I have worked as a hospitality worker for 16 years, and I'm 50. After my children starting school, I decided to move into project management, and I have completed an online certificate. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Kano, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      Wishing you peace, Lucky. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
