Legit.ng contacted the lady who eventually secured employment three years after her graduation from the university to share insights on the story, and she revealed many interesting details.
When asked to introduce herself, she had this to say:
“I’m Omolana Precious Titilope from Kaduna State. I will be 27 this year. I am the second out of four children. I graduated from the Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State.”
After mentioning her name and the institution she graduated from, the young lady spoke about her trying times when she had no job.
Ms Titi had this to say:
“I was doing all sorts of things during those three years. I registered my business in February 2023. I was selling handmade slippers and sandals, but I had a supplier who helped me because I didn’t know how to make them then. Along the line, I learnt how to make them.”
“Handmade sales were not coming in regularly, so my eggs business and drinks business were sustaining me because I was really selling those.”
“I also started selling pant trousers as an addition, but pant trousers and handmade products have been my business since then.”
After sharing her journey, the Kwara polytechnic graduate explained in detail how she got her new job.
Ms Precious shared:
“I saw a link on LinkedIn last December, so I joined the group. You have to pay to get a good job there, but there are some free ones. I was applying for the free ones that matched my course of study, Business Administration. I also had several job seeking apps.”
“I saw a graduate trainee position and applied a few days before Christmas. I was called for an interview on the 22nd, so I went. I did the interview and left.”
“I was in Lagos at that time because I went to visit my parents for the holiday.”
“I was called on the 14th of January while on my way back to Kwara and asked if I could resume the next Monday.”
“I was sent an offer letter on the 20th of January and told to resume as an HR assistant.”
Speaking about how she felt when she got the job offer after years of searching, she said:
“I screamed mummy 😂😂😂😂. I knelt down with my mom and started praising God. Hold God ooh, I won’t lie. I held God.”
“If you ask me how I survived, I will say it is God. Let them hold on to God and not give up.”
Finally, she shared advice for job seekers:
“Let them keep sending the mails.”
“They should not think too much about how big the salary is.”
