lanreni: consider a graduate's story of hussling from day one he leaves school. from one promise to another,from test to test,from interview to interview with no success.even offering to work for free,but to no avail.before he realizes,years roll by.what can he do?.quit job seeking,go into business fully? are they companies/recruiting firms willing to give such a person a trial in Nigeria? consider his financial position at this time.please i need your candid opinion,suggestion and information if any.

ifyalways: First off what did the graduate "study" in school ? When folks force themselves just cos they couldn't make good scores in Jamb to do courses like "microbiology, agric science, guidance and counselling etc" in todays "Nigeria", you can't help but wonder if such people are born stoopid. I'm not saying those courses aint great, they might be outside this shores but in Nigeria and with a mere Nigerian Bsc?c'ommon please!!!

D sage: @ifyalways,

See madam, it's not just about the kind of course or GPA you had that would guarantee jobs these days. The fact is that, demand is greater than supply ie(more graduates were produced every year with limited or very few available jobs).

You're talking about professional course,I laugh. Do you aware that thousands of people out there has their master degree,ICAN etc and yet still find it difficult to get a job? Whereas I know some people who recently secured a good jobs with HND and B.sc certificate
respective.

edelweiss: My advise to u is to do any legitimate job available to raise capital,sno matter how small the salary is, many of us don't have people to help us raise capital for business,the banks wants çolletleral,so all road seemed block but I for one know the is always a way,and being female who VOWED 2 ave things straight I planned a few thing.I graduated wit a 2'1 Unical biz mgt, lookd 4 a job for almost a yr,but I decided to take a 25k job,while at d job, my first salary, I went to trade fair and told d owner of a perfume shop that I want to trade with 20k, I was given 4 5oml perfumes, which I ended up selling for like 7k each by the end of the next month I had up to 60k, I kept puting my little salary into my business'in six month I was worth more than half a million,(sincerely speaking all the money was from the perfume sales and salary)I was going top work one day I saw a shop at a bustop I stoped by and told them I wil come pay for the shop at d end of the day,I got dat shop with no exact tin in mind to sell, after I got the shop,I looked round d neighbourhood and asked myself what could I supply d area? That is how I started selling wine and spirit, I employed a sales girl, I know my stock taking'I was still working still selling my perfumes but my capital was diversify so I tot of how to make more money,I decided to ave a sales promo 'which was buy 5 100ml perfume opr introduce me to people to buy it and get one free. Come and see girl friends scotting for people to buy my perfume, I enlarged my clientele, after dat promo boom I entered selling shirts along side it, today I tell u at 31, with just 25k salary I owe dis business and a few I didn't mention and d natural law of money set in,I ave got anoda job in an international firm, all thru d connections of my client!

Next, what was the graduates GPA?whatever, however, anyhow, every undergraduate in Naija should aim for 2nd class minimum. ie 2.2 .

Third, grab an short professional course you can while waiting. It enhances your CV. Even a new foreign language.

Don't ignore little beginings. Go for a job not cos the salary is great but consider the boost it would do to your CV. Plus the experience you'll grab.

Network!!! Anywhere you go, church, club, fbk, twitter etc look for positive people and network with them. Grab opportunities, sell yourself at every given time.

Think of being your own boss. Look around your immediate enviroment, what "demand" can you "supply" ?

Consult God!
