My Career Dreams of becoming a Customer Service/Operations Analyst became a Reality After The RKY Data Analysis Bootcamp
Have you ever felt like you don’t belong, no matter how hard you try or how capable you are? That’s the quiet whisper of imposter syndrome, a sneaky voice telling you, “You’re not enough.”
It’s not just in your head—it’s a barrier that holds many talented people back. The fear of being “found out” or not measuring up stops dreams in their tracks. It makes you second-guess opportunities, shy away from challenges, and settle for less, even when you deeserve more.
But here’s the truth: imposter syndrome lies. It hides your potential, keeps you stuck, and makes you forget how much you bring to the table. Breaking free is no easy task but possible—with the right tools, mindset, and support.
For Nneka, this wasn’t just a passing feeling—it was a constant roadblock that had stopped her from pursuing her dream role for years. Until one day, everything changed.

Before the Bootcamp: Olu”s Story
Olu had always been passionate about problem-solving and creating better processes, but the thought of applying for a role as a Customer Service/Operations Analyst felt out of reach. Despite years of customer service experience and a strong work ethic, she convinced herself she didn’t have what it took to thrive in an analytical role.
“Who am I to call myself an analyst?” she’d think.
Even when Olu looked at job descriptions, she’d focus on the qualifications she didn’t have rather than the wealth of transferable skills she brought to the table. Each time she considered applying, imposter syndrome whispered louder: “You’re not smart enough. Stick to what you know.”
But a chance conversation changed everything.
Discovering RKY Careers Data Analysis Bootcamp
One day, Olu was catching up with a friend when the topic of career growth came up. Her friend mentioned RKY Careers’ Data Analysis Bootcamp and the incredible impact it had made on her own journey.
The bootcamp was led by Rukayat Alabi, a respected figure in the field who had built a reputation for empowering people to break into competitive roles. Olu was intrigued but hesitant.
“I’m not a tech person,” she thought. “I’ll just embarrass myself.”
Thankfully, her friend wouldn’t let her off the hook. She encouraged Olu to give it a go, reminding her that growth happens outside your comfort zone. With nervous excitement, Olu signed up.
Bootcamp Beginnings: From Fear to Resilience
Walking into the RKY Careers Bootcamp, Olu felt like a fish out of water. Concepts like data visualisation, Excel dashboards, and trend analysis seemed overwhelming. The group projects pushed her to the edge of her comfort zone.
“I don’t belong here,” she thought during one particularly tough session.
Her doubts reached their peak during the project phase, where participants had to work on a real-world data problem. Olu froze. She questioned every idea she had and worried about how her input would be perceived.
But the instructors at RKY Careers had seen it all before. They created a supportive environment that encouraged collaboration, questions, and even mistakes. Slowly but surely, Olu found her footing.
One breakthrough moment came when she presented a data-driven solution during her group’s final project. The team praised her insight, and for the first time, Olu began to see herself as someone who belonged in the world of data.
Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Landing a Customer Service/Operations Analyst Role
The real magic of the bootcamp wasn’t just the technical skills Olu gained—it was the way those skills built her confidence.
RKY Careers didn’t directly teach Olu how to overcome imposter syndrome, but every supportive word, every nudge to speak up, and every accomplishment chipped away at her self-doubt.
When Olu landed an interview for a Customer Service/Operations Analyst role, she approached it with newfound courage. The interview process had three challenging phases, each requiring her to showcase analytical skills and present solutions under pressure.
Thanks to the frameworks and confidence she gained from the bootcamp, Olu aced every phase. When she got the call offering her the role, it wasn’t just a career milestone but a victory over years of self-doubt.
