CSTR1003:Yes and no. Yes, as it is in the 90th percentile and shows cognitive ability. No, as the GRE is not the sole determinant of getting a guaranteed scholarship or tuition wavier. Other documents like PS/SoP, LORs etc have their part to play and are very important. http://www.jarushub.com/why-universities-require-personal-statements/ P.S. 340 not 350. |

GRE With its history dating back to 1969 and administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for graduate programs into North American schools, and other parts of the world. The GRE, according to test makers, evaluates one’s verbal and quant reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills. It is not related to a specific field of study, but skills developed over a long period of time are vital for all. Unlike the GMAT that has four sections, the GRE has six arranged in three. Namely: Analytical Writing Section (involving two separately timed issues and arguments). Duration is 30 minutes. Quantitative (contains 2 sections and 20 questions per section; evaluates problem solving skills based on basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra and data analysis. Unlike the GMAT, the GRE provides a calculator in its quant section). Time is 35 minutes per section. Verbal (Ditto as the quant, it has 2 sections and 20 questions per section; assesses ability to analyse written information harmonise information extracted from it. Also assesses the understanding of relationships of among parts of sentences and recognise among words and concepts). The duration for a section is 30 minutes. An experimental or research section: Here, takers are given a similar format of the quant and verbal questions. However, they are not told which of the quant or verbal is experimental. Although, it does not add or reduce your overall score, but you cannot detect which section is experimental is thereby ensuring you don’t skip a section – for your own good. Additionally, you could be lucky not to face an experimental section on the exam day. However, if it is research, you’ll be told it is research thereby giving you the opportunity to skip it. The experimental section is not included in the paper-based exam. ETS says it is to gauge candidates for future questions. According to US News, the GRE is flexible due to the fact that it can be used for graduate studies as well as management programs (e.g. MBA). The GRE is currently accepted by over 1, 200 universities which offer business and management programs. As earlier stated, the GMAT is accepted by over 7, 000 business and management programs. So if you are going to business school, it is advisable to write the GMAT. However, if you’re opting for graduate studies, the GRE is perfect. If you might have a change of plans and aspirations, then write the GRE. POINTS TO NOTE Verbal: In the GMAT, you are tested on grammar and comprehension, while the GRE evaluates your ability with complex and uncommon words. Basically, if you are good in having a memory of complex vocabularies, the GRE is preferable. Quant: The math in this section is secondary school mathematics. However, with the inclusion of the integrated reasoning which is quite challenging, the GMAT quant section gets tougher especially for those not very versed in mathematics. Most people who have taken both examinations say the GMAT is rigorous quantitatively, while the GRE is verbally more challenging. The GRE can be used in place of the GMAT, but the GMAT cannot be used to replace the GRE. This depends on a program's requirements and institution. Finally, it is important to research about the school and program’s requirements before you make a decision on the exam to be written. The GMAT is a tried and tested examination for B-school, but the GRE provides another opportunity for students who might change their career plans from the business world. http://www.jarushub.com/gmat-vs-gre/ 5 Likes 1 Share

By Uchechi Moses An advanced education forges one’s career or enterprise forward. Whether you desire to go to graduate school or business school – it is an important step in one’s life and career. In order to achieve this, you must write certain examinations (LSAT, IELTS, TOEFL, EJU, GRE, GMAT etc). The GRE and GMAT are amongst the most sought after, with the former being the most preferred for graduate studies and latter for business and management programs. GMAT The GMAT (Graduate Management Aptitude Test) is organised by the Graduate Admission Management Council (GMAC). It is a computer-based standardised examinations taken majorly by candidates aspiring to study management courses, including MBA, MSc. Accountancy, MSc. Finance amongst others. Founded in 1965 and accepted by more than 7, 000 business and management programs in circa 2. 300 graduate business schools globally, the GMAT assesses the possibility of graduate student success in business school. It is formulated to assist business schools and candidates understand their readiness for the rigorousness and intellectual activities you will experience in a graduate management program. These skills, the GMAC says, are important prerequisites for classes and activities you will face in a graduate program commencing from Day 1. It has four sections: - Analytical Writing Assessment - Integrated Reasoning - Quantitative Reasoning - Verbal Reasoning. The AWA assesses one’s critical thinking skills and measures how you communicate ideas. Candidates are given an argument to analyse critically and write a critique of it in 30 minutes. Basically, it is all about how you analyse an argument. Only a topic is given and the duration is 30 minutes. One’s score in this section does not count into the final assessment. The IR section evaluates candidates’ ability to process information presented in multiple formats from different sources. According to the test makers, this is necessary in an increasingly data driven economy. This section has four question types: Table analysis, Graphics interpretation, Multi-source, reasoning and two-part analysis and is slated to be done in 30 minutes. The quant section of the examination assesses one’s knowledge of quantitative reasoning, problem solving skills, interpretation of data, and analysing a given information accurately. Knowledge of secondary school (high school) mathematics is important: Geometry, algebra and arithmetic etc. There are two types of questions here: Problem solving and data sufficiency. Where the former assesses your ability to reason quantitatively and solve problems, and the latter for understanding and analysing a problem and noting relevant information, while discarding irrelevant information. Calculators are not allowed in the quant section of the GMAT. Finally, the verbal section deals with your analyses of information and drawing a conclusion. It assesses your ability to read and understand written material, gauge arguments and sentence correction. Both the quant and verbal section are slated to be completed in 75 minutes respectively. 3 Likes 1 Share |

KrystosCJ:Most companies pay between 130 - 500K naira monthly to their entry level staff upon recruitment (this is dependent on the industry as the oil and gas industry pays the highest). An investment of less than 10% increase one's chances of getting a job (after passing the aptitude test stage) by 90%. That is, you pay 10K and get prepped thoroughly, this prep increases your chances of getting the job. Penny wise, pound wiser. As for the bank, we've prepped not less than 10 candidates for their interviews and assessment centers. And 8 got the job. Ask anywhere, we are Nigeria's number one interview and assessment center coaching firm. No one, absolutely, no one does it better than us. From NNPC to PwC to Friesland Campina to Aramco Saudi to MTN and lots more. P.S. Jobberman not us did the survey. In the article, they are referenced. |

The Best 100 Companies to Work For in Nigeria is an annual list published by Jobberman. This report ranks companies in Nigeria based on job satisfaction, employee happiness, career growth prospects, work-life balance and other relevant metrics as voted for by employees and career professionals. The 4th edition of the ranking considered a total of 2,156 valid respondents, consisting of career professionals and employees across Nigerian owned companies and multinationals. Top 5 by Sector Energy (Oil & Gas etc) Chevron Shell Exxomobil NNPN Total Financial Institutions (Banks etc) UBA Union Bank Access Bank CBN GTB Consumer Goods (FMCG) Guiness Nigerian Breweries Procter & Gamble Nestle Cussons ICT Andela Semfix IBM Laver3 - Men and women are almost as satisfied with their current place of work; 63% men while 61% women. - There are more women in entry-level positions, while more men with a slightly greater percentage occupy mid and senior-level positions. - There is a greater percentage of men in the higher salary bracket while there is a greater percentage of women in the lower salary bracket. - Men are also less willing at 24% to stay at their current place of employment than women at 34%. - Most entrepreneurs are over 40 years of age. - Pay is the most important factor for the younger demographic, closely followed by proximity to home. - Employees in more senior-level positions rate their companies lower; however, they are not as willing to leave as the entry-level employees, who have a higher flight risk. - On job satisfaction, business owners are looking for flexible working conditions and an opportunity for societal impact as their two top factors. - Entry to Senior level employees both seek the same two top traits, pay and proximity to home, although the order changes from pay to proximity as the levels go higher. METHODOLOGY In subsequent lines, we will examine the analysis of the methods applied for the survey. This covers details like the categorisation of respondents as well as parameters used in measuring job satisfaction. RESPONDENT CATEGORISATION Respondents were categorised into two broad sections – internal and external. Both categories capture employed respondents on the premise who provide an accurate view of the metrics used in the ranking of the Best 100 Companies to Work For in Nigeria. Internal respondents are employees who work within an organisation while external respondents refer to employed respondents who have moved on to other organisations. The key parameters for classification of respondents are highlighted below: - Gender & Age - Experience Level - Salary Level - Years of Experience - Job Satisfaction The major work parameters responsible for the satisfaction ratings, as indicated above were centred primarily on Monthly Salary, Work-life Balance, Career Growth and Advancement, Welfare Benefits and Job Security according to their order of importance to employees and career professionals. http://www.jarushub.com/best-companies-to-work-for-in-nigeria-in-2018-jobberman/ 3 Likes 1 Share

Naijaphobia:TOEFL depends on the school and department you are applying to. If it is required, it means you must write the examination. However, some schools waive such English proficiency examinations for students who can prove that they had their high school (for undergrads) or first degree (for post-grads) education using the English language. This can be found in Canada. However, we'll implore you to write the examination (TOEFL or IELTS) to improve your chances of securing the scholarship or funding. A SOP is usually demanded if it is the school that is funding your studies or it is a joint program (example is the MEXT by the Japanese government). Where you get to write the SOP to the scholarship body. However, it can be separate if the scholarship body is different from the university. Example is a private firm sponsoring students for post-graduate studies as part of its CSR. Here, you are more likely to write a personal statement for the scholarship body and SOP for the university. Two different documents and entities. 1 Like |

Recently, we got this from our mail. Hello, I studied Counselling in school because I didn’t get Accounting and because I had started with ICAN exams before getting admission. I finished with 2:1. I completed ICAN exams recently (can’t get the ACA yet because of work experience requirement). I started with CFA too, passed level 1, I have registered for the 2nd level. I finished service last year and I quite understandably expected to get a job almost immediately after service. I haven’t been able to get one thus far. So my question, do you think my course of study is working against me? Thanks You completed your NYSC not long ago, and you’re complaining? You’re very impatient. Job doesn’t come so fast for 90% of people irrespective of qualifications. I have friends that had first class in accounting (you had 2.1 in Counselling, right?) plus ICAN, and still spent up to a year at home before getting job. That is the reality. It is hardly out of place. For me, not getting job within 6 months of completing NYSC, irrespective of one’s qualifications, is not yet a bad situation. Even recruitment processes of some companies (all stages of tests, interviews, medicals etc) take up to a year. Your degrees will not land you job automatically, my brother. Where did you study Counselling? I hope it is a recognized school. While your course of study (counselling) is not so attractive to employers in this part of the world, the fact that you had 2.1, got ICAN and CFA 1 qualifications is a good remedial strategy. You did not tell me where you have applied to? What were you doing during your NYSC? Were you throwing your CVs around? How many companies have you applied to? Have you written any company test? If yes, did you pass? No matter the qualifications one has, job will not come and meet anyone at home. One has to hustle. I know many companies do not care about your course of study once you have 2.1. Good for you, you have more than 2.1, you also have ICAN qualification and already in stage 2 in CFA. The two issues I sense here are, one, you’re impatient and expected to get job on a silver platter and two, you don't appear to be equipped with right information. It hardly works that way. If you’re below 26 years, have you applied to PwC, KPMG, Ernst & Young and Akintola Williams Deloitte? These are the Big 4 professional services firms that recruit people like you from time to time. They don’t bother about your course of study once you make 2.1 and you’re below 26 years of age. Most banks also don’t care about course of study. There are many other firms like that. You just need to get the right information and probably shed your mindset that your 2.1 will automatically land you job once you finished your NYSC. My friends with ACA and CFA that you saw did not have that mindset. They loaded themselves with right information. And yes, it’s not so hard getting Accounting/Finance job with zero work experience once you get your strategy right and you can defend your qualifications by passing tests and interviews. All the best. http://www.jarushub.com/getting-job-after-nysc-how-long-is-too-long/ cc: Lalasticlala & Mynd44 13 Likes |

WHAT TO DO WHEN WRITING A PERSONAL STATEMENT Although there is not standardized personal statement format, it is good to structure it in such a way that it could easily achieve the purpose. A good example of a personal statement should take the following into consideration. Be Objective: Don’t write out-of-point. Write in a logical manner that conveys your experience and what it means to you. Lessons Learnt: Give meaning to your experiences; what you learnt and how it affected your career, education and life. Also, extrapolate those experiences into the future. Specific: Be specific. Narrate experiences with words that can be explained properly and aligns with the statement. No Negativity: If you desire to mention a herculean in your personal statement, it is important to describe it using the STAR method. Describe the situation and how it affected you, the task at hand during this period, the action you took to mitigate it and the result achieved. Through this process you present yourself as an over-comer even in difficult situations. WHAT TO DO WHEN WRITING A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RESEARCH SKILLS: Discuss the research you have conducted, title of the work, your responsibilities, with whom were you working with, and the outcome. It is important you display technicality as professors are likely to read these statements. Use terms they are familiar with as it portends someone who has some knowledge in the field (P.S. You don’t have more knowledge than they do). WORK EXPERIENCE: Discuss your work experience(s) and how it deals with the aspect of research. You might be asking, what if my work experience is different from my graduate program? Take them through what you did, how it affected you and what you learnt. Also, pinpoint the fact that you have been in a different industry, and such an experience(s) broadens your thought and industry outlook. RELEVANT OFF-WORK EXPERIENCE: Discuss your activities beyond the workplace. If you graduated and worked prior to opting for graduate studies, describe what you have doing: Could it be volunteering or prepping a group of students for exams? Include it and indicate how the experience; why you did it and how it helped you. ELABORATE ON YOUR ACADEMIC INTERESTS: Here, you talk more on what you would like to study in graduate school in detail to convince the faculty that you understand the scope of research in their discipline, and are engaged with current research themes. a) Mention your area of research interests. You could hypothetically define a problem you would like to address, and questions that arises from researches around. b) Research on the web for information about the faculties and departments you’re interested in, the staff and their research portfolio. Do they align with yours? If yes, mention it. You could also mention the researcher you desire to work with. c) Finalise your statement on a positive note, indicating your motivation and willingness for the challenges ahead. http://www.jarushub.com/why-universities-require-personal-statements/ 16 Likes 4 Shares |

By Uchechi Moses Universities receive admission applications from thousands of aspiring students. For instance, Harvard University had 39, 041 applications for her undergraduate programs in 2018 and accepted only 5.4%, University of Oxford had 24, 645 graduate students applying and accepting 0.215% in 2015/2016 session. What about the California Institute of Technology? She had an acceptance rate of 8%. In 2017, Wharton Business School had an acceptance rate of 19.3% while London Business School in 2015 had an acceptance rate of 26%. What about the renowned Harvard Business School? In 2017, she had 11%! Although, these are for schools that reveal her acceptance rates. What these statistics tell us is that it is highly competitive and rigorous to get admitted into top graduate programs globally. And even for less prestigious institutions, as the numbers of applications will swell. Just like you don’t automatically get a job because you graduated with a first class, getting accepted into graduate studies goes beyond one’s grades – which are usually impressive. These are the factors that play during the application process: · CV/Resume · Letters of recommendation · English proficiency tests’ results (this depends on the school and nationality of applicant). · Results of standardised tests (GMAT/GRE/SAT/TOEFL/IELTS/LSAT) · Transcripts · Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose The first five can make your application a success. How you deal with the last – personal statement/statement of purpose – can mar the application. WHAT IS A PERSONAL STATEMENT/STATEMENT OF PURPOSE A personal statement is an essay that describes the process of your strengths. Whether you are applying for a scholarship, graduate study or an MBA program, you would be required to write a personal statement where you will have to create a logical connection between your past, present and future. This includes your undergraduate experience (or high school for aspiring undergrads), work experience and future aspirations. On the other hand, statement of purpose is an aspect of one’s application to a graduate school or a professional program that tells the admissions committee who you are, what you intend doing and the impact in the society. You also need to explain how the school will help your career aspirations. There are usually little or differences between both. Some schools term it “personal statement”, others say “Goals”, “Essay” etc. A SoP or PS is needed to convince admission officers or scholarship awarding bodies on why you should be chosen. The requirements differ across institutions, disciplines and departments. But the underlying theme remains: Tell us why you should be given the scholarship or admission? The bodies in charge of accepting your PS or SoP want to see your enthusiasm, charisma, desire and character. The essay should not only be convincing but also exhibit innate attributes. See your SoP/PS as a cover letter conveying why you are the right fit for the job position. Admission officers don’t usually individuals with no record of doing something extra-ordinary, but rather they desire individuals who are balanced and have a fair view of the world. Ditto for scholarship board members who desire to see why you want the sponsorship and what you would do with it. Furthermore, applicants should see this write-up as the opportunity to explain why they are the right candidates for the program and why the program suits them. As this provides the occasion to further discuss your strengths, competencies, values, goals and experiences. This makes you a unique candidate and not just making up the numbers. For an undergraduate program, tutors are not only interested in your academic ability but also potential. They desire to see you are truly engaged to the course of study. These include relevant extracurricular activities, engagement with the course of subject. Don’t write your personal statement as a checklist of required achievements but explain what motivated you to apply for the course and how your life experiences align with it. 19 Likes 3 Shares |
