don't even try to swim against the tide. those equations make perfect sense. the engineering students are studying math & physics. the medical students have only physics to contend with and it's mostly in their first year(A'level physics). what does the average doctor know about kirchoff's law?

abeg, comot for road.....



this is bullshyte!
what sort of math are we talking about? the math of cramming formulas & inputing? that is what you want to compare to jacobi method, gauss siedel, advanced laplace transforms and spine-shattering calculus?



biology, by an astronomical mile, is the easiest science subject cos all the students don't consider it an abstract subject. even a kid of 5 can relate with the topics cos you see those things day to day.

you cannot compare it to math. how difficult are the math subjects that medical students take? they do the fake math courses in uni. engineering students do MTH 101, medical students do MTH 105 & its variants.

their physics is also different from the ones engineering students do in the first year. there's a reason you would find more females in medicine than engineering, it's because most females cannot cope with the rigours attached to math!

You nailed it

coogar:
so you are saying to study physics, you would do much more math than if you study math itself? christ - can you hear yourself?



i am sorry to say you are not an intelligent human being!

Bros, at a level in Physics, you wouldn't actually know the difference between Physics and Maths. I know cos I studied Physics

Behavioural tests don't have yes or no answers. so if you think there's one expo, na lie. however if it's anything like the Standard Chartered test I did some months ago, you'll be tested on the following

1. How well you work in a team

2. Your loyalty to your line manager.

3. Your attitude to new assignments with respect to your organisational duties.

4. Your view on work-life balance

etc

Generally, they'll test for behavioural competencies that an applicant needs to thrive in a consulting environment.

Hope I've helped

What of those who have already published? How do I incorporate it into my CV? Link to the paper is

jeebz:
Congratulations on your POP. You can PM me.

Done

jeebz:
Just wanted to know if you intend to pursue postgraduate studies in physics.

I am o. you got any options for me. link me up bro. thanks

jeebz:
Bro, the journal has already been published. Similar got second author. The link is in one of the posts above.
@Simi, are u done with NYSC?

I'll be done next week by God's grace. October 15. Batch C 14 is good to do. why do you ask please

petengine:
thanks bro. pls if am sending a cover letter through email, is it ok to just write it in the email or attach to the email as Doc file?
once again, thanks so much

If the application asks for a CV best you send it as a separate file and copy the contents into the body of the e-mail.

if the application does not ask for a cover letter, still type it, and copy its contents in the body of the e-mail.

whatever you do, do not send an empty e-mail.

petengine:
@ x-fire
pls what is the best format (doc or pdf) to submit a CV online either through an email or company portal for job application?
others are free to respond as well. God bless!

Docx format is the best (latest file type of MS Word)

But some websites like etisalat portal would ask for other formats like doc (MS Word 2003) file type or even pdf (MainOne asked for pdf file)

So what I do is have pdf and docx CV types whenever I want to process applications

Compared to Mainframe popularly called Uncle TUNdE Kelani, he is still a boy. He's good no doubt but Uncle Tunde is better

guchii:
Please, lets focus on solutions than on the problems. Can anyone suggest solutions to each of the point listed by "op". Am more concerned about the issue of attaching CV to a mail. What is the best approach to sending CV and cover letter

From what I've read the best thing is using the Cover letter as the body of the e-mail if you're asked to send only CV.

If you're to send both attach both and still type something in the body if the e-mail. Whatever happens do not send a blank email

tobe4real:
this is just an excuse and its futile, if at all graduates do what you claim it will be the minority or about 6percent of those who apply don't make it look like its the majority.and make Nigerian graduates look like nonentities..

I'm a serving Corps member in Imo state and it was during this service year that I realised many Nigerian graduates are unemployable.

To most who belong to that category, going to school was just about getting the certificate. Or how do you explain a First Degree holder who doesn't know the difference between BSc and MSc saying that the school he graduated from awards MSc to fresh graduates .

Or how do you explain that a graduate does not know what is meant by "Discipline" as regards what a person studied in school?

To others who belong to that category, lack of information played a major role. Or how do you explain a first class graduate who forgets to put the class of degree he has on his CV?

The good thing about ask these basic skills is that no one brought it from Heaven. It was all learnt here on Earth. Meaning that if you devote your time to it, you can learn them.

Also, many recruitment consultants keep saying the same thing. If there is no iota of truth in it, would they say it? You can Google Detoun Ogwo and check some of her Facebook status of recent. You'll be shocked about her experiences

For people who are excited about unleashing the best mode their phones have to offer, android rules. I mean, if you really know your game you'll perform wonders with the OS.I once toured with dual booting my phone with Mozilla OS out Linux.

But if you're all about the sleekness of your device and how smooth it operates. You don't want to bother your head with task managers and other geeky stuff, then iOD is for you.

We shouldn't try to impose our tastes on others. Everyone had a right to freedom of choice for the ecosystem they wanna belong to

Guys on here, kudos to you for the comments. I read each one up till this point. These will be my submissions

1. The reason why apple succeeded in changing the mobile device market was that they realised that software was the ish. Hardware to apple is secondary. During an event Steve Jones once said that the IPod is essentially a software and that's why it's different from other mp3 players.

2. Steve was crazy about designs. He was a design major and knew the importance of Good design to successful products.

3. The user experience of every Apple device is premium. No doubt.

However, competitors would not fold their arms and watch you take over the market. If that happens, the monopoly isn't good for the consumer. So Google, Microsoft and Samsung are there to make sure Apple doesn't loose sight that in the market, the consumer is king.

Innovation is broad. It ranges from design to hardware and even software. Everyone innovates. And that's why innovation is different from invention. Sadly only few companies invent new stuff these days.

Also note that innovation is taking an existing product, good or service and improve on it while invention is creating a new product, good or service which is there first of its kind.

In this parlance, everyone is allowed to copy someone.. Just that you must be smart about it.

In the android world, hardware is king but in Apple world, software rules. To each his own.

If only there was a way to port iOS to my S4.

dondiggy:
Congrats bro

Thanks really appreciate

Adeonolus:
Tanks, which physics text book can u pls recommend for me coz I ve only nelkon & palker ' Advanced Physics'

If your curriculum is mathematics intensive, then Schaum series would be a good buy. Because Physics is quite wide it's rare to see a textbook that covers everything.

In the end, always endeavour to ask the textbook a lecturer is using as his main reference point for the course he is taking you.


In Electronics, electrical Bible is the king. I've forgotten the name of the author. Mechanics, quantum physics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and other fields in physics also have their textbooks.

jeebz:
I have read the paper and I'm impressed. Your supervisor did a great job. Also, you got second author which is very good. Now, you can decide your fate, no postgraduate school would turn down an application with a strong research portfolio.

Yay! *dancing shakiti* I noticed that I got second author but didn't know the implications. Also when I glanced through the paper I noticed it had been beefed up. But I still retain credit for typing the original manuscript. Doing the foundation research and even reading as much as 40 papers before I finished writing the project.

Make una wish me happy birthday o

Teempakguy:
oh well.


Simiolu1

Congratulations.
I'm really elated by this news. I wish I'd seen this earlier.

Anyway, I'm about to read the paper.

Wish me luck.

Thanks. Please give a honest opinion of it after reading.

Jeebz, you get mouth

Jeebz, stingy, msnas, xfire, teempakguy, robinhez etc make una come o. Paper has finally been published! I'm so happy, joyful and emotional. All the hard work has finally paid off. I couldn't believe the quality of the material when I read it. Obviously, my supervisor did a wonderful job editing, reviewing and carrying out further tests on the samples. See attached pix below

So finally guys my FYP has been published by IJSER August 2015 edition. So happy and elated because the news came a day before my birthday... What a wonderful birthday gift. Finally, all the hard work I did writing that project has paid off

xfire:
You are right. I have been very engaged lately. I will try and put some effort into writing some stuffs this weekend.

My Oga at the top, I sent my CV for a review some time ago but I haven't gotten a reply. I know you are quite busy but would you please acknowledge receipt of the Cv. Also, I'll be glad if you do the review very soon. Thanks

Alexander001:
The course is electronics and computer technology under physics department. it's under physics department because we don't have engineering department.

I'd suggest you graduate with a good grader first. It's better and easier to get things done with a good grade. Next is to develop your self while at school. Improve your communication skills, computer skills and if possible go for some certifications. If you have time learn Electronics and Computer repairs from those "road side" technicians so that by the time you're graduating, school has passed through you and not the other way round. Then finally, do a thorough research about industries you'll like to work and go for it! And of its Masters, go for it too. Don't hesitate to pressure your dreams. Barak

Alexander001:
I study electronics and computer technology under physics...what are the chances of enjoying same privilege with pure physics graduates?

I don't understand what you wrote up there. Did you major in Electronics and Computer Tech while studying Physics in school?

I ask because I've not heard of such major before.
Or the name of your course is Electronics and Computer Tech?

Please answer. Thanks

MsNas:
Lol. How did you know I attended Lautech?
And two, I didn't know there was a Physics graduate thread on here. Can you point me in its direction?

Kindly go to the career section and see. We once talked on a thread before the Tsunami that swept through NL. You and Adedokun were classmates! *tongue out* Please help me with your e-mail address... Want to discuss somethings

swaggprofessor:
My brother b4 giving advise u should first of all state if u r a nigerian n then if u r actually living in nigeria. 1. there is no established physics lab in the country.2. the only job u can get as a graduate of physics is to teach secondary schools cos all the universities are only recruiting msc holders.3. in nigeria it is paramount for all graduate of physics to hv atleast an m.sc b4 thinking of a mouth watering job except he or shegets a banking job or is able to secure graduate trainee program in an oil firm. I am speaking out of experience cos I am a graduate of physics with a very good grade I hv surfed the Internet well enough to know that this guy am quoting isn't living in nigeria

Bro, don't say what you don't know. I've seen Physics graduates in Nigeria doing well without MSc certificates. Don't make assumptions about all Physics graduates just because of your condition. My IT supervisor in Huawei graduated from Unilag with a Physics/Electronics degree and has over 6years experience in the Telco sector without an MSc degree. In fact, many Microwave engineers I know, have Physics background.
Also in Nigeria, there are lots of Physics graduates in the O&G, IT and financial services sector.
With Physics, the sky is the starting point!
And who told you there are no research labs in Nigeria that employs Physics graduates?
While doing my FYP project, I had problems analysing my ZnO thin films because Research labs were on strike. Almost went as far as Abj for XRD analysis.
Don't say what you don't know!

MsNas:
Plentiful. My undergraduate major is Pure and Applied Physics. And I had no trouble getting a job in the Oil and Gas industry in Nigeria before I decided to leave and get a graduate degree in IT. I had no problem getting into graduate schools with my degree as well as I had plenty of the prerequisite plus the fact that Physics is considered the foundation of many physical sciences and engineering

My advise to you is not to limit yourself and feel free to diversify. Looking at my former classmates' LinkedIn, I found out that most of them have no problems fitting into the Communications, IT, Energy, Engineering or even Medical fields. Heck, one of them just got a masters in Petroleum Engineering. The opportunity to spread and adapt is limitless. As I said, don't limit yourself. A physics degree opens you to a whole new world.

You might even decide to get a PhD straight.... If you're intent on becoming a college professor. Plenty of schools here will accept you for a combined Masters/PhD programme in Physics. I know cos I have at least two friends who are doing that.

The key is to research, research and research. Find the right fit and the right career path for yourself and the gates of succes has just been flung open. All the best.

Long time! Greatest Ladokite, you just forget ur people for Physics graduate thread for Nairaland. No be so o...

xfire:
Sorry...I have been a little bit engaged. I have a look at it this week unfailingly, possibly tomorrow.

Oga xfire you've not replied my mail o. Sent my CV a while back. Thanks in advance for the review
