boss weldone..please,guardian newspapers for which day(s) of the week?

This Nigeria sef, na only war fit reset us back to factory mode.....situation critical!!!

Take up the job if you gat no other options for now. i have earned 4k before as a teacher (2007/ and it still didnt deter me from my focus. Salary no dey even pay my trans or anything but man must survive, hunger was my best friend then. i combined with home lessons n i began to smile after a while. If you really have a target/destination in life, taking this job wouldnt steer you off track.
Have this in mind "he that is down need fear no fall; he that is low, no pride"

I think this is one of the best commets have read so far, mine is not too far from this though I'm not yet where I want 2 b but I believe wit God all things are possible.
I served in Ogun State in Ifo LGA posted 2 a sch in berger area where myself n a frnd who we met during d service period we were paid 6k given accomodation 2 stay, the money wasn't much but combined wit d monthly NYSC pay we were able 2 survive on it since no payment of transport n accomodation, but after service we had 2 move out of d place, we saved our little pay n rented an accomation witin dsame area dat is me n my frnd since no immediate job I decided 2 stay wit d sch earning jst 14k which in some months we were not paid complete, that did not deter me I got a sales job payin 15k I took d job jst 4 experience sake but later got employed wit an ICT firm as an ICT instructor wit 25k payment I took dis job so I could have access to free internet use which help wit my present job wit a bank, I'm presently earning above 150k wit good health,insurance n pension added.
All dis happened because I saw beyond my present state then I knew I was not going 2 settle 4 less but yet I knew I had 2 take those little pay then 2 get 2 where I was going, my fathers house is in lagos I could have taken d option of moving back home 2 stay wit them n job hunt but I knew if I stayed @ home I would get comfortable n not put in d zeal to go job hunt unlike wen u now u have 2 pay d rent feed urself n still have change on u 2 run around.
To summarise all dis long story bro take d job jst 2 stay busy n have cash on u but never settle 4 less keep searching n I'm sure sometin better will come up. I'm not yet where I want 2 be but I believe wit hard work n d grace of God I will get there.

macklef:
Wow those salary are epic

Lol...very hilarious and shitty. I av a teaching job dat pays 25k, transport like #100 in a day, its only extra lessons that makes the monthly earnings skyrocket habit, a colleague of mine earns d same with me but extra lessons made him go home with almost 70k at the end of the month. well everything depends on you, teaching is a very tedious job,if I am going to resume with them dis sept 22 mehn with dat 25k not on Jan 2015......its better to have a better job that pays well and not just work for working sake.

@OMOTEAMAC..Tuesdays and Thursdays guardian...it really works.i can guarantee you..most of the vacant jobs are send via letter so you have to do 5/6 post per wee....pls dont take it as a joke.it worked many times for me and few of my school guys i told about it..also dont forget internet(but i rarely used it)

borntobegr8t: This Nigeria sef, na only war fit reset us back to factory mode.....situation critical!!!

hahahahaha n you tink that factory mode will be better?

Now about your applications to those companies, did you apply for a specified vacant position or you just sent an unsolicited application

Because most time, I find it difficult to find an advert I really qualified for as a fresh graduate. What I do is that I send an unsolicited application to the companies advertizing, telling them that am interested in an entry level position in their company.

What baffles me is that the method seems not working for me. Am I impatient or the method is completely out of it

u guys ar talkin abt d salary only! dis is a private school nt govt , u hardly av time for urself , u handle 2-3 subjects, u ar meant to b in sch all d time, get ur lesson note ready , resume work by 7:15am nd close 3:30-4pm monday to friday,etc.... Whc time do u av for job hunting? how do u intend to submit ur cv to companyz? Time valu of money! check it well

Bro, accept the offer , what course did u study? I worked in an audit firm for 2 years plus on 8k salary , next job I got really compensated for it .

@ayolla..what course did you study and university...and where did you do your industrial attachment,your NYSC ....and what positions...these infomation i need to know ..then we can move from there

@ lillian gmail..you are very funny ohhh......do you think job hunting is all about going to respective company to stay at the gate..NO..its about information's from friends,internet and newspapers about vacancies that suit you..you dont go job hunting by going to visit the company...well maybe you are talking from the way you got a job..its more easier for females with guts to walk into any company..but be ready for anything you will hear..dont say i said so ohhhh

@OP, pls take the job...personally I love teaching but the pay isn't worth it. the first teaching job I attempted as a graduate, I was paid 12k. The days I want to do something meaningful with my life via job hunting, I take permission and leave (whether granted or not) .
It would actually keep your brain active, pending when the mega job comes

LORETA: @ayolla..what course did you study and university...and where did you do your industrial attachment,your NYSC ....and what positions...these infomation i need to know ..then we can move from there

As for my industrial attachment, i served as a secondary school teacher in a remote area of edo state.

Check your mail box and dont forget to answer my questions.

And govt wuld begin to wonder why studnts aren't doin well in waec exams when teachers aren't being motivated enuff to indulge dmselves..,Private schls wia studnts pay good fees still basicaly want teachers to teach for free or a paltry sum..so sad. My advice is dt d op takes d job nd still make sure he attends other better interviews even if d principal frowns or yawns.,Just be veri diligent on d job nd better rewards wuld come cos u need small cash for running around nd internet as well..,God bless our hustle.,amin!

LORETA..thanks...one last thing...apart from guardian,which other daily newspaper wl u recommend?

@omoteammac.....hmm i cant really remember very well which other paper..its been long i been in nigeria and read newspaper again we talking about one and half year...so i cant remember and not to sure but you try job search websites...i hope that will do to..you just need one good one at a time ..ok good luck

Those who place too much value on degree certificates will eventually get to realise that people with work experience (no matter how bad) are easily preferred before them. Pride goeth before a fall.

Well said..U developed urself along the line of electrical engineering, Seem also u like elect engr and it paid..all the times of meagre salaries where used to get required experience for the better paying job..I believe this is the opportunity most are looking for get to develop yourself in the area of ur interest because the experience iS what will yield that fat salary..

BUT the Nigerian factor is making things hard and frustrating..in Nigeria is the Grace of God and not hardwork again because as focused as one is the person can still spend like ages or get Stuck doing Something he or she doesn't like just to survive...and the more time u spend on that job the leSs likely u are to get called on for d job u desire because company will rather pick someone with little experience in that field than some who has no experience in that field except God, connection or its a graduate trainee opening.

I can bet that Nowergian company wouldn't have called u if all u had on ur resume was teaching experience and not elect engring experiences.

ItS really scary situation in this our obodo Nigeria..I think pple should figure out what they like or a career path and go do internship or pickup a job in that path regardleSs of the pay.

MissIndependent: Lol no I'm actually serving in Akute/Agbado axis. Even some big schools around pay graduates such amount. They will even write it on their vacancy board. "Teachers needed urgently B.sc 15k, H.N.D 14k, NCE 13k Apply within" and some of those teachers handle more than 2Subjects. Chei Ogun state schools sabi disgrace person degree sha my eye don see something.

Lol, Akute is better.
There is a particular cambridge school somewhere in Magodo (in a very expensive estate) where Students pay between N900K - N1.2milla. Guess what the school owner offered my bro?
N18K (1 subject, with option to close after each lecture). Transportation each day is about N200. I'm talking about A-level oo.
After about a year, his students passed his course with records no one ever had in the school. In appreciation, the man promised to increase his pay to N25k.
The man never stopped calling my bro but he made up his mind never to go back.

Some schools in my state can barely pay N10k/month
Even in Benin, how many private school teachers can boldly say they earn above N30k monthly?
Ado Ekiti, Ondo is not better; I strongly doubt the fact that the best school in Ado pays up to N30K for entry levels.

Lets even talk about the BIG schools in Lagos. What can they offer?

They've all turned our results to akara. For those that want very high salary; the school is not a place to put all your concentration except you dream of building a school someday. School owners count millions - real millions.



@My advice for Op is to search for a part-time (teaching) job where you can check for available vacancies, move around, and if possible, engage yourself with home lessons.

You don't have to stay focus on 1 job, except you're okay with your earnings. Even if you're offered N300k, being a man you still have to hustle harder.

Where is your location? Are you based in Lagos? There are some rich parents who pay home tutors N40/monthly - and you only have to teach 2hours Mon - Fri. If you're determined, you can handle 4 homes.
