Hello house. I actually want to ask if anyone knows if it's possible for a Nigerin gradute ho just won the DV lottery to get a good job in the US to support himself. Cos I'm actually wondering if it's possible getting a better job other than the usual menial jobs (waiter, driver, sales attendt e.t.c.). Please I need a reply.

you have to start from someone before you can think of hunting for a better job, abi you won start working in chase bank as soon as you get to the state ni ?

hmmm intresting

Bros hw much is paid for dis menial job per hour in us.

mikkyangel: Yes,it is possible, but like d other gu y said,u have to start from somewhere.I tell u somany ,9ja guys here are doing well.1st u may need to take ur result and transcripts for evaluation after which dey will tell u which level u belong to. I have a friend in Baltimore maryland who came with HND,his got a good job earning over $20 per hours

Thanks bro, nw I got an idea nd some credible info. Thanks muchos.

It's certainly possible - First you have to be on ground. You may need to do menial jobs for a few months to get things sorted out. Also, more importantly, it depends on your background. Most "real" professional jobs will require a diploma/certificate from the US. Unfortunately, most companies do not give much regard to Degrees from Nigeria.

it is possible like most of the people have said. I would advice you to maybe (MAYBE) send your resume to a head hunter depending on the type of degree you have and see if they can find you a job or at least they will instantly give you feedback about your resume and what it is that's missing.

Hw much is paid 4 dis menial job per hour ?

different state has different pay rate cos cost of living is diff . i live in Tennessee and the pay rate start from 9.50$ its depend on the company ,some company pay you 13 to 15 at start and once they hire you they will pay you more

Tanks bros. Am coming to texas, hope dere is enough job & any idea abot dere wages per hour

@Gunners4u i have no ideal how much their pay is in texas. if na texas u dey go and you no mind to drive caby . you will surely make good money .

minimum wage in Texas is $7.75 meaning if you get a legit job with proper documents no one can pay you less than that per hour (Mcdonalds, burger king, target, walmart etc). Texas cost of living is cheap from what i heard so if you found a $10 to $15 an hour job you should be fine. But working two jobs while sharing an aprtment should be your plan. That way you can save money quick and find your way.

Texas is really big and since you are a new comer you would want to be in a big city so you can take advantage of public transit because the other areas might have public transit but they wont be reliable. Which is why most families have at least two cars incase one breaks down so they can still get to work.

i wish you the best

Tanks omega, am staying wit my uncle which has been in usa over 10 yrs through DV lottery. I won dv lottery too dis yr
