I need advise or help if you can do for me

Hello I hope all members here are just fine as usual and if there is something wrong or you have problem may God be with you.

I'm new user of this site as you can see my details (if you can), I'm a young boy and my age is 21.

I have only mother, my dad died since 2007 when I was in standard 6, my mother is just woman who do small business like selling some small things, but she sent me to a good school (boarding schools) private schools, I went up to form 6 but I didn't finish because something happened (is a long story) but I didn't do my last exam.

Now I live in Dar because I decided to find a collage so that I can start my certificate studies but as I started my mother got some problems and she didn't continue to sell things and she went bankrupt (became more poor than we was before) so I stopped also to study.

Let me short the story... My intentions of writing here is I need to get a job... I real need to study but how can I study with ought having money? I was doing a job somewhere and my contract ended (3 months contract) and I started to find a new job but I didn't get any,

Please my life is very bad now, and my mother also need my help but I can't help her because I don't have job, if you can offer me any kind of job (legal job) even to be a house maid I will do it.

I know to use computer programs like Microsoft office, excel and publisher but I don't have certificates so that I can find a job to some companies caz I didn't finish school, please guys help me,
sorry because of a long story but please if anyone can advise me or help me just send me a private message and I will give you my details all details you want....and even to meet with me if you prefer.

Thank you so much and God bless you all.

Sorry to hear about your predicament.
You have two issues here;
- To earn a living and help your mum
- To study and gain qualification(s) which will help you gain employment.
In my opinion, given your situation it might be hard to DO both at the same time.You need to tackle the first issue first which will pave a way for sorting out the second issue.

My humble advise is for you to visit 'Ujasiriamali' section of this forum and on the search box search for 'threads' which talks about how you can start a business with as little amount as 30,000 -50,000 tshs OR with no money (by providing your service)
You have mentioned that you have Microsoft skills which can be a good starting point.
A lot of people can pay you if you offer your service by providing them with these skills.
Keep on searching on JF threads and you will find a lot of ideas and good people willing to help.
Remember opportunities are there although most of the time they are disguised as hard work so most people don't see them!
Just look where you can provide solutions for people's problems and gain financially while doing so.

Good luck!

Yes thank you for your advise, as you can see now I don't have a lot of people who I know that's why is very difficult for me to start business with a low capital, because for my little knowledge many kind of business which need small money you need to have at list some people who can support you, that's why I need to do jobs to some people who can pay me and when I get enough money for even a small business I will find business to do.... I say this because some people took advantage of me for not having a job and they advised me to do network marketing but because of my situation I didn't succeed and It cost me much that's why now I'm able even to do domestic work because I can't take it anymore I don't know why I think that business maybe is not for me that's why I need to study so that I can finish my school and maybe it will be simple at list for me to get good job, I know my situation now that's why I'm saying this..... But thank you for your advise I will consider it..

And for now I think is better for me to have job because it will help me to get money for my everyday cost and also I will save the money for my future studies because I'm ready to lost even 5 years for work until I get money for my studies.... How about this Mkuu... Advise me please

Getting a job without qualification and/or enough experience might be tricky.I think you need to be realistic

If you insist in getting a job first, then look for a voluntary work to gain experience so that your future employer might overlook your lack of qualification and employ you based on your experience.

But the question is, how are you going to survive(without earning money) while doing this voluntary job?

My advice remains as I have given you in my previous post!

good luck kiddo

thank you so much

We create our own luck/opportunities.
Some people are lucky enoigh to have relatives who help them with getting jobs or 'mtaji' to start a business.
But how about us who don't have either of these??
We can't sit down, cry and curse our misfortunes!
If opportunities are not there,we need to create them ourselves.

Most rich and successful people didn't inherit their fortune or gained their wealth easily.They had to work extremely hard, maybe they even did dead end jobs while scrimping and saving to educate themselves or learn a trade in order to do a business.
Some even failed and lost all their money in the process....but they picked themselves up and started again- because life is about learning! When we fail or loose money, we gain experience and become wiser!
Search and look for your passion - we are all good at something, then see how you can monitise it (to get enough money gain the qualification you are thinking of)
Start doing something small, surround yourself with good people who know more than you and God will show you the way out of your financial problems.
Just be open minded!
