I am Amoako Siaw Addy, a recruiter with Jobberman Ghana.<\/a> I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Professional Studies, Accra.<\/p>\n

I had a rare opportunity to do my national service with Jobberman Ghana after I had an internship with the company for 3 months right after I completed school in 2019.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, I was the first person in the history of the company to be posted as a national service person. This was between September 2019 and August 2020.<\/p>\n

During my service, I learnt a whole lot of skills, both soft and hard skills. I learnt how to work in a team, improved my communication and presentation skills. I had the opportunity to learn from the sales and recruitment teams.<\/p>\n

I learnt how to work collaboratively on the cloud as it is our everyday practice as a digital organization.<\/p>\n

One thing that motivated me to keep going was an inspiration I got from my head of sales then, Samuel Ato Inkoom.<\/a> He said \u201cEither you count the days or you make the days count\u201d<\/i>. The option was left for me to decide. That will determine if after my service I will be retained or bid farewell.<\/p>\n

I had to buckle up and work hard. I did my best, built good relationships, networked with people and by God\u2019s grace I was retained after my service. It was not easy. There were days sales went bad. Some days, I achieved my target and a whole lot of ups and downs.<\/p>\n

My national service had an effect on my career path. I wanted to work in an accounting firm or something similar but I found myself doing human resource and recruitment. And here I am working full time as a recruiter and CV specialist here at Jobberman Ghana. The journey has been great and I am enjoying what I do. One key thing I am proud of, is the fact that I have improved on my presentation and selling skills.<\/p>\n

My advice to fresh graduates about to do their service is \u201cEither you count the days or you make the days count. <\/i>It should be a combination of hard work, perseverance and prayers.<\/p>\n

Dear national service personel, remember to take it one step at a time and you will surely get there. When you get the opportunity to work in an institution you love make an impact and let your work speak for you.<\/p>\n
