I have wanted to do this a long time but I procrastinated. I certainly want to help other learn from my experience and the experience of those I have learnt from.

I got my first offer a just month after NYSC in an Oil and Gas company as a graduate engineer, I have gotten offers from different organizations across different sectors including an investment company, financial institutions, and I got to the final stages of a lot of recruitment processes as well.

I will introduce myself as a graduate who is not always the smartest in the room, I'm certainly not the dullest either but I always find a way to get around my challenges.

This thread is targeted at fresh graduates and corps members who are aspiring to join the labour market. There is just one basic instruction and you will have the advantage that you desire in these recruitment process.

To be continued.

Burn your certs and japa

The basic rule I followed is simple - Never forget the gathering of thy brethren - a lesson I learnt the hard way as an undergraduate. It later became my guiding principle in life and particularly when job hunting.

Now, the first thought that may cross your mind is joining group including WhatsApp and telegram. This is just one step but more importantly is maintaining a circle that gives you an insight to what the recruitment process is, end to end.

For example, my first attempt at the PWC exam was a disaster. I was on a WhatsApp group where materials were shared but the materials were overwhelming that I majored on the minor and vice versa. It was after the exam I realized that all the questions asked were in the shared folder but I focused on Dragnet's past questions instead of SHL, the exam body which would usually conduct PWC's test questions. And guess what, I failed.

From my experience above and some others I'll be sharing, I learnt quickly that most recruitment are never fair. Some certain sets of people would usually be at an advantage either by being privileged to have seen some materials or have been hinted of what the process would seem as. It's your duty to be among these sets. Investigate, talk about it with friends, ask questions and be prepared.

Most recruitment exercises are concluded even before they start. This is not to mean that being intelligent wouldn't get you the job. It's just that a little advantage put you at a better place in the contest and considering the large pool of candidate, little things and tiny details make the difference between who gets to the next stage and who doesn't.
