A wise man once told me; The Nigerian Job market can be likened to a man throwing two pieces of corn kernels to five thousand birds and asking them to feed. That's the story of getting good jobs in this country. I never understood how hard it was until I graduated. If you have anybody in school who still thinks his only obligation is to make 2:1 and graduate, please let them know it is far more than that. 1) What connections have they started making in their field/course? 2) How many internships have they undergone or planning to do? 3) What other related skills can they add to their Certificate to make themselves employable. Example, people who studied Computer Science, can they program, develop apps and websites? 4) Are there low risk businesses they can start doing right from school so even if job doesn't come immediately they will have a source of income, not asking people money for recharge card, etc? 5) Do they have plans to study/move abroad? Have they started researching on affordable schools, scholarships etc? These and many more! Nigeria is not like before that once you graduate you become a Chief. Everything na struggle oo. The streets are hard. Start planning for the future the moment you enter school. No just carry book for head. Think Critically and get people who can mentor you. My two cents. 82 Likes 11 Shares |

It was during one of these ASUU strikes and I was looking for an internship badly. I eventually got the opportunity for one interview. I was preparing for a coding/technical interview and had probably never attended an interview at that point in my life. There were two interviewers, a man and a woman. They asked me “Tell me about yourself”, I didn’t know what to say. I just went blank. I had not prepared for questions like that. I could tell the interviewers were wondering what was wrong with the stupid candidate in front of them. The both of them decided to leave the room for me to relax myself. I carried phone to sharply google “how to answer tell me about yourself” but I didn’t get the opportunity before the interviewers came back into the room. They asked me the same question again and I went blank. Then the male interviewer and I started talking about football lol lol. He asked a few technical questions after that. Eventually, he opened my GitHub to check my previous projects. He found a php project and asked me if I write php. I responded instantly that I hate php and that it was a friend who contributed that code to my GitHub. He asked me what language I thought they used in the company ![]() I knew I had bleeped up. They said they were going to get back to me but all of us in that room knew I was not going to get that job. Thanks to that embarrassing interview, it shaped the way I approached technical interviews. 23 Likes 1 Share |

I remember once during one of the numerous assu strikes, i wanted to do any small job to make some extra cash before school resumes , i went to this bar to ask if there was any vacancy and the way the manager there looked at me when i told him of my intentions made me feel sub-human , before he told me that there wasn't any, i had already made up my mind to not work there anymore. 8 Likes |
