- Make necessary connection and networking: it is a thing that has been proven over and again that the greatest asset one can have is “man.” Establish relationships with people, everyone has value and can be of immense benefit if the relationship is managed well.
- Train along: awake, don’t just enjoy the money and cozy, we wouldn’t say you shouldn’t enjoy but if you are still of the opinion that you have a dream to chase, you got to build, develop and keep up with requirements that is in trend with the work.
- Consider if you really want a change: most times, people who take on work different from what they initially wanted to do finds a new passion in the work they took, engineers who took on accounting job and get to the point of becoming a charted accountant because of a newly found passion, Lawyer turned mass communicator, we can go on and on with cases like this.
