Fresh out of school? How do you land your first job?

In Nigeria, if you're a new graduate from humble beginnings, it seems like there's very little hopes out there by way of employment opportunities. And in Nigeria's man-know-man world, what do you do if you don't have 'long-legs"?

This two month old video offers new Nigerian graduates a few practical but controversial counsel from fellow Nigerians who have walked similar paths:

-Take up the very first job offer regardless of how crappy or blue collar it is.

In addition, they're advised on how to go about managing the transition from that first crappy, low-paying job into the career of their dreams. The advice is practical, easy to apply but requires a lot of patience, humility and a brutal reality check about employment opportunities in today's job market.

I hope you find something useful in the video, and all the best with your search for opportunities.

Again, I'll repost what I said in an earlier thread:

The video offer great and practical advice. But it's incomplete and leaves out the part where you might need to relocate for work.

No matter how willing you are to take up the lowest jobs, some places don't just have them available e.g. Yakurr in cross river state. It is a civil service state. Unless you want to be the village headmaster or you want to be the tailor 's apprentice, the roles are not just there.

Other than that, there's very sound information in the video. Thanks for sharing
