XFIRE’S DIARY: My dream career, my story

MY CAREER DIARY

with

XFIRE

I am a graduate of one of the public universities in Nigeria, and I currently work in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. I am sharing my experience under the pen name XFIRE

Hi readers, my friend from Nairaland, Jarus who is also the founder of this portal – which is the best career blog I have ever come across in Nigeria – asked me to join his team, seeing we share some commonalities, especially with regards to sharing our career experiences so as to guide others.

I will be sharing my experience and lessons on achieving the dream career of my choice amidst challenges. I will also share various ways you can enhance yourself and improve your skills. In the course of my write-up, I will touch on job hunting, good CV writing skills, aptitude test writing, interview skills, certifications, presentation skills, career progression, personal fulfillment and investment. I will also say a little about scholarship opportunities (both undergraduate and postgraduate) and job scams.

This is NOT a textbook theory on achieving a great career. Thus, don’t expect text book approaches to career issues. The thread doesn’t answer all career questions. It focuses on my peculiar experience and lessons learnt, including my modest career achievements, mistakes and obstacles. I will also refer to other people’s experiences in many cases.

I’m still an ambitious young man, who is looking forward to achieving more in life and progressing my career. I am not perfect. I just wanna share this so that we can all learn. I hope my story inspires many. This is because I know that true life stories inspire far more than motivational write-ups. Other people with varied experiences can also contribute through the comment button or send their articles to Jarus.

It promises to be interesting, detailed and elaborate.
