*A huge well done to Amos on securing a role as a Project Coordinator*

I joined Tritek in August 2020 with no real life experience in Project Management.

From the taster session, I knew Tritek was the right platform for me. I felt like I was in a Project Management heaven.

After the online training, I was the deputy PM on a cyber security project and our team was called Project Cyber-S. It was a 7 weeks project and I was privileged to work with a really amazing and talented team. The PM on the project was Lynda Madichie.

The truth is if you don’t believe in angels then you’ve not met Lynda Madichie. She walks on water just so she’s ever ready to be of help and she’s very supportive.

After completion of our Project, I kept a close relationship with Lynda and I told her I would love to get on another project as a PM whilst I look for PMO, Project Support or Project Coordinator Jobs outside of Tritek.

I brushed up my CV specifically targeting the aforementioned roles. Initially I couldn’t find any of the roles within close proximity as I live in Glasgow Scotland and I told Lynda about it and she encouraged me to keep searching and she was even sending me job offers as I considered relocating to England. However I uploaded my CV on as many job sites I could find.

On Monday the 16th of November 2020 I received a call from a recruiting agency (Harvey Nash) to say they saw my CV on a job site and wanted to know if I would be interested in a Project Coordinator role with NHS Scotland so I said yes and they booked me in for an interview. I was excited and at the same time nervous as it will be my first ever project management interview but I was confident I had all the tools needed on LMS if there was ever a need to bring out the big guns. I told Lynda about it and she was happy for me and asked me to send her the Job description which I did and the first thing she said was “You’ve got this” then she sent me some interview questions which really helped. I also remember in one of Eunice’s lectures she said we should learn to speak project management language as it will be helpful in interviews, which I mastered.

On Tuesday the 24th of November 2020, I had a virtual interview and I was offered the job by Wednesday the 25th of November 2020. This was my first ever interview and the only role I applied for.

However, I will still be doing another project with Tritek as a PM because there’s so much to learn from Tritek. I believe with resilience and determination Tritek will give you the tools and knowledge needed to reach your full potentials. I was able to smash my interview and get the job without any Prince2 or formal project management qualification. All I had was just Tritek and LMS.

Tritek isn’t just a business, it’s a family of professionals always willing to help shape you into your dream career.

I want to say a big thank you to Adeshola and everyone in Tritek, my forever miraculous PM Lynda Madichie and everyone in Project Cyber-S for being a part of my amazing journey.

It’s official Tritek first Private Jet is on me.
