TechEnthusiast:
Womanizing is actually a big mistake to make as a fresher.

Your points are OK but please exclude toasting and cramming.Those two aren't important.They don't bring good grades or a better campus life

But it is all part of it tho. I have seen people who dated girls that sponsored them through school.

Once in a while, Cramming helps you avoid poor grades. Na Nigeria we dey

Good morning pals!
Please is it safe for a young gurl (maybe be your kid sister, your girlfriend, or even your daughter) to have over 5000 friends on Facebook? 85% of these friends are not the people she know. I'm really bothered about this.

Isn't she exposed to danger? What can you say about this?

Mynd44

Opinions needed!

Please, can she sell her Facebook account to me? I would appreciate.

PM me for smooth transactions. #Thanks.

Most likely. Can you leave your cont.act details with me? I will help you out on how to get the materials and the exams too.

destino24:
That means I have to pay the exam fee before getting the materials?

Damdeyz:
Thank you sir, for such wonderful exposition, you said you were going to answer pertinent questions, I do have one. How about young graduates who desire to thrive in the world of public speaking? Is this feasible in our current economy? if yes, how can one navigate through and overcome? I am also interested in freelance writing, could you shed more light on this?

Sorry I answered late. I thought you were gonna ask on the blog. I will be writing much about this, so please just go to the blog and subscribe.

Meanwhile, for your question, It is possible but difficult. (I mean concerning the Public Speaking). It becomes easier only when you have some tangible achievements you have made already. That way, you no longer need to introduce yourself again.

As for freelance writing, anyone can become a freelance writer with ease. But you should check out your writing skills. Are they up to the desired writing ability?

You look Good.

destino24:
Bros, I have to prep for it first na. That will then determine if and when I'll be writing the exam. This is my first IT certification

That might be the condition to give out the materials.

destino24:
Ikeja, Lagos

If you can write your certification at our institute, I can ask someone to help you out.

IIHT Tech. I guess you've heard about us.

destino24:
hey Guys,

I'd like to take the N+ certification exam, i need materials to prepare myself.

Does anyone have any free dumps to help me out with?

Abeg, this is really important and urgent.

Thanks in anticipation.

Free Dumps? I can help you, but where is your location?

youngbravian:

Over time you will realize that there are certain skills every student needs to survive university campus in Nigeria. Without these skills, you might end up struggling till you learn it the hard way. I suggest you devote time to mastering these skills just before you head to campus.

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/bearsurvival__optimized.jpg

How do you combine your lectures and a part-time job? Or to create a side hustle while still in school? What about getting to pass exams even without attending class? Finally, how do you get to enjoy yourself like others even with a small monthly allowance?

Nobody will teach you all these, either you learn right now or you learn from experience.

I have compiled a list of necessary skills every student needs to have if you must survive in the campus. In case I miss any point, feel free to add up yours.

Cramming

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Speed-Reading.jpg

Imagine you show up in school just a few days to exams after a lengthy period outside the school. How do you get to tag along and still make good grades?

I wouldn’t advise you go into the exam hall feeling so blank, or asking how an equation was derived. You should know what you need to write, the rest will sort itself out at the appropriate time.

Cramming is a skill that needs to be mastered and utilized properly. As a young undergraduate, I used it so well and ended up with a very high second class result.

The only negative aspect of it is that; immediately after the purpose of cramming is passed, you forget everything you crammed.

Begging Skills

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/begging-skills-300x225.jpg

This covers all aspect of your student life. After skipping classes and you need someone to teach you all has been taught?

Reaching out to a friend to borrow you some money for Friday nights out? Or selling fake stories to your parents to get an extra allowance. All in all, you need all those white lies to get what you want without stress.

Endurance skills

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/hustling-students.jpg

If there is a skill you would need, it should be endurance skills.

Have you ever imagined standing up and receiving a lecture for 2-hrs just because you want to sign an attendance register?

Or line up the in bank for 5-hrs just to pay your school fees? Or even worse, fight in the long line just to run your clearance before an exam? You would surely need endurance skills in any Nigerian institution you find yourself.

Budgeting

The fear of going broke between the first and second week of every month should make you learn this. Every expense should be written down on paper and tabulated. This will help you limit your spending.

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/budget-skills-optimised-300x300.jpg

Living together with difficult people

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/living-together-skills__optimized-300x300.jpg

This is one of the major skills that students should have if you intend to have a good stay in school. Especially those who would be staying in the school hostel, you either learn it or you are in for a long thing with roommates.

Entrepreneurial Skills

You should learn how to look out for money making opportunities as a student and utilize it. By selling recharge cards, cooking for other students for a fee, doing laundry for other and collecting money, writing assignments, typing projects, and many other opportunities.

You have to figure out which one would suit you better and do it! You can Learn several ways to save and make money while in school

Toasting Skills

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/toasting-skils__optimized.jpg

The last but not the least skill that helps you survive the cold nights the on the campus. When the weather gets cold and others are busy, would you be found wanting?

Weather for two isn’t really you and your pillow! I guess you know what I mean?

I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN. IT IS FRUSTRATING,

BUT YOU HAVE TO JUST THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX! THAT IS WHAT INTELLIGENT PEOPLE DO.

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION

"WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC?"

THINK ABOUT IT FOR TWO WEEKS, THEN YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ANSWERS

lalasticlala, please find this post FP worth to enlighten.

rozay12345:
You are very right though, but have you heard that civil servants at certain cadre write examinations to be promoted? If you do not work on yourself, you would remain in that same position since it is very difficult to boot out a civil servant.

Exactly. But those guys don't even care about promotions.

Little wonder why Lazy folks have the best networks ... I just can't tell!!

AlexCk:
Connection shaa,
God dey too.

But that connection shaaa, especially tight connections.
Anyways, networking na the koko. Get more involved. Seminars, workshops, etc.

The Meme sef

SWORD419:
“I am a first class graduate, and I am looking for a job to help feed my family”

This got me ROTFL aswr

You would see that on LinkedIn alot

rozay12345:
In Nigeria and all over the world, connection is a required pre-requisite to get any hot job or placement, there must always be an insider who should do the dirty job of getting you selected. It is not a Nigerian problem, it is all over the world. The most important thing remains performance, if you are given a good job on a platter of connection, you would always be on a trial/probation period, if you fail to impress, you will still be booted out. Work on your connections and work on yourself. Examples of this scenario abound in every workplace.

Not in most cases Sir. Some positions just requires your presence.

Ask the Federal appointees in Central Bank of Nigeria

johncallidon:
Nice article.

Thanks bro

ukjerry:
Exactly what I've been saying..

9months plus and you're still searching for a job you'll likely be underpaid

If that 9 months had been used in networking and getting a connect(s) for yourself, you'll never be out in the streets again

Nice one!!

Never make the mistake of thinking of work experience after graduation; I will show you how you can gain work experience before graduation.

https://dailystudentinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/student-working__optimized.jpg

The fear of every employer concerning fresh graduates is the assumption that they can’t hit the ground running. This makes it difficult for young graduates to secure mouth watering jobs without a connection.

As a student in the university, it is up to you to avoid these pitfalls and do the right thing. Just in case you have forgotten, there are no jobs in Nigeria for graduates without connections. So if you are having the impression of graduating and securing quality jobs in oil firms and so on, think again!

Below are the ways students can gain work experience before graduation

Learn a skill relating to any Job sector

By now it should be clear that the Nigerian job market doesn’t discriminate in terms of course of study. I have seen Engineers working in banks; I have also seen Economics students working in a software development firm.

What you are studying at school shouldn’t be the basis of the skill you may wish to acquire. Personally, I always suggest ICT skills because it is one of the fastest growing sectors in the country.

If an English student acquires Software Development skills, the chances of getting a job than a Computer science student without this skill are higher.

Having a skill means work experience to the average Nigeria employer – just in case you have no idea. So this is one of the perfect ways students can gain work experience before they even graduate.

Carry out Projects relating to the skill learnt

Work experience is simply putting what you know into practice. When it is time to create a CV, and you have lots of successfully executed projects to your name, then it becomes easier.

Work Experience:

- I successfully maintained the network server of ABC Company and recorded above 80% uptime during work periods.

- I networked the WAN connection of Xyz CBT centre and had a smooth operation during the CBT exams.

This is how a standard CV of a fresh graduate from school should look like. Nobody will hire you for having a First Class. They will only hire you for bringing something to the table to move the company forward.

Write Certifications in your chosen Skill Sector

It isn’t too early to become certified. It gives you the advantage over those who will graduate with just their B.Scs.

“Do you know that CISCO Company gives special support to firms who hire certified CISCO graduates?”

If you assume that to gain work experience before graduation is early, then you are in for a long thing. Certifications are expensive; but if you have the money, write them.

Getting a job in Nigeria is already a difficult task on its own. The only trick is for students to gain work experience before graduation, so they can be well positioned over those who have nothing.

If you would love to know the skill that suits you better, please ask me using the comment section and I will reply you ASAP.

What do you think about this? You can find the full article on blog.

You can also test your interview skills on our blog.

Happy Monday Hustle.

Did I really pique your curiosity? I am pretty sure I did. I guess you might be wondering what exactly I am about to expose that most people don’t know about right?

What if I told you that no current relative of the president searches for a job, I guess you would say “I knew that already” right?

But what exactly is the secret I am about to unload right now? To be frank with you, what I am about to type is a secret because everyone seems to know about it, but only a few people use it.

Do you know that among the large number of people that come to attend an interview, that most times a candidate has already been decided even before the interview?

I remember a few years back when I was looking for a place for my Industrial Training. A few calls were made, and I was scheduled for an interview, among a huge number of other candidates. I wish they knew I was the chosen candidate already. I wrote the exam for writing sake – I am a pretty sure I failed woefully. But guess what, I got the slot – unopposed!

I guess you already know where I am heading to, and the secret is;

https://topwritersden.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Top-Secret-Job-Search-300x300__1509879986_197.210.227.203.jpg

Recommendation (popularly known as Connection) is the fastest way to get a job Unopposed

Knowing it isn’t the secret, it is definitely the application that becomes the secret.

How can you be able to get across that single person that would rewrite your story? Several times I have tried to give hints about it, but I would explain in details here. The secrets applications are;

Create an Aura of Value around yourself.

What if you discover that the person behind this write-up is just a market seller, would you take any of my posts serious again? That is the power of value. You see, someone can easily contact me now and say, can I employ you as a copywriter in my company?

I don’t need a whole lot of interviews to land the job since I already know the man at the top – so I am coming in unopposed. Let me repeat, you can never get something tangible by applying the tactics of self-pity.

I have seen a whole lot of social media posts that appeal to pity, and I tell you that only 0.1% of them end up with a positive story.

Imagine you are the CEO of a company, and you saw any of the two tweets below, who would you employ first?

“I challenge any CEO here to employ me as his sales manager and see if I would turn around profit within 3 months”

Or

“I am a first class graduate, and I am looking for a job to help feed my family”

Your guess is as good as mine – for any profit-oriented CEO.

I have written extensively on it on “Why you should adopt the fake lifestyle model” on the blog.

You will learn it in details.

Networking brings Connections

You really wanna create a powerful network with influential people? Then get off major social media and focus more on offline networking.

Join societies, groups, attend occasions and interact with great minds. That is how you get to meet people who can recommend you to bigger things.

There are several places, but I suggest you connect to the “Chamber of Commerce”, they will be sending you detailed updates about several conferences and Seminars within the Lagos metropolis.

Create a Professional Value around yourself

Have you thought about owning a business card even as a graduate without a job? As long as you have a valuable skill, there is always a name to attach to your Business Card.

I have written Some Top Skills That would Give you a Job FAST (on the blog), and it is left for you to either get any of them or keep hoping for some sort of miracle to come your way.



Getting connected is already a hard task than getting a job. Without connection you, you might get any job – but with the connection, you will get a quality.

Remember, the most common interview question these days is “Who sent you?” Once you give the right answer to that question, you automatically get the Job.
