"During my second month of national service, I saw there is a 50/50 chance of being retained. To keep my options open. What’s next, where do I start from. These are the very questions I was asking myself. So, I took my time and listed some firms down," he recalled.

"This is my little advice; I urge all current National Service Personnel to revamp their CVs and start applying for the job of their interest. Hey, don’t wait till the eleventh hour of your service," he mentioned.
