The jobless saga has been ongoing for a while, and it is nearly difficult to forecast when it will end.
Statistics show that the unemployment rate in Nigeria has increased steadily since 1991. To stay ahead of the competition and be the most sought-after employee both on-site and remotely, the following is a must to consider
Character
One of the main things most individuals lack that might offer you an advantage are qualities like honesty, integrity, and serving the interests of the company.
Being sincere throughout the interview process and acting in the organization’s best interests while at work qualify candidates for promotion because this is a quality that every employer seeks.
Enhancing technical skills
Graduating from a reputable institution only offers a platform to learn a more employable skill in your field of study.
For instance, if you have a B.Sc. in mathematics, you can further your education by taking courses in data science, machine learning analysis, robotic engineering, etc. An accounting graduate can do the same by taking courses in financial analysis, business analysis, and other related fields.
Cultivating inborn skills
Some skills are inborn and naturally placed; these skills are sometimes referred to as talents or gifts.
In our rapidly technologically developing world, already-available data are incorporated into machines to create artificial intelligence, which means that the development of these tools depends on the creativity of humans.
If we like it or not, digitalisation will automate some jobs, reducing the number of employers in that field, but with the development of an empathic, problem-solving, analytical, and innovative mind, you will remain irreplaceable and employable.
Researching, creative thinking, and the gathering of new data are skills that will remain valuable to the Automation organization.
Finally, hands-on experience is a good criterion that gives an advantage; this can be obtained quickly by applying for paid and unpaid internships and volunteer positions that build a bridge to import what you have learned into what you can now do.
Every organization’s Human Resources (HR) will only seek service providers with exceptional skills and character, necessitating the need to strategically position yourself to choose your dream job from a plethora of options.
