"One day, one of the senior employees of the company, asked my name and said - Alim, I can see something in your eyes (sounds filmy I know). He asked me about my studies and my computer knowledge."

He said he accepted the offer and would always go to the senior employee to learn HTML after completing his 12-hour shift.
Alim said:
"About after eight months, I created a small app. An app that takes the user input and visualizes it. The senior employee showed the app to his manager and he liked it. He asked if it is possible to interview me."
The young man said he thought he would not be interviewed because he didn't go to college but the senior employee told him that the company doesn't need college degrees, adding that what matters is the candidate and his skills.
He added:
"And the day came, gave the interview and ..passed it. Today it is my 8th year in Zoho Corporation."
The young man expressed gratitude to the senior employee for all the knowledge he acquired from him and also thanked his organisation for allowing him to prove himself.

Personal development coach Dipo Awojide made the disclosure on social media.
In his words:
"How can you go and ask your male manager “you look so cute, do I stand a chance with you? Can I sit on your face” on the first day at your new job? Some of you are very bold but enjoy unnecessary wahala. Don’t you like your job? Now HR has been involved."
