No One Owes You A Job by vadeoba: 12:11pm On Aug 06, 2018 |
Some people graduated with the belief that someone will help them to get a job after school. It’s not bad to expect people to help you, what is bad is when you behave like people owe you. If you want to get a good job, you need to get skills, invest in yourself and make sure you graduate with a good grade. I know a corps member that got a placement in Deloitte, E&Y, Afrinvest and other firms for his NYSC and was later retained. He didn’t get those opportunities because he believes someone owes him a job. Right from school, he invested in himself, he read books, attended conferences, wrote professional exams, learned about Excel, Sage 50 and he graduated with 2:1 which is the minimum grade requirement by many firms. If you can use your skill set to create value for people, you won't need to look for a job for long. You're responsible for your life. If you’re sitting around waiting for somebody to get you a job, you are only wasting your time. The truth is no one owes you a job after school. If it means learning a new skill to get a good job, do it. If it means sending 200 emails, do it. If it means waking up at 5 am, do it. You owe it to yourself to be the best person a firm will want to employ. Success is never given it must be earned. #employability |
