Welcome!!! This thread should have been titled re-‘Agony of a recruiter/hr mgr’ but much had been said already, and I’m more concern about mending a problem.

Attention was drawn to the above named post by Gold45 yesterday 30/10/15, and the heat it generated from both sides of the coin (i.e. supporters and disputers of the point of views). By the way, holistically, I believe the Nigerian system as fledgling, which doesn’t translate to mean her academics products are nonentity nor nonequivalence to their counterparts abroad, but with considerable efforts from this our so-called companies amid other stakeholders, the problem is with a solution. Suffice me to remind you, that innumerable Nigerian trained brains are performing excellently in their various profession both home and abroad. Also, remember that lots of productive people today doesn't actually have a tertiary degree.

It is undeniable, the lackadaisical attitude of our youths to education this days (I could remember a guy in my university days claiming all he needs is a degree even though it’s fifth class he graduates with), and the infestation of corrupt practices right from secondary school (e.g. Miracle centers proliferation) to lecturers in the university, where those who has money or body to throw around has an edge in grades. Government too playing their own part with poor funding of the sector and inadequate policies to cater for its army of young people. All we are left to do is hope and pray the situation is reversed.

With my experience in Human Resource Management during my National Youth Service days, I understood why companies ask for years of experience and formulates stringent measures in recruiting, whereas, graduates employed then weren’t fit for the job description and had to voluntary resign or got sacked (This doesn’t still translate to term Nigerian graduates as unemployable, as I realized the ineptitude of the employer in the proper training and induction of this new employees). Then I understood the purpose of Graduate Trainee Programmes, which I consider a wiser and more economical option to hiring expatriates, and also a good way in fulfilling social responsibilities.

Finally; pardon the digression, now back to the topic.

It is not an easy job to wake up in the morning without a job (I hope you understand). It's never a wishful experience for both the youth and the parents, relative of the economic situation of the country and how this parents struggles to sponsor their child at the tertiary level.

I believe we can help one another, as most times we are deformed because we are not informed.

Good Day, My fellow job seeker, How has it been? it is no news; the job/employment situation in Nigeria, and how graduates is being treated less than a peasant in some climes, kudos to those employers who claims God, even with their meager pay and extra-strenuous work responsibilities. By the way: My friends and I believed there is job in Nigeria, and that various factors had to be in place to get one. I won't bore you mentioning those factors here, as some may not apply to your scenario, but one of the factors stands out after God(Faith), and that's what brought me here today.
