ExpressBooking:
It is not true. Nigerian Government or federal airports authorities does not have any effect on ur Covid-19 test requirements when you are an outbound passenger. You are only bound by the Covid-19 guidelines of the airline you are using and the transit /destination country.

I traveled via Abuja with Turkish Airlines, I didn't do any Covid-19 test and nobody whosoever asked me about it from entering the airport terminal building till boarding the aircraft

Thanks man! I appreciate the info.

For those that travelled via Abuja, I heard you will be required to produce your Covid test result before entering the airport regardless of the airline. Are there specified testing centers whose results are accepted or only government hospitals? Is there anyone who has travelled via Abuja Or about to via Abuja?

Please share your thoughts.
Thank you.

Hi guys, trust we are keeping well? I see a few individuals have recommended Turkish airline, please what's their baggage allowance for economy tickets?

Again, where can I have the covid test done in Abuja without breaking a bank?

Thank you for your response.

One of my rejections reasons was evidence of sponsors circumstances, I don’t really know what that means

What other reason did they give?

.....

NotRegular:
Did your school help you contact the embassy?

Yaa, that's another side to it. Is it advisable to have the department contact Dublin on the Student's behalf or perhaps, Dublin will even frown at it.

Should we be bothered as the number of Nigerian visa applications processed per week is relatively low compared to other countries. Especially considering the number of studentsthat have applied for study visa. 7days for processing employment visa seems a miracle of some kind to me. Is it also possible they are processing without having the numbers posted on the relevant pages?

Any corps member serving in abuja? Please kindly reach me on admin@ngjpub.com



Thanks

You can join the group.

Positivist:
Is any payment attached to such submission?

Not at all.

It's sad enough to know the killings in the North East has lingered for years. It gives a deeply sad feeling,coming to terms how GOMBE STATE has become headline for most tabloids thanks to inversion of BH sect in the state.

Gombe State was once my home. Remembering my days as a corps member in that state, a lot has changed. No doubt,we witnessed a few bombings like the one that took place in Gombe State University back then,and others that followed. But today,GOMBE STATE has become a destination for the test-run of any locally designed and newly acquired weapon by this sect. It leaves me heartbroken knowing I still have friends down there.

The big worry is: where are my friends I left behind in GOMBE STATE? Are they still alive? How about the present and future corps members,will they be okay? Friends,I would want to plead with everyone of us. Let's connect with one another for the others and for ourselves. There is an us and we still need us.

Stop blaming employers — it might be you, not them

It’s graduation season, a.k.a. job-hunting season for all the young adults with newly minted diplomas. After the inspirational commencement speeches, it’s time to buckle down and plunge into the working world.

If you’re in the market for your first “real” job, here’s the good news first: You’re graduating into the best job market we’ve had in a long time. Employers plan to hire about 10% more new grads this year over last year, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. But that doesn’t mean you can expect anybody to just hand you a job, warns Scott Williams, executive director of the Career Center at the University of Georgia. “While they have, in fact, earned a degree and gained valuable experience, the only other thing they’ve earned or gained is an opportunity to compete for a job,” he says.

This is one of the biggest mistakes career experts say young adults make when embarking on the hunt for their first post-college position — but it’s not the only reason your career can experience a failure to launch. We’re assuming you know not to bring your flip-flops, your lunch or your mom to a job interview. Beyond that, executives and experts say there are a handful of common mistakes young job-seekers tend to make — often because of their lack of experience — that can keep you on the sidelines.

You’re a know-it-all. “[This] just comes off as fake,” says Jim Whitehurst, CEO of software company Red Hat. Don’t try to dazzle the interviewer with your knowledge — showing off is a turn-off. “Be yourself rather than acting like person that you think they will want you to be in five years,” Whitehurst says.

You flake out on your references. “Don’t make your references an afterthought,” says Joyce Russell, President of Adecco Staffing, USA. It’s going to look off-putting, at best, if you don’t have any former colleagues or bosses listed — even if they’re from an unpaid internship or volunteer position. You need to check in with your references before giving HR types their info. Forgetting to give them a heads-up is a seemingly small oversight that can kill your credibility. “Oddly enough, some applicants even include references who do not have many nice things to say about them,” Russell warns. Make sure you’re both on the same page. And remember, your friends and relatives are not references. Just don’t go there.


You abuse cut-and-paste. When CareerBuilder.com asked employers to name the top resume mistakes they see on a regular basis, two big ones were “resumes that were generic and not personalized for the position… [and] resumes that have a large amount of wording copied from the job posting,” says Rosemary Haefner, CareerBuilder’s chief human resources officer.

Your heart isn’t in it. No, you shouldn’t expect a job — especially an entry-level job — to fulfill your dreams, but if you’re just going through the motions to make your parents happy, for example, that’s going to come through in your job search. “Don’t focus on jobs that are… the most prestigious or that your parents want you to do,” Whitehurst says. Best case scenario: You break out the false enthusiasm and get hired. What then? “You’ll spend more time at your job than in anything else you’ll do,” Whitehurst points out. That’s a long time to put up a false front.

You’re lazy. “The job search is a very active process. Unfortunately, technology has made it almost too easy for students to ‘drop’ their resume and think they are done,” Williams says. While it might feel like an accomplishment to hit “submit” on an online job application, that’s really only the first step. You have to reach out to people you know, too. “Use your personal and professional networks — be sure to include LinkedIn — to make additional connections, learn about opportunities and research companies,” he says.

You take the first thing that comes along. No, you shouldn’t be super-picky at this stage of the game, but a survey from Adecco Staffing finds that long-term career growth is the most important aspect of that first professional-track job. “While getting your foot in the door any way you can is important… take a moment to assess an opportunity from a longer term perspective,” Russell says. Think about (and ask about) what kind of opportunity for advancement a job will give you, whether or not you’ll be given opportunities to develop professional education, an industry network and leadership skills. Not asking could telegraph a lack of motivation — or could end up stalling your budding career if you do manage to get the job. “These are all questions that you should be asking yourself before committing to a first job, so that you don’t make the mistake of getting pigeon-holed in a role with no growth potential,” Russell says.
