johnamedu:
Very interesting and educating write up op. In fact, I was guilty of all and they almost ruined my life. Graduated at 26 and at 41 no wife, no good job, no savings. Waited for so long for my father's friend who worked with shell to help. Even when there was so much money to start up something for myself, I used it to pave ways for custom, navy, inec, and police jobs and it yielded no fruit. Unfortunately the money went into wrong hands. Finally I have realised my mistakes and things are going smoothly now. I thank God Almighty for that.

***********
During a robbery in Hong Kong, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank:
"Don't move. The money belongs to the Government. Your life belongs to you."
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.
This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.
When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her:
"Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is called "Being Professional”
Focus only on what you are trained to do!
When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school):
"Big brother, let's count how much we got."
The older robber rebutted and said:
"You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience”
Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!
After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him:
"Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.
This is called "Swim with the tide”
Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!
The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."
This is called "Changing priority”
Personal Happiness is more important than your job”.
The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million.
The robbers were very angry and complained:
"We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"
This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold". Crave for knowledge..
~Good morning~

#4. Thinking that success will happen by luck

This is the funniest mistake of them all. Many students just live their lives with no goals, strategy or plans for the future.

For them, life is about luck. They hope they’ll be very lucky after graduation and everything will just fall in place.

Well, please stop making this mistake. It is costly.

Put plans together, set goals and start to put in the required work now; don’t wait until you graduate.

Progress doesn’t happen by chance or luck. To make progress you need to do your part. As it is said;

Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness.
Finally

These mistakes constitute the reasons why too many graduates are unemployed today.

You don’t have to make same mistakes. Avoid them, and your progress after you graduate will not be slowed down.

The ball is in your court. Take corrections, take actions and make progress.

Now it’s your turn to add to the list; what other grave mistakes do you think students are making that can slow them down after they graduate?

#3. Putting their future in the hands of others

I have heard students say things like:

"My uncle works with customs and has promised to give me a slot after I graduate".

Now, I know I said you need to build connections that can be helpful, but that doesn’t mean you should depend totally on such connections.

Totally depending/relying on promises by Daddy or uncle John means you’re putting your future in their hands.

Please don’t do that. It’s a very big mistake. Nobody is worth you putting your future in their hands. God forbid, what if something happens to them and they become unable to help you as promised?

#2. Not making conscious effort to network/make connections

Many unemployed graduates today complain bitterly about how their lack of connections is the reason for their losses.

But then, the question is:

If connections can get you a job, why not start making connections?

Now, it is important to note that the environment higher institutions provide is excellent for making connections with 'destiny helpers'; don’t waste it.

There are countless caliber of persons you can connect with on campus. The mistake most students are making is not making conscious effort to build connections and network.

Please make quality friends. Do you have a politician’s offspring in your class or around you, make friends with them; such people easily find plum jobs and they might take you along.

#1. Waiting to finish school before they start practical learning

We all know that virtually all that we’re being thought in class are theory which are largely useless outside of class.

Again, we also know that the labor market demands practicality but a lot of students are doing nothing about that.

Students are not paying attention to learning the practicality required in their chosen career. Those who pay little attention are waiting to finish school before they start learning these practical aspects.

Now, that’s a grave mistake.

Imagine Yusuf; a fresh accounting graduate with an excellent CGPA, loaded with accounting theorems but does not know how to use the accounting software employers are hustling for.

Why won’t Yusuf be jobless? He’ll have to find a way to learn these software so as to make good progress. But what if Yusuf had learnt this while in school?

You need to learn the skills and practicalities required in your chosen future ambition before you graduate. Those who do will be making progress while others will be forced to remain learners.

I hope you get the point.

As students, our wish is to eventually finish school and step into the next phase of life with the hope that the next phase will be free of unnecessary stress and hardship.

None of us wishes to finish school, return home and then become stagnant. We all wish to continually make progress.

Whether it is entering the labor market to get good jobs or continuing in higher academic pursuit, our desire is to move forward in life. To make progress after graduation.

However, the sad but true fact is that a lot of students are making mistakes that can greatly slow their progress in life after they graduate.

Many have made these same mistakes and after they graduated, life had to correct them in a hard way; while their mates made substantial progress, they slowed down.

Now, if you’re currently making these mistakes, I urge you to put a sharp stop and quickly take correction.

What are these mistakes?

Besides, not everyone need the so sort after good grades, what some individuals need is basic education to be able to articulate their visions towards success. Serious education will come as distraction for these folks. They are eager to get to the labour market and experiment their visions and energy thereby fine tunning the ideas in their heads. Sitting down all time cramming books will never be their thing. While the books types will as well not be so interested in other things except books.
