I have Two Job Offers, Which should I choose?

I know most of us who are a more experienced in the labour market have come across this question especially from the younger job starters or new graduates. 'Please advise me: I have two or three job offers. Which should I choose?'

Usually, the attraction comes from the high-paying ones.

My candid advice is to look inwards and think of which of these would offer you the opportunity to enhance or hone your SKILLS.  Today, a fresh graduate from any Nigerian university is simply a neophyte "knowing nothing" and the earlier he/she understands the realities of the employment space, the better for him/her. As a new graduate, please focus on GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES more than anything else and after two or more years after gaining the required skills and competencies then you can begin to DEMAND your pay package since by then you would have achieved high bargaining power.


You need EXPERIENCE and your focus should be a job that offers your careers advancement prospects, without sacrificing your well being.

In a latter, blog I will be talking about how to do a self assessment and remuneration assessment or evaluation as a fresh graduate. You don't just accept any offer.

Good morning and Merry Christmas.
