NYSCRe: Things Corpers Should Do After POP. by james2020(m): 5:38pm On Feb 13, 2013
rodeo0070: I understand the excitement that goes with passing out of service. In fact, you are so excited, you want the whole world to know. A lot of people show this by sharing their POP pictures and NYSC Certificates on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, BBM etc. You won't have to go for the CDS again, no more khaki trousers, no more of those heavy orange boots,
and for some, no more issues with your LI and so on and so forth. You just can't wait to pick your NYSC Certificate and run!. The Big question is, run to where?
The truth is, it's tougher out there in the Nigerian Labour Market. As a Corper, at least you had a monthly income. But after POP, if not retained at your work place, many of you will go incomeless (if there's a word like that) and hop into the world of job search.

The bad news is: Nobody really cares about you. It's cold and rough out there and that's not funny.
The good news? I care in my own little way. Consequently, I've compiled 7 tips to help you in this process.


1) Exchange Contacts with Others and keep in Touch:
It's very common for most of us to get so drowned in the excitement of passing out. During your POP, don't just pout your lips and take photos with your supposed Corper friends. Exchange phone numbers, emails, BB Pins with them and keep in touch afterwards. This way you can know what is going on in their lives and vice versa.

2) Create a Professional Profile:
I've come to realize that a lot of fresh graduates today underestimate the importance of a professionally drafted profile. Prepare a good CV and Cover Letter and keep them handy. Always have a copy in your mail box and if possible in your phone. You never can tell where they will be needed. You don't want to lose that mouth watering job in an Oil Company in Lagos just because you couldn't provide your CV when needed.

3) Relocate to Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt:

Talking about Lagos. The truth is, Lagos is a Haven of opportunities. No city in Nigeria has as much opportunities in Nigeria as Lagos. With lots of places to work and lots of things to lay your hands on, from banks to Oil firms, muiltinationals, NGOs, and even to the Entertainment industry!

Abuja is another good place to live if you are a job seeker. Though many claim that you have to know somebody who knows somebody that can give you a job. But in all, there are lots of opportunities in the Federal government parastatals, Ministries, International NGOs etc.

Last but not the least is Port Harcourt, the Oil city of Nigeria, with a bunch of opportunities in the Oil and Gas industry and other lucrative sectors.

My point is, these cities are the job hub of the nation. If you have long being a job seeker and not residing in any of these cities, I guess it's high time you packed your bags and and made a smart move to these any of these cities.

4) Network:
Leave your nest and start networking with other professionals.

5) Announce yourself:
Except for you parents and siblings, most people really do not care what you are doing. You have to tell them yourself. Let them know your are jobless and need a job.


6) Play:

All work and no play makes you dull. Do you think Exxon Mobil is looking for a dull employee? Hell No!

7) Subscribe to Recent Nigerian Jobs blog:

Lastly, you need to subscribe to an up-to-date job blog like mine (**winks**) to keep yourself updated with the Latest Job Vacancies in Nigeria.

TravelRe: Students In Switzerland/ Nigerians Living In Switzerland, your Experiences Here! by james2020(m): 9:01am On Feb 07, 2013
Thanks for the info, i want to knw if u are nigerian, and where in nigeria aswell. I have interest to get the citizenship. Let me know what you can do.
Santino1: Citizenship?? Except you have a Swiss partner you plan to marry or either of your parents is Swiss, then I'm afraid that is outta reach..... It takes 10-12 years to attain a permanent residence status (permit C), so you can figure out the rest for yourself.

But since your question is directed to miss-sweety86, perhaps she can help you out. tongue tongue tongue tongue
TravelRe: Students In Switzerland/ Nigerians Living In Switzerland, your Experiences Here! by james2020(m): 8:21am On Feb 07, 2013
I am no longer a kid either, i am a university graduate, i have interest on becoming a swiss citizen because of its peacefulness and low unemployment rate. I am now think of how to go about getting married
miss-sweety86:
I assumed you are not a child (the years spent completing your mandatory education count double for the number of years you have to spend in Switzerland to apply for citizenship), so I think your only option would be to get married to a Swiss partner! An even that doesn't guarantee to get a Swiss passport because you have to be married for a certain period of time with the person and show that you have ties with Switzerland (this is something that made me sure that my bf wasn't with me only to get a Swiss passport!) In any case, you have to prove that you are integrated into the Swiss society so you must know the language, history and stuff like that.
