MY FIRST JOB EXPERIENCE
For an average 27 year old Nigerian lady, getting a well-paying job, a
good house to live in and a well-to-do husband are the major goals.
Investment and acquiring an asset is usually on the last rung of the
ladder.
Just before I met Allan Bukusi, the author of ‘My first job: How to
prosper in Employment’, I was a resentful employee; an administrative
officer at my first job that paid about 50,000 Naira (137USD); an amount
I believed could not take care of my personal needs. I knew I wasn’t
ready to stay there for long. However, after reading the book gifted to
me by the author himself in 2016, I had a transformed mindset on
employment and the potential of creating wealth as an employee.
Some of
the key concepts highlighted in the book are milking the opportunity in a
current employment: personal development and investment while working. I
am excited to say that while at the initially dissatisfied employment, I
took quite a number of online courses as a form of personal development
and with savings from my meagre income, I acquired a piece of land as
an investment. I made the best opportunity to prosper at my first
employment; and I’m still working in that line.
I strongly recommend
this book to all age categories especially young graduates who seem
unprepared for the world of employment.
