How to Get a Job in Nigeria and Earn Over N900,000 Monthly

I was totally amazed recently when I discovered that there are people in Nigeria who despite the unemployment "saga" still earn over N300,000 per month. (And excuse me, I am not talking about M.Ds or presidents of Big Corporations). am talking about young employees of ages between 26-35.

I am sorry that I won't be able to reveal their identity here for security reasons.

The latest one I heard was of a guy who earns N930,000 monthly. You want to know the difference between him and you? Simple.

He has got rare skills and so he is highly sought after. The problem I am having with a lot of
Nigerians is that they stop learning after graduation. For instance, someone who studied accounting in the university has forgotten that he has to compete with other accounting graduates from other universities and polytechnics.

So, how do you make yourself unique? By going the extra mile. Please I am not talking about an ordinary masters degree with no skills.

I am talking about you becoming a rare expert in your field.

Today, the likes of Beckam, John Terry etc. are the highest paid footballers in the world. Why?

Because these guys are highly skillful and they took time to develop themselves.

I promise you that if you can take the time to really work on yourself, it would be the turn of companies running after you and not you running after them because among the other 10,000 job seekers in your field, you are the only one with a difference (positive).

How do you get these rare skills?

1. Go for valuable professional courses.-I weep for those who go for these courses just to get
the certificates.Time will always tell. Look for the ones relevant to you and apply for them.
E.g CISCO, ICAN, CCSE etc.

2. Attend Related seminars and workshops

3. Get books,Videos,Audios on your field and study.

4. Do personal development.

All these are done easily and you will be amazed at the results.

I wish you success.

Do you know that getting a Job In Nigeria takes over 3 years for some people?

Don't join them. Get informed.
