Work Diary 4

...The one where I tell you about my new job?

Hi!
It’s been a hot minute.
Hot because a lot of fiery stuff has been happening behind the scene.
Like getting a new job and officially transitioning into tech. (Considering changing this title to “Diary of a Tech Sis”

If you want to hear the full details on how I got this job, you may never get it.
For now, you may have to make do with this tweet that summarizes the process and refer back to

Work Diary 2

this update that acknowledges the hand of God in the process.
As a new tech sis, I think I get it now. I get the rave and clamour for tech. There’s just something about it that allows you dream beyond what your eyes can see, in terms of career growth.

I have been working for about 3 weeks by the time you get this email and I resolved to write something weekly, to document this process.
Some I will publish here, some I may never publish and some you may find on medium.
Documenting is great, it allows you reflect with the details instead of the skeletal skimming that we are wont to do.

My first week was like a regular first week in a remote work environment, I was left to myself save for the onboarding sessions held a few times in the week.
I was bored and probably spent a good amount of time on social media and in my head, because I actually like to work.
I had 3 meetings in one day and I was so elated, maybe because these meetings allow me feel the pulse of the organization and my colleagues in a fully remote work environment.
Or maybe I’m not a regular human being 😅.

In other news, today is the EoY party and I will not disappoint all my fans by dressing up to go all the way to an event with people I do not know. I will sit in my house and finish the novel I bought on my first day of work.
The End

I have my first meeting today (my meeting, because I organized it and I am taking lead on the meeting).
I feel so underqualified and under equipped because this is a very new territory. So new that I am beginning to consider getting a mentor in the field whom I can field all my questions to.
I did study the meeting scope and took down a couple of likely meeting questions but all in all, I look to Jesus to help me 😅 (not even joking because, Bezalel).

Right now my biggest struggle is how to talk to my colleagues and not appear rude or full of myself because I work with C-Suite and I don’t want anybody thinking I’m an intelligent and disrespectful Gen Z.
Abeg o.

I’m very humble l’agbara Jesu. (by the power of Jesus)
Send me tips on how to talk to C-Suite.
Stay Blessed and jiggy.
Bye.

I will now be accepting motivations
