If someone had told me that a few years ago that using the social media will one day land me in a job, I would have totally disagreed with that person, be it an expert, a researcher or a fortuneteller. In fact, this wasn’t because I didn’t know what social media was all about but mainly because I was ONLY passionately on Facebook to chart with friends with some that I don’t know.
Here I am, have signed a six month-contract with one of the
best IT Service Providers in The Gambia to be its “Social Media Administrator”.
A post I only knew existed during the signing of the contract.
Being born and brought up in the rural community of The Gambia
where young people trek several kilometers to access internet to use the social
media-Facebook and Skype, today, I count myself a one of the luckiest to have
had the opportunity to access the social media anytime, anywhere with thanks to
an IPAD provided by Global Youth Innovation Network (GYIN) International.
