For obvious reasons graduates tend not to have a lot of work experience. That's the bad news, the good news is that employers know and understand this. What employers want to see in a graduate is future potential, ambition, a fresh mind and performance. Employers are often more interested in a graduates potential rather than their limited work experience. Successful candidates tend to be those who show motivation, enthusiasm, have transferable skills and are able to communicate effectively.

Key points to remember when writing your CV are

*. Do not underestimate how important a good CV can be towards getting you a job.
*.Hiring managers will decide within a minute of picking up your CV whether to reject it. Its vital you grab their attention immediately.
*.As a recent graduate it's best to start your CV with your education, unless you have an impressive work experience record.
*.Compensate for your lack of work experience by showing a detailed understanding of your target industry and of a prospective employers products or services.
*.Graduates submitting a CV to a potential recruiter should see it as an opportunity to show off their communication and writing skills.
*.Write a attention grabbing resume that not only lists your academic qualifications but also demonstrates your enthusiasm, understanding of the industry and motivation.

How To Write your CV

Remember a CV is there to get you a interview not a job. Write it with this in mind, if your qualifications are excellent then put these at the beginning of your resume rather than any limited work experience.

*.Write it using powerful, active and positive language, and ensure that it meets the recruiters criteria. To add a sense of vibrancy use industry keywords and verbs.
*.Look at the employers, are they a traditional company who value academic and intellectual achievements or are they in a new high tech industry that favors presentation and communication skills.
*.In your CV always include your mobile number, its easier for employers to contact you directly.
Also give your email address and make sure it is a professional sounding one, likesamuel.b@email.comand notsamsamtheman@email.com.
*.Your academic achievements
There can be a temptation to list in detail every grade for every course you have taken. Do not do this instead give a very brief summary of your education and focus only on relevant courses and grades.
*.Read the job description Analyse the job advert and find out what skills and abilities is the employer looking for. If required go as far as researching similar jobs online to find out the duties and responsibilities required. This will give you a lot of key data that you can use as a guide when writing your CV.
*.Write a new CV for each vacancy you apply to
Target and tailor the CV at the vacancy, company and industry that you are applying to.
*.Your strengths and achievements At the beginning of your CV list those abilities and competencies that are most relevant to the job you are applying to. These could be academic achievements or career skills.
*.Work experience Present these in reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent and then working backwards.
*.Other information Mention if you have a driving license, a interesting hobby or can speak a foreign language etc.
*.Show you knowledge of the industry Stand out from other applicants by going that extra mile and doing some research into the employers and also industry you are applying for. Research the company, has it been in the news recently for instance are they opening a new store or launching a new product. If so mention this in your covering letter or career statement. Mention the products of competitors,highlight any weaknesses or strengths that you can see in them.

Keep your CV simple, concise and to the point. Think carefully about what headings and sub headings to use. To keep the recruiter reading sprinkle your CV with industry keywords and highlight them.

Here are some more tips:

1.Keep your CV to a maximum of two pages.
2.If you are sending a hard copy then use good quality paper and a laser printer.
3.Use a font size of between 10 to 12 points.
4.Do not write long sentences instead use bullet points and short phrases.
5.Organisational abilities.
6.Academic achievements.
7.Any related voluntary work you have done.
8.Training courses completed.
9.Any awards for achievements.
10.Your ability to prioritise.

31. The honesty of some evolutionists

In biology, one of the most widely recognized laws of science is the Law of Biogenesis. “Biogenesis” is composed of two words “bio,” which means life, and “genesis,” which means beginning. Thus, this law deals with the beginning of life, and it simply says that in nature life comes only from previous life of its own kind. Over the years, the truthfulness of this law has been documented by thousands of scientists, most notably Louis Pasteur. His work dealt a crushing blow to the notion of spontaneous generation.

In 1933, evolutionist John Sullivan admitted that “it became an accepted doctrine that life never arises except from life. So far as the actual evidence goes, this is still the only possible conclusion”. Okay, but that was 1933. As we move further into the 20th century the obvious question was “Is it still the only possible conclusion?” What have we learned since the days of Louis Pasteur in the 19th century and John Sullivan in the first half of the 20th century? Observational science has reached the same conclusion experiment after experiment, year after year.

The eminent evolutionist George Gaylord Simpson and his colleagues observed that “there is no serious doubt that biogenesis is the rule, that life comes only from other life, that a cell, the unit of life, is always and exclusively the product or offspring of another cell”.

Evolutionist Martin Moe noted that “a century of sensational discoveries in the biological sciences has taught us that life arises only from life”.

More recently, staunch evolutionist Neil Shubin conceded the following in his book titled Your Inner Fish:
“I can share with you one true law that all of us can agree upon. This law is so profound that most of us take it completely for granted. Yet it is the starting point for almost everything we do in paleontology, developmental biology, and genetics. This biological “law of everything” is that every living thing on the planet had parents. Every person you’ve ever known has biological parents, as does every bird, salamander, or shark you have ever seen.... To put it in a more precise form: every living thing sprang from some parental genetic information”.

The importance of Shubin’s concession must not be missed. He recognizes that the actual scientific information verifies that life in the natural world must come from previously existing life. Yet he refuses to carry that fact to its proper conclusion: that life could not have sprung from non-living chemicals. Materialistic evolution cannot adequately account for or explain the most basic laws of science, not the least of which is the Law of Biogenesis.

If it is the case that the “only possible conclusion” which scientific evidence demands is that in nature “life never arises except from life,” then, pray tell, how did the first life come into being? Did it somehow break the most fundamental natural law of biology and arise “naturally” from non-life? Or is there another possibility? The truth is, there is another possibility (which science has not disproved), but it is one that evolutionists such as John Sullivan admitted that “scientific men find very difficult of acceptance”. According to Sullivan, “So far as the actual evidence goes,” biogenesis “is still the only possible conclusion. But he admits that it is a conclusion that seems to lead back to some supernatural creative act”. Do not miss the point: real, true, operational science indirectly supports a “supernatural creative act,” which implies a supernatural Creator.

Evolutionist and Harvard University Professor George Wald similarly admitted in an article he wrote titled “The Origin of Life” that there ultimately are two options for life’s origin:
(1) spontaneous generation and
(2) “the only alternative, to believe in a single, primary act of supernatural creation.

There is no third position”. Sadly, though “[m]ost modern biologists, having reviewed with satisfaction the downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis,” they are “unwilling to accept the alternative belief in special creation”. Rather than follow the evidence where it ultimately leads (to a supernatural Creator!), atheists would rather put their confidence in a theory that was disproven long ago.

Antony Flew, who for five decades was the world’s leading atheistic thinker, was forced in the end to conclude: “The only satisfactory explanation for the origin of such ‘end-directed, self-replicating’ life as we see on earth is an infinitely intelligent Mind”.


32. Man’s needs are insatiable

The ex-atheist C. S. Lewis, sums up all i wanna say here: "Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for these desires exists. A baby feels hunger; well, there is such a thing as food. A dolphin wants to swim; well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire; well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." (Mere Christianity, Bk. III, chap. 10, "Hope"

What exactly do we want?: To be the wealthiest, most handsome, most intelligent, the worlds first citizen, the worlds greatest etc.? The death of Muhammed Ali taught me a serious lesson. Vanity upon Vanity, all is vanity. If nothing in this world can satisfy my desire?. The most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.




These are just some of the reasons why I believe in God. Even if nobody in the world believed in God, I will always believe in God.

LESSON ELEVEN,THE LAST LESSON,ACTUALLY A QUOTE FROM THE MOVIE "ACT OF VALOR"


"So live your life that the fear of death
can never enter your heart. Trouble no
one about their religion;respect others in
their view, and demand that they
respect yours. Love your life, perfect
your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and its
purpose in the service of your people.
Always give a word or a sign of salute
when meeting or passing a friend, even
a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show
respect to all people and grovel to none"

My special appreciation to all GL members who have supported me since the first lesson,the likes,shares and comments are all source of inspiration,thanks to ruthobaz for the ramadan greetings on day 1 as her post gave birth to this lessons,I hope the 11 lessons will go a long way to unite and correct our various mistakes,thanks to you all.

Hello house

damogul:
If as you say, the objective was to protect our security and lives and not our feelings why then is it so hard to give us a simple exclusive section especially since you have declared via ur statement above that Christians are peaceful? Or is it because of our tolerant nature you probably feel any and evryone is free to take a jab at us be they occultist, traditionalist, freethinkers or atheists?

Regarding the issue of not doing it based on protecting our feelings is wrong on so many levels. I say this because 99% of threats and violent outbursts are based on emotional triggers caused (in this context) by religious confrontations. Its not enough to attempt to deal with the issue on the surface by offering physical protection as you put it but it is better to deal with it from the root and cut off the emotional connection and free criss crossing of faiths and let whoever seeks Christian or Islamic indoctrination do so based on their personal choices which is where you ought to have included a disclaimer in the islamic section and in the Christian section (when you create one) that "whoever chooses to enter any section be it Christian or Islam does so based on their choice and offering a yes or no option to proceed or not.


Like you rightly observed, Christians are peacful and when you continuously take away fairness from the top and as a norm choke those who need it the end result is lack of faith and belief in the system or even in their own system.

What is worth doing is worth doing well....DO THIS WELL.

Dream2:
We have 6GPZs in Nigeria,if you search the thread properly,it has been discussed so many times,the SouthWest,SouthSouth and the SouthEast are all considered as SOUTH while the NorthWest,NorthCentral and the NorthEast are all considered as NORTH in which you have to choose 4 states excluding your state of origin and the the state where you schooled,as at last batch,they were to choose 2northern and 2 southern states.
I do hope this explain all,but if you have any other questions please feel free to ask,we've got some gurus that will do justice to that.

Yunisa001:
Good evening, dis information is 4 all d awaiting corps. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!! you will be asked to choose the state of your choice,but it must be a state outside to ur geopolitical zone. So you can check out this for you to know where you can serve and where you are free to choose. If your own state fall under southeast, it means you cant serve in southeast. this will guide you on what to do...................SOUTH EAST- 5 States =(Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi , Enugu, Imo).
SOUTH SOUTH- 6 States=(Akwa-ibom, bayelsa, cross river, delta, edo, rivers).
SOUTH WEST- 6 States=(Ekiti, lagos, ogun, ondo, osun, oyo). NORTH EAST- 6 States=(Adamawa, bauchi, borno, gombe, taraba, yobe). NORTH WEST- 7 States=(Jigawa, kaduna, kano, katsina, kebbi, sokoto, zamfara).
NORTH CENTRAL- 6 States=(Benue, kogi, kwara, nassarawa, niger, plateau).

NOTE: feasibility study shows that there shall be 7 geopolitical zones, which lagos shall be referred as one, but abuja shall be under north central
zone. 1. Prepare Your Mind:
First and foremost, you need to prepare your mind that you are leaving home for a regimented life in the camp. Life in the camp is deliberately made stressful so as to prepare you for any challenge that may confront you outside the camp.
You will not find it too comfortable, It’s a camp and not your Father’s house! Just be ready for anything.
2. Itemize All Your Needs Using A Scale Of Preference
(very important ones first):
1. Very Important Ones
a. Statement of Result
b. School ID Card
c. Passport photographs (30 copies, Surplus is better than inadequacy)
d. Call-Up Letter (DO NOT laminate it please)
e. A Clear Bag file (To house the above items)
NB: Get 10 photocopies each of items A,B, and D above.
The copies may be surplus.
2. Important Ones (For your Convenience)
a. Stapler, pin and office gum (will save you the stress of ‘borrow-me’)
b. Two or three white T-shirts and shorts (You will be
given two sets but you may not like the quality)
c. Two or three pairs of socks and a white rubber tennis shoes (for rainy days)
d. Bathroom slippers and Dettol
f. Two plastic buckets (You can buy it in the camp but it will be more expensive) and a permanent marker
g. Sponge and its case, bath-soap and detergent
h. Bedsheet, towel and wrapper and two pairs of casual wear
i. Mosquito Net (not compulsory)
j. Handkerchiefs (very important especially for those that sweat)
k. Waist bag (very very important for housing your phones,
ID Cards, Handkerchief, biros, etc)
l. Novels
m. Small-sized Torchlight/Rechargeable lamp (small one please)
n. Your ATM card(s)
o. Cooler cup and spoon
p. Phone and charger
q. Beverages
r. Ladies could add any other few conveniences. I believe you understand me
s. Money! Money! Money! Hold good cash please
depending on how you spend
3. Go Early:
Please, no matter how close the camp might be to your street, enable to go early. If you are posted to a far state, go the day before the camp opens. They will allow you in.
Going late will make you go through registration stress. Be warned!
4. Screening:
The screening starts at the gate, where your loads are
open and thoroughly search. They don’t want you to bring in prohibited items like iron, knives, bombs, etc.
5. Registration:
The first registration will certainly be for hostel/bedspace, where you;ll be given tags to identify with. Then the paper registrations proper follows. try as much as possible to make everything available. Look out for information pasted on walls. Follow instructions strictly.
6. Your Kits:
During the registration, you will get all your kits (shirts, shorts and shoes). Use the marker to write your Code Number (CN) on them ‘sharp-sharp” You will also be given a tag that will show your CN. That will be your ID Card temporarily. You take it everywhere in camp. You will be given a meal ticket. Misplace it and forget about NYSC food.
7. Duration:
You will be in the camp for 20 full days. The 21st day is the day you will be leaving the camp.
8. No Room For Casual Wears:
Immediately you have your kits, only your T-shirt and shorts with the tennis shoe are allowed on you. No room for casual wears. Parade/marching training starts immediately. The soldiers will not give you breathing space at all. You will have the first one that same Day One. Watch Out! people could be fainting on the Parade Ground. You won’t faint, calm down… So eat well. It’s the stress that causes their fainting.
9. Morning Regimented Programme:
A small trumpet wakes you at 4am. Everybody gathers at the Parade Ground (PG) at 4:30am. You have your praise, worship and prayer the Christian and Muslim ways. After the morning admonitions, by 7am, breakfast follows! After eating, you will be called out again for the series of programmes lined up for you. Then you have your lunch.
Rest a little and you are out again for evening parade.
Then later your dinner. This will repeat itself everyday perhaps except on Sunday.
10. Hate The Food And Feed Yourselves At Your Costs:
You may not like the food. You can always go to the
Mammy Market (MM) i.e the Camp Market to fill your ‘tank’ with delicacies at your cost.
11. Stealing:
Stealing is prevalently prevailing at the Camp. This is
‘legalised’. They can steal anything. Be wise.
12. Soldiers:
Please i beckon on you all to respect and obey them.
although they are not permitted to beat you, however, they can punish you. No walking, its all jogging when they call you. Don’t prostrate or kneel down greeting a soldier. Do it the soldier way. They could be friendly anyway.
13. Allawe:
Your first allowance (#19, 800) will be given to you in the camp, and it will be in cash. All other ones will be through the bank. You will also get Bicycle Allowance.
14. Photography:
Photographers are going to be everywhere ready to snap you, please be prudent in spending.
15. By Now Your Done With Camp And Going To Your
Place Of Primary Assignment:
You will be posted from the camp to where you will work. The place you work in is called your Place of Primary
Assignment (PPA).
Hear this: most Corps members, I mean about 90% of the Corpers will be posted to schools (especially primary and secondary schools). Only VERY FEW will be posted to the universities, polytechnics and Colleges. Please! Don’t lobby for your posting. Don’t pay anybody for assistance.
Pray rather than pay. Gone are the days when Corps
Members are posted to Banks and Co. Receive the
shocking or expected postings as you receive your letters with joy. It’s a clarion call to service; that’s what dey call it.
16. Transportation Out Of Camp:
When you get your Posting Letter, the first place to go to is your PPA. If you are identified with the Fellowship in
camp, you may first report at the temporary lodge they will provide. Then you could report at your PPA later same day or the following day. Please, when you leave the camp, home- sweet-home will be on your mind, having been used up in the camp. But please, don’t go home straight. Please! Very few of your employers (i.e. PPAs) will send down vehicles to convey you from the camp to their workplaces.
Private and some Govt higher education institutions do. The Fellowship too make arrangement for you at your cost. Commercial transporters will likely be
available at the gate too. Be wise.
17. Accommodation At PPA:
You don’t know anybody in Benue or Kogi! Where will you sleep on the first day? The Fellowship may give you a temporary accommodation pending the time you will have to get yours. You could be lucky if your employer gives you a room. Many of them don’t give Corpers accommodation anyway. So be prepared to rent one at your cost. Your first ‘allowee’ which you received in the camp is already going down!
18. Clearance:
This is why you don’t have to go home straight. Your
registration (clearance) at the NYSC Office in the Local Govt you will be posted to is important. Failure to complete it before going home is the beginning of your problem.
He may begin to have problems with his subsequent
monthly allowances. Do all registrations first. Then you can take permission to go home. Long process! You will know why it’s so. Well, I hope these few tips will go a long way to help you.
In order to ensure a seamless registration process, printing of call-up letters and so on, prospective corps members are urged to visit NYSC sites
