Go for your masters.

I remember how someone told me this after I graduated in 2010 as a fresh graduate.

I was not disobedient to that advice.

Now I am even running a PhD and GOD helped me to get a lecturing job.

Just go for your masters.

My advice to any fresh graduate is to get certifications. Go get real certifications. I cannot overemphasize the importance of getting certifications. My friends who are HR managers in big Companies tell me they have vacancies. Plenty lot of them. But they rarely get people with the required certifications and couple of years of experience to take them up. For instance, there is a very high demand for Business analysts, HR analysts and Managers and Project managers with CIPM or PMP, PRINCE2 or SIGMA. These certifications don't come cheap but it sets you ahead of others. Also, the startup pay for them is not bad too.

Another option is to acquire IT skills. You can never go wrong with that. Thankfully, with YouTube, you don't have to pay through your nose to get started. Simply search for 'Skill name + tutorials' on YouTube. Find videos that are over 5 hours long. Take the course religiously. After that, register on Upwork and Freelance to offer your skill there. This is what thousands of 'reasonable' youths are doing to make thousands of dollars month. If you have a smartphone, laptop and access to internet and you are still broke, then your head needs to be checked seriously.

Employers mouth are always sweet about importance of certifications because there are millions and massive supply of graduate in the Nigerian labour market. There is no high demand anywhere it's just shakara because why will a PhD holder decide to become a truck driver in Dangote.

My guy you need skills asap

I will strongly advise you learn IT skills - programming will be good and if you can afford it CCNA, programing is what saved my life, it's the reason why i am alive and balling, i got a job with a reputable IT firm before finishing my service and when there was mass layoff in my place i got another job within same month with plenty other offers i turned down, when people hear my pay they tend not to believe it

All my friends that are not into IT are still on the street getting insulted with 25k, 40k jobs even the one that attended private school while my other programmer friend is even better than me

The street is tough my brother, no one cares, everyone expects from you, even your parent will stylishly start nagging about food, something they've been doing since your birth but now it will be a big deal to them

This country and society is of no help unless you have something doing you will be tempted with all sort of vice, don't wait till you become desperate, start now

Which programming language did you start with G? And what career path, is it Data science or web development or what?

Great advice. Than all those be an entrepreneur crew. Not everyone will be one.

OP volunteer, or find an Intern placement especially in fields you are certain you want to work. That's how you'll gain experience along with your certifications as mentioned here. Make sure you sharpen relevant modern day skills relevant across a lot of sectors. And you asked the right question. Ignore Nay sayers.

Currently i run a private it business in computer village and i still own a restaurant & bar in within my resindential jurisdiction (Ketu- ikosi)

Certification is better but don't venture into it with all ur savings. Certifications won't put food on ur table immediately. Find something that will give you steady income. After graduating worked for a while with no good income. Naa so I carry laptop connected to the Internet and started book publishing. Today, I am free. I see between N900,000 - N1,000,000 monthly by God's Grace and have been doing this and taking care of a lot of financial obligations. Take advantage of the Internet legitimately and be financially free. No company in Nigeria will pay you what a dedicated and diligent work will give you on the Internet legitimately without defrauding anyone.

Spend 30 Minutes a Day Learning a Marketable Skill

Success doesn’t go to the smartest or strongest, but to the most skilled.

When you have something valuable to offer the marketplace, people will pay you for it.


Devote 30 minutes a day to learning new skills for fun and profit. The Youtube is my teacher and i will be most grateful to God for opening my eyes to skills there.

Whether it’s writing, coding, marketing, Facebook ads, a new language, sales or negotiation, don’t let a day go by where you don’t improve your skill set and abilities.


Work no dey Nigeria o, use ur tongue count ur teeth b4 hand meet u.



Peace!

Boss, please teach me. How did you do it.

Please everyone I need help too. I'm very confused right now. I just graduated too (HND business administration, 22, Oct this year). Now I'm waiting for NYSC I'm very depressed and nervous about what the future holds.
No guarantee of job and I'm a self sponsored student. My discipline isn't too marketable in the labour market (I may be wrong though). So, I don't want to be caught off-guard by the reality of things when I finish service. I have a laptop and I can afford data. Please I need help and mentoring on what I can do online (legit).
Please, I'm very ready to learn. My number is 08100528345, whatsapp...
Help a brother please. Make perzin no go put hand for bad things....
