As an employer, here are a few thoughts from my experience that may be helpful:

- Everyone prefers to hire from who they know. You think about it, why would you hire a stranger when you can hire someone from within your network. That way if things go wrong, you can go back to your contact and say, why did you recommend that person to me. It's risk mitigation.

- Following the above, seek to enlarge your network. Sitting at home twiddling your thumbs will not enlarge your network. Networks can both be online and offline. I recently hired someone who contacted me for some research for her Msc dissertation. As soon as she finished, I hired her. I also met someone recently online and now we're starting a business together. So be wise and use resources at you disposal to connect with serious forward thinking people.

- Be always engaged and do things excellently. It's in the process of doing excellent things that people will get exposed to you. I've lost 2 employees to multinational companies simply because they were doing their jobs well. Others I've had to let go and they often struggle to be re-employed because they have a poor attitude to work.

- Going int to business is hard too and is not for everyone so resist the advice to start a business just for the sake of it. You can, however, learn to use your hands or mind for small extra income. IT will serve you well and demonstrate to others a responsible mentality.


Apply these, don't be idle, work hard wherever you are. God and people will see your effort and bless you. You will also stand out from most people because the average person is actually lazy and doesn't care much unless they have to.

On that note, I would like to say we're hiring a business development and admin officer. We like young hard working people. You will learn a lot and grow in many ways. We value loyalty and integrity so if you don't have those, don't bother. E-mail with a CV and cover letter: abujadatacollection@gmail.com

Pls anyone who can help with information about Lead Nigeria interview at coker road ilupeju.[/color][color=#000099]
Karin001:


There is no news in the above statement. It is information that we all have slumbering subliminally.

I am persuaded to respond to your request for explanations because of my perception of the benefits some others may draw.

Whatever you read herein is my very personal opinion predicated on my experiencing this far.

Prior to independence the public service and industry was serviced by expatriates. The key roles were essentially handled by the foreigners. With the expansion of government in the colonies the bureaucracy grew bigger requiring more personnel especially at middle level management. It was practically impossible for more expatriates to be brought in considering the limitations of the home population and the fact that other colonies were also being serviced. Locals had to be trained to provide this level of manpower. Thus, the first graduates in not so wonderful disciplines.

As the clamour for independence heightened there was a need to prepare more local professionals for the system. Please note clearly that the primary goal of the pre-independence education was to provide staffing for the bludgeoning civil service and nothing else.

Fast forward to post independence Nigeria, our leaders continued with that model and I daresay that we still are producing manpower for employment with the only difference now being that we are producing for bouth government and the private sector.

Just about every undergraduate is seeing his certificate as a payslip. The education does not in any way prepare him for self-reliance. All you advised is to graduate in flying colours in order to have a fighting chance at getting a job.

In recognition of this failure successive governments have not taken any measure to arrest this development but all they do is to put palliatives in place. The palliatives are what they are; palliatives. Giving fresh graduates or unemployed youth 5,000 per month is ludicrous and reflective of a system bereft of ideas. You are not helping the individual beneficiary nor the society at large but just postponing doomsday.

I have been unemployed myself and have gone through the pain of an extensive job search with the attendant disappointments, outright deceits, and flagrant extortion among other vices. It just occurred to me one day that getting a job required much more than that. We are not even adequately prepared by the system for the search for a job. You need to see the resumes/profiles people send out in the search of a job.

If you really seek a job, you need to clear some cobwebs from your visual path. First thing being that sense of entitlement that is commonplace here in Nigeria. That you have a degree does not entitle you to a good job. That thinking was only obtainable in the past. It is now dead on arrival. Showcase whatever other skills you may have which can enhance your suitability for a job. I am aware of many examples where people are employed not primarily because of their qualification but more because of their skillset.

In a major food company you will be surprised that the Accountant that was eventually employed after a rigorous selection process was a lady with a B.SC in Economics, ATS qualification but most importantly she also had super baking skills and sugarcraft experience having worked in a major Cake shop in Lagos post O/Level and whenever she was on holidays.

To attract yourself the right job, you must be able to offer incontestable value at a reasonable price. If you cannot during the selection process, clearly and convincingly demonstrate the value you can bring to bear in the organisation then you are wasting your effort. If you have someone in the system who smuggles you in It is just a question of time and you will be either frustrated or relieved.

Big question is; What is your unique Selling point? Why should anyone employ you? let this question reverberate within you at all times leaving you with no peace until you can answer it clearly. Then you will be able to retool your c.v accordingly and seek opportunities where your value will be invaluable.

My pain as a graduate is people criticizing my choice of course (Zoology) and telling me I'm hopeless and I'm as good as I haven't gone to school at all. it's frustrating and demoralizing. I have been to several people and places and mere seeing my qualifications, there first response is " I hope you know this is not a Zoo".

Well life goes on anyway and suicide is not an option for me, cos life is a gift, and I intend to make the best outta of it till my last breath. Graduated from ABU Zaria in 2012, my objective is to prove all this doubters wrong and to show dem I can make a life in this field, and hopefully provide opportunities for others in my situation and those after me.

Zoologist are intelligent people, they don't have brains for raising chimps and Monkeys alone. They use strategies, proper planning, pure and advance scientific method for solving problems. Their knowledge of animal behavior, development, and physiology makes Zoologists wonderful human resource managers.

Zoologist are not archaic and sedentary, zoologist are IT savvy as as well and are in-tune with modernization , no life sciences can exist this days without bioinformatics, which involves advance programming language, diverse computer applications and lots data gathering which would be curated.

In Heath care, zoologists are not left out, from parasitology, helminthology, virology, epidemiology and all other laboratory practices, they are also competent.

I am one of those..... I have good grades as well (if that's what you looking for)

I have PGD in Education, my Msc in Cell Biology and Genetics ,the field I'm most excited about out of all others. Where I get to discover the powerful secrets the creator ingrained in humans and other animals...my plan is to be a genetic counselor someday in the future. But right now I still need a job and that will not happen if employers think I only have knowledge for raising chimpanzees and Zebras.

I am a graduate of industrial Chemistry with over 3 years teaching experience. I finished my NYSC in 2014.

Challenge i have is that i don't feel too fulfilled as a Chemistry intsructor. I fear i might lose my chemistry degree relevance with time as i am not in tune with recent scientific procedures and laboratory practices.


I have excellent theoretical knowledge of;
instrumental method of analysis, separation techique,
gravimetry,
chromatographic procedures, spectroscopy,
environmental chemistry (water pollution,treatment and control),
organic reactions and mechanism, stoichometry and safety laboratory practices.


Would really be grateful if any one can link me up to a good company as an intern or volunteer to help kickstart my career dream.

Thanks in anticipation

I graduated in 2012, concluded my service in 2014. I taught at a primary school immediately after service. Got a job at an Insurance Brokering Firm in 2015. The pay is not encouraging when you consider the cost of living in Lagos; transport, rent and others. As it is; I'm only gathering experience because I'm surviving with the grace of God. Nothing is usually left at the end of the month to save so that I can enroll for ICAN. I also have passion for small business (buying & selling, small scale farming and computer services) but no capital to venture yet.
My wife also works with a school presently and the working condition is nothing to write home about, despite the peanut she earns, she has just been paid her December Salary few days ago.

Thank you OP... I studied Statistics at OOU, Ago Iwoye graduated in year 2012, obeyed the clarion call in Imo State in 2014/2015 and I currently reside in Ibadan. I started a betting shop #Surebet247 in Ibadan with my savings during my NYSC and I was running it smoothly not until big shops were opened by other bookies and in the process I lost my customers as they preferred the big shops with Dstv and virtual games to my small shop. I tried to contend with the big shops for sometime but as recession bite harder and cost of running the small shop increases beyond my income, I lost out around July 2016.

Since then have been trying to get a job to survive and hopefully upgrade my shop to a standard level. I will be glad if I can get a job preferably in Ibadan. I understand MS Office and I also know how to fix computer, a good customer service experience.

Hello boss, aside English and Geography isn't there any other opportunity? I have a B. Sc in Industrial Chemistry, am good in mathematics and English. Am proficient in computer. I could also handle any subject given to me. Please I need your assistance. My number is 08133747993. Thanks
zicoraads:
I can help with those who would want to teach English language or Geography in a private school in Minna. If you have little experience, your start up would be up to 60K. If you don't, we are looking at about 50k. The school has a lodge for those who just came to Minna and have no one to stay with. So if you get the job, you'll stay there for up to 6 months before you move to your own apartment.

If you stay around Abuja or a middle belt state, I'll advice you give it a try. And I would assist in my own little way in footing your transportation fare back to your base. Tenk!
