@Poster,
What do you mean by accredited school in US?
Is it a University or College or something else?

For your information,
What is ur speciality, GSM or CDMA or both?

How come you want to return back to Nigeria to secure a job in the Telecom industry?

I am a GBSS Enginner working with one of the telecom vendors in Naija and I tell you the truth, foreign jobs is the koko.

Telecom pays well here in Nigeria when compared to other sectors aside from banks and oil and gas.

But i will die for any foreign job now,

except you are not telling us the entire story,

@ seum -- I graduated from Illinois Institute of Technology ( Chicago). Just want to come back home. Since my experience is in the telecoms field, i will like to continue in what am currently doing. My speciality is in GSM.

guys am also in need of telecom job for my wifey.if there is any advert do let me know about it.

@seun you don forget say them dey sack anyhow for jand now abi

@ Duro & all

Jobs is in Nigeria is not that easy to get with or without Oversea experience at this present moment.

I have 8 years UK experience consulting for different blue chip Telcos ie BT,Orange mobile, Cable and wireless etc

Vendors as well ie Alcatel-Lucent .I also spent 3 consulting in Amsterdam working for Versatel ( ISP in Netherlands) .

I possess professional certification in Cisco and have worked on technologies like MPLS , VPN ,BGP etc .

I ve gotten so many wonderful compliments about my CV but still no job interview talk less of job offer.

Personally i ve come to the conclusion that the global meltdown is affecting Nigerian co as well.

I ve sent my CV's everywhere you can imagine starcomms,Glo,MTN ,etisalat ,banks etc.( Same story ! )

Am not out to discourage you but just keep an open mind and PRAY FOR FAVOUR!

After been on this job searching for 3 months ,i ve now decided to start doing something else by the side so that i can feed my self .

But Fingers are not equal ,i just thought share my experience with you and others .Hopefully you will find some thing soon.

Durojim,
Getting a telecoms job in naija is not quite easy, but trust that connection is one factor that happens also in the telecom industry. But God can over-rule that with his help. I too just finished a Telecoms course in Network Engineering at Abuja. Still hoping for a Job.

well I work for one of the Telco companies in naija. when i enter then I neva knew any1. I just submitted my CV online. for me there are jobs in the Telecomms companies in naija but u need a fair number of years of experience to be well paid. my company is recruiting expatriates and locals in large quantity

My advice for you is to work 4 2 more yrs, so that u can gather enough experience. most especially in new technology that are not yet obtainable in naija. with four years of experience i think you should get a very nice job with vvvvv very 9ice pay with any Telco.

nothing is automatic, even with ur experience. but if u are eager to relocate to naija u can send ur cv to the naija companies with ur friend/sis/brother' naija fone number and address. then as soon as they get any info from any telecoms company d person would contact u. u can then contact the company for a reschedule. In this way u wont be ideal at any point in time.

I would strongly advise you to gather a enough experience, because for recruiters 2 yrs experience in a field is still more like a beginner- because at dat stage u know the jargons and basic of the field but u are not yet strong at it. except for very few employee.

gudluck!!!!!!!!

@ folarin wat area of telecoms are u into, because with ur 8yrs experience u should get sometin, mayb the pay is the matter.

@Candlux

Thanks for your intrest ,

My Core experience is in Network Monitoring ,Management,Deployment and support.

My areas of Telecoms is ISP,Data Center, NOC & NMC environment (IP ,MPLS network)

I ve worked on different vendor routers & switches ie cisco,alcatel-lucent,redback,Nortel etc.

I have worked in BT,Orange Broadband,Alcatel-lucent UK etc . I am not bragging i have checkable ref.

I wish the pay was the problem , i ve not even had the chance to attend any interview in the first place.

I can mail you a copy of my CV ,pls let me have your email address.

send the CV to candlux@yahoo.com with a passport photograph. i dont mean u would be taken automatically, but i would submit & I feel u stand a chance of being called for interview.

Best of luck!

@ Thanks ,Bisijohn

Am doing that right now !

@
candlux ,Much appreciated!

I know what will be , will be .

Tough times dont last but tough people do , !
