Hey Sisturr!
Welcome to July!
June was indeed a rollercoaster!
I had only one goal - To get a full-time remote role with an international company.
I applied for tons and tons of jobs, got lots of rejections, and attended a few interviews.
Eventually, I got an offer for the post of Sales & Marketing Executive with a Nigerian tech startup known as OhmsTech.
As much as this wasn't completely the dream, it's a good start I have accepted to gradually grow up from!
There were many days when I woke up and just cried.
There were many times I doubted my abilities and wondered if my dreams were valid at all!
But when I received a phone call from the interviewer, who said: "You're the best candidate that has applied for this role! Your background is very, very impressive for a 22-year-old."
I couldn't help but smile. (It was a pain-filled smile.)
A smile that reminded me of my many rejections!
A smile that reminded me of all the late nights I kept, learning about Social Media Marketing.
A smile that reminded me of the struggles I had trying to appear in Interviews, and do the little I can.
As much as this wasn't exactly what I wanted, I knew Ohmstech was going to give me an opportunity to grow in my career and increase my skills!
So, yeah!
Your girl is no longer jobless 💃💃💃💃💃
Any special event?
My sister and friend of a while now, Francesca invited me as a speaker in her webinar/book launch!
It was all shades of beautiful!
I had so much sharing my thoughts and experiences on Self-worth and self-esteem.
I no doubt also learned a lot from my co-speakers 😁
It was indeed a HOOGE success 😊
The testimonials that followed my speaking were just too mind-blowing 😩
Plans for this Month
I'm definitely not doing the whole fire brigade job hunting thing again 😞
I'll be challenging my energies over the 28 days in building something beautiful for OhmsTech!
How did I even forget?
I became the official social media manager for Face of the Nigerian Queens 2022!
So yeah…
I have these two tasks on my desk!
Aside from these two, I have to kickstart something really soon at the School of Digipreneurs.
I need to keep the community running!
I also need to clear all undone jobs off my notice board this month!
So help me God ✌️
In conclusion…
In June, we saw a lot of celebrity marriage crashes!
There was a lot of divorce and breakups, and someone would wonder…
Are marriages and romantic relationships really worth the hype?
Well, I don't know.
My advice is this -
Before loving someone else, love yourself first!
Learn to love you, admire you, find you, date you, appreciate you…
"You're too beautiful and smart to be used as a doormat and emotional dumping ground by anyone." ~ Chidera Ochuagu.
It doesn't matter how long you've been in a marriage/romantic relationship, if it's no longer fulfilling, please leave.
Abuse isn't just when you're being beaten up or physically violated!
Don't stay in that marriage 'cause you have a child with an abusive partner!
Learn to put you first… always!
Till the next time I write you,
Keep putting you first!
