How Long Did It Take You To Get A Job After You Graduated From The University? by Ohthinktwice(m): 10:38pm On Dec 06, 2020 |
Considering how difficult it was to get admission into the University, one would think that once that happened, someone's problems would be over, however that often turns out to be the beginning of an entirely different problem which wouldn't be solved until one had successfully graduated from the University. Then after the celebration of graduation was over, the reality soon sets in about how all that effort, time and resources, etc being invested into getting a University degree was basically to make one able to get a good job. A few graduates are lucky enough to get a job immediately afterwards, but most have to wait. And the time of waiting differs from individual to individual. Some have to wait for months, some up to a year, others have wait to for up five years and even more. So what category do you fall into? He long did you have to wait before you got a job after graduation? Share your experiences here so others could learn a thing or two to help them prepare for life after graduation. Cheers. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Immediately I finished my NYSC in 2010,I was given an appointment letter to start working in a bank with a salary of N2,200,000 CTC which translated to about N183,000 per month. I did the documentation in the bank but at the nick of starting the job fully, the job was stopped by CBN. That is how I lost the opportunity. I started teaching in private schools from 2011 to 2018. During that time, I came to nairaland and wrote that I needed a tall,slim,dark, beautiful girl for marriage. I wrote my number in case a lady wanted to call because I have discovered that I love a lady more if she is the one who first approach me for relationship. If I first approach a lady, I can easily leave her without thinking twice. But if she is the one that first comes to me, I use to find it hard to leave her and even if she leaves me, I use to find it hard to forget her. That is my discovery about myself. So I wanted a situation where I will be able to love my woman so much and hold onto her forever. That was why I wanted a lady to first call me and indicate her interest in me. So I wrote my number in case a lady would have the presence of mind to call me for marriage so that I could marry her. Two girls actually called but when I wanted to get serious with them,they backed out because what I was earning in private schools was peanut. Although they didn't just leave me suddenly, but they were playing hide and seek and didn't want to immediately get married. They said I was the kind of man a woman would love to marry but that my income was too small. These two girls were in their early twenties so they were not under pressure to marry. They were still taking their time. I said no problem. Then last year,God answered my prayers and gave me a lecturing job. So I waited 9 years after NYSC to get a lecturing job. During those 9 years,I got a Master and I am currently running a PhD. Glory be to God. 506 Likes 23 Shares |

A month I was retained at my ppa immediately after my POP Still there till now and they pay well too. This happened because my late mother has always been praying for me not to seek for job before I see any. And God answered her prayers. So unfortunate she is no more here to reap the fruit of her labor. She died before I even serve. ![]() I cry inside me everyday because of her. She deserves to live long. She helped me to be in this position because of her everyday prayers. May your soul continue to rest in peace Mother ![]() 213 Likes 7 Shares |

I got the position of a filling station manager the same month I passed out. It was an NNPC affiliate I quit after one year because I was too decent to be involved in lots of "dirty things" that I was compelled to do. Today, I am my own boss 102 Likes 4 Shares |

I waited 2 months. Since then, I've worked under different designations: Secretary, Pharmacy Technicians, Teacher etc. What I just discovered is that, the easiest way to succeed in life is to discover and develop your talent / area of strength. Now, I don't have to rely solely on salary. My talent is feeding me 35 Likes 1 Share |
