1. Nigerian man bags job with Government of Alberta
A Nigerian man announced his new role as a policy advisor with the Government of Alberta, Canada, years after relocating to the country.
The achievement was a huge milestone for the individual, who had moved to Canada to pursue higher education on a scholarship.
Identified as Afees Agboola on LinkedIn, he explained that he had intentionally delayed announcing the job for several weeks.
According to Agboola, the timing of the announcement was deliberate, coinciding with the day of the week he had left Nigeria for Canada three years ago.
Agboola, a recipient of the Mastercard Foundation scholarship, had studied at McGill University in Canada.
He had begun his new role two weeks prior to the announcement, taking time to settle into the work environment and understand the requirements of his position before sharing the news.
The decision to delay the announcement was based on several factors, including the need to familiarise himself with the job and his colleagues.
Agboola noted that everything related to the job had occurred on Fridays, from the interview to the final confirmation, which led him to choose a Friday for the announcement.
His LinkedIn post read in part:
"UPDATE: I am happy to announce that I have started a new job as a Policy Advisor with the Government of Alberta (GoA). I actually started working two weeks ago but I delayed this announcement for four reasons: First, I needed time to absorb into the work environment, connect with my colleagues and fully understand the dynamics of my position. You will agree with me that, you might tick all boxes in the JD but the reality on the job might be slightly different. So, it will be foolhardy making announcements when you don’t even have a clue of what you’re going to be do doing on the job. (pun intended).
"The second reason is that everything concerning this job happened on Fridays. From the interview on Friday, July 5th to the first HR contact on July 19th to the final confirmation on August 2nd and receiving the offer on August 9th. So, I thought, “Why not? Make the announcement on a Friday. Lastly, I delayed this announcement so it coincides exactly with the day I left Nigeria for Canada three years ago to pursue a master’s degree on the bills of the Mastercard Foundation."
2. Canada-based lady gets good job, 2 cars
