Hello ladies and gentlemen of the @beentreprenur community, this is a real event a recount of my passion and drive towards been an entrepreneur.
From the onset my passion for creativity was what pushed me towards these drive for ENTREPRENEURSHIP, and so I began, if you wish to know more about it you can check it here in my post PASSION IS ENOUGH an initiative prompted by -damarysvibra....however as things get higher so did my inclination towards running a self Owned enterprise.
Then in 2022 while in uyo, the capital city of Akwa Ibom state Nigeria, one of the southern state in the country, I noticed this new sophisticated walk-in eatery, from the onlook of things it I knew the brain behind these set up must be a genius, so I decided to apply and to my surprise I was called for an interview the next day with practicals, after that I was employed to work as a pastry chef with a good pay sum ... Alas! It was a dream come through to work here....
The goal, I mean ultimate goal was to learn, build knowledge, get exposed and gather experience, because the recipes and products here it's definitely not the regular we usually have around so I was determined to learn as much as I could..
I was barely a month old when one of those days on my way to the office I was attacked and rubbed, I sustained a severe Injury on my left ft t wrist that require a surgical operation, after spending three weeks plus in the hospital and back, I was given a second chance at my dream place, I turned it down on the premise of the fact that I wasn't okay to resume, mean while I was,
After like two weeks I came back to the office but I was pushed back, my MD told me to the face, we waited for you from the day of the incident, even gave you extra weeks to heal properly, the vacancy was still there but you failed to show up at work, we're sorry there's no more chance....i kept applying several times but no reply....
I felt bad cause I let the chance slipt out of my palm, these is one of the best places here in the city with the best range of top notch quality products and services, such that if o tell people that I have worked at TINARIES instantly their perception of me run up to 100% that is how great Tinaries bakery is...
Fast-forward to this year, I just returned to this city like three weeks ago and I decided to come around an apply atleast for the last time before I leave for my compulsory one year national service, to my greatest surprise I was called for an interview there I knew my dreams would come back alive, after that I was called again yesterday to come for the practicals today.....
When I stepped into these place it was like something I never knew, the entire lobby has been revamped, top notched scenery and very classy, for real I can say TINARIES BAKERY has the biggest customer base in the whole of uyo, cause you get customers on queue just to buy, and in here the PRODUCTS ARE THE BEST that's why I'm I really want to work here and get enough knowledge and an Insight to her recipes
Aftera while I was called in to the production area, waoooo....to my greatest surprise everything has changed holly molly, were am I, in the pastery section there was now a pastry milling machine, a separate work table, more hands to handle production, Extra 5-deck standard electric/Gas oven, the biggest bread mixer, like the entire production area has been rearranged, modernised and production has gone all up, like a vision come true, like she saw these coming am was prepared for it, My MD is really a genius at her business, I'm beginning to think she did a course in business management...
After the practicals we talked terms and we both agreed to the deal of employment and so officially I'm in for a half day, shifting working hours at TINARIES BAKERY AGAIN, another chance to correct all the wrongs....
