I came across vaccancy posts for "Due Process and Compliance Officer' several times in the past but never considered who the prospective employers are searching for.
When I felt concerned to finout who are qualified I was startled by my findings.
I'm coming from a legal background with some trainings and experiences. With that mindset I was expecting lofty academic and corporate status qualifications.
Would it shock you to know that there's no particular qualificatons attached to that vaccancy?
One of the prospective employers simply wanted someone who can ensure that the company complies
with government requirements and other external regullatory agencies.
For instance a person who has considerable amount of information about Nigerian Ports Authority by virtue of previous employments or services may be considered for that vaccancy in Import/Export company.
Another example could be someone who had considerable experiences with electricity generating company could be considered for that vaccancy in a company like EEDC, KEDC etc
The Nigerian Data Protection Act which just t came into effect made provision for Data Protection Officer (DPO)… For the qualifications of a DPO one would have thought that formal academic or specific skills were necessary, but the Act holds a contrary view. Just departmental knowledge and experience are enough to land you the job.
But hey, don't walk away with that simple definition hook, line and sinker.
Some vaccancies demand specific skills like having engineering, medical, baking and finance degree. In some cases you're required to be experienced and analytical.
Don't forget that some employers use different names for the post; like Enforcement Officer. So whenever you see those vaccancies don't consider yourself out until you've gone through properly.
While I thank you for your time, I welcome your comments and responses.
