Graduated from one of our ivy league unis in Naija wit a CGPA of 4.17 out of 5 in Microbiology but d prospects of securing a Job looks bleak, even most multinationals don't include microbiology among their intakes. Any help pls, cuz man pikin don dey frustrated o.

To have graduated with good grades shows a lot of hard work at UNI. But having good grades is only the beginning. You must be sure you know who you are and what you want. This is the part, I'm afraid, many people come to fail. Here's a classic question for you:

Suppose you have a carte blanche to work at any company you want. Can you name at least 2 companies you would want to work for, what role you will want to work at and what skills you have that will make you add immediate value to the company?

Sorry if this isn't what you are hoping to get, but it helps to know what your personal objectives are. I have seen too many people on here who just want to "graduate with a 2:1" and "work for a company"

I suggest you visit this website to get all the information you need http://careers.stateuniversity.com/pages/409/Micr… I believe you'll find it very useful.

nice link but i wonder if it's really useful for a nigerian graduate

Try Mecure Laboratories @ Oshodi in Lagos.

The link I posted is very useful for a micrbiology graduate anywhere in the world

Food and beverages company is a better place for you to work. Though NB Plc and do employ as a graduate trainee

own a medical lab.? I seriously doubt that, except you would plan operating with a med.lab scientists license...am a microbiologist too, but am considering switching fields to accounting most likely(knw u might call that lack of focus, but am still reali young and am brutally honest with meself, there are few lucrative jobs 4 us mcbists).

Hmm.. *Ivy league* 4 dis naija..hahahah
well, if u dont want to work as a medical/sales rep in pharma co., or grad t in banks n oda unrelated institution.. U ad beta enrol for msc in mcb, dey u av upper hand in being employed in research institutes and oda core bioscience based firms.

Not true and not possible only way to get that licence is through a BMLS not even with Msc and PhD
