#1 TRUTH ; Organizations Don’t Care About Your Degree.

You might have struggled for years through the university to come out with a good degree so telling you that companies and organizations don’t care for it seems harsh but that’s the fact.

Getting a good degree helps somehow in getting a good job but what really counts to every employer is what value, skills, knowledge, experience etc you are bringing to them. After all, almost every job seeker out there has a degree. What differentiates some from the rest? The extra.

#2 TRUTH; You Don’t Need Any Godfather Before You Can Get A good Job but Knowing Influential People Increases Your Chances.

The bigger and more influential your referees are the better your chances of getting called for interviews when you submit your CV.

#3 TRUTH ; Nothing Goes For Nothing

Many young job seekers foolishly talk about their desire to land very lucrative jobs in oil companies, telecommunications companies, banks etc but possess little or no skills to ensure they get their dream jobs. Be prepared to improve yourself tremendously if you are aiming for the really juicy jobs.

Knowing these truths, no matter how unpalatable and tackling them will move you closer to making a successful career for yourself in whatever sector you choose.
