I can help you look at it and share my thoughts but I will not be able to edit for you.

The list is endless.
Trust me there is a lot you can do.
Considering the fact that anybody can work in any industry in Nigeria, you actually have numerous options.

However, if you would follow the career path for psychologist it will be:

a) They make great Human Resource personnel.
b) They are great counselors (Child development and the likes).
c) They make good investigators and interrogators. Perhaps a negotiator
d) You can be a Consultant psychologist if you pursue your academics up to PhD level.
e) Psychologist make great educationist.
f) You can delve into marketing with an MBA in marketing. You guys are equipped to understand peoples psychology.
g) With psychology you can be a Psychotherapist, Media and advertising careers e.t.c

It depends on the way you are looking at it. If you have enough dreams in you, you can actually achieve anything as most of these paths above has not been proliferated in the Nigerian industry.

More tips.

A) When you do not hear from an interviewer after a week (Except they mentioned exactly when they will contact you), send a courtesy email or a courtesy call requesting for feedback.

B) When you lose out on a job you so much want, cry about it. Yes cry! It makes you stronger and it makes you understand the implication of mistakes, unpreparedness, being lackadaisical about your career pursuit. Cry about it but more importantly, be angered to be better.

C) One of the best ways to be shortlisted is to follow all requirements as specified. Follow thoroughly what they have asked you.
For Example; Kindly use your surname with the position as subject. That's a very simple instruction.

D) Stop forwarding emails from phones and Blackberries without editing. Even the "sent from blackberry wireless" signature can bring bad luck. Edit your CV to the job specifications and apply accordingly.

The implication of not following C and D above is that, there are softwares that HR personnels use now that uses key words to discard CVs and applications before it even gets to their inbox. It removes all OND if they have asked for BSc. It removes all the ones that did not follow the email subject accordingly. All they need to do is enter the command on the software.

E) Learn how to use power words in your emails, in your application and most especially in your interviews.
One of my King-Killer-Sentence is after each meeting (I call it meeting instead of interview) I stand up and with sincerity, I tell my interviewer that I so much like him or her. Sometimes I tell them they can expect good results if I am taken. Sometimes I can give myself targets during the interview and tell them in so so months, there will be so so and so.

The list goes on but don't not let me bore you.

Nice.

Most bloggers have these rules, that rule to guide you with Adsense and blogging etc.
While they are useful, they leave out the most important things bloggers should be focusing on rather than Adsense.

WOW!!!
All these phone companies really spending money.

Quincyolarks:
Following with a ND in computer science!

If you are in Lagos and you have upper, I learnt the direct entry form for UniLag will be out shortly. It is better late than ever.

Besides, there a host of skills that are paying very well now that you can learn.

Content management.
Graphics design.
Software designing/ App designing/ Coding e.t.c
CCNA will get you networking jobs

All the above you can achieve without Bsc.

I have a skilful dude in my office who earns almost the same as me without an OND nor BSc. Dude is a god in Graphics Designing.
To put things into perspective, he also just bought a Nikon D665 I think last week. He is taking his love for graphics into photography.

Remember the Christian Bible: "Something like your skills will make you stand before kings".

*** I will not be doing CV for anyone. I do not want to start what I cannot finish.

*** I and my team will look at your questions and answer them accordingly only on this thread.

*** We will update tips and vacancies from time to time and how Nairalanders can make the most of it.

However, as a courtesy, I will do adaumendubuisi CV for him/ her. It may take time because of my schedule but will do it. PM me.

Good.

Nice. I knew a lot of companies will be recruiting starting today.

Human resources is very lucrative nowadays so I will say it is a better option.
Figure out how you will be able to get your CIPM in a year.
You wont stay on one spot forever so whats the fuss about getting hired and fired.

Only you can however make this choice depending on what the 55k job entails too.
How flexible it is, the proximity to your house amongst many others.

75k and 55k are expressly different. 20k is a lot in Lagos.
So the human resource is fine provided you are a goal getter and can get your CIPM ASAP (Weekend classes).

The world is not for the comforters or "comfortee". You have got to sacrifice sleep and solitude for greatness.

There are a host of things you can still learn in 2016. Great job for us all.
Read this thread I just created on jobs and vacancies and it will be updated regularly:

One thing about interview is that you just have to be smart. Do not be caught unawares. He is not smarter than you just probably more experienced.
Human resources has to do with management of people in a more extensive level including welfare, promotions, motivations, leaves, allowances and you must have key knowledge or passion for managing people to successfully carry out your role. So I believe it has to do with managing people.

In fact Human resources solves grouses and frictions in the work place. Ensures that disputes are resolved accordingly and that all staff are doing their jobs accordingly.

There are a host of things you guys should learn in 2016. This must be a different year for you and I folks.

The only limitation you will experience is the ones you have created with the chains on your own mind. You are limitless.

Recruitment stages of NIBSS, PWC, DPR, Fidelity recruitment stages on www.HRtechnique.com

I will be updating this thread every now and then with new trends in employer-employee relationship as well as new trends in recruitment processes and career growth. Sometimes job vacancies too.

Morning folks. One of the general resolutions most of us must have made is to have more money, to experience growth, promotion, success and most especially new jobs. Will like to be a part of the people that will make the latter possible.

So to start with, here are few tips you must take very seriously to get a job:

Social Media:
a) Own a LinkedIn profile. www.linkedin.com
b) Have a working number on your profile and yes on your CV.
c) Do an audit on your social media profiles. Update responsible and funny tweets etc and reduce those immature comments you always make.

Contacts:
a) Always stay with your phone. The world is moving towards conducting phone interviews more. This is to recognize confidence over the phone and your understanding of the job but more importantly to sieve the too many applications they got.
b) Have a professional email. For example ronke.yusuf@yahoo.com
c) If possible, put an alternative phone line on your profile or CV. I am sure you understand the network challenges in Nigeria.

Resume/ CV/ Application:
a) Employ the service of a professional CV writer.
b) If you are not good with applications, get a mentor to help develop your writing skills. You will need this on the job.
c) Ensure your CV contains what skills and experience you have. Do not put what you do not know.
d) Make sure your CV do not exceed two pages if you can.
e) Do not be tempted to send random applications to numerous companies. Send tailored applications.

Job websites:
a) Be on the lookout. A host of companies will be recruiting as the economy progresses.
b) Make use of Nairaland job vacancies. I myself have benefited from this section greatly.
c) While you should visit job websites, be weary of the vacancies you see there. If you doubt a vacancy, come over here and ask. Better still create a thread or search on Google. Google is a good friend.

NB: The traditional methods of getting jobs is fast eroding. You have to be smart and strategic nowadays to get a job. You do not necessarily have to know someone who know someone. Put on your thinking caps. This is 2017, grow with the times.

Research on the organization when invited for interviews. Find out how the recruitment process is conducted and what to expect.
There are examples of the stages of NIBSS, PWC, DPR, Fidelity recruitment stages on www.HRtechnique.com

A tip for you.

When you see a vacancy, do not just apply by sending your cv to the general email. There are chances they may not call.
Get up your feet and go directly to the company. It is worth it.

You could go the extra mile of asking to speak with the HR. Very receptive companies will allow you. Yes they do!

You could search that particular email on Google and you will be surprised by some other emails you would get belonging to same company.
SEND A GREETINGS EMAIL WITH A LITTLE PARAGRAPH INDICATING INTEREST IN THE COMPANY.

This tip may sound stupid, but it is those who challenge the status quo and are not dogmatic who make things happen in life.
This has worked for me. It can for you.

just to join words here for the purpose of enlightenment, I work with the jovago arm of the same company... the probem is not perculier to easy taxi alone
ever since buhari assumed office, they have struggled to pay salary,funds could not be transferd, all thank to cbn's forex policies.

The same challenge that easy taxi, jovago faces is experienced by most foreign companies in Nigeria...gradually, but surely,the government is bent on strangling these thriving an exciting tech startups.
These businesses have tried to survive even with the hostile business environment in the country...but the economic and monetry polices of buhari look like its going to be last straw that breaks these giants of companies that gives hope n empowerment to ordinary nigerians.

This does not makes sense. Not analytical at all.

Well... One side of the story.
This is an attacking write-up too. Biased and sentimental.

Tech companies spend a lot of cash and if the revenue does not cemmensurate, it may affect over-head which includes staff, closing down inefficient branches amongst others.

They probably made some mistakes in the past and it will take a lot of effort to build. Cutting down cost, restrategizing, re-orientation and some massive visual marketing campaign.

Making it will require someone who is good, visionary, passionate, hardworking and a leader.

All the best.

To the person who called their MD lesbian, are you perfect? Do not sound sanctimoniuos please.

Lol.
Funny.

Kingy10:
I don't understand bro, how's the government crazy?, because mtn was given a fine?....why won't they overcharge when you heard that all the network providers use more than N100m per day to power there mast, after all, glo,airtel,mtn n etisalat charges are almost the same OR do u want a private organization to run into a loss in order to satisfy the citizen...go n check the list of richest companies, u ll discover that At&t n some other overseas network providers are there. What I only oppose it's the introduction of bulk advert messages nd unnecessary pop up. that's all....

You made sense bro.
Just my opinion anyway.

Creamish:
U skipped the below comment from the OP

Thank you Creamish. How are you?

mrDennis:
a very laughable letter... who told her they both shared a bed full of promises & love not raging konji inspired by drugs & alcohol? some people will just be obsessed with the lives of these artistes ...
imade, mummy n daddy loves u? lmao

Those guys spent a long time together. Even if it wasn't love, you will agree there was an "iota" of feelings and emotions. They were seen at events, parties etc.

It scares me nowadays.

Ah na wa oooo.

naughtynaughty:
haha..dis1 is strong ooo. Inshort I join u in givin up on ladies on ur behalf. Goan wash ur head shaa

Wash my head for?
Can you give me intelligent reasons why you make that comment.
Please make sense to me. Please.

Are these your imaginations or it truly happened.
I'm sorry I did not see the reality in your post.

However, if true, then apparently, HE should sit with HIS wife and demand for explanations.
It starts from there.

Nigeria's problem is our recycled leaders.
They don't even know the right policies to make.
The right selection of public officers amongst others.

The present government is crazy.
Don't be surprised if they shut them down today.

Nigeria's problem is our recycled leaders.
They don't even know the right policies to make nor the right battle to fight.

Would fine stop or curb these network providers over-the-to charges or they the government just want to get the cash and embezzle it.

Morally and spiritually/ religiously she is meant to keep the pregnancy.
The pregnancy is all part of the results of her actions and that of the guy so she has to live with it.

On the other hand, keeping the pregnancy may see her life flashing before her own eyes if she is not strong willed like Genevieve. As per marriage, Genevieve is not even married.

If she also aborts, perhaps that would be her last chance at getting pregnant.

So the ball is in her court... Make a choice and bear the consequences.
