[Sola 🇨🇦🇳🇬 @SolaTheAnalyst]

Eight years as a senior data analyst in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Landed in Canada 🇨🇦 and spent months getting rejected for customer service jobs. Apple Store. Call centres. Everything.

Then I walked into a cold calling interview. Loud music. Phones everywhere. They handed me a script.

Made my first cold call. The lady heard my accent and ended the call immediately.😭 (God abeg x 3)

I kept going. Got through the day and got the job offer on the spot.

35k a year. Five days in office. 8am starts.

I asked if that was the best they could do.

He said yes.

I took the offer letter home. Showed my wife.

She looked me in the eye and said that was below me.

That week I stopped applying sideways and went back to data.

Three months later I was hired as lead analyst in a Fortune 500 company.

Nigerian professionals living abroad, what was the moment that made you realize you needed to stop chasing survival jobs?

Trump must be mindful against decisions or mistakes that will lead to war crimes. I see a court case against Trump and I see the Iranians coming out to testify against Trump.

@express_global_ Please how do I get jobs after doing self sponsorship? Because it seems like it's almost impossible to get a Band 5 job nowadays!

Spread your wings, fly, and show your colors.

They would adjust. The good part is they will come bearing gifts.

Be 100% YOU.

Without passion, you can't start, and without consistency, you won't finish.
