I sent you a pm

Thanks for the insight.

I've taken a couple of courses on Scrum and aced the scrum assessment - 100% consistently...Now I feel ready and confident to take the main exam.

As you noted, junior scrum roles are not quite easy to come by and the major scrum roles require years of experience.

Question: How can one make an entry to the role; are there scrum volunteering opportunities? I've watched a lot of videos on getting started as a new scrum master but they're not detailed.

Please share more insights on making entry to the world of scrum.

The only accepted po certificate is from scrum (because scrum made the term PO) other agile framework adopted it. But if you want to do other courses to get the certification- sure do you.

There’s no acceptable PM body (at least in the Uk), but if you believe the course you’re doing on Udemy will be used by recruiters, sure do you.

Also, PMs are previously very experienced BAs, POs, DMs, Agile Coaches, Prject Mgrs. there is no direct path to PM unless you start as a junior (not many companies employ junior roles).

P.S; in the UK (unlike America) certificates don’t get you a job, experience does. Certificates only give you the knowledge you need to answer interview questions well.

But I am not seeing ensuite House for rent in that area.

You mean a room by room let? Burnham is not really set up for HMOs as it's essentially a holiday location. If you drive, you might have to live in Weston Super Mare and commute in. There are buses but it doesn't cater well for people who work mainly because most of the people living there are retirees.

Haha yeah one less tax payer. I considered getting lawyers to try again, but they said that I’ll need to be in the country for another 5 years with the route I’ll take. Been here 7 years now, I’m not interested in being classed a temporary for another 5 years lol. I can’t keep being used for tax purposes only to be discarded if they change immigration rules

To be honest, it’s just because I don’t like it here and want to try something different. Staying is not hard.

Have you considered NZ or Australia? Be warned that it is very very far from anywhere else. I always say NZ is what Nigeria would be like if it was classed as developed. It has lots of developing country vibes and attitudes and of course lots of opportunities for everyone. Once you have international experience, the world is your oyster! A work to residency visa gives you residency after 2 years and PR after 2 years so 4 years in total. Salaries are good (husbot and I have both doubled our UK wages) which will be frustrating for us when we return to the UK in 2 years time. It also has a small emerging Nigerian community (less than 1000 of us o!)

Good Evening my people... I got a parking charge notice on a car i bought a month ago but had to fill form V62 to get the log book. I parked the car in the parking lot apparently not mine as mine was always occupied waiting for the log book to come and tax the car. I need advice should i appeal the ticket or just make payment and move on... Has anyone appealed such case and one?

You need experience. Try applying for a project assistant, project support or business support role. Use it to get in because you need project (preferably software or delivery experience).

Due to having such a certification, you’ll be “overqualified” for that role but if you’re lucky to have a greedy interviewer (like me), you’ll be in.

Stay 6-12 months and gain confidence/experience. that’s all you need for a proper scrum role elsewhere (don’t stay With the previous employer, they’ll keep making it look like they did you a favour).

Be patient. Start small. You won’t even remember the struggle when you’re turning down 65-75k jobs. As far as you’re in tech, you’ll win in the end.

Well, I informed the forum last week that I would be keeping you updated this week on my Driving Theory test which I failed last week and paid for it to be retaken this week… Look no further, I DID WELL TODAY…. Now on to practical… Anyone with guidance on how to excel on the practical should not endeavor to share..

Gratitude to the man that suggest I buy The Yellow Theory Test Pro, it seems as though they copied from the app to the website…

You are welcome

For practical search the thread for DGN driving and Ashley Neil.

Watch loads of videos on YouTube

10-20 hours of lessons should be enough.

Look at mirrors

Plan while driving

Use indicators


Mirrors before indicators

Does paypal pay in 3 do a hard or soft credit check before approval? Does anyone know please?

Soft check. I closed my Nigerian PayPal account when I got here and opened a new one with my UK address with the exact same details (email address and password). Just different cards on it. It’s really easy to get. Also explore Klarna and Clear Pay. Some stores accept them as well.

That is really awful in a way.

Did you park the car ? Yes
Did you have a valid permit to park ? No

Assuming you parked your car,in your designated parking slot...... Without displaying a valid permit, you would still receive a contravention notice .........


Just pay the lesser discounted rate and move on ...... Lesson learnt ........

If you appeal, the possibility of winning the appeal is 0%........

Don't be an Oliver twist, the certificate from your church, is not a legally binding document........

The one from your church, only satisfies your pastor, wife, yourself, your family and possibly God ........

Many Churches are licensed and issue Government Marriage certificates that are legally binding.

Anyone with a link of who can help with the prove of fund? Kindly quote me with your answer 08059290962

Unfortunately, no

Please can you confirm the price of passport renewal?

And apart from the application for renewal cost, am I paying for any other thing?

Thank you.

I am having some issues with Regards to Project Management jobs. Most of the project coordinator/support jobs i have been applying keep rejecting my application. I am beginning to think maybe I am overqualified. Most are usually silent on first degree, some will even state GCSE. Meanwhile I display my Masters degree and Prince 2 Practitioner which I got few years ago in Naija.

Do you think that I should remove all of these higher qualifications from my project management job search when it was stated in the job advert?

What happened when I hid those qualifications and they HR does a Google profile on me and behold my LinkedIn profile props up with my full qualifications and years of experience? Na that one dey fear me pass? Won't it amount to dishonesty in the job?

Abeg make una help me look into this ....

It depends on the type you want. The 10 years standard e-passport costs $230 with an administrative fee of $12. The 5 years passport costs about $110 or thereabout.

A colleague from Iran asked me to send him some Nigerian music to listen to. Dude really seems to like Nigeria.

I gave him Peru by Fireboy, Time to party by Flavour and No one like you by PSquare. Baba saw me this morning and said he was hearing Peru Peru, that what is Peru. I just weak. How do I answer this kind of question.

Inconsistency in citing verifiable information might lead to suspicion on a recruiter's part, especially considering the part of the world you come from. Mention everything verifiable you've got, especially if acquisition of the master's, if left out, would lead to a gap you've got to explain when the security screening people start their long waka.

Qualifications don't really matter here, I could say apply for jobs which require experience you know you've got, irrespective of whether they're entry level or not (i.e. even if the job ad states minimum qualification of NVQs or something like that under essential, but mentioned something like "demonstrable experience of having managed a project in so and so field or with a spend of so and so hundreds of thousands of pounds", you put in for that, for instance).

Again, recruitment is also a highly subjective matter, some recruiters or TAQ partners might open application files from their recruitment app and immediately click through names they don't like. Others pay attention, some might genuinely feel that foreign (read "non-developed country" experience might not transfer well, others might think overqualification would not allow you to fit in if given the role, others might feel that it might be an asset to bring someone like you in so you can grow in the job. Some might immediately deduce your backstory ("Oh, this is a foreigner recently arrived, trying to start off in the job market in any related role", others might not or might not care.

Basically, put in what you have and let it play out from there.

The wait for T2 visa switch outcome from T4 is tiring. This is the 6th week and I hope I get approval by May 13.

To dash the £500 for priority too much.
