Ymodulus, has given you enough information if you want to pursue your career in your major.

However, if you would like to change your career or pursue it in accounting/finance, you can still go for ICAN and other accounting professional body. Not being employed in the listed accounting/auditing companies put forward by Sir Jarus doesn't imply that you cannot get work as an accountant or financial analyst else.

Your class of degree doesn't stop you from getting job as a certified accountant but it may only limit you your chance.


I don't know much about their companies sha, but I believe if you can't get job at those companies as a fresh graduate you can later work there as an experienced accountant.

Don't let your class of degree be a constrain to your ambitions/dream

Thanks for helping me explain.

There are 1001 other firms you can apply to.

Many Nigerians don't care about others except #9. Even at that, people prefer to continue to "rough" it.

In all my 8 years career, salary has never been delayed for 2 days after the 25th pay day. Except in January 2009, at the height of the global economic crunch when it was delayed for 5 days ( we were paid 31st or so) due to cashflow issues.

Salary delay is not something I want to experience at all.

Funny way of making an unknown face popular. I knew his phone was never hacked in the first place.

Fall for the cheap publicity at your own peril.

Your hacker my *ss....

Cheap publicity TP who?

How will anyone use exposure of sexcapade as path to cheap publicity of all things available to use? Why not opt for an expose on how he secretly gave someone N10m?

The joke is still on him, not her.

I must confess Bukola Saraki is not a good advert as No 3 man for a government that wants to make corruption fighting its cardinal goal.

He is yet to recover from the damage of Alams pardon, you wan add to his international disrepute.

Itzlinda:
Jarus would you advised someone with second class lower in quantity survey to follow same route with the op?

Only that the bonus part would not be there. Those firms don't take 2.2.

Igba kan o lo bi orere. Oba mewa, Igba mewa

Everyone has a history.

Only roughly 20% of people are from rich homes and the rest 80% from poor homes. A good number of the 80% from poor homes must have gone through these kinds of jobs in their life. That is why GEJ's "I had no shoe" did not sell to me. Almost 50% of people of their generation did not. Obasanjo was even poorer.

MistarT:
Jarus baba , how things i have this question u can open a thread as per bros , the question is why are firms mostly employing OND holders but freeing HND or Bsc guys ? a guy used his nd to apply a job weeks later his boss was chatting with him and asked him that why hasn't he completed his studies because his boss noticed his exceptional qualities , he now opened up that he has a degree via DE to his amazement his boss said if he had given prior info. of his degree he wouldn't have gotten the job why is that so ?? person hustle finish degree them go begin wahala boys.Not fair.

Well, because the job is for OND holders. Jobs that require OND have little or no competition.

HND holders are competing with Bsc.

Orubebe part got me rotflmao

Ymodulus:
Thanks so much.

Without failing how many years am I looking at to get certified ? In both exams ( I.e either IcAN or ACCA )

You can complete them in 2 years.

Ymodulus:
Sir

Modifying something. Just booked space with that

1, Since you're beginning to like accounting, I will advise you go for accounting professional exams. ICAN and ACCA are both OK. ACCA is more expensive and has international recognition. I however have a personal bias toward ICAN.

2, I won't advise you to go for ICAN if it is not OK. But which is better? I don't know. Again, I have a personal bias toward ICAN.

3, If age is on your side (i.e below 23) and you can afford it or can get a funding, there is nothing bad in going for Masters immediately. But in what course are you interested in pursuing Masters in?

Bonus: Since you have made up your mind to pursue a finance/accounting career, start applying for professional services firms (PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY etc).

Thankfully all they need to invite you for test is first degree in any subject (including QS), 2.1 minimum, and below 25 for most of them. They don't need ICAN or ACCA to give you job if you do well in their test and interviews. But having that you're an ICAN student on your CV shows you already have interest in their field.

They're good training ground for many accounting/finance professional who did not study accounting.

Group CFO of Oando studied an engineering course and got his training in Oando. He's a finance guru today.

Thousands of them like that.

I think every zone has been adequately taken care of in the zoning formula.

Now that Amaechi cannot be the next SGF, I expect to see him in charge of a very powerful ministry such as petroleum resources, power or works.

Even a primary school current affairs student should know that Amaechi cannot be minister of petroleum, at least not under a Buhari government.

Too sensitive for a politician like Amaechi.

Ymodulus:
Hi ,

I am interested in getting an ICAN certificate, however am confused on some issues.

1. I just heard of ACCA and while reading through threads on nairaland. May adviced ACCA to ICAN while others advised ICAN to ACCA. My question is which should I go for?

2. For a non accounting student how do I start?

3. If am ready to sit for the exams , when will the next exam kick off? I know there are two diets ( May / November ) however I am confused as to which is which.


Thanks.

Cc: Jarus

1, Both are OK. ACCA is more expensive and has more international recognition. It's 50-50 for me. Just make up your mind and opt for one. I have a personal bias for ICAN though.

2, ICAN is now in 3 levels (4 or 5 subjects in each level or so). You start from level one. ACCA too has about 17 subjects or so. You start from the scratch. I presume you're a graduate.

3, Both are written twice a year: ICAN (May and November); ACCA (June and December). First thing is to register as a student. If you start today for example, your registration number will come out by June or so. Meaning the earliest time you can write first exam in November 2015. Same for ACCA. I don't know how fast their registration process is, but it doesn't appear you can write June 2015 exam, December diet is your best bet.

Here, all employees were given to be able to respond to email anytime.

The BlackBerry was also set for everyone's official signature.

There was a time I got a new replacement blackberry and had not reset the signature from "Sent from Blackberry.."

I sent an email to a top level person in our UK office with that BlackBerry signature and she just put a comment/reminder after replying my message, that I should change my BB email signature to official.

I have not remembered to change, but will do now.

That said, it is a very flimsy excuse to sack someone because of that.

The person should just be corrected, and at worst given a mild query.

Not a sackable offence.

It is actually achievable. He only needs the 45 PDP Senators and 10 APC senators.

But I trust Tinubu to nip this in the bud.

Are the traditional rulers also refunding their own?

We told them these people do not have control over 10, they were deceiving the president.

How will anyone go to interview in un-ironed cloth?

Nobody cares about any excuse.

Many options

Go and borrow clothes.
If you don't have money, borrow money and get a laundry man do it for you. You can do wait and get.

That's the silliest reason anyone can miss job for.

3. Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna

https://i.cdnnaij.com/o/PDrOAwehssVqHlSzlWxccIpZ.jpg

He was a Nigerian army major and high jumper. He became the first person from Africa to win a gold medal at an international sports event. He won the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. His winning mark and personal best of 6 ft 8 inches (2.03 m) was a games record and a British Empire record at the time. Emmanuel was an Igbo from Onitsha. Apart from sport achievements, he was also was a science graduate University College of Ibadan and became involved in politics, later joining the military.

And sadly killed in 1966 coup.

We may be wrong, but I saw some sentences that were word for word from our own list (like the note on architecture and Nursing).

Looks like someone tweaked our list and repackaged it.

We did similar list for JarusHub last year

I still believe Medicine is the most lucrative course though.

Frog-eyed sycophant..if nature was fair, this man would be Diezani Allison Madueke's husband..

You saw it(PDP's downfall) coming and u helped to chant "GEJ continue" despite knowing he (GEJ) wasn't a sellable candidate..you had the opportunity to decamp buh u chose not to, cos of ur greed.

He openly said that "GEJ must not continue, rather the party should field another candidate." He was ignored. But he only worked for GEJ as a party man. Unfortunately for him, APC was on rampage and consumed but him and Jonathan.

I have read the guy's columns a couple of times. He appears like an embittered person. His articles are too hate-filled for my liking. If he's not insulting his fellow celebrities, he's busy abusing politicians and public figures or parties.

She sees every guy that tries to initiate discussion with her or get her attention as wanting to "toast" her.

Not every man that tries to talk to you has that motive.

Some of us are just plain networkers.

Tony is actually bigger than ministerial or cbn appointment.

CHANGE has started

Self contain pass self-contain o

Self contain for Lekki, pass 3 bedroom for Ikorodu.

Story story. I was expecting to see quote of Buhari where he said "south east/Igbos cheated" or word to that effect.

So because he said elections in some area were a sham, he should go to school in MIT. I dey laff o

I guess the international observers that declared Rivers elections a sham also need to go to MIT for democracy lessons.

Trying to incite ethnic sentiments against Buhari.

Well, it's part of the game.
