Whether the location of the job is specified or not

Some vacancies explicitly specify the town, city or state that the job is based. Only when the specific location of the job is mentioned in the vacancy text should it be included in the title. Study the examples in the previous scenarios to understand where to use and where not to include the job location in the title.


When new graduates are required

Special attention should be paid to scenarios where new graduates without experience are being required. For this case, the word “Graduate” or “Fresh Graduate” must be included in the title.

Fresh graduates refer to NYSC or University graduates without experience. Management Trainee jobs, NYSC Jobs, Sales and Marketing jobs often fall into the Fresh Graduate category.

OND, HND, Trade Test, C&G etc do not fall into the Fresh Graduate category because these are Polytechnic Graduates so when such vacancies occur without the experience requirement, you are not to use Fresh Graduate. Rather for the title, the qualification e.g. OND, HND can be used. However, you may still choose to include the word “Graduate” in the title at your discretion, especially if the title is short.

Please note that Bachelor’s Degrees e.g. BSc, B.Eng, BA etc are University Degrees but OND, HND etc are not. See appendix for more details on qualifications and their classes.
