Lol. Gee love, take it easy on him. He's different. In fact, most joblanders are. In Romanceland maybe that research may prove true but here, I've dealt with many and I can tell you honestly that they are just here for three things! Check butanep's signature (a joblander too).

odimbannamdi:
i think Butanep meant that since we aint adding any referees at all, there is no need adding the REFEREES section as opposed to writing "Available upon request".

I second his motion too

Ebiz12:
Oh okay, more orientation on this please

Ebiz12:
So so correct!
I don't intend to waste a whole year just like, I intend to sharpen my hair making skill by attaching myself to a standard salon as an apprentice, a good location I pray for.

kepal99:
Which skill can you encourage/advise someone to acquire?

dammytosh:
Check ur comprehension skills bro.

Wat i simply meant is that he can't quit just because somebody is frustrating him on the job.

If he starts a business and frustration sets in, he should quit too ?

I went to Naija few years ago,started a job with this company and it was something else,I had to leave after 3 months and left Naija. Naija office can be hell. Search for another job and leave.

dammytosh:
The last time i advised some one in a similar situation,

The question i asked was if he will resign if his pay were to be 1million per month after tax.

He replied "i will die there"

I told him "son, die there"


The best way to get back at eediots like that manager is to appear happy and form, " he no pain me" till he faces his own waterloo soon.

NYSC... I just laugh


National year of free and cheap sex.

National year of suffering and smiling.

National year where you think you are on top of the world only to discover something different after the year...

If you still think NYSC is an adventure, you are just joking with your future... Serve where you think you can meaningful contribution to your career or skillful life.


Turn NYSC to a full One year skills acquisitions programme to enable it make sense...

amicable09:
Beautiful contribution. I like your signature *smiles.

You are barking up the wrong tree Mr. whoever you are. Seriously you do not want to argue what you have absolutely no idea about.

I made a factual statement based on experience and you're here ranting to justify your insecurities. Young man am not here to make you feel good about yourself or your situation, neither am I putting anyone down for not having a Job. All fingers are not equal and can never be.

I get the need to encourage yourself and feel good about the certificate you're waving about, but do not for one second believe that I give a hoot about your "victim" mentality.

Again back to my first post, since you obviously missed it due to your very myopic view of other people's opinion I did say "MOST". Whether you agree with my assertions or not is again not my problem.

When employers say that MOST Nigerian graduates are not employable, they are saying it as it is, irrespective of the cause. This is not an issue for debate. Nobody said they cannot be trained, heck even a dog can be trained, but as a graduate, employers expect you to have a certain level of knowledge and competence before considering you for an offer. Unfortunately either due to our poor educational or infrastructural system or due to whatever reasons under the sun, Nigerian schools fail to produce the human capital that can drive innovation.

Yes I was also of the opinion of companies hiring and training staff, until I saw the business side of things, companies are fighting for survival, just as graduates are fighting for survival. Everyone is a victim of the system, so sitting in one corner and sulking because I told you the bitter truth displays traits of Insecurity.

@Bolded

Well call it trash, but get this clearly, having a third class was the best thing that happened to me If you ever get the opportunity to meet me in person, you may understand why I said that.

My last advice, deal with your insecurities, you sound like an intelligent fellow but your objective reasoning abilities needs some honing.

Have a fulfilled day.

Funny lady,

Sorry to spoil your mood and all other fellow Nigerian graduates.

To be frank nobody is downgrading Nigerian graduates, its the system we found ourselves. That not withstanding like I said on my first post, its a mean statement to make but sadly it's the truth. I am a Nigerian graduate as well from a state university for that matter.

However if you get the opportunity to sit on the other side of the table during interviews, you would understand why I said "I tend to agree" with the employers.

Sometimes I am too serious for my own good, maybe that's how I manage to motivate myself, all the same, the truth is always bitter.

I am still aiming higher, there is nothing like "almighty job"

Anyways thanks for forgiving me...
Wishing you all the best.

Do you understand the meaning of the WORD Hypocrite,
In what way have I been a hypocrite or practised hypocrisy, when people like you use words out of context it makes assertions of employers hold true.

Again, I said MOST, which means a vast majority, it certainly doesn't mean all, again it means that statistically the graduates that are employment ready when they leave the school system are few.

Irrespective of what might have resulted in the deplorable state of our educational system that has brought about our inability to leave up to expectations, this does not change the FACT.

On your believe that I assumed, I have attended interviews, and also had the opportunity to interview others, I can say for a fact that MAJORITY of students acquired certificates without any form of learning whatsoever.

Now back to being hypocritical, I studied in Nigeria, and I didn't even have the opportunity to study in a federal university, I came from a very modest family, plus I graduated with a third class YET I work with an international software company with team mates from different parts of the world. I didn't get here by chance, I made myself employable in the face of everything that was against me, and God in his mercies saw my sincerity and opened the right doors to me.

Being employable goes beyond your grades it has alot to do with your knowledge and skill set within your chosen niche. Otherwise going by your assertions companies should start employing graduates and training them afresh just because the system is hadicapped.

So please KEEP QUIET and stop calling people names you have never met or have no idea who they are.

Jamean:
Female Genital Mutilation - the partial or total removal of the clitoris or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.

The clitoris being a very active stimulant for sexual interests in women is cut off in the bid that it will prevent them from promiscuity. She gets married and is never interested in sex because her module has been tampered with. In an attempt to encourage hubby's efforts she moans fake sounds of pleasure and can't wait for him to roll off.....

Oh! Africa. So the men are left with the birth right of enjoying sex.
