Jobs I've Held
There are many decisions to make when searching for a career. Along the journey, I have held different positions at various companies and there are various leadership styles I have come across while working under different managers.
My very first encounter with a manger was when I was doing my National Youth Service in my home country Nigeria. The National Youth Service is a compulsory one year scheme organized by my country.

During my time in the N.Y.S.C scheme I worked with the Ogun State government of Nigeria as a library assistant with one of the governmental libraries in the government house. As a library assistant, my functions included; helping individuals find, and use library materials and resources. It also included working behind the scenes, obtaining and classifying resources for the library. In addition to being a library assistant, I performed administrative services which included overseeing the management of the library. Government agencies, museums, law firms, corporations and professional organizations often maintain their own libraries. I was involved in collecting, analyzing, and helping others use information specific to the organization. The type of manager I worked under while partaking in my national youth service had a kind of leadership style known as the laissez-faire. A Laissez-Faire kind of leadership style is one in which the manager provides little or no direction, and gives employees as much freedom as possible. I believe she was more of a laissez-faire kind of leader because she provided me with little or no direction, and she also gave me all the freedom available. Due to the fact that she provided little or no direction, it made my job more difficult. The difficulty in the job surfaced because I had no experience working in a library. It meant I had to go do
