at last na Huawei go suffer last last. all this dey are doing are just initial gra gra, just giv dem few months by time dey release another fone series and nobody look their market, what happen to Zte will surely happen to dem... well let dem struggle first. as for me I will rather let's American Goggle or android have my privacy than a communist country like China....

That makes america saint right? Invading and sanctioning other countries all the name of national security.

Kagame has spoken well. He is the real champion of anti corruption.

Not to forget, if half of treatment and policy in Rwanda orchestrated by kagame is copy and implemented in nigeria, most nigerians not only the politicians will relocate to Togo.
Nigerians will clamour for good governance and compare with the US and China, but when capital penalty involve their tribemen, they would start playing politics of ethnicity and sentimental persecution.

This might sound too late for the guys passing out of NYSC, but very useful to those who have few months or more to their POP.

It is no news that the labour market is highly congested due to high unemployment in the country. The recent custom and NNPC recruitment applications can attest to that. With over 500, 000 graduates applying for just 3200 openings in custom. God knows how many applied for NNPC. Who no wan chop oil money?
But as a young graduate still in service year, here are the few tips that can prepare you for a reality after that 19800 or is it 30k now stopped. Forget about that promise your uncle, aunty, pastor etc made to you to bring your CV and all that.

1. Start applying for job while you are still in service.

I wish I had known this while I was wasting away under that tree inside that school premises wasting away on social media and watching football highlights and comedy skits with heavy sunfly piercing off my skin in that Edor school compound. Bulks of those data could have been used to apply for so many online openings especially the international coys who carry out assessment online.
My first interview came from online application. that was close to 2months after NYSC.
I met a guy on nairaland who applied as graduate trainee as corp member awaiting POP who got a job at PWC. you can google the company. It is a big auditing firm who source for young graduate especially those who are still serving or those who are about to pass out.


2. Learn how to write CV and cover letter on your own.

As simple as this may sound, some people cannot write these documents on their own.
A CV is your point of contact to a recruiter. The content and job description on it will get you an interview invite. Not here to lecture on CV Write up or review. But trust me, you will surely need a good one to get you job invite. And note: a CV is not one in all documents for all applications. CV are tailored to a particular application. You can do more research on that.

As per cover letter, it is an extension of what you have on your CV that help to sell your skills and enthusiasm of the job to your prospective recruiter. Pls learn how to write one before your POP.


3 ASSESSMENT TEST AND EXAM.

Have you heard of GMAT, DRAGNET, GET QUALITY TEST, SHL TEST, PERSONALITY TEST? Did I hear no! Common! These are some of the test you write to get past the preliminary of most reputable organizations screening of candidates. From banks to oil and gas, telecom to FMCG Like P & G, they find these tests useful in screening applicants for their opening. Banks like GT, FIRST BANK, UBA, etc use them for screening of their candidates often. The first time i came across the GMAT past question materials was when Ogechukwu brought it to our lodge. I must confess, the tests are quite difficult but with practice of their past questions and answers, you can scale through them.
Get yourself some of their past questions. They are available online and start practicing before your POP cus trust me, time no dey to check time after POP.

4. COMPUTER SKILL.
Pls get a basic computer skill before you pass out. I am not saying you should become a programmer or some graphic designer. But at least, get a basic knowledge of window environments and Microsoft office suit. Microsoft Excel is a most pls. Go and learn it whether from someone or online like I did. You can download these package on your phone on playstore if you don't have system for practice. You can't survive in the corporate world without it. While at the lodge , I know 3 guys who can't even open a folder on a system.(wont mention names). Nobody will tell you this after your POP. they believe as a graduate, you ought to know all these.

Lastly guys, the competition out there is very high, how to beat it is to be proactive. Like i said earlier, I wish I knew what I know now. Would have saved me time and stress in landing a decent job.

Start early so you can finish strong.
See you at the top


Thank you!

Please leave immediately if don’t have immediate financial issues
Your beginning was exactly like mine almost 12 years ago. I studied engineering too and got a job almost immediately after NYSC for 25k a month.
I resumed and was basically been used as a factory worker, I left just after two weeks!
Almost a month later, I was successful in an interview process with a telecoms servicing firm, 6 months into that role , I joined one of the main guys earning more than 250k a month.

See the big difference knowing your worth can make. The guys I left behind did not acquire any specific skills and spent almost 7 years without anything to show.

Know your worth but you must also be ready to defend the wages you ask for in terms of service

Thanks. Like I said, I am leaving next month. Yours was even fast. Just 2 weeks before you left.

Delivar:
Good contribution. In most cases like that it's either you resign and look for something better or you remain there and keep receiving 30k for life. You have to choose one.

Exactly my point earlier. It is either you settle for the crap or you aim higher and update yourself.

foolbuster:
This type of reasoning is part of the problem of this country. I honestly dont blame you thou. Because hunger can reset somebody's comon sense and more than have the capacity to make you surrender your dignity.

Its ridiculous to even think the way that dude reason.

Tell you a story about our crazy nigerian people in the working environment.

i got a job as machine operator in one of those FMCG less than 2 months after NYSC and the job role specify I will operate and carry out maintenance on machine. I Did and passed the interview with the admin and I negotiated between 75-100k with the admin.

When I got to the head of the department I am assigned to, the proud and heartless HOD citing my CV and realised I dont really have the experience in the plant, cut that salary to 40k. I pleaded and bargain with him, told him I was negotiating between 75 and 100k with the admin. He refuted and clearly stated he can approve nothing more than 40k. To add 10k hard this man as if he is the one paying the salary.

All in the name of little beginning like that guy said, I took the meagre salary and started working.
Guess what, I was being used more or less as a factory worker. Nothing to add to my experience. I regret taking the job.

We should be mindful of what we want for ourselves. Years of little beginning would have made sense if you are getting experience and not just working for some peanut.

By the way, I am leaving the job next month.
I didn't spend close to 7 years studying engineering in this crazy country plus NYSC to be used as factory worker.

Jmk9292:
5 years experience from mother's womb right? Cant u recruit, train and integrate..... There was a country!

Nobody is ready to train us my brother and the school is not helping issue as the throw out graduate without substance every year. Even common internship, you cannot get. Freelance is like a full time job, hard to see.
Volunteering will come at your own risk.

Tired of the country already

Got a regret mail too. After all I studied for the test and now this. God knows the best.

We march on.

Enireqx20:
The recruitment process for GTap slightly differs from that of GT. The difference is the verification test, where u write an ability test ( numerical and verbal reasoning) in the comfort of your home and after getting a success mail from them, you repeat that test at their office. Gtap recruitment process just has a technical test after ability test and when you scale through, then you reach the assessment centre level.
Personality test - Ability test - Technical test - Assessment centre. But I pray the process would be shorter this year.
The salary for GT and GTap is the same, the only difference is that GT gets confirmed after six months while GTap gets confirmation after one year. The latter is a temporal role, while the former is permanent

Thanks for the elaboration.

Britain was Britain when they were still an empire. That was when they got all their wealth and treasure. That explains why they have been struggling after the collapse of the empire starting with India independence from them.

And they are trying to shoot themselves in the leg with their brexit deal. A deal which two of their former PM has always been against and frustrated theresa may resignation...

I cant even upload ordinary passport.
Pls who has done this should pls help

I got an incorrect email reply when i applied. Who has the correct email for application

haywai53:
I guess one should not get bored with a routine task. As almost all jobs you get are routinely in nature. Most especially accounting jobs related. Tax comes top when it comes to routine.

My 2 kobo though.

Then what happened to "reimagine solution" in their core value when all you do is routine task. Where is that inventiveness in you?

My two cents too.

Lagos is a glorified slum....

Have you been to the highland ? A stroll in lekki or VI,
VGC, festac town, IKOYI will make you think you are outside nigeria.

Forget what you see on mainland, every country have their less develops area.

I am not here to scare anyone but the pwc recruitment process is a very rigorous one. The personality test is just a tip of the iceberg. I Did some research on their technical test and i must confess, you have to be up an running to scale through.
And to those running from numerical reasoning, I am afraid it will also come with their verbal and logical reasoning tests.

After all that, there is also assessment centre where some of the online test will be repeated.

Like i said, its a long walk to get it. But once the process begins, you get caught up in it.

Here is the link to get hold of what I am saying.

Best of luck to all of us. Certainly we are all gonna need it.

The same stupid US accusing china of spying on them.
Having access to people social media accounts is invasion of their privacy and no one, not even the US has any right to forcefully demand that from anybody.
But what do I know, the bully country control the world.

And God will punish anyone that calls this people free nation. That was how they bullied and landgrabbed the oil rich texas from mexico.

Did it too. consistency is the key here. And you cant even go back to what you chose. That thing is tricky.

Like someone said, we are all in God's hand.

The humiliation a mad man would suffer will not allow him die while he was young.

A child that would die a good death, it will be from his own perpetration.

opemipoy65:
Anyone else that have done the test....Pls how was it ,no numerical right

The fear of numerical test is the beginning of wisdom

Is there a chance this test can be done with phone?

Has anyone gotten any update on the said personality test for the tax apprentice opening? 31st is fast approaching.

I got a mail today. From the mail, they will be an online assessment using SHL which must be completed by 30th of this month. The date of the online assessment would be sent later.
Any one with SHL past question can please send it to everyone here.

Thanks

One thing you dont know is western and middle east countries are now in possession of the same nuclear arsenal the US had then so does iran.

Why do you think the US are scared of north korea?

No country has a monopoly of violence.
