WHAT IS THE GAME CHANGER FOR MILLENNIALS IN A RECEDING ECONOMY


WHAT IS THE GAME CHANGER FOR MILLENNIALS IN A RECEDING ECONOMY


With rising cases on Unemployment in the Country and ample evidence to suggest that young graduates are 8 times likely to be unemployed than the much older and experienced persons, I have always wondered what what is the game changer for young Graduates? what is that one thing that could set them apart and raise them above the competition?
Some would say the school you had your undergraduate degree is the game changer, others would speak in favor of Professional qualifications and some still would say "It is your ability to sell yourself to your potential employers". I have therefore encapsulate this dilemma in the following poetic lines;if you had your undergrad study in ABSU, some had theirs' in UNIPORT.yours was in UNILAG, some went to Oxford.
you have an ICAN certification, some have ICAN,ACCA,CFA,OCP,OMCP certifications combined.
you have a 2:1 some had a First Class.
I have been wondering lately and I need your opinion on this, what do you think is the game changer for graduates fresh out of school?
you know the Governor of some states or members of the National Assembly, some have unrestricted access to the Presidency.
Again, between staying "humble" by closing your mouth on your achievements or selling yourself at the Risk of been seen as "over-ambitious", "not teachable" which is best?
please we need your views on this.

Banks will have to update their calculation at each reporting date to reflect changes in the credit quality of their assets. This will significantly increase the number and frequency of impairment quantifications that must be undertaken and the amount of data that must be processed for such purpose. At an event, Panelists said that IFRS 9 introduces changes to the classification, measurement and impairme...
