It’s as simple as ABC

Don’t form what you not. Communicate in the best way that you have been used to too. They will have to adapt to you intonation.

In cases where you have to follow verbal communications, tell your colleague, boss or customer, to make communication formal, and that way, you will be better position to act since you good with reading.

Just be you, don’t let anything change! I did it across 3 continents.

Why would your friend quit a stable audit job where he/she earns $2100 net per month for a remote sales job where there is no job security?

This makes no sense to me.

Makes a lot of sense.
1. He's paid in dollars so depreciating naira no go affect am.
2. $3,500 is more than $2100. This one is pretty obvious.
3. He's a professional. When you're a professional, you can stop practicing for as long as you want and resume once you're ready. So even if he loses the remote job, he can always go back to 9-5 when he feels like.

ecolime:

Colleagues at work I get. Those aren't much. About 40 in all and dispersed across different time zones.

Don't forget I said he will be dealing with customers as well.

C-level of corporates basically with diverse tongues

Same rule applies. My firm is a B2B and I spend more time interracting with business owners.

You are funny and naive

How do people make bucks if there are no challenges?

Why do you get your hair cut

😂😂.

Bloody opportunist! So you can't render the slightest assistance without looking to turn a profit?

I know the real motive why this thread was created was to brag about how much dollars so so so and so person makes while living in Nigeria, and not that nonsense you wrote as topic

Nairalanders eh 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

KyleJason:


That's why most times, Nigerians don't love themselves because they hoard information and not wanting others to succeed like them.

There's no love in the country.

The milestone is for serious and interested ones and not for someone like you who doesn't want others to succeed.

If you doubt me, I can send you my offer letter from the US company.

Take your scamming ass out of here. 6m a month, yet you're creating threads up and down for 10k.

Jewessgratitud3:


LoL.. say what slowy? you're not getting the point. Ok for instance if I say " shalay" you now asked me to say it slowly and I say " sha - lay" will you still understand what I'm trying to say?
Oya, tell me what I'm trying to say. I'm waiting....

Communication takes place when those involved understand each other. So I do understand whatever you're saying and I'd ask you to phonetically spell it.

I troll my co workers with an Indian accent from a call center
They find it so fckn hilarious

I spelt it phonetically or let me say, I wrote it the way it is pronounced. Just give me the English word I'm trying to pronounce here.

Ok.. give me the English spelling of this word.. pronunced " yot".

A friend just got an international remote job but he is worried about communication with Native English speakers.

He aced the 4 stage interviews and has been given an offer. The pay is good considering the current exchange rate. He was offered $42,000 per annum.

Presently, he works with an audit firm and makes N1.9M NET monthly plus other side businesses.

The role was strictly for Inbound Pre-Qualification and Sales when he applied but at the final stage of the interview, adjustment was made in the JD which includes outbound sales.

Please note he understands and speaks English fluently but he has issues with thick American accents. The position is a Business Development role and it involves conversing extensively with Americans.

Any advise for him?

abeg how do I get this remote jobs? Am a conflict resolution expert

Lol

Remembered my first time😂.

No big deal there to be sincere.

Speak slowly and don’t rush your words.

Also most times I gesticulate a lot when speaking.

Just a matter of time, you will get accustomed to everything

I always go to work with a translator

Evestar200:
Mine doesn't require speaking with anyone. unless my boss wants to speak with us and we all speak different languages.

You need to know what it means to spell phonetically for you to understand what I'm saying.

See this man, people are getting remote jobs here in Nigeria. A relative of mine works with Clipboard health as a Financial Analyst. His netpay is $3,100 monthly.

Guess what? The guy has never travelled out of Nigeria. He doesn't even have an international passport.

Talented people are hitting it big oo... Just skill up, seek information, keep applying and pray make God pick your call.

babajeje123:

Well... I didn't understand what you meant by spelling phonetically which was why I used a simple term you can understand. By the way there's nothing like spelling phonetically. I think what you meant was transcribing the words with phonetic symbols also known as transcription.

Hope we're still on the same page though.

Very simple may seem ludicrous but it's perfectly rational.

Spend a huge amount of time watching Hollywood and USA derived films, you will be able to key into the differing accents from West Coast to East Coast , North and South.

And if you can learn a bit of Spanish, l started speaking Spanish from Living in Miami.

$3500 gross. Wont he pay tax?

Even as a professional is it as easy as that to get a good job. There are probably a thousand professionals just like him waiting for each job like his.

This is really a topic?

Let him form the habit of watching lots of American movies and documentaries. It'll help him a lot. Not only that, he should pay special attention on how they pronounce certain words. If I were him, I will go as far as recording their voices whenever they are acting.

Hope this helps.

Please what skill can I learn to be able to get remote jobs

Ndaife:


Please what skill can I learn to be able to get remote jobs

Coding, Web Design, Programming, Software Development, Copywriting, etc.

This is a non-issue. Just turn on captioning. Reading and listening would make comprehension better.
He can always go back over the conversation's captioning history if he utilises software like Microsoft Teams. Listening to thick American accent can cause fatigue. Speaking from experience.

Inbound and outbound confusing. Is he working from Nigeria ?

ghettowriter:


Which remote job are you into bro?

My job isn't actually remote, it's an oil exploration company.

My comment was based on the challenges you might encounter working with foreigners..... One thing I have discovered is that you either try to speak like them or they speak like you before effective communication can take place.
