How to get a teaching job in Nigeria

Wow wow wow
I am spicy as samba today because each time I have to share an idea with you I am so excited doing it.
Last time I told you of what to do to get qualified for a teaching position.

Now let's talk about finding a teaching job.
When looking for a job you don't really have to wait for an advert to be placed first, you can go to advertise yourself.

When looking for a job here is what to do.

First, case the environment you would like to work to see available schools, their address and their names.
Then write an application letter with an updated resume and submit to the school in person.
Be bold enough when you go and you can start by briefly stating why you are there with the reception because from the gate you should be allowed entrance into the school compound if you are to see the reception.

You can also check out the papers but most likely Tuesday guardian. There are also sites to check out  for vacancies in Nigeria depending on the city where you live. Just type the question on Google search.

For me when I am looking for a job I take the bull by the horn and go to submit résumé without the school advertising first. And when I get there I always start by greeting and then say( am sorry to bother you but I came to see if there could be any vacancy for a teacher, am here with my c.v) and most times I get the green light.

You would get better chances if you go during the third term holiday since its in preparation for first term. Plus

A Montessori certificate will give you a better advantage but that not withstanding your boldness is one Paramount thing that gives you the edge.

Now how should your résumé look like and
What should you expect in such interview
How are you expected to appear
All these are things that count if you have to get the job and you know what?

I would be here as always to share that idea with you. Just keep sticking around

Making a career in teaching

Hello friends
Last time I talked to you about choosing to study education,  am sure you are making up your mind already for the next u.t.m.e

Now let me give you tips of making a career in teaching
What is your discipline? at least we can start from there. If you didn't do education in tertiary level then you can start by
1. Doing a course in education ( maybe a diploma or PGD, masters)
      Find out from university sites what is required
2. You can do a Montessori course (it is a course in teaching) find out available Montessori study centres in Nigeria from Google

With little training you can apply for teaching jobs.
You can also teach in some small private schools without an education degree but to be on top of your game go for a teaching training and you would be applying to bigger schools with better salary. People will also feel free to leave their kids with you for tutorials at a good price.

There are lots of other tips I would share with you if you stick around. From interview questions, how to start being a good teacher and how to start making money in this long abandoned lucrative career.
All you have to do is just keep following and stay cool.

Choosing Education as a course of study

Hello........ Everyone, I feel so cool like a cucumber because
Last time I talked about making a career in education.
Today let's talk about choosing to study education in school.
First as a utme candidate you will have to choose a course in education when filling your jamb form online. For example I studied Accounting education.
Secondly, your most preferred choice of school will have to be a university where you can obtain a b/ed(bachelors of education) or a college of education where you can obtain an NCE (Nigerian certificate in education)
Thirdly, check out the jamb brochure to know the subjects you have to write during your utme exams. For me that studied accounting I did maths, English, economics and commerce. Then try to score up to 200 And....... You are on your way to building a career as a teacher.

There are lots of benefits in choosing to do a course in education and working as one who did.
I will tell you more in subsequent post and
Mind you it is no longer a female dominated field. OK for starts
how many male lecturers are in the higher institutions today? They are far more than the females and making money otherwise they won't remain there.

In my next post I will share with you on how to make a career in education even if you didn't study education in school, and more exciting tips still to come on subsequent post if........ u stick around
See you and

LoVe.....unique

A CAREER IN EDUCATION

Hello everyone, could somebody tell me how easy it is for anyone to decide to be a teacher in Nigeria?…….Didn’t  think so.
They say it doesn't pay well, there are troublesome kids, and so many challenges. 
So if you don't want to be teacher, then who is going to be a teacher to your kids?
Teaching can be both a very well paying career, enjoyable and fun to do one too. 
Firstly for jambits how do you choose a course in education? Then if you didn’t do education and you love teaching how do you start? OR, if you did education how can you start enjoying it?
In my next post you get to learn all these from scratch; just stay in touch.   
LOve…. Unique
