This year has been full of ups and down,I believe it all for a reason so I try not to keep whatever I'm going through in mind and I pray to God for the strength to overcome every circumstance. Securing a new job has been my resolution since 2023 because i have been jobless for two years. Before I gave birth to my little boy I wasn't working I didn't feel the heat until he clocked one and I started getting tired of staying at home and I wanted a job so bad.
Last year my brother introduced me to hive and I was glad I had something I'm doing at least, I feel better in a way but I still see the need to get a job.
I prayed and hope on God for a job and fortunately for me I got one in December and lucky for me I don't go to work everyday it based on shift. It is wasn't what i wanted, there salary is small but accepted it because It's not an everyday job and I was motivated to start from somewhere. As time goes on, some issue came up where I was working and I started to blame myself for those issues. I work has a receptionist, and i gave a customer the key to the room without making payment due to the bank network issue he had that night. He when out and he said he was going to come back that night but unfortunately he left. Thank God we do record there information in a book that was what save me that day. I called and called, I couldn't sleep, I was panicking and worried because I will be blamed and i was the one in charge and I will have to pay the money if the customer did not come back to make the payment.
After all the calls and insult he later sent the money and I vowed not to do that kind of mistake again while working there and anyway I find myself. I faced a lot of challenges while working as a receptionist most especially from the customers and my colleagues when they don't come to work I always fill up for them. There was a day I helped a lady in charge of the bar to sell because she wasn't around and I had no choice than to help her. That day was unpleasant,we had a lot of customers and I ended up owing a debt for not selling at the given price which I don't know. I can't just write down everything I faced and endure while working has receptionist but it all part of experience. Another thing is their mode of payment, they dont pay us at the end of the month. Most time is always the second week of the next month we get paid and that wasn't ok for me, so I had to make the decision to resign. I resigned in June and I started applying for job again.
Job hunting is not easy in Nigeria. I have just been applying and praying to God to get a better job that has been my number one goal. Not just a job this time a good one that pays. I know it not all about money but i feel working without been paid a good salary is not good enough for me as a bsc holder. I haven't achieved my goals but I'm sure I will by God's grace.
2025 for me is a mixture of Good and bad but I'm still hopeful that God will come through for me and I will achieve my goal and my new year resolution before the end of this year.
