Odunharry:Why not? You can definitely work in a corporate organizations. I hope you know that corporate organizations include banks, FMCG coys, service coys, audit firms, oil coys, etc. Many of these firms only require your BSc degree to qualify. Why CIPM, if I may ask? Do you want to be an HR professional or consultant? It will be easier for you to break into the corporate world as an accountant considering the fact that you are a student of Accounting Education. But that will require you to enrol for a professional accounting certification if you choose to be proactive. You should pursue an ICAN/ACCA certification first before acquiring a Masters since you are educational student. That is a more viable option except you have preferences for CIPM for personal reasons. Cheers.. |

Okay guys / ladies, I have not been on the thread for a few days. I temporarily got some added responsibilities at my workplace and in my personal life. I digress a bit..... Lemme give a brief explanation on the minor challenge at my workplace which has kept me busy for the past few days and has prevented me from updating the thread: My workload has increased over the past few days because my boss has given me some added responsibilities. I am currently working with a colleague on a major assignment with a deadline of December 2014. Unfortunately, my colleague has not been as effective as expected. Thus, my boss has been transferring his/her share of work to me! This has greatly increased my already bloated workload Wetin man go do na? In addition, I still have almost 3 weeks' leave pending for the year, and I am really hoping it will not put jeopardize my planned vacation I will also soon start pushing for a change of job role because I want to gain multi-disciplinary engineering experience. I hope my boss and in extension, my department will release me. It may likely be an uphill task and a battle. But I will determined to move. LESSON LEARNT 1: In the workplace, the reward for good work is more work i.e. more challenging assignments or added/higher responsibilities It's always good for a new employee to distinguish him/herself and be effective at work. Effectiveness means producing results i.e. to deliver. Once your boss has confidence in your ability to deliver, he/she will likely give you more responsibilities because of the trust. He/she may sometimes put pressure on you but don't be bothered, it's all part of the job demand. LESSON LEARNT 2: Have your mind set on what you want i.e. Be clear about your career goals, and pursue it wisely I spent my first year in the company trying to understand the organisation and clarifying my career goals. Now I know clearly what I want. Eventhough all is going well with me in the department and boss seems to trust in my ability, I will still request and push for a change in job assignment. Why? Simple, because a change of job role is important and necessary to achieve my career objectives. Over the course of my entire work experience, I see people who get stuck in their career path because they became too comfortable, lethargic and complacent in their current position. Many of them did not utilize early opportunities that were available to them because they became too comfortable at their current level. Now many of them eagerly desire to move ahead but it's almost too late. Though I must add that it's good to be contented with your current position. That's important if you want to live a happy life. But it's also essential that you evaluate your progression periodically. Cheers.......! Note: 1) I will soon post the sample CV's as promised. I am yet to do so because I need adequate time to include some helpful explanations and points as I post them. I will find that time. 2) Misterkay, I see you oo. Forgive my sins. I will give you a call soon, very very very soon! 8 Likes 3 Shares |
