On a very good Sunday morning after Sunday school in Church, someone that I don't even know approached me.

Him: Young man, good morning.
Me: good morning Sir
Him: My daughter said she likes the way you teach her class in Sunday school and she also informed me that you just finished service.
Me: Ha! Thank you Sir.
Him: I understand you studied xyz, would you mind if I get you a place to start off your career?

Me: I don't mind Sir, I will be very grateful Sir
Him: Okay, *brought out a card from his wallet* Please send your CV to that email on the card.
Me: Okay Sir.

I got home after service and forwarded my CV as instructed, fast-forward to Wednesday, received a call from a lady that I have been invited for a chat with some people, didn't even tell me the name of the Company or what the chats was all about, just said she would send me the address after the call.
Went there on Friday, the rest they say is history.
This was 3 months or so after POP.

Daddy Eunice, God bless you wherever you are and continue to keep you safe Sir.

My advice for Young folks is learn digital skills and start free lancing, the sky is your limit.

I am a health professional earning little less than #200k per month, my friend dropped out, learn Web designing and he is making at least a million per month on upwork. The money in his account is at least 10 times my own.

Digital skills is the way.

#50k, #100k work per month, won't make you comfortable, it will just make you not beg to eat.

hey bro thanks I am interested in learning any of the listed skill plz can I have your contact ...thanks

My dad sent me to his friend to tell him I want to work for him. I was still serving. I think I finished serving July 2011 and resumed August with very comprehensive pay and retirement plan.

Listen very well, the best way to get a Job is to get engaged. Start with anything even if its free service you offer, but make sure what you are doing won't consume all your time to extent that you won't be able to attend interviews, or upgrade yourself. Note many good jobs outside there are secured base on refferral, just mingle with those that can benefit you or posibbly open door for opportunity. I got my current job through a company i worked for as ad-hoc interviewer, the company we interview request for our service

If you are serious. Join this group on tg.
https:///LaptopLaivstyle

Make sure you dedicate a good number of hours daily to eating the materials you will find there.

That group has been a blessing to me.

Best of luck.
