I Have Never Believed In Going Around And Applying For Jobs by Oduok(m): 10:55pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
Though I would never have rejected a well paid job. But when it was not forth coming I had to make use of every opportunity available for me. I finished my National Diploma in 2007 at Petroleum Training Institute (Industrial Safety and Environmental Engineering Technology), Effurun (Best Student of my class). I was not so determined at applying for jobs and I never did. Rather I applied for Industrial experience which was easier to get than employment. I started with Environmental Health Office in 2007. After one year I moved to Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) -still industrial experience. When I completed my experience I stayed back as a casual staff where I was preparing to get admission back to school for my Bachelor's degree. I had admission in 2010 to study Chemical Engineering in UNIUYO, through UME - not even direct entry. I hussled, did weekend home lesson, registered a consulting business and did minor consulting services in downstream Petroleum Sector. In my sophomore year I won the PTDF scholarship for my programme. Within the five years, I went back to DPR for more six months industrial experience and Exxonmobil for another six months experience. Now I am a graduate with experience (graduated best in my class with 4.40 CGPA). Looking ahead. I'm not so much moved with applying for jobs - though would not hessitate to get a good offer that would come on merit. I'm planning to make the consulting business I registered more organised with full incorporation. I picked interest in Organic oils, Soap, and Detergent in my undergraduate - had done a project on that. I'm now working on raising money to setup a plant for production of these products. Presently i'm partnering with a collegue and we are running an evening school. I have always approached life with a positive mindset. Though not too rich (financially) right now but i'm not begging. Sponsored myself successfully through out my degree. Built a mini flat in my father's compound and have a great wealth of experience in life and career. I believe my story can be of encouragement to someone. 226 Likes 13 Shares |

Though not discouraging you, but the truth is that not everybody is destined to be an entrepreneur: if everybody is a teacher, who will be the student? If everybody is a Lawyer, who will be the client? If everybody is a producer, who will be the consumer? If everybody is an entrepreneur, who will be your Before being posted to North under Boko Haram territory, I worked and toiled diligently before graduation: I jumped into professional programme, which consumed the largest percentage of my salary immediately I got my first job. throughout this period, socialization perishes: religious activities were reduced to barest minimum: I closed eyes before giving: no gyration. In fact, the only thing I manage to do without then is watching two 'team' - Barcelona and Lionel Merciless Mercy: may God bless me for being among the generation who live to witness that 'god of soccer'. I can't just continue with such struggling at least for some foreseeable future now. According to the Bible, 'for everything under the heaven, there is time'. Therefore, it is time to reap and step up my connectivity before putting on the thinking cap of entrepreneur. Lord I thank you for employment opportunities that always come my way in the face of rampant unemployment: glory be unto your holy name. Op! This might be your own appropriate time to venture into entrepreneurship: I wish you good luck under Buhari's administration. Front Page thing Dedicated this to my mummy who passed away while I was in Primary school: It clocks 24years in this month of June when you left your one and only begotten son behind. To me - "You are costlier than gold Precious than silver Beautiful than diamond" I love you mum......................... 119 Likes 5 Shares |

stereo:wow! See offer. I need a job at the moment. There is a lot that needs to be fixed - marriage etc. The consulting business, owning of plants is mutually exclusive. I can always do them anytime, or at leisure. Job first to boost the fund required. 3 Likes |

lol. you have a very good CGPA of 4.40 in an engineering course and you would rather not go around applying for jobs. issokay if only you know what your mates (and maybe juniors) with poor CGPAs are earning in oil companies, you will change your mindset ASAP 12 Likes |
