Waiting to be done with NYSC before you begin to seriously apply for a job as graduates is one of the greatest mistakes you ever want to make.
This is one mistake many of us make or are about to make. In fact before you finish NYSC you should have applied for at least 20 jobs and attended at least 2 interviews, that’s the mindset of a serious job seeker. Except you have a job waiting for you somewhere.

If you made a 2:2 or third class, you are in a more competitive market and so you may need a super strategy to standout.
This is because the job market is saturated and so one way many employers try to streamline the number of applicants is by stating that they need 2:1 or first class only.
This should not be a source of worry but should be a reason why you have to step your game. You need to go for additional training that are relevant (mark the word relevant), add more skills, make your CV calling and all your applications superb! You can’t have a 2:2 and you are applying with different first class and 2:1 and you won’t do something different. You just have to stand out to improve your chances.

It means they are not looking for skill. And you know what that means!!!

It is because of this reason that all the jobs cannot be given by connection. There is a place for skill, for those who are truly qualified. So the big question is..Are you among the few qualified?

Getting into a company or organization is one thing, how you get in is another thing.
The route via which you enter a company goes a long way to determine your salary, your future prospects in that company, your promotion or even the benefits you...https://icmaxblog.com/posts/things-that-graduates-fail-to-note/
