💡 Meet Bukola. She's a 400-level student studying computer science at the University of Lagos. Bukola just received the following from Newcastle Partners, a regional planning consulting firm based in Bristol, United Kingdom.
As you might imagine, Bukola is overjoyed! After a rigorous interview process, including a two-month unpaid trial, she has accomplished her goal of landing a remote job before graduation.
While Bukola celebrates this accomplishment, numerous others are dissapointed. They include:
Victor, a student at UNILAG, who never even heard back on his initial application
Emeka, a 500-level Engineering student at UNN is still bemoaning that he was asked to leave the trial program
Aliko, a recent graduate of Mathematics from Nairoibi was also part of trial but failed to receive an offer
Over the coming months, as we learn and practice essential non-technical, you'll meet Aliko, Emeka, Victor, and many others who did not get the offer. You'll understand the flaws in their approach, and the particular skills and mindsets that set apart the Bukolas of the world.
