Huh?? Come again

Huh?? Come again

flash me biko.

@Op, I feel really happy to stumble upon this thread this afternoon. More power to your elbow. I like this kind of threads, the ones that focus on youth empowerment and development. Following you asap. But pls, can you share your email address?

2sexi: Thanks. It's okay. I understand you are busy. I am too and a bit distracted in a way that I sometimes feel I am not doing things right.


For instance, one can stand alone as a webdesigner, a fashion designer, a builder. Going forward, what likely or similar skill that is required in the oil and gas industry can one acquire?

Just saying I need to start making changes where necessary.

This year is gone already! To God be the glory for His mercy and compassion on us all.

Thanks for your understanding too. I appreciate.
I now refrain from answering questions concerning the oil and gas industry here. There are many oil and gas threads on the career section and such questions can be adequately treated in those threads. Or you may send a private mail to me. I will advise accordingly.

This thread is open to all that aspire to achieve a great career and live a life of fulfillment, irrespective of the industry they may be or aim to be. To ensure that we remain on track and maintain the purpose of this thread, I will rather focus on responding to general questions relating to jobs, careers, capacity enhancement, scholarships and education.

To God be the glory!

Cheers.....!

Pls is it frowned upon if an applicant uses a bit of colour on his/her resume? I mean modestly, not going overboard with it - lets say, using blue for section headings only. Is that ok? I have been pondering this for awhile now...

Sure! You can use a little colour if you want. It is acceptable. That can help to make your CV more presentable. But have it at the back of your mind that it will not give you an edge over others that use only one colour.

The dictionary is your friend.

pls I need the cv template,it is very urgent.....pls

please am new on this board or forum and would humbly like to seek the undiluted advice of Mr. XFIRE...Am 22 years old, studing geology in a federal university and presently in my final year. Problem is, my cgpa is barely a 3.42. After reading through many of your inspiring posts and topics, i suddenly became aware of the impending disasterous frustration that awaits me in the labour market should i graduate with this class of degree. I actually started poorly(2.74). Now am confused and exhausted, i need atleast a 4.4 to hit the capping cummulative of 3.5 coupled with the fact that i barely have this last semester(about 1 month left). Now my question is, should i fight on? even though it is obvious that my chances are slim, or should i honourably resign to fate....is their any splint of hope for a 3.4 graduate in geology related fields? Or in the general labour market.....am bitterly rottening in a bucket of regret and anger, i honestly crave your words of wisdom on this.

hello xfire et al

I wanna ask;
1. for a petroleum engineering graduates, is it advisable to include skills like; Ms words, PowerPoint, excel, Corel draw, etc on ones CV?
2. gradating with a cgpa of 3.90 on a scale of 5.00, is it really a good 2.1? can a cgpa of 3.90 be included in a CV?
thanks for your time.

can one include cgpa on a cv? If yes where?

If its a CGPA you're proud of, then include it. My Uni operated on a 4 point scale and we were advised to include ours if it was a 3.0 and above.

Thank you xfire for you've been an inspiration. While I understand your position on this issue I would have loved to read your response to his question as I'm in a similar state. is it possible to also send this reply to me?

Welcome to the career forum.

You never give up until the last minute. A former coursemate of mine hit the 3.50 mark in her last semester. Today, she works for an oil servicing company. Another coursemate started his final year with a CGPA of 4.42 and was able to hit the 4.50 mark after his last semester. Please do fight on. One quality they both had was positivity. Be hopeful. No need to be confused. Just see it as an opportunity to surmount. If possible, register some electives that can help you boost your CGPA. You don't have to regret yet. There is a battle to WIN.

And what if you don't make it...? What you need right now is to be focused on hitting the mark. So don't dwell on the what-ifs. Just believe and work towards a 3.5.

Cheers.....

1. Of course you can. As a matter of fact, the most important applications required by graduates (including engineers) are the MS packages (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Knowledge of the MS packages is a basic requirement for all graduates. They are the applications mostly used by most employees in corporate organizations. Other job specific softwares can be learnt on the job. I have worked in 3 different corporate organizations and I have used various softwares in the course of my career. And I can tell you categorically that the applications I use most frequently are MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Even as an engineer in an IOC, I spend considerable time working on the MS packages and internet explorer.

2. Well, 3.90 is neither too good nor too bad. It's just somewhere in the middle. It's fine to include on your CGPA. It's a CGPA you can be proud of cos it shows that you comfortably finished with a 2.1.


Cheers.....

Thanks bro

Very interesting job you are doing here partner. If and only if a lot of our young men and women will shun misconceptions out there and search for the truth. More people will rid themselves of whatever ill mindset that may be limiting their career ambitions.I admire what you have done here and I'm not a bit surprised because you have always impressed me with your humility. Do follow me back on this forum because I would deeply appreciate that. I guess you are wondering why I am sounding in such a way as to portray I know you personally....as a matter of fact I do. Let's say I was one of your mentor when it comes to those nocturnal/social activities. *giggles* I enjoy the whole james bondesque feeling the anonymity of usernames give on a public forum like NL.

Another clue as to my identity....I sat beside you during the accreditation at the AC for the MNC u first joined in FCMG industry.
