Hello Nairalanders,
If you’re in cybersecurity, IT, or tech and struggling to get interview callbacks despite having real skills and certifications, your CV might be the problem.

I’ve worked with cybersecurity analysts, cloud engineers, and tech professionals to rewrite CVs that:
✅ Pass ATS screening systems
✅ Properly showcase certifications (Cisco, CompTIA, etc.)
✅ Highlight hands-on projects and labs, even self-directed ones
✅ Position you competitively for entry-level and senior roles alike

Most tech professionals undersell themselves on paper because they don’t know how to translate technical skills into language recruiters actually search for.

What I offer:
∙ Professional CV rewrite & design
∙ ATS optimization
∙ LinkedIn profile optimization
∙ 3 design variants — Word & PDF

Pricing:
🇳🇬 Generic CV — ₦5,000
🇳🇬 Cybersecurity/Tech/Professional CV — ₦10,000
🌍 International — $25

Drop your cert or target role below and I’ll tell you one thing recruiters look for in that field.

Hello Nairalanders,
I’m Lucky Joseph, author of When Survival Becomes A Routine.
I’m excited to share that my second novel, “Before the Dust Settles,” is now available on Selar.
It’s a literary fiction novel set during the northeastern Nigeria insurgency, following Andrew Joseph, a photojournalist documenting war, loss, and truth in a region the world forgot. It’s a story about what survival costs, and what truth demands of the people who chase it.
Written in close third person with sparse, deliberate prose, this book took real time and depth to put together — and I’m proud of how it turned out.
If you enjoy literary fiction with weight and substance, I’d love for you to check it out.

Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts after reading.

Hello Nairalanders,
I’m Lucky Joseph, and I recently published my debut novella titled “When Survival Becomes A Routine.”
It’s a story that explores what it really means to survive in a country where survival itself becomes a daily routine — the small battles, the quiet resilience, the moments most of us never talk about but all of us understand.
I wrote this because I wanted to capture something true about the Nigerian experience — not the version we perform for others, but the one we live through every day.
You can read sample chapters for free on Wattpad, and get the full novella on Selar for ₦1,500.
If you’ve ever felt like life in Nigeria is one long test of endurance, this story might speak to you.

Good day, Nairalanders.

I recently published my first novella titled When Survival Becomes A Routine.

It follows the story of a young man who leaves home to attend university in Lagos, only to discover that life is far more complicated than he imagined. Between financial struggles, friendship, love, disappointment, and the daily pressure of survival, he learns that sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t succeeding—it’s simply keeping going.

This isn’t a story about superheroes or overnight success.

It’s a story about ordinary people trying to find their place in the world.

If you’ve ever:
• Struggled financially
• Felt lost about your future
• Had friendships that shaped your life
• Wondered if things would ever get better

You may find something familiar in this story.

Book Title: When Survival Becomes A Routine

Short Blurb:

Nature left home at eighteen with a backpack, three siblings watching from the doorway, and a father who was already somewhere else.

Lagos was supposed to be the beginning. Susumu University was supposed to be the door that changed everything.

But doors require fees, and fees require a father who shows up.

When Survival Becomes A Routine is a raw Nigerian coming-of-age story about friendship, love, loss, and what it truly means to keep going when the road offers nothing but itself.

Thank you. 🙏📖

Hello everyone,

I recently published a literary fiction novel titled Before the Dust Settles.

The story is set in northeastern Nigeria during the insurgency and follows a Lagos photojournalist who travels north expecting just another assignment, only to confront realities that begin to change how he sees the country, journalism, and himself.

It’s a quiet, emotional novel focused on:
• displacement and survival
• journalism and ethics
• memory and grief
• the human stories behind statistics
• northern Nigeria during conflict

I tried to write it in a reflective and realistic way rather than making it sensational or overly dramatic.

If you enjoy African literature, socially conscious fiction, or character-driven novels, you might connect with it.

The book is available now on Selar. https://selar.com/6jzm7d8827

Thank you to anyone who checks it out or shares feedback.

Quick tip for anyone preparing for job applications — remove the ‘Objective’ section from your CV. Recruiters don’t read it. Replace it with a strong 3-line Professional Summary that highlights your experience and what you bring to the role. This one change alone makes your CV look more professional. Drop your target role below and I’ll give you a free tip specific to your industry.

Quick tip for anyone job hunting — the most common CV mistake I see is listing duties instead of achievements. Recruiters want to know what you accomplished, not just what your job description said. Happy to review yours for free — just drop your target role below.

If you’ve been applying and not getting replies, your CV might be the issue.
I just helped someone restructure theirs and it looks much stronger now.

I’m available to help.
