NYSC is not cruise.
A smart person knows this.
They use their NYSC to make their CV look better..
How...
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICE(CDS).
Some of you don't know that you can use your CDS activities as volunteering on your CV that's if you actually did something meaningful.
When you see fellow corpers trying to do projects.. they have a plan...a goal.
Some are targeting awards..
Some are targeting jobs.
Some want something to document for a scholarship they want to apply for.
You want to apply for a scholarship abroad to study adult education...
You are posted to a school..
You can talk to the community and organise classes for adults in that community who are interested..
Document it.
Now imagine applying for a programme under the Erastus-mundus or chevening scholarship that has to do with adult education..
You write in your statement of purpose how you organised classes for adults to help improve their literacy and then link it to one of the UN SDGs...
As a medical laboratory scientist, a nurse or doctor in a rural area..you can do outreaches during your service year..
You are a graduate of chemistry or microbiology with bias for research on the environment...
You can do a a chemical analysis of the soil or source of drinking water in that community..
You can do it in conjunction with other corpers in your field. Do it in form of a project work and keep it..
You can approach a private laboratory and talk to them about your plans and see if they can run the analysis for you at a discount..
Based on your findings, you can talk to the community about how to improve the situation. You can even bring the attention of the local government to it if the results are not too good..
Now imagine how good this will look on your CV when you are pitching for a scholarship?
I am not saying this will work..
I am just sharing ideas on the opportunities i see that fresh graduates can utilise to make their profile better.
This will enable us think outside the box.

1. Blood Group and Crossmatching compatibility
2. ???
@KolapoMoney@pxrcyishim@KolapoMoney I get it. Sesko has had a taste of some minutes now. I think giving him a start next match isn't bad. He may give us something exciting, who knows.
@LeoSteve14@KolapoMoney@pxrcyishim It takes wisdom to communicate your idea without insult. Being disrespectful in public space speaks volume of how you were raised.
@FPLfrasier Very big mistake. That wasn't a conversation to initiate in the first place, because in an ideal sense of arrangement, Bruno shouldn't play that deep.
@KolapoMoney@pxrcyishim I'm sorry, I disagree with you on that. You can't shy away from pressure to over come it. You get soaked in it, come out and triumph.
Amorim has been second guessing himself and it appears he doesn't know what he's doing.
