Instead of posting wins and losses of 2022,I decided to write about lessons learnt, because in 2022 everything was about winning and learning.
I find this important, because when one experiences something it is always different from reading it or even seeing others experience it.
I graduated this year but it didn't even make my Top 3 most wins and lessons learnt.
I will take the chance anyday to talk about how pharmacy school was hard,blah blah blah😂😭but yeah grace got me through,Alhamdulillah.As I said i sometimes forgot that it was in 2022,feels like ages ago.
While in school I was so engaged in other stuffs, that would have seemed not important or connected,but it paid off right after school.
And this is what I learnt specifically in 2023 period
1. "He or she can do it,try her/him" "yes we have worked before,will you like to jump on another project with us" these are statements that denotes RECOMMENDATION- it is the first on the list because it is the most important here.The effect of people recommending you is far greater than what your CV shows or what you boost you can do.I am particular about this because almost every Job or project i worked on was based off recommendation,it was shocking to me honestly because I didn't know it was that effective
2. "Yes I know someone who can do it" "I have a contact" "can you get me someone to do this" "do you know anyone that can do it" these statements denotes CIRCLE OR COMMUNITY OR FRIENDS OR CONNECTION - this one is familiar but people don't take it serious,well it is serious most of what one gets be it information, advantages ot update is based on the people you talk to everyday,who you hang out with and your connects.before Jobs gets announced people ask their employees or close contacts then later advertise,this means if you circle is into what you like you,updates will be sure 😃.
3. "What can you do" ,"have you worked on something like this before","let's see your previous work" these statements denotes SKILLS, EXPERIENCE -yes there's always someone saying get skills and me saying it might sound same,but take this from someone that studied a professional Course in the university Pharmacy, let's say i engaged in 10 Jobs and project this year, okay only 1 had to do with what certificate I got😲😭😂. Nowadays in most instances, people ask what you studied maybe after hiring you or are Even curious, except you het into the exact field of your studies which are minimal chances,then yes it doesn't really matter.They ask about skills, experiences,and all.
4."Hello Maimuna,you work at XY are you considering leaving or do you want to join us",you can get back this statement suggest CHANCE -it means and this one pained me the most😭😭You get more chances of employment when you are employed,unfair right?!😂 but it is what it is.
5.Last One is "I want to start this,or i have this idea and what to.......Nice idea so to start you will need 500,000Naira or so"😖😭...Yep money brings money, another unfair situation.Learnt this and it got me, because I always have a million ideas to business, project and anything,but imagination wouldn't fund it......
Summarily , There's something that is common in these lessons, Consistency, good Job and good people. Only consistency can get you certain skills,avenue to meet good people and a chance to do a good job,these things will open way for recommendations and you are good to go.
Growing up and seeing some of these things play out is mind-blowing,we are now players in it,we are responsible for ourselves and loved once.
Just he honest in anything you do,be reliable because this generation we are in, everyone cam code or have skills but we have lost basic human values that if you have those you get an upper hand.
For my 2022 Win, I got something Absolutely only the Almighty grants,for that I am grateful and hope our remaining years gets better .
Thank you for reading
Its cold ❄️ yeah ✌️
