*Another Highlight of Break into Tech Conference, Owerri: Ashley Immanuel's Session!*
Today, we're taking a closer look at the awesome session we had with a tech ecosystem leader, who is Cofounder & COO at Semicolon, Ashley Immanuel, at BiTT Conference Owerri, on SAT, 24th May, 2025.
Ashley shared some super valuable insights for anyone thinking about getting into tech, or even those already in it and looking to grow in thier career!
Ashley kicked things off by talking about something really important: figuring out your "why" and your purpose before you dive into a career.
She shared a bit about her own journey, from being a consultant at IBM and Google Business Services in the US, to an internship in PR which made her realize just wasn't the right fit for her.
Her big takeaway here? Don't get too hung up on a specific job title; focus more on where you want to go in the long term.
Now, if you're wondering if tech is for you, Ashley, with her experience at Semicolon, has seen people from all sorts of backgrounds absolutely crush it in the tech world. Her message is clear: anyone can succeed!
➡ She gave us some fantastic tips to keep in mind:
- Embrace a Growth Mindset: This means believing you can learn and improve, even if something seems tough right now.
- Be Curious and Learn by Doing: Don't be scared to just jump in and try things out!
- Seek Quality Information and Collaborate: Listen to good podcasts, follow reliable sources, and definitely connect with mentors, teachers, and coaches. They're super helpful!
Ashley also gave us a real dose of reality – the journey isn't always smooth sailing.
You're going to face some bumps and feel that discomfort that comes with growing, but those are actually crucial for long-term success.
So, don't be too hard on yourself! She also encouraged everyone to spend a little less time on social media, explore the awesome opportunities at Semicolon, and even come visit Semicolon Village whenever you're in Lagos.

BTW, what are you doing this Saturday?
Touch grass. Drink water. Message that friend you’ve been ghosting.
Let’s not lose the plot here.

Task: As a DEXA Certified Virtual Assistance Professional, how can you help Sarah?
(Tips to help your presentation:)

Ok... so the AI app I'm building is going to solve the problem that most tech job seekers are facing.
Especially with Remote jobs and Freelance gigs.
Not the problem of finding the jobs as many of you have guessed.
it's also not going to connect techies with jobs. nah!
Maybe we'll add that feature to our jobs platform on Jobs With DEXA (JWD, Remember ?) but that's not what this AI powered platform is about.
So here comes the big question in everyone's mind.
What does the AI powered app do?
The platform is going to help you Optimize what employers See and Get you hired faster.
It's a super intelligent platform that I am currently building and training with all the best knowledge and strategies that professionals across these platforms are hiding from you.
It will;
- Write, Revamp, Optimize and Give you an ATS Standard Resumé.
- Help you craft a client focused Upwork proposal. One that gets you invited to the interview. You'll stop submitting tastless proposals and wasting connects on Upwork.
- It will Help you write a badass job proposal letter.
- It will Analyse and Score your profile (LinkedIn, Upwork, etc). To let you know how to optimize it better or rate you.
- It will have a feature to look through your cover letter and resume for a specific job and give you live feedback as a recruiter.
Finally, there'll be a "Tech Clarity Assistant" feature on it, to help newbies get started in Tech, after talking to our AI. 😊
Basically everything you need to secure remote jobs and stop wasting your Upwork connects.
Before you apply, you'll just use our AI to check if you're fit for the job and enhance your chances by optimizing everything necessary in a matter of minutes.
Is there something you're finding difficult with regards getting remote jobs on LinkedIn or Freelance gigs on Upwork?
Tell me! Let me build Magic for you and add it to the features of our AI app. 🧘🏽😊

Dear Newbie Techie,
If the cost of data is a problem, and you're on a tight budget, consider going for yearly data bundles.
It’s cheaper in the long run.
Yes, you'll spend NGN100k+ at once, but when you do the math, you'll realize you're actually saving a whooping amount.
For example, a regular 1GB of Airtel data costs ₦500 for 1 day and ₦800 for 7 days.
Now compare that to the yearly plan of 650GB for ₦100,000.
That breaks down to roughly ₦153 per GB — less than a third of the daily rate.
The math speaks for itself:
Buying 650GB daily at ₦500/GB = ₦325,000
Buying it through the yearly bundle = ₦100,000
→ You save ₦225,000 just by planning ahead.
And Glo? Even better. Their 1TB (1,000GB) yearly plan goes for ₦150,000. That’s just ₦150 per GB.
So instead of constantly buying small bundles that disappear in hours or days, invest once and surf stress-free for a whole year.
You’re a techie now. Think long-term. Think smart.
Let your tools work without interruption, your downloads run overnight, and your updates flow without worry.
You can also do well to turn on metered connection on your pc so you can cut down pc data usage by roughly 60%. Yeah, you heard that correctly.
📌 Save more. Browse more. Learn more.
Go yearly. Your future self will thank you.
— From someone who learned the hard (and expensive) way.
