As we all know, an average Nigerian youth starts another
phase of life immediately after NYSC. The reality of it all is that we are in a country where unemployment abound, except you are fortunate to get a job while serving or you got retained by the company where you had your PPA, or you are from a wealthy family that can get you jobs or establish you in your line of business but if you do not fall into this category then you need to read this post.
If you had passed through this phase and you are in a stable financial status now, we will like to hear your contribution via comments to help others and give them direction. It is usually said that life begins after NYSC, yes this could be true because once you are done with your NYSC you are unofficially inducted into the Labour Market.
Below are the five things you should do immediately after NYSC
Make A Decision On Your Future Source Of Income
What this means is you should decide whether to go into business or look for a job in any establishment. This decision must be made so as to give you a head start on this next action to take. You must give yourself direction on what next to do. Everyone has different potentials and I am sure by now you must have discovered your potential, streamline your potential to a particular niche and make a full decision to pursue it relentlessly.
Reduce On Past Extravagant Lifestyle
This doesn’t mean you should dress tattered or wretched, but try to cut down on some unnecessary excesses knowing full well that you are starting a new phase of life. Do not outgrow your shadow, try your possible best to live within your limits with the full consciousness that those things as school fees and feeding monies may not be at your beckon call any longer and you are expected to start taking care of certain bills.
Prepare Your Comprehensive CV
You are about to showcase your talent to the world, you have to put down your qualifications in black and white. You will be presenting them to companies if you decided to work. But if you decided going into a business, it is the right time to draft a business template. In our world today where it is possible to even start a business online without spending much, you can easily start a business – SEE BEST ONLINE BUSINESSES YOU CAN START FREE, and BEST ONLINE BUSINESSES YOU CAN START WITH LITTLE CAPITAL.
Make Friends With Already Established People
Births of the same feathers flock together; it is time to mingle with already successful people so you can learn from them. Do not make the mistake of thinking you have stopped learning, in fact another learning process starts immediately after your NYSC. In other to be successful you need to establish a new circle of friends, make friends with people that will influence your thinking positively and add value to your life.
Build A Purposeful Relationship
Hey! It’s time to start thinking about raising a family, you aren’t getting younger. The times of frivolities should be long gone, you don’t want to be in a relationship that doesn’t have a defined purpose, of course at this age and point in your life you cannot afford to waste your time in a relationship that will likely lead you nowhere. If you are in such, it is time to define the purpose and if your partner doesn’t flow along that line you walk away. There is always a better person, you don’t want to be distracted emotionally at this stage of your life, you need all the focus you can get.
Conclusion
Most Nigerian youths get so lazy after their NYSC with the believe that jobs will come to them, it is so sad and we hope this post and your comments will wake up someone to get busy and realize that success goes to those who dare!
