STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
MAKING THE RIGHT CAREER DECISION
Dear Stella,
I am an ardent reader of your blog and comment sometimes under anonymous. Thank you for impacting and changing lives.
Please I need your advice and that of the good blog followers.
To my story/ chronicle.
I have been working as a contract staff of one of the Nigerian banks for almost 12 years now and the truth is that there is no hope or any future for me there. My take home monthly is below 100k and there is no other benefits, no promotion, same thing, same position for 12years. Even if I stay there for 20 years more, it won’t make any difference.
The truth is that I am tired of everything about the work, the way contract staff are treated and looked down up on in this bank is nothing to write home about. I cry most nights asking myself why did I start this in the first place.
I am a University graduate with 2:1, plus some certifications I have acquired as well. Stella, I am an intelligent lady, not bragging. I deserve better than what am doing now. It’s so heartbreaking to see someone that just graduated being your boss because he/she came in as an Executive Trainee- someone you teach the job.
I have searched and searched and still searching for Job in other organizations but to no avail. To say the least Stella, I am tired and frustrated.
I do not wish my enemy to experience what I have been through these long years in this place.
I have made up my mind to resign by January because I do not want to continue like this in 2020. I want to enrol in fashion school for a 6months training after which I will see what I can do for myself.
I need your advice and that of blog visitors if this is a step in the right direction or if there are other ideas they can offer, I am open to welcome them.
I will be in the comment section to read.
Thank you Stella and please keep me anonymous.
*My question is have you saved enough money to take this risk?you might find employment but will the pay come in steady?you may start something new but will find customers on time before your account empties?ask yourself all these first and if not then manage where you are until you save up enough or get something better...use wisdom before you jump from the frying pan into the fire....

ReplyDeleteStella, you have posted this earlier.
DeleteAbi, the poster wants weekend advice?
Weekend advice lol Kai
DeleteWhile I was in service I got a job with 150k monthly pay. 3 years after I resigned and started doing what I really loved to do which is teaching and today (5 years after resigning) I earn 50k from 4 different schools where I do part time teaching but guess what, if I have the chance I would do exactly the same again and again.
DeleteMy point is, plz go for what makes you happy. Damn the consequences, life is too short go be anything but happy.

ReplyDeleteChai, contract staff in Zenith is better, after 3 or 4 yrs, you will be converted to a full staff and you climb from there. I will advice you to hang in there, save enough money that will be enough for you to start up something and also to sustain you till you start making profit. Don't take a decision you will regret later.
ReplyDeletePoster just follow your heart and be sure you are doing the right thing...remember its not gonna be easy just brace yourself..happy weeknd
ReplyDeleteAll we are sayinggggggggggg. Give us today’s chronicle.
ReplyDeleteStella did an UPDATE to acknowledge the BV who gave the Poster a job
ReplyDeleteIs someone that wears the shoe that knows where it pains. She must have seen it all there. It’s possible she is not longer happy and no fulfillment. You can’t be going or doing something you are not happy doing because of the fear of the unknown. She sounds to frustrated. The truth is that that, I can relate with her story. Take a walk please for your sanity sake. You need a change please even if not the fashion school. Take time an make job search your job, believe you me, something good will come, there is light in the end of tunnel. Trust God.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven’t been there you won’t understand. I was there for almost 10yrs and I took a walk after a year, the orange bank laid off contract staff that had stayed from 10yrs. Poster you have over stayed there please. It’s better you quit by yourself than for the bank to sack you themself. I can advise you, take they step now. You won’t regret it. Good luck ok
