She mentioned that whenever the people who are supposed to give her a job see her CV, they begin asking questions about something they noticed in it, which some of them even pointed out.

In her TikTok video, she said in part:

"This is actually my 15th interview since I finished NYSC, but why am I crying? All the interviews I’ve gone to, they keep telling me they cannot pay me, they cannot hire me. Why?"
"It’s not because I’m not fit for the job. It’s because immediately they see my CV, they’re like, 'How will you be looking for work if you serve in one of the highest media stations?'"

The employers noticed that she had worked in many big organizations in Nigeria and told her they couldn’t hire her because they couldn’t match the pay her experience deserved, based on the roles and companies listed on her CV.

"I’ll be like, 'Everybody has their own destiny.' They say no. Apart from destiny, I know a lot of anchors, reporters, and broadcasters, what happened to them?"

She mentioned that she recently met a woman at a job location during an interview, and the woman said something unexpected after seeing her CV.

She explained:

"This is the 5th woman I’m meeting right now. She told me that I’m not supposed to be looking for work because I’m versatile. I even told her I can cook and I’m into pastries, so why would I be looking for work? I explained that I need capital to start somewhere."
"My problem isn’t that they don’t want to give me work; it’s that sometimes they can’t pay me. I said, 'Okay, I’ll manage 200k as a graduate,' but sometimes they can’t even pay me that, the only amount they can pay is below 100k."
