The Ultimate Question, Why Should Any One Hire You By Aruosa Osemwegie.
This question, ‘Why Should Anyone Hire You’? is the bedrock of a quality preparation for employment. It is a question to be answered now and always…. Success does not happen without some degree of internal and external struggles. These restrictions usually come in form of limitations imposed by the self, others or the environment; and it is to the extent that you overcome them that you will be free, become and succeed.

So instead of just working to make paintings that were mainly decorative, I developed and applied my artistic side to graphic design (branding businesses, making logos, etc), 3D design (signage design and building, furniture design and building).This aspect of art had a more stable demand as businesses need creative marketing design to enhance their brand, products and sales.
