10 Things a Graduate should do while waiting for a Good Job Offer

How to get Job Offers via Linkedin

Recruiting a talent for any organization is regarded as a very vital process in Human Resource Management. Recruitment in itself is expensive. It requires a great deal of time and finance.


If the right procedures are not adhered to, the recruiter may end up losing the best candidate for a position and the potential negative return on bad recruit can be as high as 200%. Hence hiring manager must ensure that they recruit the best candidate to fill the vacant position.

Here is a list of 3 things recruiters look out for in talent.


1. Competence –
This is could account for 60% of the total parameters used for assessing a candidate and most organizations will list competency as one of the most important factors to consider. Hiring a candidate who lacks basic skills, experiences and education required for the job will amount to training the employee after recruitment, except the organization have made plans for training. Such candidate will definitely be a bad recruit.

2. Work Ethics –
Recruiters often times ask, Does this candidate principles align with the organizations overall work culture and ethics? Culture is generally regarded as the way of life of a place. Every organization has a definite work ethics or way that people behave and interact with each other in the organization. It could also include mode of dressing. It could be difficult to cope in any working environment if ones work ethics do not fit.

3. Attitude –
Like some say, attitude is everything, recruiters would also want to find out if the candidate can be trusted with a task, if they are honest. Are they teachable? How about punctuality? Do they have passion for the role? How would they react to a challenge in the course of their work? Most interview questions are also tailored in this direction.

FixNaija:
I just sent you a PM, I'm one of those recruits that was laid off by President Buhari. #Nis2000delisted582 is our Twitter handle

Am happy you are a witness, you can tweet to liar Mohammed, tag the newspaper houses as well


Call that liar out

sexy74:
True talk Lai, but how many have lost their jobs since Bubu took over?

. That's a lie


Buhari fired the last batch of Immigration staff recruited under the guise that the recruitment was marred with irregularities and promised to hold the recruitment again.

Till date, no recruitment has been held.

The last I heard was that Those position have been filled with APC family members.

No truth can be found in the life of Liar Mohammed I wonder how he runs his family


Finally, why should this be a topic, is this an achievement?

Rubbish. Even last year Fashola was a speaker.

If he decides or they decide not to give him any opportunity it makes no difference.

Fashola is rich enough and can never be broke again in his life if he decides to stay away from politics.

He did his best to please Tinubu, but Tinubu is too greedy.

But why should we support this level of godfatherism?

Lagosians toil day and night to keep Tinubu a billionaire

san316:
TY is indeed a good man. But people change.

he changed to what at old age.

InansBobo:
not after three days but on the third day.
if you tell your friend on the third day, then it starts that day

on the third day after his death.

Olabenjamen22:
Lol, maybe you forget that there is nothing like calendar or clock during Jesus time, what they use to count date is night and daylight. So if i may ask if he die on Friday, how many days did he die?

Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The scripture said three days not 72 hours ok?

Lol u still don't get it.

If I say today that I will meet you in 3days. Do u start counting from today?

Dnaz:
During the time of Jesus . they didn't use the 24 hrs make one day method. Day is day and night is night. Day is counted from sunrise and night counted from sunset. Jesus Said he ll rise on the 3rd day which was Sunday, so 2 days from it is a Friday

error, hours make up sunrise, hours also make up sunset.

Jesus died 6hrs after crucifixion.

No need to argue sha as the day or time he died adds no value to our lives

Olabenjamen22:
Three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, not four days.

I can show you in the bible too but your counting is wrong

If he died on Friday, Sat makes it day 1, Sunday makes it day 2 and Monday would be the 3rd.

He was crucified on a Thursday, making Friday, day 1

Saturday, day 2 and Sunday, day 3.

A day is 24hours

Jesus actually died on a Thursday not friday

Nigerians are funny

Why is it difficult to accept that votes don't count in elections in Nigeria

Najia is a shameful place

I have never heard of this shit before

That commercial activities was shut down because a president visited the city.

This place is really a zoo

You gat balls bro.

Loyalty has many definitions

Tinubu don suffer

Lol it was technical defeat

I don't know what you mean by making money without skills.

What are you doing on fiverr without skills?

Anyway ...

MaziOmenuko:
Something is wrong with having $200bil reserve when there is hardly any infrastructural growth in the country. The reserves is to serve as a buffer when things go south (like in the case of crash in oil prices we witnessed last year). Reserves is not a plaque of honor to be hanged on the walls and appreciated.

You store up reserves to an extent but you must use your cash inflow to build and improve both human and infrastructures capacity else you will just be a 'buffoon' with plenty cash.

Those countries with plenty reserves started shoring up over time, and also ensured their human and infrastructural development was in sync with the growing reserves.

It is like a man with 6 figures in account but sleeping under the bridge and eating food without meat.

Hahhahaha

Is that no madness?

LordAdam16:
Yes ooo.

One way or another we'd progress even if it is at a snail pace.

The problem is all this lost time and wasted resources we'd never get back because of the silly brand of politics we play over here.

-Lord

One man was abusing GEJ when dollar rose from $145 - $185

Am wondering what that man will say now that dollar is $360

Hahahhahahhaha

LordAdam16:
It's all make believe.

They know they were communicating with ignorant people who would believe anything and not do critical thinking.

China's Agricultural Bank has a market cap of $1 trillion. Meaning even if someone mortgaged the entire Nigeria, it still wouldn't pay up to half the amount to buy the bank. China can plan and start a major project in days/weeks; in Nigeria it has to go through FEC, budget has to be ratified by Senate, then open bidding process must take at least 6 months for transparency reasons.

The recent spectacle where a road was destroyed by over 30 excavators in China overnight to make way for a new road network can be constructed was a project approved and funded by a local authority, not even a provincial authority. In Nigeria, that same project would take 2 years to plan, approve, and fund because of bureaucracy.

Even at that, with the enormous financial resources at China's disposal, roads are three times cheaper to construct in China than in Nigeria.

Why would they not go into hiding after deceiving themselves and creating impossible milestones. Let them come and create 3m jobs a year with 14% interest rate let's see. Or pay all unemployed graduates N5k a month with a N2t budget deficit. Or make fuel price N45/liter, when it is N250+/liter in Cameroon.

Just watch, they'd re-strategize and come up with new far-flung promises in 2019. And unsurprisingly, millions of Nigerians, including several of the pseudo-intellectuals on this forum would gobble it up.

-Lord

Bros I wish I can dig up the thread.

I explained all these.

Including the project itself start from survey, consulting the land owners and reaching a deal to get ROW can take months before the community will approve.

The youths of the community is another wahala.

Before 2015 , dredging and construction of piles had gone to advanced stage. I showed him pictures too and videos from YouTube.

These guys just live all their lives in south west and assume nonsense and spread it on their TV stations without even travelling to see things for themselves

I even asked him, if he knows the total length of the bridge?
Guess what the bridge has 8 lanes
6 for cars and 2 for railway

This projects can't be completed in less than 5 years esp with funding issues or level of water rises.

Even the monorail project Fashola started is not even up to 50% near completion.

Its well sha

LordAdam16:
Don't mind him and others.

The way they campaigned for him like he was the savior and Nigeria will become el Dorado within 2 years. Grown men believing in fairy tales. I'm glad they've all had a reality check.

Or not?

Make we wait until 2019 sha. Never underestimate the extensiveness of human stupidity.

-Lord

lol, he once compared China constructing a bridge within. Months, to Nigeria.

This is 3 years, Lagos /Ibadan expressway is still now near 50% completion neither is 2 Niger Bridge is.

Me no get strength to argue anything this time, na just to observe them.

But I have noticed that, some of them have gone underground

Including those that were paid are tired.

Article for a selected few who understand what it's about.

In November last year, during the Annual Bankers’ Dinner of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Lagos, Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria had projected that the country’s external reserves would hit the US$40 billion psychological threshold ‘before the end of 2018’. He probably did not envisage that his prediction would materialize just few days into the new year.The welcome accretion in reserves does not only reflect increased inflows on the back of higher oil output, uptick in crude oil prices, proceeds from successful Eurobonds issuances, as well as improvement in Diaspora remittances and foreign investments (thanks to the Investors and Exporters forex window), but also the apex bank’s proactive forex demand management strategy.

The exchange rate is simply the price of the domestic currency in relation to a foreign currency determined by market forces except in rare cases of complete fixed exchange regimes. Against this backdrop, the unprecedented increase in the country’s external reserves toUS$40.4 billion on January 5, 2018 fromcirca US$26.7 billion in January 2017 according to data from CBN,raises the question as to whether the monetary authority should not seize the opportunity presented by the healthy reserves to significantly influence a lower exchange rate, at least one that narrows the wide gap between the official rate of N305 per dollar for priority transactions such as external debt service and the interbank rate of N360 per dollar which is used for a sizeable number of daily transactions.

It will be recalled that following a slump in crude oil revenue (derived chiefly from the proceeds of crude oil sales)and shrinking external reserves towards the end of 2014, the CBN was compelled to devalue the naira from N155 per dollar to N168 per dollar in November of that year. When the forex crisis persisted, the apex bank again in February of 2015 implicitly devalued the naira pegging it at N197-N199 per dollar which was later in June 2016 abandoned in favour of a managed floating exchange rate regime. Not long after, plummeting foreign reserves resulted in the depreciation of the naira to as low as N520 per dollar in the parallel market leaving a wide premium over the official rate of N305 per dollar that fuelled widespread speculation and round-tripping. It bears repeating that the depletion in reserves was largely on account of low crude oil price and output amidst high import bills.

Today, this narrative has changed.According to data from the NNPC, oil production is currently in the region of 2.25 million barrels per day (increasing from 1.69 mbpd in Q1 2017) due to relative peace in the Niger Delta region. Similarly, crude oil price has touched the US$70 per barrel psychological threshold while foreign reserves have surged to US$40.4 billion from about US$26.7 billion in January 2017. On the demand side,import bill is recorded to have dropped from over US$5 billion in 2015 to about US$1.5 billion in 2017. In view of these improvements and phenomenal growth in external reserves, is the naira not currently undervalued?What is more, headline inflation has been on the downward trend from 18.72 percent in January 2017 to 15.90 percent in November last year. Yet, there has been no marked improvement (appreciation) in the interbank exchange rate since May last year in the light of the rise in the United States inflation rate from1.87 percent (year-on-year) in May to 2.2 percent in November 2017. So even from a Purchasing Power Parity perspective which takes into account relative price levels between countries, the naira seems undervalued vis-a-vis the US dollar.

To be sure, the CBN needs respectable foreign reserves to be able to safeguard the value of the naira, manage exchange rate volatility through sustained interventions, meet international payment obligations (the federal government is expected to repay US$500million on the maturity of its July ’18 Eurobonds this year), as well as provide a buffer against external shocks such as the recent crude oil price crash that plunged the economy into recession.No doubt, an optimal level of international reserves improves acountry’s credit worthiness.But the big question is: what level of external reserves is considered optimal for Nigeria? A study by Tule et al in 2015, which sought to determine an optimal level of foreign reserves for the country,provided a clue when itestablished a minimum core foreign reserves level of US$32 billion (being the equivalent of 7.2 months of import).It is instructive to note that the IMF recommends 3 months of import cover as a minimum benchmark for reserve.

At present, the stock of the country’s foreign currency, largely denominated in dollars, is said to be sufficient to finance more than 14 months of merchandiseimports. By implication, the supply of dollars has improved considerably. On the demand side, the CBN through some proactive measures including the restriction of access to official forex in respect of 41 items of import have succeeded in halting the haemorrhaging of the country’s external reserves.It is against this backdrop that a lower exchange rate is justified to support economic development.

Indeed, a weak currency is not in the interest of a mono-product country such as Nigeria especially now that the federal government is turning attention to foreign borrowing to bridge budget gaps. It is often argued that a country can boost growth by weakening its currency because doing so promotes exports but this strategy is not a one-cap-fits-all recipe. For instance, the People’s Bank of China (the country’s central bank) currently holds overUS$3 trillion of foreign exchange reserves and can afford to keep the Yuan (also known as the renminbi or RMB) weak which explains why it will buy US currency and treasury notes in the open market in order to keep demand for the US dollar high and cheapen the Yuan thereby facilitating the United States’ growing trade deficit with China which gives the latter an advantage in the export market. So, unlike Nigeria with a shallow export base, China can afford to power her export economy via a weak Yuan.

In his reaction to a call by the IMF, following the Fund’s article IV Consultation with Nigeria, to have the naira devalued some time ago, the former CBN Governor, Lamido Sanusi, had told CNBC Africa television that “we do not believe that the naira is overvalued. We do not believe that at a time when the oil price is going up and output is going up we should be losing the value of our currency. We also do not think that it makes sense, if the IMF is concerned about inflation, to ask a country that is import-dependent to devalue its currency. So the advice given by the IMF, frankly, is not based on sound economic logic”. This assertion by Lamido Sanusi is as true today as it was in 2011. By implication, the way forward is to reduce the country’s import dependency and strive to join the league of net exporting countries led by China. In the meantime however, there is the likelihood that the country’s external reserves will continue to enjoy more accretion in the course of 2018 if the OPEC/Non-OPEC member countries’ output-cut agreement (which extends till the end of this year) coupled with increased optimism about the global economy is anything to go by.Therefore, having largely achieved exchange rate stability in the forex market, the concern of the CBN now should be geared towards managing the growing external reserves in a manner that supports a stronger domestic currency.

Uche Uwaleke

hehehe, when I remember how you used to campaign for buhari
Hahhahahha

I have always suspected Yobo's wife to be a block headed woman, and with what she did am fully convinced of how much more of a dunce she really is, she is nothing but a complete bimbo.

Kenya Zimbabwe Uganda... Na Their Type Of News.

because Naija own no de reach journalist abi

By now, anyone who thinks that Nigeria cannot be islamized should wake up.


2016 - El Rufai paid herdsmen to stop killing in southern Kaduna.
2017 - Herdsmen Extended killing to SE, SW & SS
2018 - Herdsmen asking for colonies
2025 - Herdmen will kill the original owners of the land or send them away and nothing will happen
2026 - If you must dwell with herdsmen, you must obey their laws, (sharia inclusive)
2027 - Herdsmen reports to Caliphate, by now Caliphate would have established colonies across Nigeria.

All the countries that are Muslim countries today, check their history how it all began.
2017 was a turning point, they tried a lot including removing CRK and forcing all students to study Islamic course.

U guys have not seen anything.

I pity the youths like collecting peanuts from politicians and dancing along

Kwara, Benue, Kogi, Nasawara, Plateau & Taraba are originally and geographically mid-belt region

But they have gradually turned Northern states

Russia have seen the signs and is doing everything to reduce the number of Muslim immigrants.

Trump is doing same

UK is forming a friendly state but suffering suicide missions from time to time while the number of Muslims keep rising.

Israel accommodated them, today they claim Jerusalem belongs to them.

Let's keep watching

But the leader of Myetti Terrorist threatened a sitting state governor and nobody has cautioned him including you.

ofuonyebi:
Nigerians & their dull brains...most of them are blinded by politics when it comes to criticism..shame!

you all forgot that this was the same fasola who performed excellently as lagos state governor...

so, if the National Ass..failed in their duty only to approve the budget in sept. when the yr was over...you want the minister to jump the

legal stipulations for the award of contract..because u want him to work?....if u think he has misappropriated any fund

then, go and report him to Efcc...the whistle blowing policy is still effective....yeye spoilers ...if u hate a party...don't hate a hero..

Afterall, NEPA that has failed during PDP 16-yr corruption rule is now working with fasola...just in 3-yrs!

U are a dullard, generating 200bn yearly as revenue and implementing 20bn project is performance.

If I slap u ??

Commot for here
