Thanks for joining us Under35CEO today. We’re so excited to have to here. Could you please tell us about yourself and what you do?
I am Suraj Oyewale, popularly known as Jarus in Nigeria’s Social Media space. I am a chartered accountant and a blogger. I am the CEO of Jarushub Career Portal.
What inspired you to start your career and mentorship blog, Jarushub.com?
I was inspired by the appreciation people give to my opinions on career and mentorship issues in the career section of Nairaland.com, Nigeria’s most popular forum, where I had been an active member since 2007. I was encouraged by the respect my views there commanded, so I decided to float my own portal where I will be sharing career information. Remember, not being the owner of Nairaland, I don’t have full control, hence the need to have my fully controlled platform. Even before Nairaland, I had actually enjoyed sharing information and experience with younger ones, far back my secondary school days.
