I studied industrial physics in UNIBEN...

solid job dey?

Raxxye:
I don't agree with you. Teaching in Nigeria is about the worst profession anyone can go into.
The pay is very poor; the experience cannot be used to get any other job outside teaching in another Private secondary School. In private schools, you'd hardly have time for any other thing because you're always overloaded with work.
So you lose on all fronts: no money, no useful experience, no mobility and the society doesn't even regard you!

I Studied Library and Information Science at the University of Benin.
Graduated Last year and I reside in Ugbowo, BDPA 19th Street by The Pedestrian Bridge, Benin-Lagos Expressway after UBTH.
I can teach English, Literature, CRK, Government and History.

I have a neighbour who resides in Benin city, works as a Physics teacher in a private school and earns 60k as salary, plus extra 55k as a private lesson tutor.

She was recently given a job offer, after applying, in one Microfinance bank in Trade fair, Lagos state. The Microfinance bank has its headquarter in Europe.
The pay is 76k for the first 6 months. After which there will be an upward review to 96k.


Problem is she doesn't know which one to choose, as she is tired of teaching and life in Benin. And wants to experience Lagos life.

I wanted to tell her of the life, stress and traffic in Lagos. But had to withdraw, because I haven't been in Lagos for years now. So chances are that i may tell her what is not true.

And secondly, she has no accommodation in Lagos, but wants to go stay with a friend.

I do not know what to tell her.

Your suggestion highly needed.

Thank you.

The article above should not be joke with, I am experiencing it right now, everything was verbal, we are talking about 250m. Like this, I also left without resigning. Before you work for anybody, you must have a contract binding both of you.

AfahaAbia:
Jobs these days isn't about what u graduate with but the experience you have. I actually graduated with a 3rd class degree, I am presently earning 210k while I just got another offer of 300k net pay inclusive with a flat, HMO and other allowances. So just try to take any job u can find, gain valuable experience and you will be hot cake.

sheDD:

PHIPEX:
Yes, @ KPMG. I was told I was a year older than their cut-off age during aptitude test/interview.

Looking back, am happy they rejected me

sammirano:
I'm certain you are one of the people against Tinubu due to his age.

Equal Employment Opportunity

Lately it has been challenging pushing the over 45 years into gainful employment.

They get thrown crumbs(low pay) as if it’s a favour we are doing them.

The narrative is the same, “they would not fit into our Succession Plan for the next level” or “they won’t fit into our culture”.

I have had to face constant “dueling match” 😀 trying to convince some CEOs and hiring managers to give this set of people a chance.

The higher you get in the upper echelon, the stiffer it gets to finding a satisfying job as opportunities get thinner.

With improved standard of living, access to health and education, the aging process is improving unlike 10-15 years ago.

I have seen some organization loosing the opportunity to dilute their work force and prefer being called “woke” because they have more people that are 35 years and below especially with the advent of the fin-tech industry.

👉🏽 There is a place for Experience in the work place!

👉🏽 There is a place for richness of ideas that experienced people bring on board.

👉🏽 Aging is a Natural phenomenon!

We need to be more accommodating and know that the job is all about right attitude and skills.

Outside this clime, you see the over 50 years and above still working and contributing their quota..

It’s time we stop judging people on the grounds of their age.

I bin old, i no kill somebodi.

Have you ever lost a job opportunity because of your age? Let’s share.

Tell him congrats...
He should go for anyone that aligns with his passion and dreams.
I pray I get this lucky someday...


@op. If there is any opportunity, I am a mass communication graduate. Experienced in writing, public speaking and teaching. I am also good in ICT related jobs.

Please refer me to any good opportunity, if possible. Thanks.
