tessygirl:
12th of July 2014 I passed out from service. My friend with whom I was staying with, spent her service year with some ICT schools in Ibadan to learn ICT skills, while I stayed behind. She later got a top job while I managed with a small secondary school. I later moved to Lagos and got a job as an Admin person with a small hotel.

About a year later, I got a Teller Job with a new generation bank and I was working my ass off with a small paycheck. My other friend was already attending conferences and posting all sort of executive pictures online (It was so intimidating). The sacking spree then started in most banks, and I was affected. But I discovered that the I.T guys at the backroom were always confident despite lots of sacks going on. “Why can’t I be like them?” I asked myself. “Do they have 2 heads?” I asked again.

Currently I am working with a big ISP firm in Lagos and I am doing wonderfully well in terms of Finance. I don’t write this post to show off but to tell other people reasons why they should learn ICT skills even if their job role is not related!

So many Job opportunities

God knows that this month alone, I have seen countless number of Digital Marketing jobs, Software Development Jobs, Hardware and Brand Communication jobs. But I come up this forum and still see people begging for jobs. ICT is like a virgin field in Nigeria, yet to be crowded (I tell you from experience) unless you don’t know your skill well. I am already thinking of attending Digital Marketing Training, just in case my present employer messes up or I see a higher job offer (As I intend to leave the country and become a full digital Marketer like Click here to see how it was explained in this Post You also see reasons to learn ICT skills?

Peace of Mind

Even if you are sacked today, a competitor is waiting to utilize your ICT skill. A Digital Marketer with Pepsi can easily switch to Coca-cola with ease, even if the post isn’t vacant. A Network Engineer with Cobranet can switch to IPNX, even if they don’t advertise the position. Which other job sector can afford you that privilege?

Multiple Job Roles

Only ICT jobs gives you the priviledge of handling two or more jobs at the same time. During my learning period, I was a bank teller but also carry out networking jobs during weekends. I know how many times I collected sick leave just to help set up a CBT center in Lagos. The revenue was 2x my monthly salary. As a H.R person, can you handle more than two job roles at once? Hell NO!

But Imagine if you had a skill like – let’s say Digital Marketing alongside your H.R skills, can’t you help manage someone’s business online while you do your day job? We have to open our eyes to the fact that ICT rules!!!

Utility Staff

They will marvel at how a Teller girl could offer Networking advice to our Engineers. They wanted to retain me, but someone was offering a higher pay. I have knowledge of accounting, I am a Network Engineer and I am about to learn More. Call me a jack of a trade – no problems, but I am a master of all.

Higher Pay

A small Business man or Enterpreneur with Digital Marketing knowledge and the one without, who would generate a higher revenue? A H.R person with Oracle Database Administrator skill and the one without, who will get a higher pay?

An accountant who can develop a solution to help solve a problem in his firm and the one who is only an End user, who will get a higher pay?

If nothing else would convince you to learn ICT skills, I hope this will convince you.

Steps to take to learn ICT skills

i) Determine what skill would help you achieve any of the following above

ii) Choose where to learn

iii) Pay and start – it might be expensive or might not be, but it is worth every penny.

iv) Graduate and start living your dreams.

Questions about the right skill? please use the comment section and I will respond. Thanks.

Hi Tess. I'm currently an undergraduate. And this is a major heads up. please can you list the growth stages of your ICT skill set journey? like what you learnt first, the the next up to your current level.

Fabzgrace:
Was yours successful?

He said it was not *good* guess we can infer the answer from that. The questions were wow and I don't know if it was the site that was slow or my browser, but which such slowness its difficult to think properly when time is working against you.

Have you written?

Gourdoinc:
thank God for your life. he should investigate within, he will have an idea on. who and who could be responsible. thus involve soldiers. I once did that in those days and I watched these cultist children suffer in military detention for over 6months. afterwards I transferred them to Kiri Kiri for 100k per month which their parents were paying.

after they assumed they begged me, I ensured they were expelled from the school and blacklisted by jamb to ensure no federal or state university or poly can take them and even if they do they will never go for youth service.

wanna know what happened afterwards?

anyway point is that, when you want to deal with ur enemy, finish him completely and even his family

what happened afterwards?

Tynasparks:

Tynasparks:

Hati13:
I'm not going to do a crime. It's better to say "complete" than "committe".

Typographical error though. It has been corrected. Thanks.

How ever there's more to life than suicide. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here.

Hati13:
I've few secrets, which are really troubling me since 2 years ago. They aren't shameful secrets and I know they are normal things, but I don't want to expose them to anyone. Few people partially know about it, but no ones know it fully. The best thing is, I'm going to take them to my grave on the early hours of Monday(my location time zone is +3).

You plan on committing suicide?... there's more to life than that.

MarieSucre:
You mean you mastrubated. smh

So you're indirectly inferring you have not masturbated?

NeeKlaus:
1. The questions asked were based on Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative.
2. There were no calculators. I can't remember using any for the Quantitative.
3. My memory is fuzzy but if I can remember correctly, 30 minutes were allocated for the 50 questions asked. 25 questions for each section.

Any past awardee can correct me on that if I am wrong.

interesting that means we should be expecting 100 questions, because the said its a 1 hour test... any possible strategies you can share with us? and what was your score like?

NeeKlaus:
Okay. I am a current awardee of this scholarship, tho.. I got it last year. Any questions?

Hello, how were the test questions like? were calculators allowed or were they provided? how much time was also allocated to each section?
