You can cancel it before the end of the free month.
The point is, find a way.

Wish you luck in one month or less!

The next logical step after schooling (or NYSC for Nigerian graduates) is to get a job. This is usually not the case for most job-seekers. Many of them have to wait from between one to ten years before landing a "good" job.

Personally for me I don't believe there are no jobs. The challenge most time is how to get the available jobs. The truth is that people get new jobs every day. People are promoted every day and the posts they leave behind are still vacant. Businesses are being registered on a daily basis (na spirits dem employ?).

After establishing the fact that there are jobs, the next thing is to have a plan and a definite strategy. You must understand that the conventional way of getting a job will not work for everybody. Your chances in the conventional ways are limited because of the population of people looking for the same thing you're looking for. Some even have better qualifications than you. That's why you need to strategize!

How to plan and strategize

The economy is divided into sectors/industries, these industries are sub-divided into firms. What you studied might not be found in every firm (unlike accounting or IT). So you have to identify the firms that need your skills. Get the details of these firms, their names, location, what they do etc. This information will guide your approach. Prepare a good CV and cover letter. Don't wait for them to ask you for your CV. Don't send soft copy only. These companies receive thousands of CV online daily. Go to the company physically.

Don't just give your CV and Covet Letter to the gatemen/security, not the receptionist not even the HR (in some cases). Try and get it to a top management staff, or a P.A to the MD. You can get to meet a top person who works there on LinkedIn.

The idea is to get their attention at all cost. This will land you an invite. The other process of test, series of interviews, etc, you'll also need to be well prepared.

I challenge you today, go and make a difference. Get that dream job. Don't reduce your expectations.


Shalom!

Thanks man...

Intelligentdude:
There is a difference between a dream job and an available job.

You might not get your dream job immediately after service,but there will be alternative jobs that will help give you the requisite skills/trainings needed to get your dream job.

To bring it home,if you are a graduate of Electrical Engineering, and you just concluded your service,it won't be wise to go sit at home. After doing all your CV submissions and while waiting,you can attach yourself to that "illiterate" Electrician (in quote)in your neighborhood.
The experience and technical skill you acquire will differentiate you from other applicants in subsequent interviews.

Also note(aside connection), the first step to getting your dream job is creating a database of companies you wish to work with.

Note that if not for the academic qualification, most electrician that didn't made it to the university are even more technical and competent than some of the graduates.
