How Millennials Can Thrive in the Workplace

Jibril Lawal2020-11-26T16:13:36+00:00

Millennials still have a bad reputation in the workplace, and it can feel like as a Millennial you have to work even harder to gain respect. The truth is that respect is never given - it’s earned. This article is not going to be centred around how millennials are awful at work or about how they do a terrible job, millennials are not awful and how do I know this? I am a millennial. It is easy for millennials to be seen as incapable leaders because of their youth and lack of experience by older colleagues. I remember my first job, [...]

Toju2020-11-27T09:37:56+00:00

We had a tweet chat back in August with Tunde Omotoye and he shared so many gems and I genuinely could not keep it just on Twitter as I know a lot of you don’t use Twitter often and this is knowledge I believe is valuable for everyone. INTRODUCTION Hey everyone, for our tweet chat this evening we have @TundeTASH on board, he’s a Certified HR Professional, a Senior Business Operations Analyst and avid Storyteller(pretty sure you’ve read his threads).

Personal Hygiene- Interviews/Workplace

Toju2020-11-27T10:32:00+00:00

Often, we underestimate how personal hygiene can affect the quality of our lives and interactions with other people. You can’t get away with just being smart or brilliant, you have to be able to portray yourself in an amazing light, you have to put yourself together and actually be someone people genuinely want to be around. Let me give this example, back in university, I had this classmate I would call him Ugwu, this boy was extremely brilliant, he had the highest grades but the body odour he emitted was a killer, like it could choke you to death (okay I’m [...]

Surviving Your First Week At Work

Toju2020-11-27T12:01:43+00:00

Success during week one is about balance: you want to make great first impressions, but you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself to get everything right. The goal is to learn about your new workplace and feel out your place in that ecosystem. In the first week: Introduce yourself, relentlessly. Studies have shown that anxiety in new situations can come in part from not feeling confident in how to introduce ourselves. It’s a natural feeling — when you’re new, you don’t necessarily want to call attention to yourself. But in the first days of a new job, you want your enthusiasm [...]

Getting Defrauded and Unemployment in Nigeria

Toju2020-11-27T14:16:26+00:00

In Nigeria, there is evidently an unemployment epidemic. What does unemployment denote? Economic issues; the lack of sustainable income leads to poverty, a decline in living standards, spending power and falling into debt. There are also health issues which include tension, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and strain on the body and depression. Unemployment is extremely agonizing and exhausting. Now, what is the solution to unemployment? Employment right? Pretty easy. You don’t have a job, then go out and get a job. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, it is not so easy especially if you do not know the top-shots or your daddy doesn’t [...]
