Please don't give up, don't be too hard on yourself, you're getting closer to your dreams in life, if truly you have 1st class in this particular course, I tell you, all your effort(s) won't be in vain or won't go to waste. I graduated with 3rd class, am not proud of it, I know how the 1st class student in my department work hard to achieved it, is not easy. Please try and joint some expatriates groups on Facebook, any country, I always seem some job adverts on some of the groups |

I really feel for the OP. Op I can't help you with a job, but I can give you some advice. I'll try to be brief (i'll try) 1) First mistake some guys make is to have a sense of entitlement, like you should be entitled to something. Truth is In some way you are entitled to something, you worked hard for it in school, but sadly such is not obtainable anymore. The competition is tougher, supply of grads (first and 2:1) has increased. If all the MNC were giving out free jobs to all the first class grads, they still won't be able to take everyone. Though i'm sure you no longer have any form of entitlement due to circumstance, but never forget that your are smart and be proud (not too proud) of your achievement. 2) You need to apply to jobs in all sectors of the economy. The early mistakes we make is to search for jobs in only engineering field. My brother apply everywhere, banks, audit firms, investment banking firms etc 3) Next issue is passing the aptitude test. Almost all MNC require a form of test. Now this is where some peeps have issues. This is where practice helps, put alot of effort into practice and the more (real) aptitude test you write, the better you become, thats why you need to apply for everything. You also need to learn some street ways to passing aptitude test, be fast, be smart, don't dull, no allow paent dey wear you. It would be good if you hung out with your peers who are also writing the test, you guys can share some tricks. 4) The last problem you might be facing is the interview stage. For most first class this is usually brutal. When the average Nigerian look at you, the first thing on their mind isn't praise or congratulations. The first real thing on their mind is let us test him, na la cram la pour him do, 2:1 guys are better etc. So expect some drilling during your interview. But then again practice helps, being street smart also helps, be confident and don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Its also good if you have a young mentor, some one who can coach you and teach you the tricks he/she knows. This is a simple guide to get into dem MNC In all try and Network, these days its no longer called connections (connection is such an ugly word) its called referral. So try and network, and get referrals from People. You can also teach in tutorials, try learning how to program (this takes a whole lot of time sha, and a whole lot of practice). And yes hustle for scholarships, though they are really competitive, but you really stand a chance cause you're very smart person even if you currently doubt yourself. Eh ehn, don't forget the small small coys too, even though na one man business, you don't know where your blessing is coming from. Damn this was too long, anyways I hope it helped. More muscle to your hustle. hope say you apply for E.Y 2 Likes |
