How I got my first job after my first ever interview I had just been called to the bar and posted to Ogun State to serve Nigeria in 2017😀. • I was assigned to work in the Ministry of Justice, but I needed some extra source of income asides from the normal alawee at the time. • Someone I didn’t know contacted me and told me that the High Court Registrar was in need of a research assistant (RA) • I had never done the job of an RA before, but I was interested, so I called the registrar and my interview was scheduled. • On getting there, the Registrar told me the requirements of the job and asked me if it was something I could do. I boldly said “yes”, even if I had never done that kind of job before. • Lo & behold, they gave me the job👏🏽. One of things that they said made them give me the job was my confidence & belief in myself to try something I had never done. Interestingly, when I wrote my first research paper for them, they were so impressed. I was also impressed at my openness to learn & explore my abilities. • Through this job, I got access to top legal dignitaries I would never have known. The employer-employee relationship soon took me to other cities & the rest they say, is history😉. • My name is Lizah. I am a business analyst and branding strategist. I love to help businesses achieve their business goals by facilitating their digital transformation plans. • Kindly follow and connect with me for valuable tips on business, branding & personal development. • I am open to business analysts/branding partnerships & collaborations. Send a DM let’s talk. #becomealinkedinsuperstar #10dayschallenge #day2 #growwithLinkedin #linkedingrowth #brandingstrategist #personaldevelopment #lifecoach #digitaltransformation

One of my favorite parts of our work at PULA is when we look at something new. Unsurprising I guess for a founder. But I enjoy learning about how climate risks and commodity traders caused cocoa prices to explode this last year, how we could make livestock insurance more attractive to women herders in Northern Nigeria, or how AI (yes AI!) could make our yields measurements even faster for our rural field agents. If curiosity drives you, you excel at developing new ideas with and for our clients, and you thrive in high performance environments where we continuously raise the bar, apply to become our next Director of Strategy & Research.

Have you got what it takes ?

It was in 2019, we have just closed our 2 years project working with Lagos State Ministry of Health on a health system strengthen project and achieve Universal Health Coverage. Scouting for next job opportunity became exhausting but I used those period to continue my personal development. Months later, I was recommended for a new job which during the interview I was told not qualified but one skill I was learning at that period and sharing the story of my motivation to do s o during the interview grant me the job. So, I put to mind always the words of Jim Rohn, “It’s not what you are getting paid at the but what you are becoming on the job.” What does it mean to focus on what you are becoming on the job? It means, you learn to be more valuable (personal development) but how do you do that in your career path strategically to become irreplaceable? This is a path to get what you want. You just lack the knowledge, skill, and awareness to forge that path. You just lack creativity. Successful people aren’t worried because they understand what makes anyone successful. The highest-paid earners are the visionaries, strategists, and innovators of the world. The highest-paid earners are not those who work hard, nor smart, but leveraged. If you want to secure your future, you need the traits that allow you to succeed in any environment. These traits comprise The Irreplaceable Individual: Continue reading to learn about this irreplaceable traits.. https://lnkd.in/g2tUmXMq
