Congratulations on finding this article! Too many lessons in the last seven years of my career sure cannot go to waste! I realize that the stunted growth or the complete lack of progress that many experience in their careers can be totally avoidable. I have also seen that many Christians short change themselves when they are unable to connect eternal life with their career after all scripture says “They that know their God shall be strong and do great exploits!”.
I would like to help you with that, being someone who had results following every principle and strategic steps I took to grow my career. Expect to see vivid examples of how God literally held my hand, taught me excellence and problem solving, gave me great wisdom and initiative to navigate difficult, murky waters. How he blessed me with divine relationships and taught me to nurture it. All these supported in accelerating my entire process and I cannot wait to share with you and hear your stories of how you changed the game of your entire career.
From 2016 – 2022, I worked with three organizations. One year was spent with a profitable apparel company run by an inspiring young woman, an Engineering graduate, unmarried at the time and brilliant in every way! Then another year in a growing pharmaceutical company with different lines of product that were in direct competition with patent brands. In 2018 and for the next 4 years, it was a large multinational corporation in Nigeria. First promotion came in 2020 and then another in 2021. In July 2022, a Regional Manager at the time, I upped and left for Canada with my beautiful husband! I have just resumed as an Associate Software Engineer in Canada after enacting a power career switch.
While I am documenting for your reading pleasure, the already eventful tales of my journey in Canada, I would like to quickly unpack all that transpired pre-Canada to the end that your heart is inspired and answers are provided to questions like…why am I not growing in my career? how do I navigate a career switch? is God interested in my career growth? Perhaps you are just an avid learner who wants to glean wisdom from the experience of others or you are just reading this for your pleasure, by all means join the train!
You know, what excites me the most about the career tales category of this blog is the richness of the experiences I would be sharing and the accompanying lesson. From the pain of a young graduate who wouldn’t find a Job for 7 months but kept every dream alive to getting ALL Jobs ever done from referrals and divine orchestration to rising above the challenges of working with a growing company to shinning through the size of a large organization like a city set on a hill! The experience of leaving a Job when mouth watering opportunities were coming my way is story worthy and then being a customer service rep for 3 months in Canada and finally the career switch.
Look, I am not mincing words when I say you are in for a most pleasurable ride with me. Leave me your email and subscribe to this blog so you don’t miss any of the action!.
