If you just finished NYSC and you don’t have a job or know where to work, let me show you how to get hired as a product manager in 4 months.
If you also just left a toxic workplace with no backup job, or
You're bored of your current job and looking for a new challenge or
You just want to start product management
Read this.
This is exactly what I did:
1. Join a training academy: Just drop those youtube videos and random free courses. Find an academy that gives you structured learning, a community you can rely on, and direct access to seniors in the field you can network with and get jobs working in their company.
2. Make noise on LinkedIn: This is how I got a job as a mid-level PM while I was in university, even though I was entry level. I didn’t even go through any interview process. My LinkedIn page did that for me. People are watching - believe me. Think of LinkedIn as your presentation ground - if you had an assignment for the week, present it. Just like that, you’re posting once a week for the next 12 weeks.
3. Build a portfolio: My portfolio only had PRDs and roadmaps I had done for friends. Those small 10k / 20k gigs got me a 300k job. Turn your assignments into case studies in your portfolio.
Start doing those 3 and get yourself a job this 2026.
On Monday , I’ll share a killer portfolio template that gets the attention of hiring managers, even if you’re just starting out.
Don’t miss it🫵
Before the year runs out, I have a couple of items on my bucket list:
- Bite more than I can chew,
- Build Rome in one day,
- Reap where I didn't sow,
- Keep the sleeping dog awake.
NAHCO – The company is expanding beyond aviation into exportation, leveraging its haulage system expertise.
MTNN – Everybody needs airtime and data in Nigeria. Even though not everyone uses MTNN the majority do.
WAPCO – What can I say about this company? In March 2024, @AyeTheAnalyst and I conducted a thorough analysis of the 3 cement companies, & this company surprisingly performed well against Dangote Cement and BUA Cement. It has gone to do 4x since then. See the episode link: https://t.co/6mHaBGgJCI
@asemota Finally. Someone mentioned a job. Seen a couple of replies that kept mentioning start a business, own a business, forgetting business isn't for everyone
Logged into a website. And in the settings I can see my current password. Security 🚮
Maybe reversible hashing
Or they saved my password in plain text💀.
Or to local storage
And the site involves payment
🫠How will I trust them with my money if they can't handle password.
