Topic: Versatility is in high demand. (Read 167 times)

OP naso the country Don be oh, the government tax choke well well. Plenty businesses no fit meet up aswear, so if them go employ you, you need do plenty job in many areas for the company,  if you be sweeper you need sabi type and make online transaction,  bcos dem no fit employ office assistant when a cleaner dey to avoid cost.  E good to have many skills wey you get passion for, no be to go learn weytin u nor fit give time.

OP any body that depends on one particular skill in this modern day is really digging his grave because as things are in the country now it requires people to be skilled in different things so that if one side doesn't work at a time you can switch over to the other skill you have and use it to sustain yourself. There even some works that requires versatility so if you ain't skilled in the other aspect you may not be hired.

    The situation for the country now be say everybody gats find possible way survive through the economic  challenge oooo, office work dey legit no doubt same stlll go  with all this online hustle too. No be by one work person gats survive with ooo. There gats be main hustle and side hustle too. This forum also Dey bring opportunities for most of us here too way be say we day use am as one of our hustle too. Person no gats day idle because oyibo talk say “an idle man is a devil workshop”
   The best thing to do is to gain as much skills as possible and implement them gradually. You can't have knowledge in just one area alone and be blank in others, yes there'd be a main field of study but it'll be much better to back it up with background fields. Situations fit dey wey go need some kain skills and e no go make sense if the space jus dey blank, make we try find relevance everywhere we go. Develop yourself and build up in diverse areas, time go come where all these areas go dey of essence, normals the more the labour, the more the income generated, the only loss go be the extra stress wey dey attached to the hustle.

Na true you talk, di way wey di private sector de take use people no good at all, dem go make sure say dem drain every energy and knowledge wey dem workers get and underpay dem. Unemployment follow de cause all dis things, because plenty people de pursue few jobs, so di companies sef go wan capitalize on am to let people to work like elephant and pay them peanut. As you de reject work because of poor salary, na for your face anoda person wey qualify like you go take am sharparly.

E de important to get one skill join the one wey you get, so you fit to use am get alternative source of income. Person wey get handwork no necessarily need to work for company, im fit establish himself de earn from the talent.

I agree to this, because of high cost of maintenance and operation many firm has decided to employ people that can fit in different work capacity, but we have to be sincere to ourselves, there us know how you will be good at all things at the same time, I don't think that's possible, life is a step at a time no matter how good you seem to be, you will only be good at a particular field, you can't exceed that, the only thing that different you from competitors is how good you are in particular stuff, versatility must times put people into major problem because of ignorance, dont feel like a guru to entice people when you know that you are not, always be good at what you don at all time in other for you to be remarkable.

We as humans needs to be versatile and have a creative mindset. But the fact still remain that no matter how smart we are, we can no cheat nature. What you can do is what you can do, what you can't do, you can't do it. Jus like the compearism of mathematics and physics you explain. I think you choose maths over physics because you find it easier Dan physics. And you can't change that fact.

You can only Excel in what you are good at. Despite we talk about being versatile, I think we also need to consider things that will not be useful to us. Some people's end up not achieving their goals, due to multiple works without focus. I think focusing on one particular thing makes you stand out and you will be respected for that. Not some sort of "jack of all trade master of none" and most of this is caused by lack of employment in the country. Sometimes we always think we know everything. Sometimes we the achitecture of our problems because we Lack focus. We think knowledge is by force and can achieve it by all means. Most collapse building and damage property is cause as a result of " I can do it" which dey don't know how to. Paraventure it might just be what dey see for the first time, and they jumped into conclusion and even go to the extent of doing it derby destroying some one's property due to ignorance.

What you said is true but all am saying is that, when trying to be creative or versatile let us not jump into everything because we need money otherwise you'll get into trouble.

I think I agree with statement based on the recent economic instability in in Nigeria today it is very necessary for you to be versatile and creative in everything you do and also be open to learning new thing because if look at the state of things now you will discover that there is a paradigm shift in the way goods and services are being organized in today's world to not only satisfy customer's satisfaction but also employers discretion.

Although na true wey you talk and e still good make person dey verse but this dey always happen for private setting mostly. Na dem dey like cut down cost and underpay teachers while dem don collect better money from parents.

This and more follow for wetin make our country standard dey fall every day, when dem go carry 7 people work give one person na how the person want take do him best on top small cash. No professionalism for private establishment.

Yeah what you actually said is true because nowadays people or industrial companies are no longer looking for people that has only one profession however they go for someone that could be very versatile in times of being good on different areas so that in case a department needs more manpower the person could easily navigate very well without challenge, although I'm not disputing that fact that having one profession cannot be employed but my point is having different skills will be an added advantage to be easily accepted by any company or sector.

OP just like you said most schools are know longer accepting teachers who only specialized on a particular subject because they need someone that can teach several subjects in case the need arises so that they could easily improvise.

As e don be say every one de complain say de country hard, e wise make person strategize himself on  how him go take survive for the hard economy. Most companies and businesses De look for individual when sabi utilize the limited resource when de get so that them fit cut down cost and get enough returns at the end of the day. E get one time I been go find teaching work for one school like that, normally I sabi teach maths welll well but I no too sabi physics like that, so when de start to de interview me, De asked me to teach them maths first and I taught them that one very well, the next thing de tell me be say make I teach them physics say them de find person when fit handle the two courses so that them no go employ separate teachers de pay them separately and say dem wan cut down on their expenses. To cut The long story short,  dem finally no take me because I no meet up with their standard.

This one go make you know say competition de choke for so many sectors and for you to be relevant, you need to be highly creative, skilled, versatile, industrious and posses quality that will distinguish you from the crowd. And this na the reason why you need to be smart at whatever you are doing and in whatever environment you find yourself so that whoever needs your service will see you as a serious advantage to his firm or company and wouldn't want to loose you for any reason.
