Can one get a teaching job abroad from linkedln?
Samcent:
LinkedIn is helpful depending on your skillset, work experience and the industry/sector you are in.

I have never gotten an offer via LinkedIn, but I know persons who got offers from organizations based in Nigeria and even overseas via LinkedIn.

Hello.
What are these skills in education?
BrutusOj:
You have a degree in Education and you dont want to teach? Everybody cannot be an IT professional. Improve your CV by learning skills in education, if you are good at teaching Chemistry and have 21st century teaching skills and good in edtech, big schools will value you, from there you can source for NGOs that are into educational programmes. The goal now should be to get experience in real-time teaching and learning.

Hello.
Do u know how one can get a job role in radio?
HabeebKunn:
See the image below to prove that people randomly DM me after they find or view my profile for digital marketing opportunities. I just updated my profile, education and work experience. However, I have over six years of experience and most times, I will be working with 2 or more companies cos they sometimes allow me to work from home. You need to pick a specific role, do an internship, get a few course certifications, and follow through. LinkedIn has free courses, you can also Google courses you can do for free. I mostly do Coursera courses. Oh, I don't have much money to pay for courses in dollars. I request financial aid for most of the courses I do on Coursera. I guess the problem is, many people have B.Sc like you. You need to give them more reason to pick you. I hail ooo

Had to clean those people's names for anonymity.

The last two jobs I got before leaving Naija were from LinkedIn. A friend is currently sealing up an offer for a monthly pay of more than 1M and it was on Linkedin that the HR reached out to him. Just revamp your LinkedIn page and keep it active. Also keep your engagements strictly professional.

Above all, make God favour your efforts

There must be something which you are not doing rightly.

1. Check the quality of your CV. If it is not ATS compliant, then you might not be getting the desired job.

2. Do you have the required experience and qualifications for the positions you are applying for?

3. What are you doing with your LinkedIn account? If your LinkedIn account is optimized and you are active, employers or recruiters will locate you themselves.

4. Do you have any certification?
Re: Linkedin, Indeed And Others Are They Real And Useful? by Love800(m): 4:19pm On Jan 10
Alright.
Awesome!
GRACEGLORY:




The Resumé: records the past. It's all about past experience, schooling, and skills developed. It tells employers what the applicant has taken away from the past. A resumé only promotes where you've been and what you've done.

but are left without an idea of what is to come. One-page proposals look to the future.

Proposal is a detailed document that outlines why you're a good fit for the company, the problem that you have observed they have, and how you can solve it with your skills or gifts. It’s just another way to write to a company, explaining how your skills, experience, etc. could help the company in solving problems or developing further, and asking them to bring you onboard.

If they buy into your proposal, you are able to state your conditions to be agreed upon. But resume subject you to employers.

Make sure you have TRCN certification of you want to get a teaching job abroad.

Don't forget to always apply for jobs through LinkedIn jobs. LinkedIn job is more reliable than jobs posted by people on LinkedIn.
Re: Linkedin, Indeed And Others Are They Real And Useful? by Love800(m): 5:38pm On Jan 10

I haven't gotten a single job interview on LinkedIn and indeed, the few ones are got are from LinkedIn and a teaching job.
The teaching job is either very far from my place or a very poor salary! Already, I lost interest in teaching even before this time.

I went for an interview in ifo Ogun state, a government approved private secondary school, and the principal proudly informed me that they pay graduates 30K.. This school celebrated her 23rd year anniversary recently and you're paying graduates 30k?? And you expect me to leave SANGO to Ifo, just to take 30k he was even requesting for my original result and referees!

I took my loses and left, after I assured them that I will resume on Monday (yesterday), right now I'm still job hunting but I'm actually not interested in teaching anymore, maybe in Lagos they pay well, definitely not here.

The other jobs I applied for like, sales marketing, receptionist, virtual receptionist and so on, none ever replied me.

Am I doing something different? I am new to job hunting so how do y'all find and locate jobs?

Thanks for your replies
I urge you to restart writing again, but this time, try and write about what is in demand eg. scarce IT guides and tutorials, you must not write a 50 page book to make money, a small but concise write-up is enough. Then on how to monetize your book do online or even radio adverts.
Finally for you to get job on LinkedIn, you must standout, you must know alot about your field, let me give you one secret: If you can make yourself important offline then your LinkedIn profile will be contacted for jobs even without you applying for one. Let me break the word "make yourself important" down. Now for you to be important to numerous employers you must have either one or even two of these qualities
1. You are a threat to their business or organization. (One example of this is a young man called John Wu. This Chinese developed a free and open source Android application called "Magisk", this application can be used to root any Android device without any form of detection. Normally if you root an Android device some apps will detect the rooted device and they will automatically stop working and exit. So after seeing the ability of this young man Google Inc., the makers of Android employed him in 2021.)
2. You are well known or you just attained stardom in your field (One example of this is a UK young man called Marcus Hutchins, he stopped the Hushpuppi ransomware called WannaCry. I am confident to tell you that he works for multiple companies and even UK secret intelligence service GCHQ.)

I used to be a writer😂😂.. I wanted you to read to the end before you reply me,
Can you list the red-hot digital skill I can learn in one year? Thanks

Bro writers are cashing out real big, while you dey dull yourself like this, all this content creator don't you know they are people like you?

Anyway go YouTube and learn copywriting, and act of persuasion, when you're done, rebrand your Facebook, Instagram, linkedin and twitter profile with your writing skills also start applying for remote jobs either on Fiverr, Upwork or via cold email etc. Believe me by this time next year your life go change for better. if you wan finish ham add digital marketing (social media marketing, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, content marketing) with this set of digital skill bro you're blown for life.

There is something called LINKEDIN JOBS and it is different from the ones posted by people on their LinkedIn pages.

It should be on the bottom right side of your LinkedIn app.

It’s funny when I read certain post like this ,you don’t really need a job ,learn digital marketing.

Few Tips.Start with YouTube

1.Choose to sell a digital product or physical product (source on Jiji)
2.Learn how to run paid facebook advert
3.Learn how to design sales page using Wordpress

You can start this while job hunting,you will employ more hands within 3 to 6 months once you’re focused.

I work full time in UK and I still have more than 10 workers running my e-commerce business in Nigeria .
Starting is the most difficult aspect ,you will be fine .

Thanks for this...

In as much as i enjoy and appetite your analogy, i must say the examples given are far fetched and unrealistic,
The person in question is a Chemistry Edu, are you implying that he should develop an atomic bomb for him to be seen as a treat grin
or he should rather develop a vaccine for the next pandemic shocked

In all its good to have a skill that makes one stand out.

Then if this guy in question can't make anything meaningful with Chemistry Edu then let him switch to other productive ventures. Confining oneself to only one trade is suicidal.
