After NYSC, I told my mom to inform all her customers that her son was looking for a job. She had a small shop where she seels things. She told a customer, a woman. The woman saw me and asked what course I studied. I told her. Her face brightened. She had a colleague who started his own IPAN registered laboratory. He already told her he was looking to recruit a fresh graduate of microbiology. She told him about me and he sent his mail for me to send my CV. I was invited for an interview. It was a two stage process. The woman already told me the kind of analysis they do in the laboratory so I read about the basics. I got the job. It was through that job that I learnt all I knew about sampling. It was through the job that I entered a plane for the first time I'm life on company expense. A good referral helped me here and I am grateful.
