Advice To The Unemployed by debaj10: 11:16pm On Jan 19, 2021 |
Yes, it seems long. I'll be as succinct as possible. ... Job seeking is war, with various battles. Most of you don't get that. The very few who do, actually think soldiers at the warfront should get some time off. Amazing. Your strategies determine your outcome. Plan well. Here goes- Your Resources Winning Options Time Management … 1. YOUR RESOURCES You God Time Money People Appliances The Virtues... The Virtues Without these, you might as well go into crime. Hey, in case you missed it- We're in a recession. Staying on the straight and narrow is tough. Structure your life around these and half the war is won. Three quarters, actually. Money Set a weekly budget. If you're utterly broke, good- You're ahead of others because you have nothing to lose - and won't waste your EXTREMELY PREVIOUS time and money on frivolities. Calls, texts, browsing, travel, food, self care. - in descending order of importance. People You know over 250 people directly. Use the list below as appropriate. You need to network, develop your warm list of contacts and grow that list- per person listed below. Discuss with them, how each can help you. For those who're willing to help, craft several templates that you can use on their phones to reach ALL their (relevant) contacts. A soft, social, warm approach is best- your people's contacts already know them. A mentor* Parents Siblings Extended family Friends Religious members Neighbours Past Academic/work colleagues Past Tutors and bosses *Your mentor is the most important person on this list. If you don't have one, get one. Appliances I assume you have a Nokia torch phone at least? If you don't, borrow. Pen & notebook° Laptop/PC Car Internet access °These are the most important items on your list. Think I'm joking? God This one's easy- You do, or you don't. You In summary, Personal Development- Personal SWOT analysis Financial intelligence Cash flow quadrant Personality/traits Know thyself. Time Is job hunting your work/primary assignment, or your side hustle? Either way- Work and Volunteer^ Study Side hustle Sleep - 6 hour minimum Exercise. Yes. ^Many of you missed out on this INVALUABLE activity in university. Now as graduates, your CV is flat. Dull. Uninspiring. And you're STILL neglecting this door-opening, opportunity-revealing, GRACE-GIVING Exercise! If you refuse to give, why should you receive? Pity. … 2. TIME MANAGEMENT Daily routine Stay current with your field Expand your horizons DAILY Routine- Call Text Browse CV drops Side hustle Volunteer Intern Stay Current What's happening this week in the various fields that concern you? How current are you on current affairs? - politics - economy - npower - technology - local news - covid 19 - professional news Expand Your Horizons What fields related to your degree have you prepared for? At one in 6 months- how many certifications have you acquired since graduation?f How developed are your soft skills? If in 2021 you're less than a computer expert, what's your excuse? - do you know children now start learning to code at 4 years of age? How many new skills have you acquired since you became an UNDERgraduate? How ready are you for field work, requiring practical knowledge/experience? How many life skills do you have? … 3. WINNING OPTIONS This is the easiest part- Deciding what VICTORY means in this war: Successfully getting a dream job? Getting any job that pays above a certain amount? Any job at all? Or would a complete shift into an entirely new profession be of greater benefit? It's up to you. But I expect that the process above once started, will help provide a paradigm shift in your perspective. And I GUARANTEE that the end result will make you a much better, greater, highly sought after candidate in ANY job you apply for. On a final note: Between Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, YouTube, Nairaland and MOOC sites- How can you have any excuse for being jobless?! And just so you know- For every hour you waste on irrelevant things (be they DSTV, SM trends, gossip or games), you lose a day's worth of Personal Development.
