Dear Nairalanders,

I bring my humble self to thee like a child in need would.

After few years of working and studying abroad, I'm finally home. And indeed there is no place like home!

Yes! home is sweet and I am very happy to be back to my love ones, friends, and even foes that I cherish nonetheless.

However, I am writing this in a perturbed state of mind. The reality of unemployment is making me increasingly apprehensive.

I've got skills, experience, and qualifications to magnetize that dream job, but it seems like there is none in the haystack.

This write-up is intent on getting a job through Nairalanders be it directly or indirectly.

I am aware that some Nairalanders are in a position to recruit in their individual organisations. Some are also highly placed in the corporate world and as such have access to privy information that could open employment doors and annihilate the shackles of unemployment in one's life.

So, once again, I bring my humble self to thee as I am in need of a job.

Without spilling much information, I present to us a little about me:

Age: Mid Twenties.

Qualifications:

MSc.Financial Mathematics(Abroad),

BSc. Mathematics(Nigeria) First Class

Work Experience: Financial Analyst (Abroad), and Assistant Accountant (Abroad).

Technical Skills: Excel, VBA, SQL, R, MatLab, Python, Oracle, Access, Word, and PowerPoint.

Other Skills: Numeracy, Analytical, Interpersonal, and Good Communication skills both verbal and oral.

Other information is available upon request including details of my job experience and specific competencies.

All I need is an interview to prove my mettle and I won't disappoint you. Thanks you all.

Moderator: uboma, davide470, Lalasticlala, and Seun, please do the needful...Thanks.

All you need bro is think outside the box.You already have what it takes to be a BOSS.Ask yourself must you work under someone?

Think outside the box and follow difficult but simple RULES:

You have the skill
Look out for the market
Borrow some cash from your family and friends(if don't have any at all)
Position yourself
Package and brand(thank God you have international taste)
Sell your skill

And lastly,watch and pray as you climb the ladder.

Why? You're afraid that you might get an unwanted job?

Oga I'm not an employer. I'm just helping you in case someone in a position to offer you sth comes around.

Since you gave out other information, why withhold your degree?

Tell us what you studied. We aint asking for your name, age, school, state of origin etc.

MSc what?
BSc what?

Seun:
Why? You're afraid that you might get an unwanted job?

Like the ones that ask for 10 years working experience and pay 30k monthly, and to add insult to injury, they will still be owing you like 2 to 3 months salary.

Mbkite:

"I want a job but I won't tell you what course I studied." Unfollowing due to lack of time.

Boss it has been fixed since morning. Apologies sir.

By d special grace of d almighty,I am a mechanical engineering graduate n v also finished my youth service. I stay in river state and currently working in a private school Buh about quitting in d next few wks(pls don't advice me not to cos you might not really understand what I v passed through)..

I have worked in not less than 5 schools n v come to conclude with d following;
1. Private schools are just forums for 'use and dump' of graduates from average families n ain't gat connection.
2. School work can be tedious especially when Ur boss is a lady or a woman. She never sees anything good in you as a young man.
3. They will always expect you to work with Ur last strenght Buh at d end of d month,to pay is a very big problem. For example,where am working now will never pay you till you go n beg for Ur salaries for many days into d new month,except that you will receive Ur salary at middle of d new month,in some cases,they owe 2-3 months(just like they owed us from July to September 2015)
4. Private schools can never afford to loose you inasmuch they also wouldn't treat yu like a human from a family just like them.




After some thrashy situations I v gone through in life in the name of struggling for survival,I v made up my mind to quit my present workplace(no going back).
I v tried everything to endure Buh things keep getting worse. Mind you,I v worked there now for almost 14months now..
Am not here to seek for an advice Buh to announce it publicly that I need a new job(I can still consider a school job only if I can v a rest of mind doing the work)


I stay currently at choba portharcourt.. So if you v any job for me even if it demands relocation(I don't v any problem with that),kindly link me up.. My contact is on my profile..



Thanks n may God bless yu

Wow! You've got skills mehn...

I think you should change the title of this thread. It's not catchy and not presenting the message at first glance. First Class too?

"A First Class Overseas Graduate Needs a Job" isn't bad. Sell yourself.

All the best.

QuantAnalyst, check out KPMG Nig. site, they are always recruiting.

Hmmmm............ This things are getting serious.

Go to Bain and Company Nigeria web site and contact the recruiting officer for Africa or the Managing partner for Nigeria.

Send him a mail and he will respond Asap and take it up from there.

That is if you're interested in a career in Management or Strategy Consulting.

Top Secret: Do a research on the major firms in Lagos that you know won't overlook your qualifications. Find out about their CEOs online and you will surely get in contact with their direct emails.

Compose a well structure cover letter outlining your skills and most importantly what value you can add to their organisation.

Believe me! Even if you're not invited for interview immediately, they will surely respond to you. And the advantage here is that you won't face many competition when you're called for interview. Continue that way till you get what you want.

I am here today because of this uncommon common strategy.

NB: It won't come easy but it will be worth it.

Wish you the best!

Also build a very good LinkedIn profile.
