Not so sure about people calling. Finished with a First Class in Industrial Chemistry and I am clueless. Still in naija and havent gotten any job? Any advise? I am interested in Energy sector. And i am just 22. I really need advise o Gerrard59: |
Re: Achieving The Dream Career: My Story, My Lessons by Gerrard59(m): 5:26pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
Lynuche:Congratulations on you finishing with a First Class. You have crossed the first hurdle. Energy? You mean Oil and Gas? I don't know of your business/corporate knowledge skills, but if it's the oil and gas industry I think you should have known by now. The industry is in a lull at the moment, low prices=unprofitability=layoffs and a freeze on recruitment process. However, you can target the downstream sector most notably Dangote's refinery, fertilizer and any of his allied companies. It's not wise to put all your eggs in one basket(in this case oil and gas). Diversify your search, practice more job test past questions, develop a knowledge about corporate Nigeria (one of the reasons why C-suite executives earn more is because they determine the financial state of the company). In conclusion, I advise you intensify your search, recreate your CV(include your CGPA), be versatile (I can discuss any topic, ranging from career to any sport to the global economy to climate change to religion, politics, renewable energy, aviation, Big4, MBBs, magic circle), visit Nigeria's Muse, Jarushub, peep at Forbes magazine, The Economist, The Financial Times etc. Be ready to spend oh, looking for a job is also a job. http://www.testcentre-ng.com Www.jarushub.com Have a great day. P.S. You can visit those websites Which school did you grad from? 1 Like |

darellrivers:Good day Darellrivers. I was searching for clues or any article that might help me in applying for the Common Wealth Professional Fellowship Scholarship when I stumbled back into the thread that motivated me to get the job I'm doing now. Impressive huh? You guys are doing a great job here. Since you're an alumni of the programme, I would really appreciate it if you can allow me to borrow few minutes of your precious time to guide me on how to go about the application so as to be successful. Thanks in anticipation 1 Like |

kalunomics:Hi Kalunomics The Commonwealth Professional Fellowship is NOT a scholarship. It is aimed at "mid-career professionals from developing Commonwealth countries to spend a period of time with a UK host organisation working in their field for a programme of professional development" (http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/apply/professional-fellowships/). Are you looking at the Commonwealth Scholarship (to go study in the UK) OR the Professional Fellowship (to go work briefly in the UK)? |
Re: Achieving The Dream Career: My Story, My Lessons by stephen2016: 7:55pm On Feb 13, 2016 |
Please I need some advice from the gurus here, I graduated with a 2.2/ 3.34 in Mechanical Engineering, I am presently doing my NYSC. Before you drop and advice, just know that my greatest passion is designing, but i dont know if there is a market for that. I dont really like the idea of working for somebody, I just want to be my own boss and do my own things. |
Re: Achieving The Dream Career: My Story, My Lessons by simiolu1(m): 10:03am On Feb 15, 2016 |
stephen2016: If Nairaland is your testing ground to know if there's a market for designers, then you're on a long thing. Secondly, Design as a word is quite vague or at best describes a large industry. Are you talking about product design, logo design, web design, industrial design? 1 Like |
Re: Achieving The Dream Career: My Story, My Lessons by stephen2016: 6:45pm On Feb 15, 2016 |
simiolu1: I am talking about product design. Logo design and architectural designs . those are my flares |
Re: Achieving The Dream Career: My Story, My Lessons by simiolu1(m): 1:18am On Feb 16, 2016 |
stephen2016:(flairs) Ok. For product design, kindly read about Jonathan Ive (Apple's Chief Design Officer). Surprisingly, this guy went to a design school; not the traditional university. Unconfirmed rumours say he is the highest paid executive at Apple today. Logo design--Paul Rand. That man's portfolio humbles logo designers till tomorrow. Architectural design? Don't know the big names in that field. However, if design is your thing, then you had better start taking it serious. I studied Physics and graduated with a 2.1. A guy in my class who graduated with a 2.2 was probably the first guy that got employed in my class. He simply took his design and drawing skills serious. Way back in 100level, this guy would sketch comics with pencil and biro. By the time we were in final year, he had moved to colouring the comics with Photoshop and Illustrator. When he went for his interview, he only showed the panel his portfolio on his blog and voila; he got the job. This link is a link to one of his comics which was posted by a friend of his. https://www.nairaland.com/2411482/introducing-penzu-comics My advice: 1. Get familiar with the softwares you are going to need to ply your trade. 2. Learn to draw if you can't. Believe me, drawing makes design easy. 3. If you have the funds, get enrolled in an online design class to know the basics of what the branch of design is about. If you don't have the funds, you can use torrent engines to look for tutorials. 4. If you have the funds, get a drawing tablet like Wacom. I love designing myself but its not my thing. However when I play with logo design, results like the image below happen. The logo was meant for a business venture between a friend and I. However, the venture was D.O.A ![]() 1 Like
