MY NEW JOB EXPERIENCE

Starting a new job is scary. Whether you’re straight out of college or have been in the workforce for 20 years, entering into a new work environment can make you feel as if you’ve stepped foot on another planet. In order to succeed, both socially and professionally, you’re expected to learn the lingo, follow the dress code, and pick up on acceptable behaviors. That’s a whole lot to do without help. Have you ever wanted something desperately that you thought you can’t wait to have and finally get it and later panic?

MY NEW JOB EXPERIENCE

That is me, no need to worry I keep saying this to myself every day. Welcome to my new job experience.

The diasporic journey of getting a job in Ghana is every youth struggle because eight out of ten youth are out of employment, hence the craving of roaming the street to seek employment. But the question is:

  • Do we get what we want?
  • Will you do what you have been thought to do?
  • How comfortable is the job to you?
  • Did you just apply for a job because you need to fit in?
  • Is it the money or the love of it?
  • How many people enjoy their jobs?
  • Is your job fun or like prisons?

This and many more are the questions we battle with when looking or haunting for a job.

However, I couldn’t lay head at the nursery bed, so I had to find my way to my department which is the regulatory affairs department to meet the general manager and the assistant manager.
