In what is the official final episode of season 1, host, Diran discusses with another age-old friend, our guest, Chuma Asuzu, and they do quite some walking down memory lane. Chuma, an “ex-grad-lifer” as he is referred to in the episode talks about life three years after grad school, right from how it started, to the leaving home for a foreign, unfamiliar country, the challenges that sprung up, and how he maneuvered around them up till the point where he is now. Chuma also gives us some insight into his employment journey and the personal projects he’s currently working on. Another interesting line that this conversation toll is the attempt by Chuma to dispel certain misconceptions about employability and the hiring pool back in Nigeria. After doing this, Chuma tries to highlight what in his opinion are the actual problems and where he feels solutions would emerge.  He also doles out useful advice to aspiring and current grad-school students and people generally, drawing from his own life experience and practices. One thing to also note from this episode, which is also evident in the sort of camaraderie that our host, Diran, and Chuma share, is the importance of cultivating friendships and relationships, they usually come in very valuable at the least expected times. A bird told us that we may have saved the best episode for last(Lol) so you’ll do well to not miss out on this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grad-life-uncut/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grad-life-uncut/support
