Try and add to your CV during your NYSC. I did a professional course (Customer Relationship Management) and that's what has been enabling me to get job offers and that's where I have built my working experience over the years. I have never for once gone for any job in my field of study (Urban and Regional Planning). 4 Likes |

tarantino1: I'm not discouraging you. Abuja is nice. Laods and loads of opportunity. Chances of ending up in a corporate firm is high compared to other states. I'm currently serving here. I don't have any regret tho |

Be very CAREFUL with private schools. If possible, avoid them. |

Things they don't tell you at orientation camp (and you should probably know) 1. You're cheap labour. Yes. 2. Learn to negotiate with your PPA. If you don't like certain work conditions speak out. 3. Nigeria no longer respects corpers. Don't rely on preferential treatment for being a government child. 4. If you're lazy or love to flex, private owned PPAs are not for you. Rather go for public sector PPAs, especially ministries. 5. Not all public institutions are for lazy people though. Some like NAFDAC, Bank of Industry, FIRS etc work corpers like horses. But most ministries are good places for corpers who dont like stress. Their staffs are lazy and underpaid, if worse, owed salary. So don't expect to be paid. 6. Be very careful with private schools, in most states they're notorious for overworking corpers. Most of the private schools that hire corpers are schools that are growing or lack staff. They can give you four subjects to teach six classes. If you're faced with such, please negotiate. Majority of these tiny private schools are desperate for corpers so use it to your advantage. 7. If you don't like to teach, DON'T teach. 8. In some scenarios, the higher the pay, the harder the work. You can't be receiving 30k from your PPA and expect to be sleeping at work all day. 9. Environment matters. The environment we live in affects our psyche one way or another. If you're are a person with a big mind and high ambition, or loves tech, a rural area might not be ideal for you. 10. Don't expect to find love during NYSC. 11. Carry your head up high. Do not reduce your value or degrade yourself. Uphold yourself with dignity. You're a graduate. Act like one outside. 12. Don't sleep with the female students or local girls. E get why. 13. Attend CDS despite how boring it is. When voting a CDS president, don't select the overzealous candidate. 14. Just because your friends are ditching their PPAs and travelling up and down doesn't mean you should do the same. Everyone's grace is different 15. If possible, learn a skill, build connections, improve your knowledge. Search for opportunities if you can. And if because of the nature of your job you couldn't do all these, don't get hard on yourself. It is not easy to be a Corper. 16. Save money no matter how hard things are. Even if it is 1k from your monthly allowee, It is something. Don't live like a sultan on 33k. Be very prudent. 17. No matter how sh1tty your job might be at the end still put in some level diligence. And be respectful. 18. The best PPAs are not the ones that pay handsomely. The best PPAs are the ones that give meaning and purpose to your one year of service. Because you're still young and you have a lot to learn from this life. Get something you love to do and work on it. It would keep you sane in darkest hours. 7 Likes |

littleguy444: During my NYSC days, there were different professional courses to choose from. I decided to go for Customer Relationship Management because most companies needs professionals to interface with their customers. These courses are strictly for Corps members and it is usually subsidized. Plus you can pay in instalments. My first job by the grace of God, was in a pizza company as a Manager In Training without any experience. 1 Like |
