I am a graduate of Microbiology, made 4.41 & completed my NYSC in Feb 2014. I'm unemployed, I've made several applications to different establishments but I don't get any feedback (both positive & negative) afterwards. Right now I'm thinking of picking up a contract job in Nestlé in order to help me build my experience while waiting for a better offer.
Pls how good is dis decision in terms of finance and experience benefits?
Pls I need ur response, I don't want to make an expensive mistake. Thank you!

Thanks too....but I'm a lady & not "bro".

First, what kind of job are you going dre to do.? If its a job related to your discipline, abeg Hug am. Thank God you are starting in a multinational company not all these "gburagbura" coys around. The thing is while you work, take your time to learn dre operations and dre microbiological analyses, these knowledge are thing u leverage on when looking for bigger jobs. I could remember when I was serving in NBC, I assisted HR manager because engineering dept rejected me. I was in HR keeping eye on what was happening in engineering and production section, I kept reading bottling books while I was rendering HR Services. Believe u me, I never put it in my cv I assisted HR Manager, I wrote it that I assisted Plant Engineer. My first job was with Guinness as Maintenance Technician( I passed dre recruitment technical test) left there for an oil serving firm. Pls be focused. Seems u re around 30 year of age, that's why fresh graduate jobs din come easily. I experienced that too

Thanks a million!!! I had it in mind to explore every opportunity I will come across there. I only got discouraged from people around that said contract jobs are not OK for graduates. I posted this to actually get other views and suggestions, & with all d comments so far I'm definitely going for it. Thank you ALL, I remain grateful!

my dear! If you made 4.41 and you are slighly above 24-26 max! That grade is pratically useless in today's labour market where AGE is considered a strong factor. I think diamond is still the only bank in Nigeria that accepts 30yrs of age as Entry Level. The Rest coys will never go above 26. I made 4.23 but couldnt get my desired job as a result of age barrier. Well, i wouldnt want to bore you with my bitter experiences! Thank God! I am meaningfully engaged now. My advice to you is that you should take up that contract job as quick as possible! Hence you are not meaningfully engaged at the moment. Again, it depends on the type of job you are engaged with! Some contract jobs are still very decent especially when it involve a multinational firm like Nestle! From there, you can build on the work experience and move on to another firm. After my Nysc, i waited for a whole one year! Applying for jobs! And thinking i would get a good job with my grade! but then, all to no avail. My dear, you have to start from no where!!! If you are above 27yrs! Then, you have to forget any job with Fresh Graduate or entry Level. Coz of the age! So better you pick up something to do as quick as possible!! Cheers!
