How it all Started

27 year old Nicole graduated from the marketing dept., Unilag with a 2nd class upper degree and completed her NYSC about 3 years ago. She had been job hunting but she hadn't been successful. She's been wondering if she wasn't good enough for a job or if she's just been unlucky.


In the meantime, she developed herself in different ways. She read up all the GMAT books that she could lay her hands upon in preparation for entrance exams, researched on what to expect at interviews and how to tackle tough interview questions and drew up a perfect CV. She also learnt to touch type for the fun of it, took a diploma degree in a local computer school to gain computer literacy and generally kept herself busy.

Nicole was getting tired of the search and the frustration of not getting the jobs even after she managed to get interviewed but she was still hopeful.

Today, she's preparing for another job interview, it's an Executive Assistant/Admin position. The name sounds classy she tells herself as she looks herself in the full length mirror in the room she shares with her younger sister.

She looked pretty in her perfectly ironed sky blue shirt and black skirt which clung to her very nice shape and made her look like the 'executive' she's hoping to be soon. She put on her nice stiletto heels, pretty black strapped wrist watch to go with it and minimal make up. She looked taller than her 5'6' height and she loved the effect of the shoes. She took an anxious glance at her wrist watch again and said a little prayer.
