One of the major reasons why some youths/people remain jobless for so many years despite their good grades, is their inability to serve or learn at free will. There are job opportunities virtually every day but most times with the clause; "with 1, 2, 3 years of experience". But people don't have this required experience and so are not qualified for such opportunities. Have you ever asked yourself how to get the so called experience? I will use my field (Engineering) as an example here, and I hope it will be useful for the younger ones or those still searching for jobs.
Please note, my analysis might not necessarily be applicable to all Unemployed Graduates.
Vacancy!!!
A transmission Engineer is needed in MTN.
Requirements:
1. Must have studied any of the following courses Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Engineering or any other relevant course.
2. Must have 3 years experience in relevant field etc.
Here we go! How will a person that has graduated for the past 3-4 years, studied the required course, willing to work as a transmission Engineer, get such opportunity without haven gained the required experience?
Organizations are no longer interested in using their resources to train graduates. It is you that will forcefully give yourself out "free of charge" to serve or learn on your area of interest and in the process, you keep updating your CV based on the experience you have obtained so far. You will give yourself out to do all sorts of "dirty" jobs assigned to you. You have to be humble and ready to accept whatever comes your way. That is where the experience comes from. That is the GOLD you are looking for. Now you are about to enter the fast lane. It might take you 3 -6 months, 1-2 years depending on how smart or lucky you are to have a good Boss that is ready to teach you the job.
As soon as you are accepted to start learning on the job, you can never be less than what you were at that moment. Why? Because whenever you are asked the question "what can you do for us"? It will be easy for you to start mentioning what you have learnt in your field that will convince the interviewers that to a large extent, you know what the job entails. Now, if you have successfully learnt on the job within 3-6 months and you have graduated for the past 3 years or so, what you have learnt within such period has covered for your period of idleness. You can conveniently convince anyone that you have a couple of years of experience and trust me, you will end up bargaining for your take home pay with a smile. You know why? Because you will be seen as an experienced person not as a graduate trainee any more.
One of my colleagues in the office once told me that he attached himself to his neighbour for complete 8 months without pay just to learn on the job. The first job he got after the 8 months was as an "experienced Engineer" with an official vehicle and a driver attached. Don't forget, get the experience first, then money will follow.
Another friend of mine graduated with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. He couldn’t secure a job for 4 good years so he decided to go into the business of renting wheelbarrows to Hausa trader in one of the Markets in Lagos. He wasn’t fulfilled with what he was doing until one day he walked up to one of their Church members, who happened to be a Boss in an oil servicing company in PortHarcourt that he was ready to work in their company without pay. After so much plea, he was considered and he worked for the company for 18 months without pay, just for him to gain the needed experience. Today, he is working with TOTAL LNG in Russia, based on his acquired skills. It was possible because he decided to serve free of charge in order for him to gain the needed experience that will catapult him to his promise land.
I am also a living example. I was attached to a sub-contractor in the city of Abuja some years ago. I spent 13 months, with 20k as my take home pay. Of course, anyone would know that, that was not enough for my transportation and feeding in a month. Exactly 6 months into the job, I got an invite for an interview from one of the leading Telecoms Company in Nigeria. In the course of the interview, I was made to realize that my scope of understanding with regards to the job was not wide enough for me to get the position. They mentioned other aspects I needed to know and I wasn't recommended for the position.
I went back home, attached myself for free to learn on those aspects I didn't know and I can tell you that I eventually got the job with same company 2 years after. So please learn to serve in order to add to your value for your better tomorrow. Learn to put the Cart before the Horse and you will be proud of yourself in the nearest future. Experience is the Money you are looking for. Don't wait until you get a job of 200k, 500k before you start doing something.
I hope this will help someone and people in other fields looking for jobs will also apply this technique. Knowing well that all Engineers, Builders, IT professionals, Architects etc. needs to be practically sound in order to make choices when opportunities shows up. I was inspired to write this note because presently we have so many graduates or people with no meaningful jobs who don’t have experience and opportunities keep coming without having those to fill such vacancies because they don't have the requisite experience.
Please note, in the journey of life, people get lost not because they do not know where they are going, people get lost in the journey of life because they lose FOCUS! The strength of destination is in the strength of FOCUS! Do not give up on yourself, no matter what you are going through.
Guys wake up. You are the only ones who can help yourselves. Stop apportioning blame to people for your inabilities to secure jobs or a future for yourselves. Time is no longer anyone's friend and before you say hey, it might be too late to re-adjust. I hope you won't say people are not willing to assist when you yourself have failed to play your part.
God help us.

Having travelled to almost all the states of the Federation, without being sentimental, interms of infra-structural development these are the most under developed state capitals in Nigeria, trust me these towns seriously need the government interventions
1- Damaturu

2- Lafia

3- Abakaliki

4- Dutse

5- Yenagoa

6- Jalingo

7- Ado-Ekiti

8- Gusua

9- Lokoja

10- Birnin-Kebbi

If you have travel to all these towns I'm sure you will all agree with me. Nairalanders over to you.

[quote author=Ubiero post=45829294]IMHO, his mum was right. You found out you got pregnant after a 1 night stand. And instead of going with your family to see his parents, you take your story to bloggers.

All I can see is propaganda. We hear you loud and clear, he was threatening you.
Did his father threaten you?
His mother nko?

It's burna boy's mother dt fits the girl. Maybe she thought they would all be scurrying around because of that.

Nowadays, people don't even get married to their baby mamas. They simply take responsibility for the baby's upkeep.

The girl assumed she was smart, burna boy's mother was smarter.

Don't get me wrong. I am certainly not in support of promiscuous behaviour.
The most sensible comment so far.

This Photoshop now, nice try tho

Elchappo:
Sure, but show me any where they said he is indebted to Etisalat.

If u did basics of law, can etisalat lay claim to the fund

The IBB niece is indebted to etisalat while TJ is indebted to IBB's niece.
Therefore, it's a fair share from the IBB's..

Nairaland Dullard Spotted

kiyosaki1:
Go back to the main message and read it slowly then you will understand the information the writer intend passing to readers,it said the money was giving to him to help organised show on behalf of etisalat

pls tell him... Some Nigerians are just plain dullards

Kogi west, the far most educated senatorial district in northern Nigeria voting this silly and inane wife beater is just absurd. Dinosauer

Eyaah... Some people will still believe this crap, Zombies will hail PMB's "Integrity" so sad. Indeed there was a country

It was exactly like that during my NYSC year in Kebbi state in 2001

They will attend school enough to eat free food and by 12 noon, the school would be empty

I didn't know the trend remains the same

Chai....North is in deep mess...

you're on point, I also served in kebbi state 2013. The trend still remains the same and I don't think It will stop anytime soon as the staff are not helping the situation

APC and VP Osinbajo confirmed they'll pay 5k to "vulnerable" Nigerians, PMB said he never made the promise, that he'd rather create jobs than pay 5k, Chris Ngige said Nigerians will have to work in farms to earn the 5k, Lai Moh'd said they never promised to pay anyone 5k directly. Now 5k for 25 million "vulnerable" Nigerians just appeared in our budget.
Can anyone please tell me how the same controversial 5k got into our budget and why?
Cos walai, this 5k matter don dey confuse me troway.

comodo:
Its that yeye coach Bora Multivitamin that caused all the problems. After Baruwas goof in a friendly with Ike shorunmus injury he chose to resurrect Rufai that was resting instead of sticking with Willy de cat Okpara. Rather saying that Willy who was then a CAF champion league winner and the best in PSL for Orlando Pirates to be a short GK. Notwithstanding that Peter was having sight problems already.

lolz bro you've got zero chills, bora 'multivitamin' is dat a football supplement or wat? Funi. It's actually 'Bora Milutinovic'

NobleAngell is right, guys check that picture very well, you can't call that a kiss..I think deep down , Lara is embarrassed being seen with oshiomole not to talk of kissing.. That was just a facade put up to ease baba osho's tension and the media attention

embarrassed? Why. Do nigerian youth keep showing how stupid and local they are on a public forum? What's so special about dis Iara girl for God sake. Inferiority complex and blackrace, smh

[quote author=NobleAngell post=43435821]Then you are yet to know the limits of money. Ever heard of trophy wife? U marry her for her beauty even though you know what she's after. She'll give you terms and u must comply.[/quote
You stil don't get his illustrations by the way, you sound lyka fish brainer

#1=$1 isn't realistic, payment of 5k to unemployed youth Is not feasible, feeding of school children is inconsequential, only a fool will defend pmb's ineptitude. This is the change this gworo chewing osunbade west germany bokoharam miyetti-allah paedophile has brought upon the zombies, enjoy it!

Ben Bruce is just an attention seeker. why was he not tweeting about the bad state of our economy when he was not a senator?

And this one will say he's using a smartphone, so he's better off criticizing the govt when he's not in the system to you? Bros y swimming against the tides? how pathetic! Werey leleyi fa this like the worst opinion I've ever seen on a public forum. Someone in the govt is criticizing it which is unlike an average naija politcians and u're here spewing menses from ur gutter. u're a genius and your brain is divided into two, the right and the left. in the left nothing is RIGHT and in the right nothing is LEFT
