Saharo: wats wrong wit N30k pay fir a graduate? Since when did u being a graduate bcome a ticket to big pay package?

Yes, it isn't only REP's dat can train u,,,but wat good is it if u av a training from a non-REP and u register for the exam only to be told to bring the document proving ur training? |

og2711: yup,,,u right there Dis same "graduates" would leap at an opportunity to go abroad to take cleaning jobs of any kind (waste or janitorials) witout thinking twice;even the pple replying negatively to this thread. Na wa for us all,,,,when will we begin to change our mindset |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Graduates Against Dragnet GSE by SOJ(m): 11:57am On Sep 11, 2008 |
janami: U are a few steps from being myopic! d fact dat u av misgivens about GSE doesn't invalidate it as a great concept. Give us one reason why prospective employers shuld pay for you to be recruited in their firm.Tell me, if u WERE one, would u do that? Yes, i dint think so.Nobody is preying on so-called plight of 'jobless graduates as u claim;its a concept that is open to anyone who wants to buy into it. If u dont want the test then apply in an organisation that doesnt use the test;to my last count, there are still hundreds of companies out there who dont use GSE scores. So wat really is d basis of ur arguments? see it dis way, if u REALLY want 2 "fight for what is right" then fight againt this idea: www.shl.com PS>My lasr word is dis: go back to school to be re-trained to reason objectively and sensibly;drop ur 'immature' student militancy and grow up, |

This is strictly FYI: Just as Rare mentioned, every info u need concerning PMI, Prince2/PMP/CAPM can be gleaned online. I started my search online 4 yrs ago and now i'm a member of the PMI, a member of PMI Lagos chapter and currently studying towards a CAPM cert. All online and not thru an agent whatsoever! Do the same,I advice anyone and dont leave ur info sources in the hands of d numerous training centers in naija now. For example, if u do ur due dilligence u will discover dat there are only 3 training institutes recognized by PMI in naija. I wouldn't give u their names though;u must find dat out d way i did: www.pmi.org D way i see it,if anyone's truly interested in project management, he'll take d first step by googling it! all d best,,,, |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Please How Much Does Sahara Group Pay Their Interns/new Entry by SOJ(m): 8:34am On Sep 05, 2008 |
go4gold107: U need to understand the word 'intern': An intern or stagiaire is one who works in a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, making it similar to an apprenticeship. Interns are usually college or university students, but they can also be high school students or post graduate adults seeking skills for a new career. Student internships provide opportunities for students to gain experience in their field, determine if they have an interest in a particular career, create a network of contacts, or gain school credit. Internships provide the employers with cheap or free labor for (typically) low-level tasks (stereotypically including fetching coffee for the office), and also the prospect of interns returning to the company after completing their education and requiring little or no training. An internship may be either paid, unpaid or partially paid (in the form of a stipend). Paid internships are most common in the medical, science, engineering, law, business (especially accounting and finance), technology and advertising fields. Internships in non-profit organization such as charities and think tanks are often unpaid, volunteer positions. Internships may be part-time or full-time; typically they are part-time during the university year and full-time in the summer, and they typically last 6-12 weeks, but can be shorter or longer. The act of job shadowing may also constitute as interning. - Courtesy Wikipeadia Alternatively, Sahara might be using the word to loosely imply an apprenticeship that may lead to a permanent position. U know dis naija compy and their misuse of oyinbo. On the other hand, the poster might have applied for a position dat was meant for interns/apprentices so hence the job offer,,, |

Seun: I find myself agreeing with u here; if wat these graduates can settle for is a janitorial job,then they probably shuld have it. |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Pan Ocean Gave Me An Offer: What Do You Know About Them? by SOJ(m): 1:26pm On Sep 04, 2008 |
mexy_fly: Also, in defence of Dis guy, he has valid doubts;what he expressed is not doubts about the truthfulness of ur job claim but rather the lack of indepth knowledge u av about ur job offer. If u did an interview wit a company like PanOcean, u wuld know all u can about them:pay,job conditions and so on. Honestly,ur ignorance about these basic info is surprising if not suspicous |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: I Got A Job After 7 Months Of Serious Hunting: Leverage Investment Or Zenith? by SOJ(m): 12:56pm On Sep 04, 2008 |
U need to clarify to urself wat exactly u want in a job. I cant help u wit a specific advise but i will share my experience in d hope that it'll help u too. I had 2 job offers recently: one in a logistics firm working wit Virgin Atlantic and another in a construction company. See, I studied building and i recently left a construction company dat wasnt paying well just to take another offer in Lagos. I had to clearly identify wat i wanted in a job in order to decide which job offer to take. Personally, i wanted a career in project mgt in addition with somtin dat will give me visibility and job security. I discovered that the construction company was owned by one man,just as the one i resigned from, and the logistics compy was a proper organisation with a staff strength of over 300 and with very organised operation system: so here was job security and visibility. But the pay for the aviation compy was low at start, and the construction company was starting at about N840,000 pa without extra benefits. I chose the logistics company cos of better job conditions:security, comfortable pay, closer distance from home and more organised company structure. Initially, it seemed like a hard decision to make but when i was able to clarify my priorities i was able to choose. Thing is regardless of wat advice u get from pple, make ur choice based on wat u think will make u happy and satisfied. |

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Graduate Standardization Examination (gse)! by SOJ(m): 6:20pm On Sep 03, 2008 |
@Vuitton dont take it personal, dear. I didnt mena to take a pun at pple who may not be able to afford 5k;i was once unable to afford N100 credit for my phone! But wat i'm hitting at is the thinking dat says that 'graduates do not have to pay to take a test'.dat is absurd;if a test is confirmed to be used a s a standard by companies for recruiting then jobseekers shuld be willing to invest both time and money in it,if the situation demands it,,,,we shuldnt expect free lunch all d time,,, i advice everyone who kinda resists this idea to step back and consider the benefits in the longterm,,,thats wat wuld work! |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Graduate Standardization Examination (gse)! by SOJ(m): 11:04am On Sep 03, 2008 |
@tayoTFC where did u hear anything about companies employing people who pass GSE? GSE is, as d name implies, a standardization test and method of assessing candidates suitability for employment. It is and was never meant to be the final abiter for job-seekers. even after passing the test, it is up to the companies using it to select the candidates they deisre according to their OWN qualifications either thru the tests scores or an interview. I think we r all over-reacting kaymd: it is not uncommon to find more than 2000 candidates qualified based on test scores. The last firstbank recruitment involved interviewing more than 5000 graduates nationwide; a large % in lagos alone. what the test stands to benefit us is increased fairness in computer-based testing and eliminating back-door tactics to a minimum. also, many more graduates stand d chance of having an opportunity to be interviewed. So the way i see it, more qualified graduates can secure jobs this way than ever. if u av ever done a number of tests and felt discriminated based on the fact that u didnt know anyone in the company, u will know wat i mean. GSE promises us a new vista in job seeking, dats my say. |

Vuitton: U r not just myopic,,,,u r ignorant. What is d correlation between an aptitude test and a job offer? Even d tests we do without 'paying a kobo' have never guaranteed us a job yet u 4get dat the logistics involved usually exceed the sum of N5,000,,, some of us are willing to go to another state to take a test;a venture ehich involves transport and sometimes hotel money, yet u are all wrangling about paying a meager N5,000 to do a test dat if taken with gud preparation can secure a job offer,,, Interesting If u av a grouse with GSE, let it be over somtin else and not its ingenuity in making life better! |
