your career in a consulting firm and then move to oil and gas or wherever, i believed working the bank was redundant kind of work. Infact back in the day my slogan was " Accenture or nothing"

I like to think i am a little wiser now, and i have realised something that has changed my orientation it has helped me in my job search and even during interviews i have attended and to sharpen my career goals.

Work itself is redundant, no matter how challenging a job may be someday the challenge will become a routine,  What i am saying in effect that the one thing that will make you you and make you excel in your career is you. It pays to get on the job experience but the truth is you learn what you want to learn and become who you decide to become.

If you want to excel in your career wherever you are be it in a bank or in consulting, you have to make an effort to develop your self personally, alot of people spend their days job hopping without developing themselves.

Books, people underestimate the power of reading and becoming smart, the biggest financial and  economic gurus spend most of their time reading and reading and reading, you want to learn strategy then study strategy, practical experience is good and it helps but it will not make you excel, its what you have up there that will lead you. My mentor is a force to reckon with in his industry of specialisation, his background will shock the whole lot of you, where he has worked will shock you even more, yeah its a multinational but its just not the sort of place you think you can learn so much. Yet when he talks, bankers, oil workers, consultants all listen to him, you should see the size of his library.

If you think a company will build you,.then you are in for big disappointment, its not really where but what you do with where you find yourself that matters, be it Shell, Accenture, a bank,  if you are good you will stand out from your peers and shine, everybody has their own individual career path to take, find it and don't try to follow other peoples paths.

i've longed all my life to work for accenture, the work environment is beautiful and it just feels like jand companies and all. oil companies are alrite but i would take accentures first bcus of d name and reputation that comes with it before any oda tin. moreova d pay isn't so bad
