5 Productive Things Nigerian Graduates Can Do During Weekends

Are you thinking of productive things Nigerian
graduates can do during weekends? It is good to
know that weekend relaxation is meant for those
who earn so much with their day jobs, and as much
they need the weekends to wind down on pressure.
What about job seekers or working fresh graduates
who are underpaid? The answer is “the hustle still
continues”
If as a graduate, you spend all your time during
weekends catching fun, then you will have just
yourself to blame. There are one thousand and one
things Nigerian graduates can do during weekends,
but about nine hundred and nine of it is considered
non-productive.
If you are in the school of thought that nothing
should disrupt your weekends, then don’t bother
reading further.
I will list out about 5 productive things that
Nigerian graduates without jobs can do during the
weekends that will be of great help to them.
Take up weekend jobs
It is normal for every fresh graduate without jobs to
be short of money – unless you are a rich kid. The
weekend offers great opportunity to rake in some
money. I am not referring to the “popular method of
making money among youths”, I mean hardworking
methods.
There are several weekend jobs to earn you some
cash during the weekends, but the most popular of
them is either ushering or catering jobs. There are
several parties going on around various states in the
country, and all you have to do is to register with
several events planning firm. Once an event pops up,
they will employ your services.
The goal of this job isn’t to remain in this position, but
to save up cash and go to the next step number 2.
Learn a new skill during weekends
Depending on what your passion is, the weekend
offers you a perfect opportunity to improve yourself
and add a new skill to your portfolio.
Either you sponsor yourself from money saved, or
you request for sponsorship from guardians. Either
way, you really need to improve yourself. Instead of
having fun during weekends, you can apply these
tactics, improve your portfolio, get the desired job,
and live the life you want.

Attend Networking Events
There are several networking events to attend during
weekends that can give you the opportunity you
have been waiting for. The importance of networking
to a graduate can never be over-emphasized. You get
to meet people, relate with people in your industry,
and get connections to jobs you might have an
interest in.
I have seen the power of creating powerful networks
(what we call connections), and I know how it
works. The more quality people you know, the more
chances you have of meeting people that matters.
You can get more of these by registering on several
events sites
Eventbrite
Nigerian Chamber of Commerce
Nigerian Seminars and Training, etc.
Register on these sites and get more access to
several networking events.
Create a Side Hustle from home
It takes discipline, time and skills to start up a side
business from home. Depends on the skill you have
acquired, working from home during the weekends is
a perfect time to utilize your skills without worrying
about anything.
During the week, you might have other things to
distract you, but the weekends are perfect for
achieving goals.
There are several side hustles that can help you earn
a good living from home, and it boils down to choice.

Since we are in the digital age, I recommend Online
Businesses for starters who have little capital to
invest. But remember, that you have to have the skill
to carry any of the services online. I always use to
weekends to source for clients to engage my writing
services on several freelancing sites, and this will
keep me occupied for the coming week and more
money to my account.
