(see my blog) <br />What's your take, as someone from tne neighbouring country, on Nigeria's problems? Do you blame the UK gov for propping up a corrpupt regime, or do you think the Nigerians should sort out their own problems?dantesnosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644179558058568975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11648048.post-3656178723475478732009-04-26T16:06:00.000+00:002009-04-26T16:06:00.000+00:00Hi Emmanuel, allow me to leave some tips:

Make the best first impression and you will be remembered when a vacancy arises.<br /><br />2. Most employers are hard pressed to pay staff so taking on a new one is not attractive financially. Ask to work for free/do an attachment/internship. The most you might get is transport allowance, but this puts you in a working environment and you develop some skills. <br /><br />It will also allows you to know where your work strengths lie. It also builds character and puts you in a network of opportunities.<br /><br />Last of all: it guilts your boss to hire you :-)Afia A.
