Think Business As A Corper

Some people had huge plans of how their #19,800 paid by the Federal Government was going to be the solution to all their problems only for them to get to there and realize it is nothing compared to their huge appetites or growing needs.
Others have already seen huge money while in school so have formed the mindset that the #19,800 was nothing to count on.
There are others who flexed their entrepreneurial muscles in school and loved the thrill of business, so doing a business in their service year was a no brainer.
Then there are the people who have heavy responsibilities waiting for them at home and they are expected to not only survive but to also send money back home.

Whatever may be the case, corpers soon realize that the Federal Government salary will not be enough so they seek out ways of making more money while serving. Here are 4 businesses that any youth corper can do while serving:


1. Housing Agent:
Corpers will always have the problem of housing themselves in a new environ they enter and solving that problem is something that has the potential of giving you serious money.
If you are already serving in a state and have taken out time to know the state and their housing prices, you can easily do this business.
All you have to do is liaise with the landlords and make prior arrangements with them before the next batch of corpers leave camp.
Then you can paste posters of accommodation or talk to as many as you can about your solution to their problem.
You can always meet them at the secretariat where they are welcomed, at corpers lodges, family houses or at CDS. If you are able to get 10 people at #5000 naira profit each, that’s almost your 3 months salary.
Whatever be the case, try it out and see if it works in your state.


2. Private Tutor:
A large number of corpers will be teachers in schools.
If you are given the privilege of being a teacher, nothing stops you from teaching the students privately and making serious extra bucks.
People don’t know that private tutoring is serious cash in Nigeria today.
It can be your only source of income and you will still live fine and when you add it to your portfolio as a teacher, you are making serious money. It can give you as much as 50k every month.
Just make friends with the students, be a great teacher by knowing what you teach, meet their parents and talk it over with them. They will be glad that a young guy or girl is trying to make something out of his life and also help their children. Even if you aren't in a teacher in a school, meet parents in Churches, and Mosques or anywhere and tell them what you can offer. Another thing you can take is skills acquisition training, especially computer skills. You can teach any kind of skills you are good at. Just be sure to speak to the right persons.


3. Product Selling:
Most people will be thrown very far away from their normal habitat to a place they have never gone to before. Instead of whining and complaining, you can use it to your advantage.
You can buy goods that are cheap in your area and sell it for a huge amount of money in your new environ as it may be scarce and costly.
It involves some real planning and strategy but it works and people have done it.
You can buy palm oil in the east and sell in the north.
You can buy yam from benue and sell in bayelsa or any place you are.
You can buy cheap stuffs from Lagos or Onitsha and sell in other parts of the country like Abuja or Port Harcourt.
It has a lot of risks like transportation and all other risks of selling physical products like market penetration but if you plan well, you can do it and completely forget your alawee.


4. Internet Business:
The internet rocks right now and there is much work you can do on the internet to make you money as a side hustle.
There are emerging jobs like content development, social media management, social media marketing, mini importation etc that you can do and make serious money. Just go online and search for endless internet opportunities and key into one.


It is necessary that the youths understand that their destiny lies in their hands not necessarily the government or their families.
While you can complain and post on social media about how the government can increase the salary, you can still do something with your lives. Forget about the government salary as your main source of income and when your mates are anxiously waiting and crying for government to pay every month, you are living large and smiling to the bank always.

Like the one of the search for Job and attend interview before you are done with service year.

If you are serving in a state like Kebbi, Zamfara or Ebonyi, how possible can that be?

first of all, use your social media for job search. For instance, on Instagram you would see profiles like zamfara connect, ibadan brand, ebonyi247, kebbi jobs etc. Check for those ones that post jobs around you. Follow them and other related pages. These people are usually tagged to job vacancies around the state and they repost as soon as they see anyone available. Secondly, follow hashtags of job vacancies especially your state. Hashtags like #kebbijobs, #zamfaravacancies etc. Also, attend free conferences around you especially the ones posted on social media. You'll get to meet a lot of people who would help in one way or another.
The internet is there for all, make good use of it. Also visit www.dreamjobs.ng/jobs to search for some jobs around you.

Now there are three key people whom, if your CV can just get to them, they have the power to get you employed.

1. Heads of the department, unit or team in which you wish to work
2. The HR Manager
3. The CEO, MD or founder of the company

Please could you share or give hints of how or medium to get your CV across to such people especially if you do not know them in person

that would depend on the industry you are applying for a position.
Some places, you can even ask a security officer to point you to the office of the HR. There you state your reason for coming and drop your CV.
In some companies, HRs collect CV from people pending when there would be a job opening. Same goes for head of departments in some organizations.
For the manager, most times you have to know him in person to pull that off.

You can visit www.dreamjobs.ng/cv-services to get your CV professionally done in no time.

#CVTips: Do not overdo your resume. Keep it short and simple at no more than 2pages. Employers and HRs see hundreds of CVs at once and can't afford to spend time going through a long and complex CV.
