@ApostleEbuka
A signed reccomendation is a recommendation letter duly signed and stamped.
It should state your responsibilities, your achievement and competencies. It should sound convincing.
It doesnt have to be a paid job or volunteering service. AU would want to see a selfless person who has contributed one thing or the other in the community or organization

I would suggest you upload all your document in pdf format...its shows professionalism and not editable as other format could distort the configuration of your document

Can NYSC discharge certificate be used as recommendation letter?

ApostleEbuka:


Wow thanks for the advice. Though It came late. I sent my CV via docx I hope it is not bad because I didn't see any rule stating it must be in PDF in their website. God bless you

Where did you serve? u can get a letter from where you served . NYSC cert in my opinion can not stand as a recommendation letter.

hello sir,the only volunteering I have done is for Nigerian red cross my university chapter, I don't know if I can use that, plus I don't have an international passport nor national identity card but I have a voters card, I don't know if its also acceptable

Kingzy4pep:

bolubej:

I was given a recommendation letter by my PPA before leaving (signed and stamped).
Can the NYSC itself be considered as the required 1 year volunteering experience, with this recommendation letter flying with it? I also intensely engaged in HIV/AIDS sensitisation throughout my service year. I have a 'little' letter of recognition to show for it (signed but not stamped). Will this fly? Or will service and recommendation in a religious setting suffice and be considered? Please help critique all three.

As for the 1 year professional experience, I only rounded up service 3months ago. However, will/can my past experiences as an educator be considered?

PS. I already PM'd you, twice. I patiently await your response. Thank you.

Hey bolubej! I have observed you've refused responding to my inquiries. Hope no beef - if you cant email you might as well share here. Trust me I aint gonna "clone" that motivation letter #JustAguide

bolubej:


Your experience is valid and they can fly. To start with how many recommendation letters were you asked to send? if its just one, i would suggest you state your roles and the organizations here so that oga GeneralOjukwu and I can touch light the matter and suggest what would fly the most.

e.g- ABC and co limited- Counsellor Tester

Thanks for the swift response. But I'm afraid you haven't answered my questions. The required recommendation letter is just one- that of the volunteering experience, and it's to be uploaded. From your responses to other posts, I have figured that recommendation letters from PPAs are valid. That's done. But then, you say my experience is valid, which? Professional or volunteering? My 'professional' experiences as an educator, though more than a year, were garnered during and pre-NYSC. One of the criteria says to have at least one year of professional experience. With the way that particular criterion is structured, I think we're just to mention it in the motivation essay, only the volunteering experience is to be verified (with a recommendation letter). Now, my question is if I should state my professional experience as an educator, would it be ok?

I also would like to share my motivation letter and CV with you, so as to help fine-tune them.

Let me teach you something.

When I was just starting out like you, had little experience so I had to exaggerate the little I had. The key thing is to be hyperbolic a bit and don't tell an outright lie that you can't defend.

Yes, for the WAHO application, I used my NYSC experience because I didn't have any other. I worked in a health agency so it was relevant.

I spent my NYSC breaking records on Chicken Invaders on the new desktop WHO donated to my organisation. In my application I didn't mention that. I focused more on leading and supervision of health teams

LOL @ emboldened. Thanks. But I truly was and still am an educator, it's no lie. I have my answers now, though. Thank you!
