Jobs/VacanciesRe: Backpack To Briefcase Series: Letters and Lessons from a Corporate Desk. by amicable09(op):
Audu didn’t prepare himself well for what he was about to face. He undoubtedly did his research about the company like all the articles on “tips for interviews” adviced. One thing those articles failed to teach him was the popular saying ‘You only have one chance to make a good first impression’. Well, in his case, one question actually not chance.

For starters, his dressing didn’t pass the physical appearance test. It was too tacky and unpleasant to the eyes. For Mrs. Alabi thinking she had seen it all couldn’t hide the disappointment long enough. This is the first of its kind, totally disapproving. Actor Will Smith in the movie ‘Pursuit of Happyness’ didn’t look this dawdy even though he went straight for his interview from jail. This applicant she was sure wasn’t coming from prison. Let’s hope he’ll give Ol’ Will Smith a run for his money with his responses and win the heart of Mrs. Alabi in the process.

From the embarrassment on her face mixed with shock, she forgot to offer him a seat. Her long stare at him in silence lingered for about 55 seconds but for Audu he felt it was the longest silence he had ever heard. It is the type English people will call deafening.

Sweat beads instantly formed around his forehead while his tongue stiffened revealing his front set of teeth while nodding his head for no particular reason as if he was savouring every bit of the office in relish.

Mrs. Alabi was still finding it hard to understand the reason for his awkward smile. Her patience was gradually seeping away. For goodness sake she is dealing with a graduate and not a pupil from primary school who is out on an excursion to her office. Had this meeting not been initiated from LinkedIn, she would have walked this young man out! But seeing that she was on a mission to couch a young graduate who she believed, it was only a matter of time before this young serial job hunter today, a budding CEO tomorrow will be showcased to the world. With that consolation, she conquered the urge to throw him out but resolved within her to be firm with him until her goal is achieved.

“Hello Audu, I am Maria. I've been expecting you and I'm eager to teach you the rudiments of writing a winning CV, prepare you for job tests and interviews. Please have your seat.” She made a gesture with her right hand, her face straight, unsmiling.

Audu, pulling the chair opposite Mrs. Alabi backwards and then sideways thereby creating a wide gap between the table and himself, he sat down and rubbed his palms together. Mrs. Alabi’s eyes had not shifted from the laptop screen where it appeared as though she was busy searching for something very crucial to the meeting. As she did that, Audu’s eyes darted to other fixtures in the office and wondering to himself if he’ll ever own a briefcase like the leather one his eyes has just on.

“Yes Audu!” She called.
He jolted.

“Tell me about yourself, something about you that is not on your LinkedIn profile.”
An opportunity to sell himself had presented itself. He opens his mouth to speak but for reasons unknown to neither of them, his pitch was very high.

“Okay ma. Thank you ma. I am Audu as you know. I was born and bred in Minna. I am the first child of my parents. We are 7 in my family. My poor mother is widowed. She struggled to send me to the University of Nairaland where I bagged a bachelor’s degree. I came to search for a job in Lagos. Currently I live with my friend and we are managing ….”

Mrs Alabi – wide eyed, looked at him obviously revealing her supposed concealed disappointment. Cutting in, she said ‘Alright Audu…’

Audu, mistaking her response for ‘go on’, fired on carelessly, telling her what wasn’t on his LinkedIn profile like she requested.

“… I want you to please give me a job ma, I beg. Please help m…”

“Enough! Enough! Enough!” Mrs. Alabi stopped him. “You are a graduate and not a beggar! You better stop this beggarly act before I send you out never to return! To get a job, you must first be sane. Jobs are not given out of pity! Not here, not anywhere else. Do you understand?” She asked to be sure he understood why she was irritated.

“Now stand up. Walk out!”
Audu was confused. He almost knelt down to beg again, this time gesticulating but just one look at her and he knew it was a bad idea. He'd been traditionally trained by his mum to prostrate when seeking for forgiveness but professionally that was a recipe for disaster. A major blunder! He got up slowly…

“You’ll go out and dump your desperation outside, when you’re sure there’s no ounce of it left on you, you can then come back in here. I need to see a smart and confident graduate. Nothing less”.

Mathematics really isn't valued in Nigeria, which lecturers make known to their students who buy the idea that they are not sell-able but the opposite is true. You study some science courses, say maths, and cannot relate it to anything say finance, engineering, statistics then you've basically wasted your 4 years in school. For practicality sake do you know that there's a relationship between correlation coefficient and portfolio management?? Plenty of our so called mathematicians do not know. Some because they don't want to research, others have lost hope.
Mmmh. I understand. Some lecturers themselves don't know anything else outside the academic environment and so will not do justice to the question of "what hope is there for us Maths graduates?". I'm glad ignorance is no more an excuse. We can research and get answers.

I am a social science graduate by the way cheesy

What reason do I have to mock you? Why am I constantly on this forum if I have job myself?

The fact that you are not yet where you are expected to be shouldn't speak less of who you'll eventually become.
As for the apology, I don't know how to accept it cus there was no offense taken.

I don't know why you are always personate about everything even the way you write. I guess that's what makes you stand out
Lol.
Uhm... I don't know what to make of this reply.

Don't be mad at me. I'm like this because this is who I am. This is how my head works. I write the way I talk. That's why if I have a second moniker on this forum, I won't write any different from how I write now. Those used to my style of writing will know it's me at first glance.

They must be misinformed or rather they are lying, maybe they wanna study a science course but want to know its application before studying it.
someone with four to six years experience in school doesn't know the application of his/her course to real life? its hard to bliv.
it's true some people work outside the course of their study but that doesn't mean their own course doesn't av any application to real life.
pls, u can pm me if u want us to talk more.
Lemme not disturb this thread.
Thanks
Oh well, I find it amusing myself when I see such threads. First year first semester we were given the definition of our course and how it relates to the other courses in the faculty. Then we were able to see the relevance of the course to the society/state.

I wonder how anyone will finish studying a course for years and still graduate with doubts. It's hard to understand. But still those threads abound.

joshuakdboy:
I actually studied the rate at which susceptible individuals change with respect with time. I got a threshold reproductive number less than 1 which shows that the disease is endemic in the population. hence it's rate of spread is on the decline. I simulated using matlab and the matlab simulations further supported my findings.
I tested for the effect of public campaigns, use of protective measures such as condom and therapeutic dose.

the papers has been forwarded to a journal in france.
they approved it already and has asked me to pay for the publication which I already did.

they publish in quarters of a year, mine wud be published this fourth quarter which is by December.

I'd give u the author's copy for ur perusal.
it will be online hopefully by January.
Interesting!
Exactly my thoughts! Nice study. Great job!

I don't mind glancing through the author's copy at all. Where was the study carried out? South Africahuh

How please?
What are we still calculating?
Census?
Polls?
Numbering of houses?

What?
I'll like to know.

I've seen threads of people who finished studying some science courses in the University come here to ask what they can do with the knowledge? It's almost not practicable in real life. Relate mathematics to the world in general if you can.

I'm not in da field but I'm curious all the same. What has math got to do with HIV/AIDS? Are you looking at the probability of the number of infected people by the year 2025huh Or the ratio of males to females in this matter?
Jobs/VacanciesRe: I Am Frustrated........i Need A Job by amicable09(f): 7:40pm On Oct 25, 2016
So touching.
You must be around 30 years of age now. Must really feel bad, I can tell.

Why don't you take up a teaching job? Schools employ people of all ages. You can teach mathematics and further maths.

Please just do something. Read, if that will make you happy. Keep reminding your contacts that you are still searching for a job. I've read stories here of people who were unemployed for five years and one day their story changed. One day yours will change too.

Cheer up cheesy

If it were in 1824 before the era of change was introduced, I would have given you the 130k now without wasting time wink seeing that you have papers to publish. Papers that I will most likely read someday. I'm sorry that I'm cash strapped at this time.

good morning all

please someone asked if it is possible for one to carry some of his/her clothes to camp just in case he/she decides to start ppa immediately,, especially those living far away From where they were posted to and don't find it easy going back home to prepare,, will one be penalized or punished at the camp for bringing extra clothes?? tnx
Hi Joy, good morning.
I'm not supposed to be here but since I am and can offer help with answers, I'll do so.

You can go with your clothes to camp, you won't be penalized. But you can't go in with forks, knives, iron, ring boiler and all those appliances. I suggest you first stop at either corper's lodge in the state you are posted or a fellowship family house like NCCF or NACC or WCF. They'll keep your luggage safe while you head to camp with a smaller bag for convenience' sake.

I hope you find this helpful. Have a great camp experience.
Happy camping!
