Billyonaire: Going to Yobe is scary, but I dont think its the President that influences NYSC posting.

i have noticed u on nairaland. your post are all skewed towards anytin gej. now i concur with el rufai abt 30 laptops in abuja (paid agent)
where in the post did Dr Isaiah blame gej that he is influencing nysc posting?

whether you are one of the 30 laptops or not doesn't concern me. the point is how can nysc post armless civilians to a state (for one year) where even the president of the country with all the military and security apparatus at his disposal cannot go for even a day?

humblebee: YOUWIN initiative is working, im not a beneficiary tho

Sori r you the person that called-in in the presidential media chat to ask abt the you win programme.

@op
Nigeria is a country of anything goes. This statement could either be positive or negative dependin on the way you look at it

as much as i don't fancy Mr president. i don't like the way he is being ridiculed by every dick and harry. the last i checked he still the c in c.

esere826: @osifo

Forgive my bias, but you're a 1st class graduate in HR. I asked u some questions, and u didnt see the reason why I was asking u those questions (hope that wasn't sacarsm cos it sounded like it). i don't know much about u, but I hope u've got some fine social skills. Well, we'll let that pass.

Apart from what I've noted above most of the answers u've given for my unorthodox question tells me that u wouldn't have any issues in landing urself a job.

But we have some k-legs. Your answer to quest (5) and (4) are at variance. It would be quite tough juggling between having ur own successful business and pursuing a career in the UN at d same time. If you want to work in UN, ur posting to the school would have been very helpful on your CV,and u probably should have done(or could do) some voluntary work in (for) a UN affiliated project.

Still on the UN bit of your ambition, why dont u further ur studies in either a masters or directly in a phd research. With ur present grades, ur 'inexperience' shouldn't count when u finally hit the job market. Just pick a top 5 foreign school. U cld go a step further by actually researching UN and its 'affiliated' universities and vice versa.

Netwwork with UN staff by attending seminars (or other related events) that are specific to them. When u get to meet theses UN folks, don;t tell immediately that ur looking for a job, just toast them into adding u to their linkedin pages (hope u see why i was asking u about ur confidence in a fun way).

Gun for the strategic UN folks, and when you've become pals with them, broach the idea of doing ur research with their organisation, while showing them ur cv(please avoid being corky here).

This shld land u a UN Job in less than 5yrs from now even while schooling.

.....and pls, i don't think u shld dissipate ur energy on too many unrelated goals. U've alreadsy got what it takes.
just patience


....best wishes

i am most grateful for your reply.
and yes, have got fine social skill.

But we have some k-legs. Your answer to quest (5) and (4) are at variance. It would be quite tough juggling between having ur own successful business and pursuing a career in the UN at d same time.

yes i agree with you on your observation of my answer to no. 4 and 5. as i would normally tell my friends as you grow up you become aware of certain realities which helps you to model your choices in life. if some one had told me that only 8 months back that i might never be a lawyer i could have argued with my life. 80% of my friends think i studied law, 100% think i could made a fine lawyer. now prevailing circumstances which are favourable is shifting my focus from law to multinational now recently to lecturing. the bolded is the reason why i cannot categories ansa your qstn 4 and 5 in clear terms.

on the voluntary work for UN affiliate as still looking for it. you know of any?

chukwuka E: I was successfully posted to cross river state.let share contact if you are posted to cross river so that we can rock together there.No.+23480347d3740/pin 2399EE25.Respect to you all [/color][color=#990000]

am already serving in CRS. add me 2779af00

first i want to appreciate everybody that have advised me thus far. i want you to know that your advise are well noted.

achmed1: In the mean time join the Charteder Institute of Personnel Management and get professionally certified in your field.

am on that.

The way you lay your bed you shall lie on it! Keep applying as you have been adviced.Go to school if you like but if you are too ashamed to put working experience of teaching in a nursery school as an experience, then do not blame me if i fail you in an interview. Reason is smply that teaching small children should show some humility in you, if done without any bais. It shows some attributes in you - ability to take challenge which do not make you comfortable and yet you succeed! Way back then, while looking for job, I also taught, trekked, begged and all sorts experiences you are going through but now, I am very comfortable, working in a foremost oil company . I am 2.1 Agricultural Engineer working as a lead in Operations in PH. All various experiences you may have all are for good. I can assure you. Your 1st class degree only shows potential it does not assure me you can deliver in a working environment so please any job that come your way, just DO IT. You will realize later that it was directed by GOD.

for you and every other person saying there is nothing wrong with teaching in a nursery and primary school i will like to you the following
1. i really don't have a problem teaching kids
2. my not teaching in a nursery school has nothing to do with humility or not. it has everything to do with let me use academic gap for lack of better word to describe the situation. i like to think that we are in different world. i can hardly relate with them (i need to speak with you in person before you can understand that is if you still don't understand)
3. from my interaction with nysc staffs i was told there are so many ways to discipline an erring corp member one of such is to post the corp member to a remote village to teach in a nursery school. that been said an employer who is aware of such practice will automatically be biased towards me on seeing that i did my ppa in a nursery and primary school when infact i was not involved in a wrong doing while in camp as i helped my platoon win prizes that are geared academically. (i wouldn't have any problem if i was posted to a secondary school atleast where i know i can be of great help to the students preparing them for jsce, ssce etc)

All work experience matter regardless of your qualification even if you are in the highly technical field.It only need a bit of tweaking here and there,you just need to make it relevant through tailoring and fitting.
Yours is even easier,H.R is all about people management isn't it? if you have been able to manage kids!! and you can prove how you brought the best out of them then working with adults should be a cake walk.
Pupils/workers resume late or absent,you find out.What's the difference? Isn't this routine H.R
You hardly see irrelevant experience if you look deeply.

all work experience matter regardless of your qualification yes i agree with you but i was told by a resource person that when preparing a CV you include only work experience relevant to the position you are applying to. maybe he is wrong



don't know why you are asking all these questions but here you go

What year did u graduate?

2011


3)

How will u rate ur look? A) very wowo, B) not very wowo

check my profile to judge for yourself. very wowo as in ugly can't not be used to describe me


4)

What kind of work do u really want?

that a tough one, cos rite now i wil be motivated to work where will pay the highest irrespective of the nature of the job. my dream job is to work with the united nations


5)

Where do u see urself in the next 5 and 10 years?

so many factors will contribute to this, in 5 to 10yrs i see myself as a business executive either in my own firm or in another firm, politics and now recently lecturing but like i said so many things will affect this

9)

How many companies av u approached?

10)

What kind of companies have they been ? A) Local coys (B) Global coys

both local and global

Human resource management is not a course that most employers would die for.

boss i don't agree with your assertion. this is a course i 'ditched' law for. true is every organization employing atleast 10 employees needs a human resource expert. the business environment is changing and trust me when i tell you this, in the administrative and management department HR expert is among the most sought after. in Nigeria about 85% of HR positions are occupied by people who didn't study HRM thus giving greater opportunity for those who studied HRM to be employed in their field.

Please wht do you mean by respect? Tell me do pple go into relationship for respect, as in ¶ want sumbody to respect me so one of the way of givin it is going into a relationship? ¶ don't understand

propofol: OBIVIOUSLY YOU DONT TRUST OR LOVE YOUR WIFE.THIS MAY BE A ONCE-IN -A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU BOTH. IF YOU LIKE MESS IT UP~~~~~~~~~~`

¶ hope you know there is a big difference between love and trust.
You can love sumbody you don't trust.


@op. Yes your wife will definitely meet men W̶̲̥̅̊hε̲̣̣̣̥я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ ever she works but this particualr 3 weeks offshore stuff is very very risky. ¶ don't think it will augur well especially if you hav children, nevertheless you can take your chance.

slimming: so 3.9 GPA is a celebration in that university? when lots of people are making 4.5+ in Nigeria without international recognition.

dude for you and the person that liked your status ignorance is bliss for both of you.

love is not enough yardstick to marry for me compatibility and comfort is. so i am going with loving the one you marry.

chicel: i was like dat years back. I came to a conclusion that u get a job only wen u are connected. I have a 2.1 mechanical engineering some 1 showed me some thing which i'm doing presently and it's paying me off very well. I presently don't need a job. i only post adverts i come across in newspapers or from clients ON Nairaland incase there are job seekers who care. What i do is purely business and i'm thankful cos wat i earn i don't think a company wud pay. My profit is greater than my effort besides i can't be sacked or need to retire in d future and seek wat to do. My pay runs to my generation. I'M my BOSS. U cud contact me and i'd give u more details in case u are interested. 08079310123.

i will give u a call soonest.

guy, d best thing 4 u is 2 go bk frm where u came frm i.e skul. Dat's where u belong. Dat 3rd class guy(e.g dangote) wit all d struggl and suffering 2 establish large business empire, is nt ready 4 a bookworm like us. Evn wen u find ur way in those companies, u wil b restricted to ideas, decisions and contributns(like a monkey in d zoo). Dey dnt like ppl who kn 2 much(I.T.K). U won't also b comfortabl dere cos one day, u wil flout ur first class ego(i sabi nature) and u wil be finally sidelined. Listen 2 dat guy wit 2.1, open ur own business or go bk and continue reading(msc), maybe get a lecturing job. Obviously, u cannot get any work nw without experience unless thru connections or trainee jobs which ar competitive and crowded wit die-hard candidates. I was once like u until i discoverd where d society placed me. It's gud 2 make good grade but nt criteria for getting (good) jobs in 9ja nw. D syst has changed. Employers often ridicule u and say we ar only seeing paper qualificatns here, u'v nt shown praticals 2 prove it. Ar u sure u didnt cheat in d university or sleep wit lecturers( reffering to girls) 2 get d grade? It's funny but evryone will survive.

yes am thinking of doing that, but i don't want to enter the university system with just a first degree. me think the pay will not be too encouraging

steph7: Linda Ikeji reported a while back that there was a cabal stealing people's valuables on Arik air, so this topic doesn't come as a surprise to me.

that word is familiar. Nigerian phenomenon

[quote author=onye_ngbu*]What has any of that got to do with you running all over nairaland misquoting the man.
Do you in anyway think you are educating anyone here?[/quote]Yes she is

My people please i need ur opinion

I am a graduate of Human Resource Management with a first class, apart from leadership experience and informal work experience (which are not directly related to my field of study) I have never had a real formal working experience.

I am aware that in today’s business world emphasize is place or should be more in work experience than paper qualification. Honestly not having a work experience is not my fault as circumstance has not presented itself for a formal work experience. Even after school I was ready to volunteer free of charge for any organization, still I didn’t get a positive feedback.

My last hope of getting a formal working experience before joining the labour market was during my National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) but your guess is as good as mine, despite my class of grade and the uniqueness of my course of study I was posted to a nursery and primary school in a remote village to teach, something I can’t comfortably add in my Curriculum Vitae as a working experience.

Knowing the importance of work experience I have decided not to proceed immediately for my masters degree after service but to get at-least 2years work experience despite the fact that I am an academic person, I love school, in-order to acquire the much needed work experience.

I am not frightened of the real work environment because I know if am placed in a job I will not have a problem adapting because I have been part of several informal projects which have being successfully executed.

Please what do you think are my chances of employment after service and people like me out there and advice me on what immediate thing I should or can do to get a formal work experience.

obakovich: The so called militants are students sent to study by the amnesty progg,last week an ex militant was macheted by a cultist. What ur witnessn is a cleansing of the school by the militants. They are going after secret cult members not ordinary students.

How do you know this. Are you their spokeperson? ¶ think you should be arrested and detained by the authorities so you can give us more information about the malitant that was injured, who led the cultist operation to the school. And if you can't provide answers to the questions you should be jailed for pendling wrong information.

@ poster were u part of dose dat wrote d bible?

¶ would want to believe this to be fictional than real.

Anyway in the will the father must have probably wrote the husband of my daughter should be the CE0 after my demise. That is to say if the man divorce her, he is no longer the husband of the daughter and cannot make any such claim so in otherwords even without the second letter the woman in question had nothing to fear about.

Am scared of this trend of criticizing every move by the government.
How can a sane person say first class doesn't mean anything to M̶̲̥̅Ƹ or that giving out 5 million not for any purpose but for advancement of educational pursuit be a waste of money.
How can developing the human resources of a state be a misplaced priority?

Let M̶̲̥̅Ƹ leave you with the words of Lukcy Dube. "You call yourself voice of the voiceless, freedom fighter, but the only time you speak you criticize the work of others. What have you done for your people?"

Names are not just identity. They are integral part in our life. If in doubt ask Jezbel in the bible whose name meant sorrow.

If your name have negative meaning my advise is that you change it

¶ don't think there is any such thing as love @ first sight. What we have is attraction @ first sight.

4good: Many of you writing against the man of God know nothing about the things of the Spirit. The girl received a holy Ghost Inspired Reaction for lieing. Can't you all see what follows.

How can you sue your own Pastor?

[b]And sense people are busy making sensible comments about issues not in the realm of senses. IF THE GIRL IS A CHURCH MEMBER IN-DEED SHE WOULD HAVE TOLD THE SON OF PERDITION (WHOSE PROFESSION WILL DEFINITELY MAKE HIM TO KNOW GOD IN THE HARD WAY), the Human right Lawyer, ( to mind his business.

It is simply a battle between the flesh and the spirit.

How I wish God will open your eyes and hearts and see spiritual things.

Greater is HE that is in US than he that is in the world. The Bishop has won the case already before the case was even brought to the court.

I know the Bishop never meant to ASSAULT that girl like many of us are emphasizing here. And his action of slapping is greatly in order. EXCEPT IF YOU CAN JUDGE GOD, THEN YOU CAN JUDGE HIS SERVANTS.

My advice to us all: Instead of snaring our destinies by our mouth comments we should watch the Living God defend Himself. I know the truth always triumph over falsehood come what may[/b]

¶ am shock beyond words...."The girl received a holy Ghost Inspired Reaction for lieing."

¶ wil pretend ¶ didn't seee that.

Hope when next a pastor shoot a member of ur family in the name of deliverance U̶̲̥̅̊ can be bold enough to say he was inspired to do so.
Just so you knw am stil in shock after reading ur post

I think it could have been better if this scheme was for corper members who are more ready to face the world than university students. Nevertheless thumbs up to Mr president. Hope this scheme will not be hijack by hoodlum and rogues as they are called.

But one problem stil remain. How do you selected the best 100 brains in Nigeria as am sure on the average a second class upper student with strong CGPA in a federal university is more academically inclined than a first class student in a priave university.

How can a not so popular person quit smoking and its on frontage? Doubt if when obama quit smoking it will be a major headline for CNN

There is something these moderators don't get. Frontage represent the best of the different categories of nairaland hence it is what is updated in the facebook and twitter accounts of the forum. This means that it is the first point of contact for people and when somebody sees an irrelevant topic on the frontage the person might just conclude without browsing through the different categories that nairaland is not a serious forum.

For those of us using phones we find it difficult navigating through the different categories hence most times we stick to frontpage articles only so we expect that the very best of the best of the different categories of the forum is brought to the front page.

One begins to wonder why the number of active users is decreading.

Formality. Another avenue to waste tax payer's money. Pls gej as usual set another committee to study the report of this committe.

Btw, wht happened to †ђξ recommendation of previous committee on reducing the cost of govt. and how much was budgetted for his committee.

We are tired of committee for this committee for that we want actiond

In the words of Bob Marley Jah bless his soul 'you can fool some people sometime but can't fool all the people all the time'.

Like somebody pointed out you can choose to be fool.

This government have device wicked strategies in increasing and decreasing price. First Gej wanted to increase fuel to from 67 to 97 naira per litre he knows if he does that people will complain he deviced †ђξ fuel subsidy saga. He increased fuel to 140 naira because he knew nigerians wil complain and want to bargain for reduction which he will eventually agree to now fuel price is 97 naira instead of 67 naira. (Mind you afterall there was an increase in fuel price)

Again he intended to budget 900million for feeding he knew nigerians would complain he raise it to close to 1billion so at the end of the day it wil be reduced to what it was meant to be. A swooping 900million for feeding.

Gej is listening indeed, how can a sane person budget close to 1billion naira for feeding?

The idea is if he wants to buy 5 exotic cars he wil write 12 so that after all said and done he will reduce it to the number it was actually intended to so that the guilible ones will think he is considerates and listens to the masses.

If indeed he listens to you as you claim, why do we stil have †ђξ nysc prog. Wen majaority of the corpers want the scheme to be scrapped, why has he not reduced the excess of house of assembly spending,why has he not made it easy for corrupt officials to be prosecuted case in point those indicted by the lawan farouk committee that he is relently to ensure justice is serve.

¶ don't like this fresh air at all.

Why will ¶ want to do such a silly thing. Fight to keep one Nigeria?

Will be glad to diagolue for the dissolution of the entity called Nigeria.
