TIPS BEFORE YOU APPLY:
1. Tailor your CV for each role. Do not send one generic CV everywhere. Highlight skills relevant to each company's industry.

2. Check if you qualify. Some are strictly for corps members (NYSC), others are open to all fresh graduates. Read the job description carefully before applying.

3. Don't sleep on the "smaller" companies. KPMG will get thousands of applications. A lesser-known firm may give you more hands-on experience and a faster path to a full-time offer.

4. Apply even if you don't tick every box. Graduate trainee programs are designed to train you. They're not looking for already-made professionals.

5. Deadlines close fast. Some of these are 2024-listed and may already be closed. Always confirm on the company's official website or the link provided.
