What do companies look for when accepting corpers serving in Ogun state?

The process of hiring for many companies does not change because you are a corps member. 

Although they will cut you some slack, that does not mean they will overlook everything else.

The first thing most companies look out for is your academic qualification.

With a first-class or a second class upper result, you will automatically become a hot cake ready for hire.

But it will do you much good is your course of study tallies with what the available position in the company.

For instance, a person who studied financial accounting and graduated with a good result will be preferable in a bank or accounting department of a firm

There are other requirements, and they are mostly soft skills. They include;

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Interpersonal skills
• Ability to use a computer well
• Creativity
• Ability to work under pressure
• Good morals

If you have any other certification or qualities that will be enticing to your employer, then add them in your application.

How to get the Best PPA to accept you during your NYSC service in Ogun state

Ogun state  NYSC will give you a posting letter to a predetermined PPA within the state.

Although, I have witnessed cases where those who have issues may choose to relocate to a new PPA.

Normally, NYSC does not encourage relocations away from your PPA, so make sure you read the NYSC rules and regulations to make sure you do not default.

Some of the challenges for which NYSC will accept your request to relocate to another PPA or away from an LGA is if you have a physical disability, illness, security or accommodation problem.

If you have any of the aforementioned issues, they may honour your request to relocate.

To get through the best NYSC PPA of your choice in Ogun state,  you have to write an application letter to them.

In your letter, you have to state that you are a corper and then mention other reasons why they should hire you.

Make sure you submit your application alongside photocopies of necessary documents including your credentials, results and certificates.

If the company accepts you, you will have to collect a request letter from them which you will present to NYSC as an alternative for the previous PPA.

Note that the current PPA you are trying to move away from must reject you before you present the request letter.

It will take some days up to two weeks before your new PPA will reflect on your NYSC portal.

Summary of the best PPA for services in Ogun state

Your service year is an avenue to make good connections, gain exposure and learn from other cultures.

So, if you happen to be posted to Ogun state, it will do you good to explore the state as much as you can.

But the best thing you can do for yourself is to make sure you get a good PPA in Ogun state for your NYSC service.

Getting a good PPA will put you in a place where you will get better exposure and also make more money.

In the end, you may be retained in the company depending on your performance, and I believe you will like to be retained in a good company.

Remember not to limit yourself and explore all available options.

Good luck in your service year
