Narrating his ordeal, he revealed that a company’s once HR told him:
“You should be sleeping, we don’t want your type here (referring to my current walking impediment). You won’t give a good look to our business.”
Keep pushing, you will succeed
Two months ago, a company did not allow him to proceed to the next stage of physical assessment despite the fact that he was more qualified than most.
His new job at KPMG gives him the opportunity to work remotely and report to the office occasionally. Eromosele, therefore, advised people to keep pushing hard at their goal irrespective of trials.
