Hello everyone, welcome to my blog today.
As a graduate fresh out of the university and being all hopeful, I stepped into the labor market hopeful and eager to start doing something to save up money for my clearance and other things holding me up in school.
I was always told that those who studied health related courses have the high tendency to get jobs easily in the health sector but not for someone who has not gotten their certificate and was job hunting with only senior Waec (western African examination council result it was a big struggle to get a good offer.
My first experience was at a laboratory where I went to because they needed a lab assistant and I printed my application letter and made a photocopy of my result and headed to the laboratory. I was asked to wait at the lobby to be attended too by the Managing director. I got there as early as 9am in the morning and I was not attended to till 4pm ,when I was asked to go and come back the next day only to be rejected because I studied public health and not medical laboratory.
So the next place I went to was a hospital where I applied to work as a receptionist , I also went there with my application and spent the whole day there and when the doctor called me in for the interview he asked some questions and I answered and he said I will only be paid 10000 naira per month I began to wonder how I would cope with 10000 naira a month, what would it do for me with the state of the economy i had to let it go.
After that I went to a fast food joint but I was met with another challenge there , I was required to work from 7am to 10pm.
It didn't balance with my schedule because I am living with my aged mom who needs my attention. At this point depression was the order of the day for me I totally gave up on finding a job. But I had to stay strong and hope things turn out better.
Early this year a good friend of mine told an offer came up in a new firm where she works and I was called up for an interview. And I got the job with a flexible time and manageable pay . And at the end everything.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
