Hi, I am Lady Bee: a wife (met my husband here, story for another day in another room !), mother, teacher, virtual assistant (both home and abroad), life coach, broadcaster(OAP), biographer, freelancer, content writer, community developer, data scientist and artificial intelligence enthusiast.

I started out early by going to school like everyone and I did studied a course of my choice; looking back now, I discovered that the Nigerian-System needs us all to make it better. MY bitter-sweet job hunt experience were elucidated below with lessons extracted:

1. Survival:
The first thing you need to do is to get the earliest job that will put food on your table, have a time frame in mind and work hard towards savings. This job should be within your locality so as to eliminate the cost of transportation or you relocate near your office.

Shared apartment is needed at this level (I shared accommodation with an aunt whom I was responsible to; she even screened my suitors before endorsing MY NAIRALAND HUBBY; !).

2. Development:
I worked in this survival mode for 5 years (patience is the key), but I did so many trainings (free and paid) and that is why I can tell you that I am into so many things. I got married and we had a son , things were obviously becoming better till my husband's investments CRASHED (story for another day , he came back stronger and better anyways )!

I kept on developing myself and here I am today... every year I make sure that I get trained on at least a thing (EVEN IN THIS COVID -19 YEAR !).


3. Lunching Out:
Create a job (solve at least a problem in the society)

This level is not for cowards, but strong willed individuals; lunch out to make your dreams come true; leverage on your contacts during your developmental phase, have mentors who have similar goals as yours and have made a level of achievement ahead of yours.

Service rendering is key: I started virtual assistance job free of charge and I can tell you that during the LOCKDOWN, I earned over 100k assisting friends and family with clerical jobs from my small apartment.


4. Do not give up, THE SUN SHALL SOON SHINE!

I am ladybee307 (felt like saying " I AM James bond 007" )

Do have a fulfilling 2021

That is my ambition also, to work for some years then venture into my own business

Nice one but ur design is not attractive... Dm let me help u with design.... But there's payment attached

Your design is poor and the writing is congested. Please work on it.

It is well

I can see different fonts in the writings

OP... wetin you come dey try prove? Say you don make am for life, abi?

This is sparogatively a misleading headline!
It is more of a motivational session than an experience recount.

Anyways, I don't support the "Survival" point you made, on picking any available job.
...Although it is distantly catchy, it is a wrong approach. Most times if one does, it may tie them down and limit their chances of searching for better prospects. Some jobs might be so engaging and tiresome that one basically has no time or energy for another thing.

Also, although I canvass for a shrewd lifestyle, I am not an advocate of stringent savings anymore. The Naira is basically valueless these days. So saving up¿
... I'm not sure about that.

Anyways, as everyman's fingerprint is different so is their destiny.
Nice write tho.

I did not see job hunting here o.
If you have not searched for job in Nigeria to the extent that your shoe gets dusty and shows excess friction, sorry you have not hunted.

Which kind design be this for God sake

A

God bless Nigeria. Press 2 to copy this tune...

Have you heard of Abeg App?

It lets you send/receive money to/from friends. You can send even 10 Naira.


You can learn more about the App here

I just read rubbish


seems like an advert thread

how much did you pay Seun for this?

Ok, I will inform Bihari.

Nice one I love the enthusiasm

ok

So you mean you got paid for rendering a free service?

Noted

Lol. See haters up there. They can't appreciate her for the advice. It's the graphic design they are complaining about. Shey she tell u na that she's a graphic designer? Anyone can use any free site online to make a graphic design. He fine, he no fine, she's not here to please anyone.

I cannot categorically say that I'm in any of the stages you listed. At least for now.

Okay.....

Work on ur design dear,it will help u a lot

Okay
