My pleasure.

Helping her dad in the market? Chei. At this point, I say she's not an ambitious individual.
Ambitious = curiousity = information + qualifications = good jobs and scholarship(s) offer(s).

Please do, when she starts earning 200K and above monthly coupled with overseas training, she'll forget "markets" in Benue and think "stock market" . I also implore you to ensure her CV + Cover letter gets written by experts - Jarushub is king (even with interview brush up). Hopefully, we'll get to hear her testimony(ies) by mid-2017 all things being equal.

You didn't say anything about the graduate assistant position.

Thanks bro. I really pray she tastes the difference. She's not ambitious at all. As for the grad assistant positions, she said she has applied to some COEs around Benue. . Nonetheless, I will try to help her to submit some others. I appreciate

At no time should graduates avoid Lagos in his/her job search. Even when the firm wants employees in other states, the test(s) is/are normally conducted in Lagos.

Moreover, which kind of company(ies) has she been applying to in those regions that are in Biochemistry related fields? Furthermore, is it only Biochemistry related firms she has been applying to? She should change strategy and enter other fields (banking, consulting media or any suitable sector), unless professional courses she can work anywhere. Firms like Nestlé, Friesland Campina, Danone, NB plc etc, don't ring bells to her? Are they in Benue or any of its contiguous states?

Concerning tests, which one(s)? How has her performance been? Has she been invited for any interview(s)? What was the feedback? She needs to do a SWOT analysis.

She needs to do something about it, because as it's she has no considerable working experience(s) and age isn't on her side. I can only imagine another 4 years.


P.S. The school didn't offer her a graduate assistant position?

Thanks for the contributions. I perceive she's enjoying her comfort zone. She told me she helps her dad in the market. First class certificate getting wasted!

I'll try and make sure she applies to any recruiting firm, especially in Lagos. What a sorry case!

@ Gerrard59, She told me she had been applying, and doing exams, apparently to no companies in Lagos but in the East and Middle belt. I think that's the issue. Sometimes one cant afford to exclude Lagos in job search.
