Finally signing off 📚💕🥂
Obafemi Awolowo University is not just a campus,it’s a home away from home. Forever grateful for the friendships made here 😩💃🏽💐
This year do this 5 things
1. Niche down
Find what you’re very good at and stick to it, still generalize low key, for instance, many people know me as a product designer but I’m also a brand designer, framer developer and sometimes I draw
2. Study daily to advance that skill and secure the certificate as well
I used to think certificates were not important but it is, still study for the knowledge not the certificate
3. Be consistent like a beggar
Show up like craxxy, be a busy body
4. Learn a new skill or start a business as side hustle
Don’t depend fully on tech, do something else, sell properties for people, push people’s brands, start a fish farm, sell something, do any legal thing
5. Connect, connect, connect
Many of your future opportunities would come from recommendations of people that find you ONLINE (when you show up and have mutual connections)
6. Go in search of jobs
Don’t wait for jobs to find you
- Do a pitch to a company you wish to work for
- Create a solution for their business
- Email that founder with substance not just your CV and portfolio
- Write to employees in organizations where you wish to work in and connect with them (In my previous role, we had a platform where we post jobs and only employees knew about it)
These are not guarantees that you’d land any opportunity this year but may help you land a good one in the future.
Remember to work on yourself and always ask yourself this question “Would I hire me?”
Discover your loopholes and work on it
To be sure of the right things to focus on while studying, go to Google jobs and search for your niche then check for the REQUIREMENTS to land that role.
Those are the major things to focus on in your career.
I wish you Gods blessings.
Creativity isn't about fancy designs or artistic abilities.
It's about achieving any goal with the knowledge and skill available to you.
Everyone is creative, but most people forget they have the power to achieve anything they want in life.
Fasting this Ramadan should feel a little different. Our brothers and sisters in Gaza are starving, their basic human rights are denied. When will this end? Oh Allah grant them victory!
We are excited about our community and strategic partnership with @oaueventz
We are excited about their contributions to BUIDLCON2.0.
@oaueventz is the premier is the premier event management brand in Obafemi Awolowo University and we look forward to delivering a value-driven event together.
Back in 2009, the goal was clear and the plan was simple. Study Law in OAU, graduate with a 2:1 at least, head straight to law school, do my magic there too, serve the fatherland and get married -all to be done by age 25. Oh! I was to do my masters immediately after NYSC too.
Ladies and gentlemen, I spent 7 years in Uni, was home for a year, then went to serve in 2018 and that was it. I got admitted to Law School in 2019 but ba kudi (no money) plus I had just toured Nigeria and needed rest so I didn’t go.
Here’s where I tell you it is of utmost importance that you have people around you who root for you, cheer you on and most importantly, want your progress.
I had friends, family and senior colleagues who kept pushing for me to finish the race I started; if not for myself, then for my parents. And after much push, I gave in.
Lo and behold! I got a very sweet job offer a couple of months after my admission and I almost gave law school up for the job 🤦🏽♀️.
See ehn, the story is long. My sojourn in law school wasn’t without its own hiccups. I mean, it got so bad I received a query but that’s been quashed now. So I’m good.
The journey that started in 2010 is coming to a beautiful point. It’s not the end. It’s the beginning of greater things.
With this, allow me to reintroduce myself.
I am Z.B Yusuf Esq
