GraceAndFavour:
Please I need the advice of informed, experienced and intelligent people on this forum.

I have two job offers before me and I must make a choice between them immediately. Below is little information about the two positions.

1. EXAMINATIONS OFFICER AT BRITISH COUNCIL
This is a graduate position at the starter level of Pay Band 4 with a monthly net pay a little above N200k. The following are my points of attraction to this position:
(a) The organization has a world-class reputation
(b) The working environment is world-class and very ICT complaint.
(c) Location advantage.
(d) 13th and 14th month salaries with good pension plan.
(e) Probation period is 3 months.

Despite the above, I have some reservations which includes that the position is a junior staff position and it is an indefinite contract.


2. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR AT WAEC
This is an experienced and international position at grade level 9. The monthly net pay may be less than that of British Council above. My attractions to this position are:
(a) The reputation of the organization.
(b) The position is international and senior.
(c) The job security and the fact that it is permanent/full-time.
(d) Sure of growth and future.

But despite the above too, my reservations include that the pay may be less than that of BC and that it may not come with as much exposure as the BC.

Please, advise me on which to go for and why.

That WAEC job won't be more than N120,000..

I am telling you.

Go for the pay figure you already know.

Guy if u letter choose one pls look 4 anoda jobless or any1 that's in need of a new job and try c if u can b of help


Advice: think about d future nt nw n money... then pray to God Almighty

If I was working with WAEC and I get BC offer I will jejely resign..you will get better experience and exposure, u can work with any international organisation having worked with BC. WAEC level 9 salary will be about 70k..the big question is do u want to work for the FG or an international organisation. choose wisely!

The work environment is very important. You will enjoy the work environment in BC.

How did I get here sef? I don't know jack about waec or BC.

Frostty:

Go for BC because the reputation will do your CV a lot of good. Payment in $ will give you more financial security

Ass Registrar any day

Shortcomings with 1. EXAMINATIONS OFFICER AT BRITISH COUNCIL

1. Enrollment for exams threatened due to GBP rates/fluctuations.
2. Foreign travels low.
3. Job satisfaction due to contract nature.
4. Uncertainties created by economic conditions such as recession.

..and the naira is doing great i think?

Hello,

i advise you for for the BC job. Exposure is enormous, it carries more weight on your resume and it is more prestigious organisation that WAEC.

An examination officer is meant for high school level. He won't grow because he isn't a real staff. Moreso, he will constantly feel a bit of racism and suspicion. Or you don't know white looks down on black.

You don't wanna be at British Council.Way from your own doing junior level job. WAEC is 100mile better. His growth will be fast. At that level, he is already a senior staff with weight of respects. Dignity is all you want from life. Of course, WAEC pays better than BC

Level 9 in WAEC About 70k? Guy you are not serious oooooo lol
Am level 7 and my pay is way above that

Everyone is just Talkin about allowances and salaries....no one is asking whether their staff go through training and development programs that make them better and efficient employees

My Brother, take WAEC job!

So those guys that monitor and supervise the ACCA exam earns more than 200k...if I were you, I will go for the British council job.

I am surprise that some people are advising the OP to go for BC in order to boost his CV. Are you advising him to continue seeking for one job after another for life? You stay in a job and build your carrier there. Please OP do not choose BC so that when you are no more there your CV will be attractive. Choose a permanent and pensionable job for the sake of future. Remember there will come a time that age will not be on your side again, no matter the richness of your CV

Since the BC job is contract and a far lower level i dont understand why you are even considering it.

But if because you feel you want to add BC in your resume, my suggestion would be accept both and defer resumption at WAEC for 3 months (if possible)while you get your 3months contract staff expirence with BC. When you resume in WAEC am sure you would never wish your enemy contract staff job

Please GodnGold, Mopolchi, Amkaro, IrradiatoR, SirBrightoc, grami, superflakky, calfranc, shakurpaul, I need your contributions.

Mods, please help me out.

Consider this

amkaro:
There are so many things I'll want u to consider.
1. How high can u rise in British Council?
2. How often do u get promoted?
3. Is ur salary incremental as u grow higher or static?
4. Is the job safe? Check out thr hire and fire policy
5. What are the other allowances and benefits in BC?

My advice, look beyond pay.

What I know u can get as an AR in WAEC

1. A very senior staff
2. The pay is good enough for starters. U will be shocked wen u get d offer letter or ur first pay. I know they pay than most organizations entry level apart from Oil and Gas.
3. Juicy bonuses
4. Safe job, timely promotion, and steady pay
5. Exposure ( locally and internationally)
......and more.

British Council is sweeter from pay band 6, trust me!

God's Guidance is the Best

Since u can't chose between right & left, pls, take my advice... The both isn't good enough for u. They seem too big and above ur level. So, go to a Local Govt. Sec sch & take up a teaching job.

I have been struggling to understand why you are comparing these opportunities!

There is nothing specifically better with BC. I doubt if BC pays natioals in anything other than Naira. There is nothing special working with the White but frustration.

Take WAEC and settle down to plan your future.

Go for the Waec offer,cos is a fulltime job,The British council offer contract can be terminated at anytime and put you back to the labour market again....Please choose Waec offer cos will have the opportunity to grow there .Thanks.

Go for WAEC. I served in their Yaba HQ and I know the status of AR. You will earn up to d 200k you are looking at in BC. Are you a subject officer? You will be engaged in various assignments and be paid allowances. You'll all have access to international trainings. WAEC is also international.

WAEC is ok...with the allowance u will receive frm waec u will almost balance up with BC and there is sure promotion...promotion and job security is very important when choosing the right job

justwise:


..and the naira is doing great i think?

Justwise...

Naira is useless now.

WAEC without thinking sef, British job na temporary job na, OP, miss the WAEC and cry forever

Op, God butter ur bread for two sides....congrats! My take, go for d WAEC job. I hate any job that has 'contract' attached to it- talking from experience. God help U to take the right turn.
