It depends on the certification that you are doing. you need to ensure that the skill is high in demand in Nigeria.There are many certifications out there which i feel is not in high demand in Nigeria. for example, i don't think a lot of companies are using System center in their organisation in Nigeria (i might be wrong) so doing a cert on that might still not help in securing another job(IMHO).

I don't know how it works in Nigeria but you need to try and figure out which one is in demand. i know lots of Nigerians were doing cisco a lot back in 2006-2009 but i can't say if that is still in high demand than some other Microsoft certifications.

Thanks so much!!! Very insightful

Alright, keep wasting your precious time and money on irrelevant certifications instead of dusting your CV and searching for a real job. I comment no further

I av bin on a cross-road wit regards to dis same issue. I spent my little NYSC allawee on some courses & till date, I am yet to see how relevant those certificates are to me despite having them on my CV.

Recently, i want go for another certification because of d bad labor market. But i pause & think if dats wat i really nid, though i present work as a call center agent.

I am thinkin of either stayin on my present job & garner enough experience or continue searchin 4 jobs which may not be related to my present experience.

Ensure your basic computer skills especially excel is top notch, and keep praying for opportunities. Update your LinkedIn profile if you have one.If you don't have one, open an account immediately. Try your hands on project management courses or business analysis. If you have an aptitude for tech, try to learn Oracle SQL.

Thank you, sir!!! I will improve on d Excel skill. I already have a LinkedIn profile. I have a project management certificate though I am yet feel it impact since I completed d program & have it on my CV (did it with International Project Management Professionals-IPMP during my service year & it bears Certified Project Manager).
I can't really say i have aptitude for tech. I actually have problem with calculations & it seems d Oracle SQL you mentioned will b full of formulas.

God's willing d response & mentorship i would get from here today will mark d end of paying national & international CV Writers my hard earned money & still not getting interviews.

I studied Cooperative Economics & currently work as a Customer Care Rep in a Call Center/Telecom industry.
I have bin thinking on a career path and how to become a top notch in d industry. Is there any specialise course or something I nid to do?

I do apply for customer service related jobs & hardly get interviews but I am beginning to think i nid to be more specific & specialise in a particular field. Pls, advice
