From Rejection to Triumph: My Unrelenting Journey to Becoming a Remote Data Analyst. #Linkedin I still chuckle when I think about my job hunt saga. It's a story of rejection, perseverance, and ultimately, triumph. In April 2024, few months into being a Corp Member , I embarked on a mission to land a remote Data Analyst role. With a list of Fintech and Agricultural companies in Ibadan, Lagos, and Abuja, I sent out 20 cold emails on the first day but got Zero responses. I won't lie, it stung. I refused to let disappointment discourage me though. I remembered why I started this journey in the first place – my passion for data analysis. So, I continued sending emails, refining my pitch, and connecting with potential employers on LinkedIn. Days turned into weeks, and the rejections started pouring in. Some were kind, while others... well, let's just say I learned what not to do. One person even told me I shouldn't be messaging people without an appointment. Ouch! That one still makes me laugh😂. Then, something shifted. Strangers started praising my CV and determination. Godsent Ndoma Zoom chat was a game-changer, fueling my motivation and giving me newfound confidence. With renewed energy, I continued applying to Easy Apply posts and reaching out to Lagos-based companies. Suddenly, responses poured in – some forwarded my CV to HR, others scheduled interviews! My accountability partner, Fasobu Adekemi , helped me prep for those interviews, while ABDULSALAM OMORE was the mastermind of the job-hunting tips. Before I knew it, I landed an interview with Kitovu Technology Company for an Operations Intern role. I was stunned – I had applied through LinkedIn without realizing it! The interview with Adedolapo Raheem was a breeze, thanks to my prep. Fast forward to July, I started as a Remote Operations Intern. It wasn't the Data Analyst role I wanted, but it was a foot in the door. I worked extensively with real-life data sets, analyzing employee attendance and performance, cleaning and analyzing inventory sales data, Extensive research on market trends, and creating KPI forms e.t.c The experience was priceless. I honed my problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication. My uncle's wise words echoed in my mind: "Everything is not all about money; gain experience first." Today, I'm still striving for that Data Analyst role with a good pay package. But I'm proud of my growth and the lessons learned along the way.

Why You Can't Find a Match. Imagine posting an opening on a job board, going to bed, and waking up to hundreds of applications. Sounds amazing, right? There are millions of young, ambitious professionals ready to work. But the reality is more shocking than it seems. As you start reviewing these applications, you realize some talents struggle to articulate the impact of their skills and measure their achievements. For instance, a data analyst may list “data entry” instead of showcasing experiences where they’ve saved the company $xx,xxx because they tracked reports over time, or a developer might simply write “built software” without highlighting how this software has revolutionised the inventory management for hundred of thousands of SMEs. To be fair, it’s not just candidates. Many job descriptions are so generic and the screening processes can sometime frustrate skilled professionals. The way forward from here is embracing the future of recruitment with advanced tools closing up this gap. An ecosystem not only matching talents to roles but prepping both parties to show their value while streamlining the process, so you’re not wasting productive time. Nigeria’s talent market has huge potential and with the right approach, you’ll find the people who can help you scale. What has been the most challenging part of sourcing talents/roles for you? #talentacquisition #jobapplication #hiring #recruitment #jobseeker #startup #humanresources

Today, I’d love to share the story of how I got my job as a Digital Business Analyst. It wasn’t an easy journey—there were plenty of applications and interviews, especially while I was in Lagos, Nigeria. Despite going through numerous interviews, I often didn’t hear back from recruiters, which was disheartening at times. But one day, as I was scrolling through a Telegram group for tech individuals (yes, Telegram!), I stumbled upon a post about a business analyst opening for a startup. The post listed the job description and years of experience required, and I thought, "Why not give it a shot?" So, I applied immediately. A couple of days later, I received an email inviting me to an interview. I was beyond excited but knew that preparation was key. I prepared as if my life depended on it! My husband helped me with a mock interview, asking me a variety of questions. I used the STAR approach (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure my answers, and it really helped me feel more confident. On the day of the interview, I was nervous, but the hiring managers were all smiling, which put me at ease. I answered their questions as gracefully as I could, and for the ones I didn’t fully understand, I asked for clarification. After the interview, I sent a follow-up thank-you email to the hiring manager, expressing my excitement about the role. A week later, I received the offer letter. I was over the moon! Of course, I negotiated my salary, and my employment letter was sent right after. It was such a fulfilling moment, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. Now, I’d love to hear from you: What was your experience like when you landed your current role? Share your journey in the comments below—I’m excited to read your stories! Let’s keep this conversation going! #day3of14 #LinkedInpowerup #14dayslinkedInpowerupchallengewithAlice #Careergrowth #Businessanalyst #Dataanalyst
