I saw Isale Eko’s petition against Gangs of Lagos on Twitter last night and I really didn’t even know what to think about it.

P.S If you’ve not seen Gangs of Lagos, I’m coming to take lessons from you on how to handle peer pressure.

In Today’s Email:

1. Winking is a workplace-relevant skill

2. A lot’s been going down at Flutterwave

3. What do you think about Isale Eko’s petition against “Gangs of Lagos”?

“Applying for jobs is the absolute ghetto.”

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to get job offers left and right, without even trying?

If you’ve not met any of those, well we spoke with 5 Nigerians who got their jobs without applying, and let’s just say… this life no balance at all!

But I figured their not-so-secret secret – they’re still hustling, just not in the “Please hire me” way we’re used to.

Basically, instead of just sending out resumes and waiting for a miracle, they’re being creative behind the scenes to get the attention of people who can help them build their careers.

And if you’re tired of applying to job openings and getting no response, you can do it too. This explains in detail how to go about it.

But I’ll tell you about one that caught my attention - wink marketing!

What’s that?

It’s simply making subtle moves to put yourself on the radar of decision-makers in your industry.

Follow them on social media, share their posts, and leave some thoughtful comments. It’s like saying “I see you, and I’m interested.” And before you know it, they’ll be the ones reaching out to you.

Wisdom, huh?

But yeah, that’s just one. Go check out the rest because no member of this community should be struggling or begging for a job.

We don’t do that here!
