Eight years as a senior data analyst in Nigeria 🇳🇬 Landed in Canada 🇨🇦 and spent months getting rejected for customer service jobs. Apple Store. Call centres. Everything. Then I walked into a cold calling interview. Loud music. Phones everywhere. They handed me a script. Made my first cold call. The lady heard my accent and ended the call immediately.😭 (God abeg x 3) I kept going. Got through the day and got the job offer on the spot. 35k a year. Five days in office. 8am starts. I asked if that was the best they could do. He said yes. I took the offer letter home. Showed my wife. She looked me in the eye and said that was below me. That week I stopped applying sideways and went back to data. Three months later I was hired as lead analyst in a Fortune 500 company. Nigerian professionals living abroad, what was the moment that made you realize you needed to stop chasing survival jobs?
