Jobs in Nigeria

Count the Cost Properly   Recently, I have had a number of people calling me and asking me to advise them on their imminent career moves into 'troubled ' countries. But the paypack is mouth-watering...hmmm. I hear them asking me: "Please advise me on what to do...". Whenever someone comes to me with such an inquiry, what comes to my mind immediately is that this person is really attracted to this job offer because of the remuneration or other package or benefits attached to the job offer. Most times, these jobs are jobs that are based offshore. And if they are offshore, it means the employee seeks to expand his 'global' scope of professional experience, which in itself is very valuable. Most bluechip companies today will prefer a candidate that has multi-cultural experience in his/her job experience. However, every opportunity needs to be properly thought out so that one does not jump into trouble, rather than opportunity. It is very tricky sin...

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, w...

For one, Occupational Health and Safety is one area that all Oil Companies do not take lightly, especially those poised towards the "zero incidence" target in order to position themselves well before the Oil industry regulators and Safety auditors. Here, I am speaking of the likes of Chevron, Shell, Mobil, etc. What is NEBOSH? It simply means The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health.
