Impact Of Good Academic Grades And Personal Qualities On Labour Market Success

GOOD ACADEMIC GRADES AND PERSONAL QUALITIES: "KEY DETERMINANTS OF LABOUR MARKET SUCCESS."

It is so good that you have taken this audacious step! I mean, making the decision to take your education to tertiary level and even beyond. Getting this far was not easy, I know. No doubt, you have endured many rainy and sunny days. You have gone through the bustle and hassle of elementary education, basic education, secondary education; and you have even done various examinations that range from WASSCE, NECO, UTME and post UTME.

Now, here you are! An undergraduate hoping to be a graduate in the nearest few years; serves his father land, and land a ‘very well paying job’ for himself. Good, you have envisioned well! But, truth be told; all these may possibly remain a mirage, or might I simply say ‘fantasy’, if you fail to strive for good grades and work on your personal qualities and traits.
You need not be told that this country has become so fiercely competitive that only those who possess the prerequisites are making head way and getting to the peak. As a student, graduate to be, and a potential job seeker, the prerequisites to becoming successful in the corporate world are your good academic grade and personal qualities.

The growth of this country’s population has become so exponential that we now find it hard to balance our needs with resources. By implication, Jobs that were always readily available for graduates in the 70s and 80s, have become so scarce that companies now take different stringent measures to streamline the number of applicants that can apply for their openings. One of such measures is setting ‘minimum academic grade’.

Except and unless you are not interested in working under anyone; if you do, I sincerely urge you to strive for good grades in your academics. Although, a high academic grade is not an ‘end’ in itself, but it is sure a very good ‘means to an end’. A good academic grade gives you an identity and recognition. It endears you to employers and carves attention to you. Good academic grade gives you competitive edge and you will need not be disturbed by minimum grades set by employers. However, all that said, I need to sincerely tell you that getting good grades takes sheer hard work and self-discipline. It takes perseverance and self-determination. You must be ready to pay the price and give all it takes. You need to set the goal and ensure that you diligently work towards it.

Now, after your good grade has gotten you those appointments for interview, the next thing that could either make or mar you in the journey of landing a good job are your personal skills and qualities. It is good that you have good academic grade! But, beyond that, the employers want to see what you are bringing to table. They want to see your demeanor, communication prowess – the usage of the queen’s language, your analytical skill, your professional etiquette, among others. Every employee of an organization is presumed to be a brand representative of that organization. Hence, no ‘image conscious’ organization would be willing to have a mediocre has its representative.

In conclusion, evaluate yourself today and try to figure out those personal traits, if any, that can mar your success and try to do away with them. That might require that you stop some of the things you currently do or even avoid some of your friends. You need to try as much as possible to cultivate those excellent qualities and also try to put-in for skills that you know would place you in a better position in the labor market.

I pray that we will all get to the mountain top after our sojourn in our various campuses.


Beautiful day to you all.

8 Things You Must Do Before Concluding Your NYSC Programme

Job hunting could be an uphill task for most fresh graduates considering the fact that it is a game of the survival of the fittest.Below are a list of 8 things you must get done while serving your nation to be better positioned for the job hunt especially in the private sector.

1.DECIDE ON THE KIND OF JOB YOU WANT: The first thing you must do is to take a decision on the kind of job you want.You can even stream line it down to the list of companies you would want to work for, that way you know what you are preparing for and how to go about it. It amuses me when job hunters come to an office and are asked what kind of job do you want and they go like “oga, any job”. Any job is no job dude, take a decision today because it will determine a whole lot of things in your preparation.

2.RESEARCH: Carry out a research on the company(ies) you would like to work with. It baffles me how people submit their CVs to companies they know little or nothing about. A little research will do you some good. Get to know a thing or two about their history, the people, their organizational culture, their vision and their mission statement.

3.PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION: Acquire at least one professional certification. This is why you should decide first on the choice of career/job you want as it will help you decide on which professional course to go for. Don’t be a party to the band wagon mentality that is prevalent among corps members. Everybody is going for project management, therefore must you too go for project management? Everybody in your lodge is enrolling for NIM, so you too must enroll for NIM. That is not true. Get to find out the professional certification that best suits your dream job. All you may just need is a course on safety or data base management. Trust me!

4.SKILL ACQUSITION: Please learn a new skill. Get your hands on something, so when they ask you, what can you do? You can provide a definite answer, instead of just telling them what you studied. What you studied and what you can do are two distinct things altogether. This is very important especially for my friends with a background in social sciences. A good skill acquired could also be handy pending when the dream job comes.

5.CHANGE YOUR WARDROBE: Dude please dress like your dream job. Starting building a professional wardrobe from that small alawee. It’s not the time to spend your money on another dirty jean, combat pants, or what have you. Get yourself a cutting edge professional suit (don’t bank on your convocation suit to do the job). It doesn’t cost much. For guys, invest on good ties,cufflinks, shoe, shirts, and a good brief case or bag and stop carrying your cv in that big brown envelope, some directors can sight you from their office and tell the security or secretary “don’t let that guy in, he is looking for a job.

6.WORK ON YOUR WEB IMAGE: Image is everything. Shun those clichés’ or fat lies on our CV, if I go through your Facebook timeline or twitter handle , I will tell the kind of person you are ( I just shared a little secret of what some employers now do, work on it and thank me later). If your Facebook timeline and profile is not decent, work on it or get a new one before you start job hunting. Follow the company you would like to work for on twitter, like their page on Facebook. Build a professional online presence .Get a good e-mail ID (Do away with the xyz4love@yahoo.com craze and the likes of it.). a good professional ID comprises of your name and your surname e.gadewalejohnson@yahoo.com.

7.IMPROVE YOUR NETWORK: The job you are looking for dey some people hand, Hello! Start building your contact list, invest in strategic relationships while you are still serving. Join associations, clubs, and forums. Ladies you can join Women in Management and Business (WimBiz), the biggest association for women professionals in West Africa. You can enroll for their mentee program as a young female graduate. Trust me, you don’t need to know the caliber of women you meet in such an association. One good contact is worth more than a hundred CV submitted at random. Build new, better, and strategic relationships.

8.GET A MENTOR: Identify someone who has distinguished him or herself in the career you desire to pursue. A good mentor can carry you along, just make sure the person is accessible. Don’t go telling me that Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is your mentor, when you two don’t communicate. She can
be your role model, but obviously not your mentor. Identify someone that can create time for you and probably entrust you with responsibilities, even if you don’t get paid.

I hope you find this useful

6 THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE YOU DISGRACE AND EMBARRASSMENT

6 THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE YOU DISGRACE AND EMBARRASSMENT

I was having a solitary thinking due to what i experience to day. I realized that there are things you should avoid if you don't want to be embarrassed.

let me go straight to the point. Read along with me.

1. ALCOHOL: I know some people will see this and hiss, but that is the truth, most people do abnormal things when they are drunk. last week a friend of mine, (name withheld) got drunk to stupor, when it was time for him to urinate, he went to the kitchen and urinated inside the cooking pot.

2. EXAM MALPRACTICE: OH my God, this one just happened today. My course mate was caught cheating in TEST, you need to see how she was embarrassed by the lecturer and everyone was looking at her like a thief. Her integrity was reduced to a stick of matches.

3. WOMANIZING: I remember when I used to womanize. thank God am a new creature. womanizing can lower your integrity to Zero. let me use Biblical references, see the case of Judah who went out to sleep with a prostitute not knowing it was his daughter in-law, he had no money but he gave her his belongings. when he was told she was pregnant he said they should stone her to death but she said, Judah is the owner of the pregnancy.

4. BAD GRAMMAR: it is so saddening that even the so called graduate of ENGLISH STUDIES cannot speak English fluently. I heard a graduate giving a testimony of what happened to him. He said, I quote " area boys pursued me and they wanted to CHUK me the knife...." chuk. I covered my face in shame. If you cannot speak good English it will be very hard for you to speak in public.

5. STEALING: when i say stealing, it is not related to picking someones property. therefore having sex without marriage is stealing, why? because you stole her vagina and used it. Did God permit you? The shameful aspect of it is when you are caught Unclad...

6. UNWANTED PREGNANCY: I WON'T waste time on this, but when you mistakenly, did i call it mistake? yes because that is the normal language we use for it. when you impregnate a girl, there will be shame all over you, especially when you are poor.

I need to drop my keyboard right here....
