Ofcourse when I said camp out there, I didn't mean he literally did but I remembered he was there everyday until they gave him audience.

Now you see this mentality is what stops alot of people from becoming successful cos you're conveniently forgetting that the first 6 months to 1yr experience after graduation is usually the most crucial as it'll be your launchpad to whatever career you want to pursue subsequently.

It all depends on what you want and how far you're willing to go to get it. To each his own

@Swiftkid.....lol

This is what I was SUBTLY trying to let the poster know.

I am in the UK and getting ready to do my NEBOSH Diploma and so I know there are only about 2 or 3 registered providers in Nigeria, of which I don't remember seeing this one.

Good looking out though......lol

Bubewilson: You are totaly right. While i was waiting 4 nysc, i applied for jobs and stated the various positions i held in student organisations as my work experience and it did add balance to my cv as my interviewees where pleased to know that.

SLIDEwaxie: No matter wot rubbish u wrote there, u can't have an experience of 3 years in 1 year. That's how u write rubbish and think u're making sense.

So, if I'm working 8am to 4pm everyday, I still shld roll to a voluntary work jes to garner experience?
Why dnt u tell me to work 24hrs.

Time is time, experience is experience. No matter how hard u tried, u'll either say,
"I have 3 yrs experience as a marketer"
OR
"I have a year's experience as a marketer".

U can't be comparing urself with a hardworking man who works round the clock for3 yrs with u who had jst completed a year and u think u have a panacea to yrs of experience.
He had made mistakes u never made, he had learned the hard way, he had gotten himself sacked from a particular area, and had himself deployed to department he never thought of....

Dude, stop that rubbish....

You can only leatn some more, u can't steal the experience. You have to go right through it!

JimloveTM: It is very frustrating nowadays in Nigeria applying for jobs. The issue has gone beyond the availability of jobs to having the necessary JOB EXPERIENCE and work qualification before you are even considered for an aptitude test. Just this year alone, I have seen more than 30 high profile vacancy advert with work experience requirement of at least 2 or 3 years. What does this mean for the young graduate with little or no work experience? In this article, I will attempt to show you how you can land a job of your choice by building a 3 years job experience in one year.

The next time you see a job requiring 3 or more years of work experience, and you are a fresh graduate, do not let it pass, Apply.
Here is how the Magic works:

1. Use Mathematics Law in your favour: In mathematics, the concept of frequency and time are related, and you can buy time by an increase in frequency. Let me break this down. The number of times you do a particular task (frequency) is the same as the duration of time you have done that task. So if company is advertising for a job that requires 3 years job experience in lets say Software design, a person who have done this just 10 times in 3 years can boldly apply. On the other hand you may have done this 30 times in a year. Your job experience is worth more than that of the other man. Using the concept of frequency and time, you are more qualified, and it is worth 3 years too.

Kossyne:

Hi, I'm a fresh graduate from one of the public universities in Nigeria and will be due for service come November, I'm currently looking for a temporary attachment where i can garner relevant experience while waiting for my call up. Looking @ your comment, i think you re in the best position to offer some advice. I ll send u a PM so that we can chat privately, i hope you dont mind.

Oxone:

Well if people can stay a full year at home job hunting, i don't see anything wrong with keeping busy while doing that. I'd rather you find a volunteer job around you while job hunting than sit at home waiting for that dream job cos 6 months down the line, you'll have had 6 months experience and an advantage over your peers and those who are already in the job market.

I personally know someone who volunteered (Infact begged) to work for free in a big IT Firm.During that time, he was going for test and interviews while giving everything he had to the job. He resumed and closed with them and even worked overtime as well all on no pay. He became very proficient and the company started relying on him more and more. 6 months down the line, he was offered a job with a salary of 250k/month.

His mates were stuck at home with no job, no experience ofcourse complains about the job market.

Oxone:

The truth is Nigerian Youths are lazy!

They want that dream job without bringing anything to the table except a degree which you can easily buy. Ive seen plenty who would rather remain at home jobless than start off with peanuts. Most have this sense of entitlement and don't even know what they want. it beats me how they want companies to employ them and pay them good money without offering anything in return. Hell a lot cant even defend the so called degrees and yet they have a lot of demands as entry level staff

A lot of company are not willing to invest heavily in staff training except at the mid/upper level cos it cost money and time. They would rather employ someone with a little experience and start making money off him from day 1. i don't believe there are no jobs cos people get employed every day. The question is what are they doing differently?
