Below are just a few of the responses he received:

@MASAMBAPINTOJ advised:

"In my opinion, it's better you get a firm that can take you up, volunteer for 6 months or a year impress am sure if they don't retain you, they will recommend you. It's the fastest way to get into your industry before specialising. Don't give up the start is always hard."

@i_zziwa shared:

"All the best lad, you are brave enough. Lemme post this on my WhatsApp status too. Probably there could be someone looking for your skills."

@bushenyibuoy quote tweeted with:

"I surely wish you all the best bro. I know how it’s not easy to get a job."
