Polish Yourself well to succeed

Things to work on before graduation
1. Spoken english
It is so sad that majority of
Nigerian students in tertiary
institutions don't bother about
polishing their spoken and written english. Some graduates speak english worse than a toddler, making one wonder what they spent 16yrs doing in school. You hear them spew gabbage like "he come and slap me and I come and beat him". If you speak such english to an interviewer,
even with first class clearly written on your CV, he will probably think you runzed your way through school.
The use of words like yeah, goddamn, omo, sh*t, f**k etc should be stopped cos they don't portray you as a decent person.
2. Mode of dressing
Looking fly on campus was one of the things I enjoyed during my
undergraduate days. It was fun cos you had so much of the opposite sex around to admire you. The moment I graduated, my orientation changed. Not that a graduate should stop wearing denims and sneakers, but sagging and putting on studs with crazy hairstyle should come to a stop if such a person wants to fit into the corporate world. In the corporate world, you get to mingle with matured or married men with enough decency. Sagging in their midst will
make you look kiddo. Just cos your favourite musician davido sags his trousers doesn't mean you should do the same. He gets paid to do that while you could get fired for doing the same.
3. Spendthrift attitude
The first time I heard someone say his salary is 70k, I hissed and
mocked him in my mind cos that was the same amount we students spent on phones just to oppress each other. Now I've seen people earning less
than 45k even with years of
experience. What kind of person do you think you'll turn out to be when all you want is the latest expensive gadgets? In the real world, no one cares about the kind of phone you use. Even on naija campus these days, girls have stopped falling for a
guy because of the phone he uses, they now trip for flashy cars. So, before you spend that huge amount on a phone, ask yourself this question: "is it going to improve my standard of living?". I didn't know I could turn my smart phone to a mini
laptop with WPS, Excel etc until I got employed. My phone was all about bbm, whatsapp and facebook. I now saw the full potential of the phone. You need to cut down on your spendings. Also, get the idea of clubbing off your mind or it might ruin your pockets. The money saved
from disciplining yourself can be
used to start something great. Use your head.
