Nice one, some of Nigerian graduates didn't let school pass through them, which is pitiable. making them unemployable cos they only go about with mere certificate. |

All points are valid. The need for high IQ, emotional intelligence, adding value, and professional mannerism is key forevery Nigerian youth to excel. I am rather an advocate of Entrepreneurship.

JARUSHUB: You are so on point, especially on adding value to an organisation. As an employer and recruiter my greatest nightmare has always been recruitment. I am always scared of recruiting. The average Nigerian graduate assumes that because he is a graduate, he must be employed. Often times, they are semi illiterates who have no idea about the course they have studied nor the career path they need to forge for themselves. I cry silently reading through some answer scripts, very disastrous, alarming and appalling. Most don't even have basic MS Office skills. All they think of is money and pay day. 1 Like 1 Share |

I weep for this country; the majority of our educated youths are unemployed. Having gone through the hardship of academic stress in our tertiary institutions, we cannot but wait for that day when our hardwork would pay off. Unfortunately, we are now out of school and still awaiting that day when we would be gainfully employed. We are yet to stop depending on our parent's benevolence; not because we are not trying to get a job but because the employers wouldn't employ us. The painful part is sometimes, we are so sure we did wonderfully well during the interview yet we never get the offer. Sometimes, the employers promise to get back to us, but if we wait for eternity, we still wouldn't get called. Based on all these unwholesome events, we tend to begin to believe that we are actually unemployable as quoted by the op; whom I so much respect but disagree with on this assertions. I have only six things to tell you about the lies they tell us. 1. They say majority of us are unemployable just to cover up for the fact that they never wanted to employ us in the first place. It is just a case of calling the dog a bad name just to hang it or how do you explain going through five stages of an interview only to be dropped at the last stage due to no verifiable justification. 2. They demand from us what they themselves do not have or how can we explain employers asking for a number of professional affiliations and certifications which the employer apparently does not have. They joined a system that aided their career development through these trainings and certifications but they in turn expect you to have it before joining the organization. 3. They ask you to cheapen yourself by trying to underpay you or in the case of the ladies, make you go the long mile, only for you to reject such advances then they later come and say you are not qualified. 4. They use recruiting firms to employ you so as to contract you as a contract worker; these were same positions and job role for which they were gainfully employed as of their own time. In the recruitment process, they would set questions most of them cannot confidently answer well just for them to make majority of the applicants fail; this is easily observed in job test where applicants are asked questions not related to either the job being applied for now the experience expected to carry out such roles; why measure a fish capabilities based on its inability to climb a tree. 5. They make us apply for job openings that they have either filled up or have already handpicked people they wish to give the slots to; Nepotism is the order of the day. 6. More than 85% of applicants for any job opening would end up not getting the job because there are limited openings. However, it is in less than 10% of Nigeria job openings that applicants are selected on merit. In conclusion, do not be deceived, you are not the problem, work harder on becoming better, gain new skills and don't ever give up; you will get your own job. 10 Likes 1 Share |

perfectgen: As much as I understand your pain, you have to realise that this country's over dependence on imported products has done so much damage to our local industries (we all drive cars and yet none of us can make a tire. Dunlop is gone). If there are no local industries, where is the money coming from?. You the graduate, can you help the company earn this money? The little money they still have is what they use to pay salaries. Each time Chinese products flood our market, another person's job is NO LONGER required. The company quietly releaves him of his duty. If you cannot help the company earn more money or gain stronger ground in Nigerian market or stop the Chinese imports that are running our industries out of business, why should they employ you at all? Do you just want to collect salary, watch the company fold up say "E kpele O" and waka comot? 2 Likes 1 Share |

uuzba: You made a very good point by requesting that we add value to organizations to earn our keep but I guess that is a digression from my grouse. My advocacy is a level playing ground for all applicants; giving the unemployed opportunities to learn and give their best to job opportunities than asking for 10 years experience from people you put age limit of 28 years on. Now to the issue of value, the business environment is highly competitive and demands ingenuity; most Nigerian organizations maintain stereotype operations such that things are done the way it has been done in the past without support for innovation and flexibility. Staff members who may want to bring about change are scorched and castigated using the parlance of 'don't outshine your master' therefore limiting the input of creative workers, yet they blame all workers at the end of the day, when evidently, they were never given the required opportunity. In conclusion, I am not talking of the lazy worker who just needs a job to get by and make salaries; I am talking of those who crave to make things happen yet not given the opportunity and unfortunately labelled as unemployable. 1 Like 1 Share |

In addition to all we have said. To be a successful entrepreneur. Which should be the goal of GRADUATES now. Since there's no enough companies and job in our country today. They should strive to know: *Who they are * what they can do effortlessly *what they love to do *Then decide between what they can do effortlessly and what they love to do, which one can people pay them money for. * Research and find out where can they get the people who will pay for what they can do. Where is their demand/market going to be fulfilled . Then create a platform to bring them together *How do they know how much they are worth *How do they continue to get customers *How to continue to grow the enterprise *How do they separate theirself from the enterprise I.

perfectgen: Level playing ground. YOu want the industry to give you opportunities to learn. As per you want them to teach you and pay you salary. Free teaching? Where I work, there's this IT student who is always pressing his phone, whatsapp and facebook infront of his PC. My boss too has a phone. But he's always doing a lot of MSExcel calculations. He hardly looks at his phone when in the office. The IT and other gradutes have not taught him anything new. He is the one who is even teaching them how to perform one calculation or another. How do you think he feels about the IT student and gradutes? - If you really believe that you can bring change to an industry, you should understand the full workings of that business and why they do things the way they do them. Your change may step on a lot of unpleasant toes that you are not seeing due to your inexperience. - You must see yourself as the boss himself and wear his shoes to know what he is feeling. Don't just criticize him. Only then can you pass accross your new idea with your own eyes clearly open. |

babasolution:One of the flimsy excuse that landed them in the unemployable state is what you just sampled again. For example, in Computer Engineering a typical uni undergraduate isn't suppose to see things like motherboards, RAM and HDD in lab while undergoing their B.Sc program. It is the students who erroneously think Computer Engr in Uni is same as Computer Engineering Technical Certification where they get to learn PC repairs. Most times the syllabus thought is very similar to what the teach in advance nations. |
