VOLUNTEERING


Experience
For those just starting out, volunteering or interning is the best way to gain experience and build their skill base. For those already established, it is a way to give something back to their community, pass on skills to the next generation of professionals, or rediscover what they first loved about the industry.
Perspective
In the creative industries, ideas and perspective are two of your most valuable tools. The better you are at connecting with people and understanding where they are coming from, the better you can connect them with the products or services they need.
Benefits
There are so many organisations or people who can benefit from your time. Why not lecture at a local school or college on your specialist subject, help promote a charity working in an area close to your heart, offer to organise fundraising events for your church group, or raise the profile of a neighbourhood business you think others would love?

So when someone with connections asks what you’re looking for – be ready with a confident answer “ I am looking for a Senior Finance role within the oil and gas industry”. When that opportunity arises your connections will immediately think of you. Be that someone they want to talk...

Female Youth Corper Sent Tongues Wagging As She Steps Out In A Porsche Car For Clearance In Abuja

A yet t be identified female graduate observing her National Youth Service Corp programme in Abuja caused a stir when she came in a vehicle worth over N20 million. A Twitter user shared these photos of a female NYSC member who came for her clearance in a Porsche Cayman car in Abuja yesterday. He wrote;  “Somebody came with this to come and do the same NYSC Biometrics! I am going back to Yola! Abuja, thank you! I now have exposure! ” The starting price of the exotic car is N20.5 million and it goes way higher than that depending on the year it was made. The identity of the young lady remains unknown but there are rumours that she is from an elite family. This further buttresses the point made by people that serving in Abuja is very intimidating as one would have to contend colleagues who are from very wealthy families or have spent most of their lives studying and living abroad.
