Why will any organization employ anyone who’s shot of any of these skills in the first place. Apart frm Man Management which I feel that you can learn on the job, I expect anyone who’s looking for job or placement to have these set of skills. I remember when I first thought that I was good in excel, Chai until I saw a senior colleague use excel to manage billions of financial estimates where every figure was linked to a formula. Still wish I was that good. 6 Likes |

True but it also depends on your area of discipline. For me right now I need french skills so if you know any year 3 or year 4 student who can teach me French in Ikoyi and make some cash for himself in his spare time. Please link me up with him. French coaches/teachers are too expensive. Whatsapp 2348130708472 2 Likes |
