Re: At What Age Did You Land Your First Job? by mydivinely: 2:13pm On Apr 29, 2021
AT 17 after my secondary school, worked 2 yrs then continued my ND although due to my Dedication and Handwork, i was permitted to be working anytime come for holidays, after my ND i was called for a Bank Job i toil for about three months spending transport to different states for Test, interview , Teleconferencing ,name them, finally i got it ( Went for Medical Test) but then i got a direct entry admission, IT WAS THE MOST CRITICAL DECISION I HAD TO TAKE BETWEEN THE TWO OPTIONS ,, I needed the Job as well as the Admission into University, I seek for advise and counseling, but i couldnt get a reasonable answer. i got more confused because Mr. A will advised go for Admission , Then Mr.B wil say Job is scarce go for the Job..
The Most critical part was that i was Kobo less being born in a poor home, i didnt even inform my parent about the Admission , i wanted to surprise them, but i was surprised instead, things didnt work as planed. i spend all my savings even borrowed money to attend Countless Interview in Access Bank.

Finally i got an advise which i was took A man asked me...
What is your Qualification....? my Answer OND
what is the Pay........ my Answer 70,000
what do they pay Degree Holders 120-130k ( With other Benefits like Loan, i had passion for business my plan was go they get loan and after 4yrs i must have established my business then resign i wouldn't want much stress , SELF EMPLOYMENT THE KEy)

He said to Me - You are still young if u can get a job of 70,000 with your OND, when you get your Degree, That same God that provided this will provide a better one..
I was Happy and sad, Happy that i got a satisfying response sad that i had NOTHING LEFT TO EVEN PAY ACCEPTANCE ,

i proceeded to school it was beyond my understanding God provided, but i suffered alot , i remember been sick for more than a week , no money to even buy drugs.
i graduated and travel out of my home town, after a month i got a job, of 25k after University ( Though Awaiting Service , Results wasnt ready)
after two months i got promotion and Salary of 40k, then i proceeded to service after service during the Pandemic , i search for a job none was forth coming , i later joined a SECURITY COMPANY, Pay again 25k. after 12days i got a Job of 70k during pandemic although Initial salary was 110k but due to Pandemic they was reduction.... although with same job i am able to start my own business and staff working for me,..
( NOW MY FORMER EMPLOYER WANTS ME BACK BUT PAY LESS THAN WHAT AM GETTING NOW, HE MADE ME A CONSULTANT EACH TIME HE NEEDS STAFF HE CALLS ME AND WHOEVER I SEND IS TAKEN ON THE CONDITION THAT I KNOW HIM/HER) ...THIS IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE...
hoping to Get a wife who is Passionate about business self employment remains the key....

When I was 12 my father used to pay me everyday i came to help him in his shop, i used to save atleast 20k in a month then. I made a lot of money then that I didn’t know what to use it for.

I landed my first cooperate job @ 23 during my 300level in the university as an office assistant to a house of rep member. The salary was 35k.

I got a federal job last year as I turned 30 years with salary of over 100k after all deductions.

I’m grateful to God but I’m still looking for a better opportunity elsewhere. I won’t stop untill I start taking home at least 500k every month.

I got my first job at the age of 17 in achi builder immediately I finished my o level. The job description was to mould paving stones and Adex roofing materials. The work is a real bricklayers job where u have to mix cements with sands and some other things. The first day was so funny that my manager laughed at the way I was holding a spade, he said I held the spade as if I was holding a biro, that earned me the name Alakowe. The salary then was #3000 for a month in the year 1999/2000.

I managed to work for just 3 days I had to japa cos I cannot come and die due to the strenuous nature of the job.

When d month ended, my manager sent #500 naira to me as my pay for d 3days.

Immediately I collected the money, I went to buy a local ekuke puppy for #350. which I began to nurtured.

After some months, I begin to made money from the proceed of puppies sold from my dog before I gained admission.

Most people complain about not having a job mine while they lack the all it takes to have a job.
Last week, I saw an advert and instead of applicants to apply the end up shouting "I am interested". Well, you don't expect the management to go and apply for you.
So today, we will be answering the question "AT WHAT AGE DID YOU LAND YOUR FIRST JOB?". You can actually share your story to encourage those still searching for a job.
