Hey, I am Eny.

A few years ago, I was just like many people trying to figure things out online.

How do I start?
What skill should I learn?
How do people find remote jobs?
How do freelancers get clients?

I've spent time learning, making mistakes, asking questions, and finding answers.

TGIF!💃💃

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@iamveektoria_ But why would you be working and have no portfolio though?

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@Bubee78 Both, depends on the situation

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@exceleunnah254 The frustrating part is that qualified people can spend months applying while someone else gets the opportunity simply because of who they know.

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@AditiRajasthan You would be shocked to see that isn’t entirely true

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@ufoundloh Congratulations my darling 💐

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@CryptoDefiLord Keep trying. We will get there through God who strengthens us daily 💪

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@iam_biglad1 That setback can be so discouraging, especially when you’re genuinely trying to get ahead. It’s exhausting to keep making progress financially, only for rising costs to pull you right back.

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@vheeorji22 For real. Excel is really goated!

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

Training numbers are one thing, but what matters is whether people can turn those skills into actual income. We need transparent data on job placements, internships, freelance opportunities and businesses created through the programme. What happens after the certificates are issued?

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@Pejuola_a I don’t cry anymore. I just think about everything and hand over it to God all over again. Weytin my tears wan do?

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@CryptoDefiLord People often focus on the citizenship benefit and overlook the fact that you must already have a Green Card to enlist. It’s not a shortcut into the US, and military service comes with serious commitments.

@vheeorji22 Result is the best voice you could ever give yourself on this errand of success!

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

@jamisafari First, I’d take a moment to process it, then review my finances and update my CV and LinkedIn. After that, I’d start reaching out to people and applying strategically. I wouldn’t wait until I felt ready to start moving.

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

The confidence that comes from knowing you can learn something new and figure things out is underrated.

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

You can be grateful for a job and still admit that it isn’t paying you enough.

[Pejuola 🗣️ @Pejuola_a]

The best thing you can do for your career is learn how to resign gracefully. You don't need to drag the company or give a 3-page speech on your WhatsApp status. Just sign the exit papers, do your handover, and mind your business. The market is small.

[Eno-obong Akpan (Eny) @eny_codes]

Before submitting your next remote job application:

Read the entire job description.
Check the country restrictions.
Identify the key skills required.
Match your experience to those skills.
Follow the application instructions.
Check your documents before submitting.

Small details can affect your application. Don’t rush the process.

Imagine spending weeks applying for remote jobs, only to realise you’ve been applying for roles that don’t match the skills you’ve actually developed.

You know how to manage emails, organise schedules and handle customer enquiries, but you’re applying for data analyst roles because someone said they pay well.

Sometimes, the first step towards getting a remote job is not applying more. It’s getting clear about the work you can actually do.
