Be Inspired Nigerian Graduate
Who Held Up Job Sign At Train Station In UK Finally Gets His Dream Job.
Alfred Ajani is proof
that thinking outside the box when pursuing one’s
dreams is the key to success.
Last month, NM told you about
Ajani, the 22-year-old Coventry University graduate who was unemployed for
several months, and decided to stand at Waterloo train station holding up
a placard advertising his degree and credentials.
You will recall that his
unusual job-hunting approach attracted the attention of many commuters,
including company bosses, who stopped to talk with him to discuss potential
positions and pick up CVs.
Ajani, who appears to be of
Nigerian parentage, didn’t want just any job –
he was looking for a career specifically in Marketing, which is what he studied
in the university.
He has since landed his
dream in a marketing position at the Asoria Group, a recruitment
agency, Daily Mail reports.He started work yesterday September
8th.
The director of the company
just happened to be at the train station on that day. And although he wasn’t
one of the people that stopped to talk to Ajani, he later got in touch with him
via Linked In.
The company was looking for
candidates who had the ability to “think outside the
box,” and the enterprising graduate proved to be the
perfect candidate.
“The job is one I wouldn’t
have got if I hadn’t gone to the station that morning, so I advise anyone
out there who is in the same position I was to think of more direct ways to
speak to employers,” says Ajani.
His colleagues wore some
awesome t-shirts to welcome him on his first day at work,See photo
