Thank you for your feedback.

Semtu:
I've been following your thread bro... keep it up with the updates ... thanks.

What to note

Start as early as possible and be well-acquainted with the deadlines for the Winter semester (January), Summer (May) and Fall (September).

Also note that "Not all universities have openings in Summer, the predominant entry period for the majority of the courses in universities are Winter and Fall semesters".

Statement of Purpose (SOP)/Motivational Letter (ML)(carries a good scoring,make yours scholastic because this is how they will know whether you know what you want to do or not) .

Furthermore, draft your Statement of Purpose/Letter of Intent in a way that will communicate your educational background,experience,passion,interest,the relationship between your undergraduate course of study and you proposed Masters course,your personality,why you choosed the University, why the Lecturer etc .

(For your Statement of Purpose, Research Plan, Letter of Intent, Study Plan etc on : 08134657689).

Address the SOP statement of purpose) or ML (Motivation Letter) to the selected supervisors and send it to their respective email addresses; (Note that Foreign Lecturers treat emails seriously unlike our Nigerian lecturers). You can possibly attach some regular documents such as your transcript and resume. If you don’t get a response after five working days you can attempt placing a call to their Office phones or send the email again.( e.g you sent your application tomorrow being Friday, if you don’t get a response from them, send another next week Friday) but avoid bombarding them with emails so they wont see you as nuisance. You can imagine the number of mails these guys receive daily.

“Getting a supervisor” is a very important part of the application process because for the majority of universities in Canada,securing a supervisor is almost tantamount to gaining admission. It is always good to get the consent of a supervisor before going ahead with the payment of the application fee; remember application fees varies but is usually 100$.

Don't forget to Make Inquiries about the Availability of Research Funding and If you get a response from a Professor and he/she is willing to take you in as his or her student, then you just hit a jackpot and congratulations are in order because you have successfully secured an advisor. You can go ahead to make inquiries from the Professor if it is possible to be a beneficiary of a research funding and work as a research assistant. If you get a positive response as regard the funding, you will be required to work with your supervisor on a specified research topic and this just secured a job for you as a Graduate Research Assistant.(with a mouth watering pay, they call it stipends but it is sometimes around #400k/monthly but the amount varies. Some may even give you Field truck etc.

For Canada
Choosing your Proposed Course of Study
The number one thing is for you to choose your proposed Course of Study and also decide on the Research you will like to pursue. I mean your research title e.g “The Impact of Intelligentdude Consult in the Lives of Nigeria Youths”.

The world is filled with amazing opportunities; it is now imperative for you to know what exactly you are looking for. Knowing the title of the course and your proposed area of specialization is the first point of call.

The next move or task will be to embark on the look-out for where you can get what you want with what you have. Once you make a decision on the field you want to specialize on,take the next step by looking for schools offering your proposed course of study.

The next major thing is getting a supervisor.
Imagine thousands of applicants who dream of schooling in Canada on a free tuition basis.(You need a 100% commitment and determination if you want to follow the route of grant/scholarship)

GRE and TOEFL are not required in some Canadian universities but it is advisable to write TOEFL inorder to have lots of options.

Now the big question is: How can I secure a supervisor?

Pay a visit to your potential university website.
Most of us know: www.usask.ca.
Canada has few universities unlike United States of America just for the record.

From the University website proceed to the departmental website of your chosen course, e.g environmental science department then look for lecturers that are spearheading research works in your area of interest.
(there are various environmental science research, you just need to choose the one that interest you .It is always cool if have firsthand knowledge of the research especially if it's related to your BSc research work or your work experience).

There is usually a link on university websites that shows you where to get a University lecturer’s contacts i.e your potential supervisor for your graduate courses.

Ensure you go through his or her past and present research areas of interest. They always have one particular research focus unlike what is applicable in our dear country.

Scholarship talk centered on different countries especially those we are familiar with e.g Canada, USA, Germany,UK and China.
We will talk about Canada/US,GERMANY and China.

Let's start with Canada because statistically, everyone now wants to go to Canada because of the great opportunities in the country.

Getting scholarship abroad is not a one day journey, it's requires continuity, endurance, perseverance, hardwork not neglecting the God factor. The decision to study outside your home country is very enticing but is not always very easy,especially when you are trying to get funds from the school or professor.

Canada for instance is a good place to study especially if you would like to stay and work after study. Most schools don't ask for GRE and Toefl especially if you are from Nigeria.

To get scholarship/grant in Canada requires great determination and consistency but believe me it is very possible. We have a member of our group (Creative Minds)presently studying in Canada via Research grant. In the year 2017 while he was serving,he chatted me up telling me of his intention to further his study after NYSC. I had to draft his Academic CV and gave him tips but he was more than determined,he did extensive research and did lot's of skype interview with Professors in his field in different parts of the world.
He later go a grant and he is presently schooling there while working as a graduate assistant in Canada.

The following are the things to put in place before embarking on a scholarship journey


1. Prayer

2. Get your certificates ready i.e degree certificates plus transcripts.
Getting transcript in a Nigerian University maybe a bit tasking because you may be applying to different universities. For every application, you will have to request for your transcript from your University which means your school would charge per transcript per school of application but a good way to solve this issue is to use a travelling agent or the organization you are working with. You can pick the transcript once you school sends it and then you can proceed to making different application to different schools. We have solved the transcript issue right?

Some thoughts on CV.

Providing too much personal information may expose you to discrimination. Unless otherwise stated, the following information does not need to be included in your cv - Nationality,marital status,religion,date of birth,gender etc.

However, for fresh graduates who are below 27, the age might fly here.

Secondly , including your photo on your resume is generally considered a bad idea. If a company actually wants to see your face,they may look up your Linkedln Profile (this is the reason why you need to have a Linkedln Profile).

Thirdly , Convert your resume to PDF before emailing it (unless otherwise stated).
Word versions can appear distorted on some devices. Make sure your resume looks the same to everyone that opens it by converting it to PDF.

Fourthly , Not all skills and duties are relevant for your resume .

Your resume is a marketing tool, not a historical document. There’s no value added when you include irrelevant skills and roles you played at every job.

Furthermore, if you are guilty of funny emails such as : slayqueen16@hotmail.com, sexytacha@gmail.com etc, you need to create a Professional email address .

Create an email address that includes your full name.

THE DO'S AND DON'TS FOR ENTRY LEVEL JOB SEEKERS


1) Don't wait for a job offer to jump-start your career
When jobs seem to be few and far between, it's easy to get discouraged and feel as though you have no control. A good piece of advice is that you don't have to have a job offer to get your career started. "Say you're a newly minted journalism grad (for example) — you've got to get out there and start building your journalism résumé now, even if you haven't been offered a job. Start a blog, get involved in industry organizations, volunteer your writing services — create your own opportunities. And this advice applies across industries," says Charles Purdy. Get motivated by researching the backgrounds of people you admire in your field. They had to start somewhere, too.

2) Don't make your cover letter and résumé all about you
While the main purpose of your résumé is to highlight your personal experience, when employers view it, they're really thinking about themselves and the company. "It's important to remember the cover letter and résumé are about what you can do for the employer, not the other way around," says Josh Tolan. "Showcase the skills you have that are most relevant to your prospective employer, and keep the focus on the company's mission and goals. In your cover letter, mention something you admire about the company and how a specific skill you have could benefit that aspect.

3) Do develop networking skills
In other words, talk to as many people in your field as possible, keep your professional online profiles up-to-date, and keep in contact with any former colleague or manager who could later serve as a reference. As Charles Purdy notes, you should "be smart about networking and your online profile — looking for a job isn't just about searching online and pressing that 'apply' button. After that, you've got to do some research and work your network to find an 'in' at the company." Whatever you do, don't burn bridges with any personal or professional contacts — you'll be exposed to more opportunities and potential success.

4) Do treat your job search as a full-time job itself
Candace Williams puts it simply: "Hustle. Finding a job is a full-time job. If someone were to ask you, 'What did you do to find a job this week?' you should have a long answer that includes time sending résumés/cover letters, networking events, cold calls, informational interviews, research, and time crafting your portfolio/interview materials." It's not always easy, but your hard work will eventually pay off, and you'll definitely thank yourself later for putting in all those hours that led to your success.

5) Do your research
Landing an interview during your grueling job search is an amazing feeling — but the work doesn't stop there. Well before your interview, you should start preparing as many notes as possible about the company and the interviewer you'll be meeting. "In order to be well prepared for an interview, make sure you know the ins and outs of your company first. Look at the company website, research their clients, and check out their social media presence — anything to ensure you're fully versed on the position and the company. That way, you can answer each question thoroughly, and more importantly, tie your answers into the goals of the company," says Josh Tolan.
