Op just said the simple trut, when praying for Job, don't pray fr anyhow Job like above! Those doing these jobs were so glad @1st day @work, but fast faword to 1years, they are fraustrated! My wife is a banker, the last sack in her office, she wish she was among because her mate that were sacked was paid 5m as pay off, they were so happy because they see it as freedom from bondage. Most of them are doing very fine now with litle busnss they establish with rest of mind.



Bank job hv always bin a bondage, thanks to God she wasn't sacked better things re ahead for her

private school should be number one. no matter how hardworking you could, you can be sacked if an aggressive parent table your case before proprietor.
True talk , a hardworking teacher that taught in my school for 15 years was fired for problems with the proprietor

I can relate to The Private school teaching

Pls nd pls Never make a mistake of been too comfortable teaching...just be seeing it as a way to prepare yourself

No matter the pay, Teaching in private schools suck! They suck like an olosho n a customer


I dey tell you. If you have have some money, I will advise never to venture into private teaching. Do your masters or a professional course at best. There's no career growth or development. There's no structure.
There are some schools that will ask you to teach maths, physics, chemistry and further maths assuming you read a course like chemical engineering. I forgot to add intro Tech to the list. If you read microbiology you will be asked to take biology, chemistry and Agric. They may even add junior maths for you.
If you are seeking to build your career, please run from this people because it's like entering a black hole. You can't come out. But the benefit is that, it will sharpen you and give you some exposure and of course small cash to take care of little expenses. (I said little expenses).

My opinion

Teaching is not for everyone
Not for the money*yes we work in naija cos of the pay*
They are builders
They brought you to where you are today
Only if I could turn back the hands of time, I would embrace teaching.

I am a full timer customer service person
I do Marketing and CRM
I must tell you its an interesting combination when you have got confidence* forget the crazy target, you stay or leave*

Not all customer care works in telecoms
Offices
Front desk
CRM

Customer service is broad
You only pick the one that suits you

Enlighten me about other Customer Care job cos I am almost dying in Call Center environment.

cheesy
Funny you

Every organisation
No matter how small needs good customer service

Front desk
CRM
Technical support could be referred to help desk too
Sales product support
Business corporate mostly handles corporate accounts not necessarily banking industry
Customer care rep handles both on phone and person which could relate to help desk

These Are other parts of customer service

The sole purpose is to keep customers both new and existing ones

Actually the three are the largest absorber of formal Labour.

Yes they are, especially teaching. But the honest truth is that most private schools are slave drivers.

Interesting topic.

Job security is fast becoming a myth in view of tougher environment for businesses.

On banking, my take is that one should start planning retirement from the first date of resumption.

Actually, the smartest people across professions/careers start planning for retirement (or even premature, unplanned, undesired exit) from the first date of resumption.

Principe:
A job is something one does in earn gain or gain experience.A career is a long term pursuit of life long ambition.From these definitions is it safe to say that job is a sprint while career is a marathon.

Let us look us look at some of the jobs one should not take for a career.My criteria for choosing these jobs are:

-Job security
-Career growth
-Ability to transfer the skills acquired on these jobs to other sectors.

(1) BANKING:Years ago this profession would not have made this list,sadly things have changed.

Most bankers in Nigeria are contract staff,there is no promotion for a contract staff in the banking sector no matter how hard you work or dedicated you are to your job,even the core staff get promoted after 4/5 year at one level.Secondly,you can be asked to go anytime so any day you log in you work for that day bearing in mind that your sign on can be disabled anytime.

Ever wondered why most bankers move from one bank to the other?well apart from the myth of getting promotion faster,an average banker does not have special skills(especially technical skills)which could be transferred to other sectors.

Lastly,in banking the higher you climb(for the core staff) the less relevant you become.This is why most banks fire mid management staff and recruit someone younger and less expensive.

(2) TEACHING(PRIVATE SCHOOLS):This is a job one could do immediately after NYSC to keep 'body and soul' together.Salaries of some private schools are lower than the NYSC allowee.Some may argue that some private schools pay good salary.That is true,but they are few and far between.

Some schools do not have corporate structure let alone employment letter.The proprietor may even sack you verbally undecidedOne can also 'resign' by telling the owner through phone.

CUSTOMER CARE(NETWORK PROVIDERS).Tales of how these customer care staff are treated by their employers abound,they are poorly paid.There is also an unconfirmed story I heard that the health implications of answering calls regularly are enormous.

Disclaimer: This piece was not written to discourage people that are doing the aforementioned jobs nor those who intend to start.However,if you want to quit it is better you have another job before quitting.
this is a lazy mindset. So which job is now career
