I’m taking Twitter seriously from now on. I’ve realized I have a lot of knowledge and insights to share. No more hoarding.

Please get addicted to believing you will get a better job.

Where I worked part-time during my masters didn't have license to sponsor anyone to stay back in the country. I worked mainly on weekends with little to no supervision, so I could do whatever I liked and once my hours were complete, I would go home and still get paid but I didn't. I worked judiciously, as if I was being monitored, I was honest and straight forward at all times and when my student visa was almost up, my boss called me and said they want to sponsor me, I never asked them oooh. He applied for the license to sponsor, was denied the first time and he re-applied again just for me and got it the second time. He will always tell me, “You changed my life by coming into this work place” and it's down to my core values and belief!!!! YOU CAN’T BE A CHRISTIAN WITHOUT VALUES AND MORALS!!!!

Before calling someone a “low performer,” there are some difficult questions you should ask yourself as an HR or Superior; Did they know what good performance looked like? Were the expectations clear, realistic, and properly communicated? Did anyone give them feedback before the issue became impossible to ignore? Were they given the tools, support, and authority to do the job? The "low performer" label is sometimes less about the employee and more about everything the organisation failed to provide.

If you do not genuinely love your job, it will be difficult to deliver excellently.

✅ WRONG FILE FORMAT Use a clean PDF unless the job description requests another format. Avoid unusual file types, heavily designed templates, or files difficult for recruiters and ATS systems to read. Your CV should be easy to open and scan. Keep it simple. ✅ GENERIC CV Don’t send same CV to every employer. Your CV should reflect the role you’re applying for, with relevant keywords. A generic CV makes it harder to see your fit. Tailor it. ✅ WEAK PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY Don’t start with a vague career objective. Avoid vague statements like: “Hardworking individual seeking a challenging opportunity.” This tells the recruiter little about your professional value. State your role, skills, experience, and the value you bring. Keep it specific. ✅ TOO MANY PERSONAL DETAILS Your CV is a professional document, so you usually don’t need marital status, date of birth, full address, religion, or other personal information. Focus on information that helps assess qualifications. Leave unnecessary details out. ✅ UNQUANTIFIED EXPERIENCE Don’t only list your responsibilities. Show what you achieved. Instead of: “Managed customer enquiries.” Use: “Handled 50+ customer enquiries weekly while maintaining accurate response records.” Numbers give your experience context and make achievements easier to understand. Use them where they strengthen results. ✅ WRONG JOB TITLES Avoid titles that don’t clearly communicate your function. For example: ❌ IT Personnel ❌ Graduate ❌ Office Worker Use recognizable titles that accurately describe your work. This makes your experience clear. Never undersell your function. ✅ SKILLS MISMATCH Don’t fill your skills section with random abilities. Match your skills to the role you want. If the job requires Excel, CRM software, customer support, or project coordination, make those skills easy to identify. Your skills section should support your role. Keep it relevant. ✅ POOR ATS KEYWORD USE ATS systems often scan resumes for terms. That doesn’t mean you should stuff your CV with keywords. Use terminology from the job description when it accurately describes your experience. Place keywords naturally throughout your summary, experience, and skills sections. Don’t keyword-stuff. ✅ UNPROFESSIONAL CONTACT INFORMATION Use an email address, your phone number with the correct country code, and a LinkedIn profile, where relevant. Avoid outdated email addresses, missing country codes, or difficult contact details. Make contact easy. ✅ FORMATTING ERRORS A strong CV can still lose credibility when the formatting looks careless. Check your spacing, headings, dates, bullet points, font consistency, and alignment, carefully. Remove spelling mistakes and unnecessary graphics. Your CV should look organized before anyone reads the first bullet. One important thing: Your CV can get you past screening, but your experience, skills, and proof of ability are what can move you toward an interview. If you want my CV checklist, comment CV and I’ll send you a link. Did you learn anything new from this post? Let me know in the comments, and tell me what else you’d like me to break down. I’m always happy to help.

How to Find Remote Jobs on LinkedIn in 2026 LinkedIn has changed. More people are looking for remote jobs. More people have polished CVs. More people are using AI to write applications. More people are optimizing their profiles. So simply searching “remote jobs” and submitting applications isn't enough anymore. If you're using LinkedIn to find remote work, you need to use the platform differently. Here are 5 things I'd change. Change #1: Stop treating LinkedIn like a job board The Jobs tab is only one part of LinkedIn. Recruiters search for candidates. Hiring managers look at profiles. Founders notice specialists. Employees make referrals. That means an opportunity can reach you without you ever submitting an application. What you need to change: Build a profile that makes your target role obvious. Change #2: Make your profile searchable and specific Your headline shouldn't simply say: “Open to Work | Graduate | Hardworking Professional.” Tell people what you do and what kind of problem you solve. Your About section, experience and skills should reinforce the same direction. If you're targeting remote customer support roles, your profile should make that obvious. If you're targeting remote marketing roles, your profile should make that obvious. What you need to change: Choose 1–2 target role types and make your LinkedIn profile consistently support them. Change #3: Stop waiting for job posts LinkedIn gives you access to the people behind the vacancies. Find recruiters. Find hiring managers. Find employees at companies you want to work for. Follow them. Study what they talk about. Engage with their content. Build relationships before you need a referral. What you need to change: Spend part of your job search finding people, not just vacancies. Change #4: Use content and comments as proof You don't need to become an influencer. But your LinkedIn activity can demonstrate what you know. If you want a remote marketing role, talk about marketing. If you want customer success, discuss customer problems and solutions. If you want project management, share how you think about projects. And don't waste every comment saying “Great post.” Add an example. Share an observation. Explain something useful. Make people curious enough to visit your profile. What you need to change: Use LinkedIn activity to create evidence of your expertise. Change #5: Follow a daily routine You don't need to spend three hours on LinkedIn. You need consistency. Try this 45-minute routine: 10 minutes Find 5 relevant remote jobs and save the best ones. 10 minutes Find 5 recruiters, hiring managers or employees connected to those companies. 10 minutes Leave 3–5 thoughtful comments on relevant posts. 10 minutes Send 3–5 personalized connection requests. 5 minutes Check your notifications and respond to relevant conversations. Do this consistently instead of opening LinkedIn only when you need a job. The important thing is that LinkedIn isn't just somewhere you submit applications. It's also where employers can discover you. Your profile creates context. Your content creates proof. Your comments create visibility. Your network creates access. Your applications create opportunities. Use all five together. Because when more people can produce the same polished CV with AI, simply looking qualified becomes less distinctive. You need to become easier to find, easier to understand and easier to remember. If you're serious about finding a remote job through LinkedIn, don't just save this post. Start the 45-minute routine today. Then comment “ROUTINE” if you want me to break down exactly what to do during each 10-minute block.

If this appears on your feed, May your next application reach the right person. May your skills meet the right opportunity. May the job you've been searching for finally find you too. Amen. 🙏🏽 Good morning, remote workers. Keep showing up. Your opportunity may be closer than you think.

The more one reads, the better one's articulation in writing becomes.

And it will not matter the mistakes I have made in my journey. It will not matter the expectations I have not met. And it will not matter how much I have failed to turn my life around. It will not matter that my life is not representative of the work I have put in. One day; heavens will open unto me and for the very first time I will have no words to explain the supernatural blessings that have been released upon my life. They will be too much that my barns will not be able to contain them. People from all nations will rise and call me blessed. I will speak of the journey but it will be clear that the journey did not bring me here, the hand of GOD did.

You need to learn to keep your answers concise during interviews. You spent 30 minutes to answer “Tell me about yourself”. You do not have to tell me about your family challenges and your financial responsibilities. Keep your answer concise and tailor it to the role you are interviewing for. Thank you.

Most people fear rejection more than they fear staying stuck. At least rejection moves you forward. Staying stuck just keeps you comfortable and unfulfilled.

Delegation isn't dumping tasks on people. It's trusting them with outcomes, then giving them room to figure out the how. Micromanaging isn't leadership. It's fear wearing a title.

In your career you need a mentor, but make sure you have a mentor who is not insecure about your growth, dreams and achievements.

Career growth isn’t always obvious. You are growing in ways that don’t immediately show up as a new title or a salary increase. The difficult conversation you finally learned how to have. The big project you handled. The difficult task you were trusted with. The skill you are learning even though you haven’t had the opportunity to use it fully in your current role. The mistakes you made and learned from. The ability to communicate better, manage pressure, solve problems and take ownership. These things may not look like “career growth” on paper, but they are actually building a version of you that doesn’t need a big announcement. And that counts too. Don’t overlook your progress just because it hasn’t produced a visible result yet. Keep building.

Never stop learning and listening.

Happy new week!!Before the "to do" list takes over, decide the one thing that would make this week a win. Start there. Everything else can follow.

Recruiters pay attention when: 1. Your CV is tailored to the role. 2. Your experience is relevant. 3. Your career progression tells a story. 4. Your skills match the job description. 5. You show impact, not just responsibilities. 6. Your LinkedIn profile backs up your CV. 7. Your CV makes them curious enough to keep reading. Your CV has a job before you get the job, let your CV speak for you before you get in the room.

Faith without works is dead (James 2:26). You can pray for the job and still send the application. You can trust God for the breakthrough and still show up prepared. Faith isn't the absence of effort. It's effort backed by trust.

Understand that change is inevitable. So take your time with this season. And no matter how much you have to, reset, refocus, and see this life the way that grace sees it
