Where are you based?

What did you study?

Send me your email address and phone number. I'm a recruiter.

I happen to run a HR consultancy (You know that by now I’m sure) and come in contact with a lot of clueless graduates who live in la la land and have no idea that their expectations can only be met in Eldorado.
So today, I just want to talk to you about life after school, Nigeria’s labour market and most especially your expectations about work. If statistics are anything to go by, as things presently stand:
40 million youths between 18 and 25 years are unemployed
1 out of every 5 adults in Nigeria is unemployed and just 1 out of every 10 university graduates gets a job!
80% of the country’s university graduates are unemployable!

I didn’t conjure the figures, sadly.

For those of you about to graduate, through with school or rounding off NYSC, the thoughts I’m sharing today are specifically for you.
While it’s important to be ambitious in seeking opportunities, it’s also useful to blend expectations with your level of education and experience. You are a fresh graduate with little or no experience. The situation in the job market is dire. Unemployment is at its peak. So you are somewhat disadvantaged compared to your more experienced contemporaries who have worked for a couple of years and possess skills they can show off to prospective employers.
Bearing that in mind, when a job opportunity presents itself, be careful not to price yourself our of the job market. Do your homework, what are wages like within that industry? How much do people with your level of skill and experience earn generally? Looking at the employer and the value you are offering, how much should you ask for? If you still cannot come up with a range, play safe and throw the ball back in their court. Ask them to make you an offer bearing in mind that they definitely have a budget for that position.

Having said all that it’s important to stress the fact that experience is more important than what you earn especially as a fresh graduate. To get to a place where you have all the aces, you need experience. Display some flexibility and enthusiasm! And even if what you’re offered is below what you expected, take the offer and learn! It increases your marketability and makes you more attractive to other employers.
All the very best.

Sorry, that’s the best title I could come up with

Jokes apart though, this whole attitude business is a serious one. Managing a recruitment consultancy is quite demanding. Add to that my very unconventional approach to talent hunting then it becomes even more stressful. Unlike most recruitment agencies, when I see something wrong with an application, I take time out to let them know what they’ve gotten wrong and provide advice on what they can do to improve.

So I was going through some CVs while recruiting for a client. Two particular CVs caught my attention. The first one was a lady-she got the spelling of her name (Her name for crying out loud) wrong and the entire CV was sprinkled with typos and grammatical errors. The second was a guy-He sent me a CV he had sent to over 10 other prospective employers; I know because the lines that come with forwarded messages gave him away. As usual, I sent them both messages letting them know what the issue was and why they should hold themselves to higher standards.

Trouble.

Here’s a quote from the guy:
I do appreciate your concerned but what do you expect from an applicant who can not afford to go to cyber cafe and send an application?, also i am of the opinion that as a human being we are born to make mistake, and learn from your mistakes, pls can u also check the scrutinize ur words and see your mistake, have a good day.

The lady had this to say:
Good day,thank you for the correction,but please also take note that no one is beyond errors…I have worked with this organization for 7yrs,and if i am not a detailed person i guess i wouldn’t have worked this long.

Can anyone see the number of errors in their one paragraph responses?
I let them know one crucial fact: they are job hunting, not me, so the onus is on them to prove themselves, not the other way round. From a recruitment point of view, I took out my very valuable time to explain attributes I can deduce from their responses above. You can tell a lot about a person and their thought process from how they write…

Maybe I shouldn’t have bothered, because their responses were a lot worse. The lady signed off with ‘good radiance’, I take it she means 'good riddance'. The guy tells me he’s working and to keep my job. Phew!

In their haste to make a point they forget that I will still post jobs they may be interested in but they may never be able to apply because they’ve bungled their chances; and it all boils down to their attitude.

So here’s the moral of the story:
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
You can’t keep making excuses for why you can’t succeed.
You cannot progress if you cannot deal with criticism.
Your words and actions have a vibe, they tell your story. One paragraph can tell a recruiter if you are detailed, sloppy, rude, haughty or downright careless.
Never respond in writing when you are angry. Writing is never a good way to resolve grievance. A lot can be misconstrued because of the absence of audio and body language. Take a breather, sleep; watch a movie or something. When you are calm and your emotions under check, only then should you try to let the other person know how you feel.
You can’t keep walking around with your nose in the air. You won’t make it anywhere in this knowledge-based economy where Fortune 500 companies recruit based on emotional intelligence.
As a new entrant into the job market you are perceived as a greenhorn, someone with a lot of enthusiasm and not a lot of practical knowledge. Be humble enough to learn from those who’ve been there before you. Try not to take yourself too seriously, laugh at your mistakes and make a personal commitment to execute with excellence anything your hands find to do.
Your attitude will open doors or keep them shut; remember that.
You know I mean well right?
Have yourself a wonderful day.
Xoxo

Hey,
I hope today’s been great so far.

So you’re a graduate and It’s been duanting trying to get a job and you think some factors are responsible for your inability to do so? Whether you are right or wrong is not relevant to the discussion, but believing certain misconceptions may actually hinder you from achieving your goals. So if you believed one of the following ‘myths’, it’s time for a reorientation:

1. You need to know someone high up to get a job (Friends in high places syndrome) Actually? not really! It doesn’t hurt to know people, but it doesn’t determine your success or failure and ultimately, even when given the opportunity, you’re going to have to prove yourself.

2: There are no jobs. Says who? It’ll shock you the number of vacancies there are out there…vacancies that never make it to the papers. My dear, there are jobs, but like I said yesterday, employers will only pay for value, real or perceived. Learn to sell solutions, not your CV or educational pedigree.

3: No one employs 3rd class and HND graduates. It can be challenging, especially because of our dependence on paper qualifications, and there are instances where discrimination has occurred but don’t let it stop you. One piece of advice- Work on developing critical job market skills and ensure that while you search you keep your mind active and invest in personal development. You have to give an employer reason to overlook your qualification and hire you now don’t you?

4: Your background is a minus: As farfetched as this sounds, I’ve actually seen how it’s crippled some people’s career growth. You feel self conscious cos you’re short, or from a poor home, or attended public schools or have a physical deformity? I’d say do something about it if you can, but if it’s something you can’t change, accept it and cultivate a positive outlook; it’s infectious. Besides, you’ll get a job based on the value you can add, not your height or complexion.
In summary, be careful what you believe, because it may eventually become your reality.
Have a great day and stay positive.

Hey,
You’ve just graduated and you’re wondering, so now what? Trust me, I’ve been there and I know that feeling. It happens especially when you studied a non-professional course like History, Sociology, Political Science, Theatre Arts, Philosophy. You know, those courses that leave you wondering what exactly you’re going to do with the knowledge you’ve gotten.
I’ve had graduates walk up to me a lot of times completely confused and clueless as to what to do next. Not sure what they want to do or what career path to tow, they just send out applications hoping to get any job. I understand how nebulous a place that can be, but applying for any and every job is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.

To get through that confused state will need some introspection: What are the things you love to do? What makes you happy? What won’t you mind doing for free? Makes you feel so bad you want to do something about it? What are your strengths, what won’t you be caught dead doing? Are you an indoor our outdoor person? These answers will help you know YOU better. A lot of graduates apply for jobs they aren’t suited for. If you’re not a morning person, you hate calculations, and will prefer jeans and t-shirt to a suit any day, what is your CV doing in a bank? If you end up getting the job you’ll be one frustrated person, trust me!

So the first place to start? Know thyself

After you have found answers to the questions I posed above, then look at industries that complement your person and your passion. You can’t add value to any organization if you don’t even know who you are and what you want to be in life, what you want, or where your strengths lie? It’s easy to excel when you are a square peg thrown smack into a square hole.
So now you know what your strengths are and the sectors you’ll like to work in. Good. Hold on, it’s not time to send your CV out, yet. The next thing to do is to research companies within those sectors. What do they do, who are their clients, what’s their history, what’s the size of their business, what is it like to work there, what are the opportunities for growth within the company? Get their annual reports if you can and study them. What are they doing right? What can they improve? How can you help them improve it?

It’s important to know these things, so when you send your CV, you send it with a solution in mind. Always think about work from the perspective of the employer: What you can give, how to drive their business forward, what their needs might be. It’s hard for any employer to turn down anyone with ideas on how to make their business run better, trust me.
Enjoy your day.

jude33084: Τhe office of τhe first lady is called what? is it an NGO?

Sweetheart, if the office is not recognised by the constitution, then why give it recognition it doesn't deserve?

Dame Jonathan is not a political office holder. She is just a perm sec and the president's wife. WHen will the media stop majoring on minors and deal with the issues that truly matter: Follow up on Farouk Lawan, make sure Arik resumes operations as travellers are going through a grueling time, follow up with budget implementation across board etc. etc. I hope someone is listening?

I hope they keep him safe, cos the number of people waiting to kill him ehn?

This is really sad to see. Irrespective of how stupid a father I have, I expect him to be respected wherever he goes. Those empty chairs are an insult to our collective consciousness as a people and anyone who finds it funny should bow his/hr head in shame

Wow, such a sad story. For his friends that helped out, may they never have cause to beg.

It'll be nice to know:
How many sessions of Chemo he needs to have and how much it's going to cost in total
Is he going to be rid of cancer after the sessions are complete? Why can't he just have surgery and remove the tumor once and for all? I'm asking cos Eko hotel is pretty expensive.
What skills does he possess that he can use to sustain himself while these sessions are ongoing? Is he strong enough to work? Even if on a part time basis? (He doesn't have to go out, a laptop and internet may be all he needs). DOing something with his time will help him preserve his dignity...I used to know a lady that had chemo sessions to treat her breast cancer during her lunch break periods in South Afica. She'll leave the office at 12 and come back by 1.30 every single day; if she could do it, I guess he can!
What part of town does he stay presently? A room self contain and basic furnishing will cost how much?

Bottom-line, if we're giving, lets know what we are giving towards so we can celebrate milestones and know when the job is almost done. It'll help, trust me.

Allow the kid enjoy her childhood!!! What's with all the make up?

Hahahaha. I can't stop laughing. Very hilarious!

An appeal from Jude's family. Please read below...
We write on behalf of Mr Ibezim Jude Osemeke to appeal to your good conscience to assist us in sponsoring him for overseas medical treatment. About four months ago, Ibe suddenly developed hearing impairment, change in voice and severe headache and weakness of the body. He was seen at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital by a neurosurgeon who then requested for a CT Scan of the Brain. The report indicated that Ibe has brain tumour called Chordoma. The neurosurgeon then advised him to seek medical attention abroad.

We have contacted several reputable neurosurgery centres in India and all are of the opinion that he will benefit from surgery. The definitive surgery which will be in two phases is estimated to cost 3.7 million naira (including the cost of transportation, lodging, operation fees, feeding etc).
Mr Ibezim is from Onicha Ugbo in the present Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. He is a Mass Communication graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State and had been unemployed since on graduation. His father is late and the family cannot afford the total cost of his treatment.
We humbly appeal to you to assist in saving the life of this promising young Nigerian.
May the Almighty God continue to bless and keep you and your family.

Please make your donations to
Name: Ibe Jude Osemeke
Bank: Guaranty Trust Bank
