Meet Kemi

Hi there!

I am ‘Kemi Onadiran (careerswithkemi). I’m a seasoned, C-Level, Agile HR professional career coach and an author with over 15 years of exceptional experience. A trusted advisor to organizations and career professionals. I am the Visionnaire behind careerswithkemi, a career platform that has helped numerous Nigerian graduates and professionals get their desired jobs and achieve clarity in their careers to unleash and optimize their full potentials. I bring a transformative approach to leadership, talent development, and career empowerment. My passion for agile methodologies extends beyond HR to encompass a dedication to guiding professionals toward achieving their full potential in dynamic, ever-evolving business landscapes.           

As a C-Level Agile HR professional, I have brought strategic leadership and progressive HR initiatives to the forefront, driving organizational transformation, fostering agility, and advocating for employee development. I have successfully integrated agile coaching methodologies into HR practices, supporting talent development, performance management, and organizational restructuring with a focus on empowering individuals to adapt and thrive in changing work environments.

Well, my vision was birthed in January 2019, when I launched my Instagram platform ‘@careers_with_kemi’. Having interviewed well over 2000 young jobseekers at the time, I became really concerned about a trend that was consistent with young graduates and some professionals at the various capacities I worked in.

Many needed CLARITY & DIRECTION in their careers.

With that in mind, I was determined to help young jobseekers and professionals via my platform which I was able to achieve with valuable career tips, job referrals, available vacancies, mentoring and clarity calls. This platform has helped over 10,000 job seekers land better jobs. Isn’t it amazing?!

During one-on-one clarity calls, over time, I have come to realize five (5) challenges that are consistent with young career enthusiasts and professionals. They include:

  1. Getting a job after school
  2. Acing job interviews
  3. Getting promotions at work
  4. Career clarity
  5. Landing remote jobs

    I have put together an invaluable compendium of useful, practicable and relatable tips, nuggets and facts based on my rich experience and extensive research in my book: ROOKIE 101: a quick guide to transitioning into the labour market and succeeding on your first job, and other books I have authored.

I have mentored many and seen them start, sustain and excel in their various careers.

This is my passion. This is my calling!
