Help Me Choose Between These Two Job Offers by hizzylife(f): 9:09am On Mar 31, 2017 |
Please my fellow Nairalanders, advice me accordingly. I am a Batch A Corp member passing out soon. All these while I've been applying for jobs I saw here and on other platforms but my efforts have not yielded much fruits though I'm still hopeful. However, I have two options I'm currently considering. One is that my PPA (a private secondary school) is willing to retain me for #22k per month with accommodation and secondly I have a job offer with an Indian company to work as a quality control officer for #25k/month. Now my confusion is that though the Indian company is in my field but their working conditions are terrible. It entails that I work 7am-6pm, Monday -Saturday and live within the factory premises which means no visitors or free movement. But the school offers me time (I'll work 7:30am-3pm, Mon-Fri, free weekend midterm break and holiday) and freedom in case I want to improve myself in other areas. Now should I choose the Indian company for the sake of experience or the school for the sake of time and freedom it offers? Finally I studied food science and technology with additional qualifications in Project Management and HSE. I'm open for other job options. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Depending on your interest. If you like teaching children and you want to build a career from it go for the school job. You can use your free time to search for better job But if you want to continue in your field go for the Indian coy job. You will be able to get relevant job experience that you can build your career on. Though the work conditions might be stressful but you will get the needed work exposure required in your field. 17 Likes |

The honest truth is that both jobs should be seen as short term jobs. I do not see you spending a long time in either job due to the salaries on offer. You would obviously be looking for other opportunities irrespective of which of the 2 you chose. I would advise you take the job in the Indian company just for the work experience so long as you have a plan to move on within the next few months. The money and working conditions could be terrible but the work experience would be invaluable. At this stage of your career, work experience is more important. Some people even work for free just to gain relevant work experience. If you take the job in the school you may enjoy the working conditions but the work experience may not be that valuable. Irrespective of which offer you take, just don't plan to remain there in the long term. 54 Likes 2 Shares |

I'll advise you go for the school offer. It will give you much needed time to apply for better suitable jobs. Also, kindly give yourself a timeline, let's say 10 - 15 month at most to have left the school and gotten something better. I wish you the best. Good luck.

I will advise u go for the job at the Indian firm cuz of the experience you will garner from there which will surely help u when looking for other jobs, I know it is hard for now but what u need is experience and not enjoyment, Indian firms is where u will surely learn and gather enuf skills, the major thing now in Nigeria is experience 7 Likes 1 Share |
