*A huge well done to Tolu on securing a role as a Project Support Officer*

I was invited to Tritek by a dear friend who probably saw in me what I didn’t see in myself and came for my first taster session in 2018. I wasn’t so confident at the time because it was shortly after I went through a major life crisis so I didn’t take the training.

For some good reason Adeshola started posting success stories and each time I read them I say to myself ‘that could be you’.

I came back in 2020 and decided to give it my all after I had my baby who was six months at the time.

I was placed on Project SAS. The project came to an end and I felt like I haven’t really learnt anything so I joined the Programme Office. I visited LMS everyday sometimes till midnight digesting every information I can, reading all project management materials available in Tritek and online.

I took my certifications in Scrum and PRINCE2 and passed. I Started making applications and got so many rejections- my CV was obviously the problem.

I worked on my CV and updated my LinkedIn profile and I started getting the interviews. The majority were from LinkedIn!!!

I have finally been offered a role as Project Support Officer.

My advice for everyone are:

1. Do not sleep on your dreams, they are valid, give it all it takes.
2. Do your certifications, they stand you out. The competition out there is every stiff now due to the impact of COVID, a lot of well experienced professionals who lost their jobs are back in the job market.
3. Do your research and know your working tools you might be asked at interviews.
4. Do not limit yourself to Tritek, read all PM documents available online.
