Example 3: A Career job Seeker
Say you are a qualified receptionist, salesperson, cook, restaurant attendant or driver. If you set up a blog and social pages and start sharing what you know in that field, people will start to notice you. This is a better way to seek employment.

Many people lack jobs because instead of being creative, they spend all the time posting on Facebook pages and groups asking for any jobs.
