I was sent out of Canada.

Yes, that’s why I came back home a few months ago.

Yep, you read that right.

I came into Canada with a spousal open work permit, and when it was about to expire, we applied for an extension. We were just going about our business, waiting for the extension to come through, only to receive a rejection email.

This came at a crucial time, with a change of government and rapid changes to immigration policies.

Omo, everywhere first blur. Premium tears everywhere.

We did not see it coming at all, and I had only a few days to leave the country ASAP.

My husband wanted to start running around to see how we could appeal the rejection without me leaving, but I just told him, “Babe, let’s leave it. I’ll go.”

I wasn’t sure what God was doing, but I trusted Him. And so, I came back to Nigeria.

I went about my Father’s business like nothing dey sup, trusting the One who had called me.

Then the dots began to connect.

First came Covabodi Festival. You know how that went, to the glory of God.

Then came brand ambassadorial roles.

If I tell you the other things God helped me achieve during this trip, ehn, you’ll open your mouth in wonder.

I began to understand that Canada didn’t send me away. God brought me back to carry out specific assignments.

Then one morning, we woke up and I got an email:

“Congratulations Deborah, you’re now a permanent resident of Canada.”

Yup. You’re looking at the latest Canadian permanent resident.

When I flew into Canada last week, I bounced in there like a madam.

I’m sharing this testimony to let you know that you need to trust God completely with your life.

You see that scripture that says all things work together for good? I need you to believe it with everything inside you.

Your wedding plans scattered? It’s working for your good.

They served you breakfast? It’s working for your good.

You didn’t get that opportunity? It’s working for your good.

Be proactive. Play your part. Send in the application. Do all that you should do, and leave the rest to God.

You may not see what God is doing in the moment, but as long as you’re faithfully serving and following God, just trust Him.

The dots will connect.

And you will look back and say, “Oh Father, so this is what You had in mind.”

Celebrate with me jare. God don run am.

PS: Peep my resident card.

Blessings!

Sarah had been unemployed for almost six months when she finally got an interview with a company she desperately wanted to work for.

The position required three years of experience in digital marketing, but Sarah had only about one year of proper experience. She had done freelance jobs, managed social media pages for small businesses and taken several courses, but she knew her experience wasn’t enough to compete with the hundreds of other applicants.

So she changed one thing on her CV. She presented some of her freelance work as if she had worked for a well-known marketing agency for three years. It wasn’t completely made up because she had actually worked on projects connected to the agency, but she had never been their employee.

She got the interview, impressed the panel and eventually got the job. For the first few months, everything went perfectly. She worked hard, learned quickly and even became one of the team’s better performers. Nobody questioned her experience.

Then the company won a major client.

During the first strategy meeting, Sarah walked into the room and immediately recognised the client’s Marketing Director.

It was the same woman who had supervised the project Sarah had worked on as a freelancer two years earlier.

The woman looked at her for a few seconds and said, “Sarah? I thought you were a freelancer on that project. When did you start working with the agency?”

Nobody in the room said a word.

Sarah tried to explain, but the more she talked, the worse it sounded. Her manager later pulled her aside and asked her to explain exactly what she had put on her CV.

She eventually admitted everything.

The company didn’t fire her immediately. Instead, HR started investigating her entire application and discovered that several other details on her CV had also been exaggerated.

Sarah was dismissed two weeks later.

The painful part?

The company had already discovered that she was actually very good at the job. If she had presented her real experience honestly, she probably would have been considered for a more junior position.

She lost the job she had finally managed to get because she tried to look more experienced than she really was.

Now the question is:

Is exaggerating your experience on a CV ever acceptable when you genuinely have the skills to do the job, or should your CV always reflect exactly what you have done, even if it means being rejected for jobs you’re capable of doing?

How to Ask a Friend for a Job Referral

You’ve probably heard that one of the best ways to get a job is through a referral from a friend or someone in your professional network.

That’s because employers are often more willing to hire candidates who come recommended by someone they know and trust than those recommended by a complete stranger.

Another advantage is that referrals can give you early access to opportunities before they are publicly advertised. You can start by checking the careers page of your contact’s company, but even if there are no openings listed, it may still be worth having a conversation.

That said, there are a few things you should avoid when asking for a referral if you don’t want to damage the relationship.

Don’t be entitled.

Nobody *owes* you a referral. When you ask, avoid putting pressure on the other person.

Wrong:
“I saw an opening at your company. Can you refer me?”

Better:
“Would you feel comfortable recommending me or mentioning me to the hiring manager?”

Don’t call out of the blue.

Putting someone on the spot and expecting an immediate answer is rarely a good idea. In many cases, you’ll get a quick “no” simply because the request caught them off guard.

Send a text or email first and give them time to think about it.

Don’t exaggerate or lie about your qualifications.

When someone refers you, they are putting their reputation on the line. If you misrepresent your experience and make them look bad, you could permanently damage the relationship.

If the person is a professional contact who doesn’t know you well, offer to send your CV and any additional information they may need to make an informed decision.

Got the referral? Here’s what to do next.

Mention the referral in your cover letter or application. The hiring manager may already know about it, but it shows professionalism and attention to detail.

Most importantly, thank the person who referred you, whether you get the job or not. A sincere thank-you message, call, gifts, and a small gesture of appreciation go a long way.

When you’re respectful and considerate throughout the process, and you send a gift afterwards no matter how little, you not only increase your chances of getting hired, but you also strengthen the relationship with the person who helped you.

The HR manager called Amaka into her office on a Tuesday morning. There was no warning, and her manager was already sitting there. Then HR asked her a question she wasn’t expecting: “Are you currently interviewing with other companies?”

Amaka froze. For the past two weeks, she had been attending interviews during her lunch breaks. She hadn’t told anyone because she wasn’t even sure she would get another job. After a few seconds of silence, she admitted that she had been interviewing elsewhere.

Her manager looked disappointed. “We’ve invested so much in you.” Amaka immediately felt guilty. She had worked there for five years, rarely missed deadlines and had always been one of the most reliable people on the team.

But six months earlier, she had realised that the company wasn’t planning her career for her. She had to do it herself. So she quietly started looking for other opportunities.

What happened next made her think she had made the right decision. HR told her they appreciated her honesty and wanted to know what they could do to make her stay. Amaka left the meeting feeling relieved. She thought she had handled the situation maturely by being honest with her employer.

Three weeks later, she discovered that her manager had started looking for her replacement.

The moment she admitted she was interviewing elsewhere, management apparently decided that she was already halfway out. They stopped giving her important projects, removed her from a major client account and gradually excluded her from meetings she had previously attended.

Two months later, she was told that her position was being “restructured.” She was sacked.

Amaka was shocked, but she wasn’t too worried. She had already started interviewing, so she assumed she would have another job soon.

Then everything went wrong.

One company rejected her after the final interview. Another chose a different candidate. The third position was put on hold.

Within a few weeks, Amaka was unemployed.

She had lost the job she had because her employer thought she was leaving, but she had never actually secured the job she was leaving for.

9 months later, she finally found another position.

But she says she learned one lesson she will never forget:

“Never announce your exit before you actually have somewhere to go.”

Now we’re curious.

If your employer directly asked whether you were interviewing elsewhere, would you tell the truth?

Or would you keep quiet until you had signed the offer letter?

Let’s hear from people who have actually been in this situation.

FREE CERTIFICATIONS TO TAKE IF YOU WANT A REMOTE JOB👇

You don’t always need another degree to become more employable. Sometimes, you need to prove that you can actually do the work.

That is becoming especially important for remote jobs because a company in Canada can receive applications from people in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, India, the UK and dozens of other countries for the same position.

So having “BSc.” on your CV is no longer enough.

If you’re trying to break into remote work, here are credible certifications and industry credentials you can start earning online for free: [A Thread] 🧵👇

I’m Chinedu, 27. I work remotely for a company in Lagos and earn ₦950,000 monthly.

Last year, I had saved ₦4.8 million. For someone who grew up in Enugu, I never imagined earning close to ₦1 million before turning 30.

My plan was simple: keep my remote job, stay in Enugu, save aggressively and maybe buy land within a few years.

Then a company in Canada reached out. The offer sounded like everything people dream about.

CAD $58,000 per year. Work permit sponsorship. A pathway to permanent residency.

My family was excited. My mum started telling people her son was relocating abroad. My friends said the decision was obvious.

But when I sat down to do the maths, things became complicated.

In Enugu, I worked from home. My rent was only ₦350,000 per year. I spent very little on transportation and managed to save between ₦450,000 and ₦600,000 every month.

In Canada, the salary looked bigger on paper, but there would be taxes, rent, transportation, winter expenses and the reality of starting life from scratch without family or friends.

For the first time, I wasn’t sure what “better” actually meant.

Everyone around me kept saying, “Just leave Nigeria.”

Nobody wanted to discuss the numbers.

Then something unexpected happened.

My manager offered me a promotion. The new salary was ₦1.6 million monthly.

Fully remote.

Now I had two options:

Leave everything behind and start a new life abroad.

Or stay, take the promotion and keep building from where I already was. I spent weeks thinking about it.

Eventually, I chose to stay.

My family thought I was making a mistake.

Some friends said I would regret it for the rest of my life.

That was 18 months ago.

Today, my salary is ₦2.3 million per month at a construction finance firm. I have over ₦14 million in savings, bought a piece of land in Ibeju-Lekki, and started building.

But every now and then, I still ask myself one question:

Did I choose financial comfort or did I miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

If you were in my shoes, what would you have done?

A. Take the Canada offer

B. Stay in Nigeria and take the promotion

And more importantly, why?

How to Land an Internship in Nigeria and Other African Countries, Even If You Don’t Have Connections👇

Most students make the same mistake when looking for internships. They wait for a vacancy to appear, apply to the biggest companies they know, get rejected and conclude that internships are only for people with connections.

That is not true.

There are hundreds of companies across Africa that take interns, SIWES/IT students, NYSC members, graduate interns and trainees. The problem is knowing where to look and how to approach them.

Here’s how to find internship opportunities, and where to apply: [A Thread] 🧵👇
