Go Remote With Temi Temi

Have you been told that you have to get into tech before getting a remote job? Or you don't know what career path to choose based on all that you have the capacity to do differently? In this episode, you'll learn what you need to do differently to identify your desired career path. If this is the phase that you are in your career journey, stay tuned and learn what to do differently.

We all have our stories to tell differently because we have different choices and different journies.

My life has been an interesting journey so far, so much fear overcame, so much uncertainty clarified and so much of desires met; but not at once.

In this episode, I shared my career journey from scratch and how I faced different life realities.



Without a doubt, I am sure you would enjoy this episode. Feel free to share and leave a comment.

It can be so frustrating to keep applying over and over again and then getting the "sorry we can't move on with your application" email.

I used to be at this phase until I strategically followed the points I highlight in this episode.

Whatever phase you are in your job search, don't give up yet, there is still hope.

Carefully follow through with the highlight strategies in this episode, then come back with your big wins.

I am here to cheer you on.

Do you know being a Jack of all trade and master of none could be a stepping stone to building a globally recognised career?

Olamide primarily started as one, and today, she is not just a 'Jack of all trade' she is even better than '... a master of one'.

She went from primarily reading and writing to Marketing and Communications, to Digital Marketing, then to Project Development; but at the core, she reads and writes.



Olamide studied Computer Science, at the same time she is interested in a lot of things like: 

reading, writing, listening to music, swimming, painting amongst many other things; which is more personality-driven.

Over time, she enjoys being a writer.



In this episode, Temi and Olamide had an extensive conversation on how to remain effective and relevant as a generalist.

Olamide shared her story of how she over time found herself doing so many things at a time and how she got

to monetise and leverage each of her skills as a means of income, depending on what job she received per time.

Is it possible to transition from a non-tech role, say event planning and management to a full-time role in Tech, you asked?

In today's episode, I brought you a special guest, my husband, Kayode Oyewole.

Apart from being my husband, Kayode is a Partner at Ventures Platform where he spends most of his time making bold bets in early-stage companies building products that literarily push Africa forward and supporting portfolio companies as they find product-market fit and scale. He is a firm believer in reasoning from first principles. He regularly asks “How can Africa leverage technology as a force for good to solve really critical problems and ensure shared prosperity on the continent ”, This fuels his passion to invest in mission-driven founders. 

Kayode served as a mentor on the Village Capital Fintech Africa Program and the Africa Entrepreneurship Award, where he provided advisory around product, distribution, and fundraising to about 50 companies who have gone ahead to raise millions (USD)in external funding. He helped Seedstars set up their pilot Venture building program in Nigeria.
