Ghanaian singer and socialite Sister Derby has opened up about her struggles to find a job after completing her master’s degree in the UK.
During a segment on the Big Conversation aired on 3 Music TV, the artist, known for her hit “Kakalila Love,” recounted the difficulties she faced after losing a £700 internship.
Despite submitting numerous job applications, she has been unable to secure a position, highlighting the challenges many graduates encounter in the job market.
“I applied for so many jobs, but I couldn’t get one. So, I spoke to one of my professors, and she told me that due to the recession in the UK, they are employing citizens before other nationalities.
“I went to so many job interviews in big publishing companies, but I wasn’t called… I registered with a lot of different agencies for jobs, but I wasn’t called too, so I decided to come back to Ghana,” she said.
Sister Derby shared that despite attending several job interviews with prominent publishing companies, she did not receive any job offers. Additionally, she registered with various employment agencies, but her efforts yielded no results.
“When I decided to return to Ghana and look for a job here, I happened to be on the last Ghana Airwaves flight, I think somewhere in January 2010,” she disclosed.
