na weyrey you be for thinking everything handled in lunatic way that you are

don't mind him. I just wanted my issue resolved. I told the lady who helped me to reorientate her staff. It's a system issue. People are not checked

People are looking for jobs while the employed keep toying with the ones they have.

I had a bitter experience with a CC of an insurance bank . I sent money since last month to my insurance account and sent receipt to the CC on Whatsapp to confirm.

Cc replied after a week that it's yet to reflect. I had to send a mail to my bank and they confirmed the transaction was successful and even sent the session id of the transaction.

I sent all these to the CC and got no reply for over 3 weeks. Sent a mail ..no response. I was frustrated.

Luckily for me, I sell some items online and a customer told me to deliver items at same insurance bank address. It struck me because that's the same insurance bank I was using and I knew she may be a staff.

I messaged her and detailed my issues of the payment I made a month ago. In less than 3 days, the issue was resolved and my payment confirmed. I told her of what the CC did.

CC immediately responded to me on Whatsapp, apologized for the delayed response and confirmed my payment.

Now my question is
What if I didn't meet this customer that helped me? My money will just go like that..

Please if you're employed, take your job seriously and stop any form of eye service.

Baba don't be tribalistic. If na Anambra babe nko

u have any?

I've not been lucky in relationships. Now I'm trying to get married and it seems all the ladies I meet have a red flag.

I created a thread on my last relationship
https://www.nairaland.com/8324668/wedding-plans-suspended-advice

My uncle referred one to me and she's subtly billing already. Saying her phone hangs and she doesn't take calls only Whatsapp. I'll call and she won't pick up and she'll say hello on Whatsapp.

I have prayed and fasted.

I just need a 25-28 yo igbo lady preferably imo state that's very reasonable

Am I the problem or is it a general thing for Nigerian women?

Hey chat me on 0809 600 2981. I see you are frustrated in your search to get remote jobs. what have you learnt in data analytics? what are you skilled at? Have you gotten your own portfolios?

ok wil do

calculusx:
Which of the Tech field are you interested in? Let me see how I can be of help.

data analytics..I need an entry level role

Namaster:
Data Analysis is SATURATED because everybody and their Mummies have gotten into it.

Anybody who can write a SUMIF Function in Excel thinks he's a data analyst. And they'd apply for the same job as you.

Even if you are more competent, your application is bound to get lost in the sea of other applications. And if you don't have a tech or maths related degree, that's another HURDLE.

You have 2 options:

1. SPECIALISE:
You can do this by selecting a specialisation like health or finance and streamlining your data analysis skill to that area of specialisation.

You will need to learn industry lingos and data requirements that are relevant to that industry.

Most sector that require data analysis in Nigeria is a SHIIITSHOW. The most mature of them is the banking and finance sector.

So I'd advise you to specialise in Financial Analysis. CFAInstitutedotorg has valuable resources that'll help uou.

Plus, you can BOLSTER your CV with ICAN certification.

2. GO DEEP:
Here you just bury yourself deep into data analysis until you come out at the other end which is Machine Learning.

ML is an integral part of AI and data analysis is an integral part of ML.

Those are your 2 options.

By the way, DISCARD the idea of getting a remote job. Most companies in Nigeria don't offer remote jobs. Maybe hybrid but NOT fully remote.

And NO foreign company will entrust their SENSITIVE business data to a Nigerian living in Nigeria.

For other people looking to get into tech, RESEARCH and choose a tech skill that's NOT dependent on getting a job.

Learn a tech skill that'll set you on the path of entrepreneurship.

Because the tech market is still a JOB market with all the problems that face a typical job market. Lile layoffs, job scarcities and low payments.

Learn a skill that'll help you BUILD for YOURSELF.

thanks for this. Thank God I learned e-commerce earlier. That's what is sustaining me. I want to study product marketing. I believe no knowledge is a waste. Data Analysis will still be useful to me someday.

Ynix:
they are not hard you are going about it the wrong way

What is the right way? Someone might find it useful

incogni2o:
Maybe the Tech bubble has busted, but with the Job positings I'm seeing now, I don't think so.

On the other hand, why not work on some projects with some already established Data Analyst.

You know the world we live now , Companies aren't Patient enough to hire rookies.

Get some projects unto your resume.

if I didn't have a portfolio with projects..I wouldn't post this. I have 6 solid projects yet no job.

markcute:
85% of tech jobs in Nigeria is based on recommendations
Only few can be gotten via normal job applications process

it's useless posting the vacancies then since it's based on recommendations.

The noise about tech got into my head and I quit my 8-5 job. Though the 8-5 job was becoming stressful and toxic, I couldn't cope and had to leave.

I had saved some funds and learned data analytics. Now here is where the issue lies.

I've applied to more than a thousand jobs and I keep getting rejections.

My hope was to get a remote job but I'm not seeing it coming.

Is tech all about noise or it's just saturated?

While learning , we were told a data analyst earns 30k USD annually. I'm just getting tired and frustrated

SavageBoy:
Many persons who enroll in programs like Alx, Altschool, and co often have unrealistic expectations about what to expect in the field of tech.

I was among the first batch of students that registered for Altschool. A lot of folks who enrolled for the program had really massive constructive imaginations.

Some were talking about getting a $10K/month job after graduation. One even said he can't wait to start working in Google by the time he gets his Altschool diploma 😂

When th program began, we just saw that it wasn't worth the social media hype it had. Many of us had to voluntarily stop to be more effective in our learning.

I don't know of Alx, but from the little I've gotten from folks who took the program, I think they did a great job. At least were much better than Altschool.

All in all, success in tech still boils down to one's personal effort, dedication, and consistency. I don't really subscribe to these naija bootcamps or whatever they call them.

so what do you recommend...how can one get a tech job...I did data Analysis and it's been tough

Join JobZoneNG on telegram.

thanks

I've done all this. Yet keep getting rejections. The career is saturated and competitive

Getting a job is the koko. It's a saturated niche

The problem with this data analytics is a bit saturated. Getting a job is a hard nut to crack. Ive studied it. I need where i can put it into good use.

Can you please help me with an entry level Data Analyst job

DataAlchemist:
In short you don't need to leave your initial background before breaking into tech, and when you choose data analysis do not be tempted to move higher by learning artificial intelligence or deep learning without having solid experience as a junior data analyst..The data you learn with online, is entirely different to the volume of data you will have to deal with out there in the real-world.. as an R user I will say why learn caret when you can't even work with tidyverse package??

I'm done learning data analytics. Please can you help me with an entry level Data Analyst job? I've applied so much that I'm exhausted

Bookies are neither Father Christmas nor are they running charity organizations. You can't make long term profits with betting. The odds are easily stacked against you. You can only exploit the bookies when they react too slowly or make mistakes, and they will punish you for that by closing your accounts or refusing to pay you.

how come Mr bankz win millions on sporty

Thank you all for your advice. It meant a lot to me.

I prayed over everything and decided to chat my babe up since we have not spoken for 3 days. I did that for 2 reasons:

1. To maintain communication and let her know we aren't enemies

2. To know her mindset and that of her family.

Babe was trying to gaslight me that I'm the cause of everything and I broke her heart and hopes. That I disrespected her mom by arguing on the phone and hanging up. She refused to digest the contents of the argument even when I made her to understand she lied to me and she should make up with her dad's family.

She said she's not begging me to marry her and her family has the right to do the TM anywhere they choose.

I decided to keep mute to avoid escalating the issue.

The wedding plans is finally TERMINATED.

Openair:
Since you guys are from same state, I think you both are familiar with your traditions. But I'm curious;
- Why do they have to wait for you to finalise the dad's rite? (abi na so the tradition be )
- It's clear they don't want the dad's family to be involved, do you know about her childhood and all, cause in some families, papa family fit no send d children at all but when's it's time for marriage they wan come siddon for high table...I think you should have a conversation with her to know why she doesn't want them involved...maybe with you she'll learn to forgive them (if that's the case).

no matter what happens, the dad's family takes the major call during weddings like this. I wasn't in good terms with my late dad's brothers but when my dad died and younger sis wanted to get married, I had no option than to involve them.

My people already told me to pause

budaatum:
You called off the wedding rites?

I guess you hadn't invested so much in your relationship then, or are taking advantage of the disunity in the family. Because if I were the woman you were intending to marry, I'd call off the wedding due to what I'd perceive as your lack of respect for me.

But I'm certain I'm not taking your culture into consideration and I'm missing out a lot not being in your shoes.

So people, good advice only please. And make sure its much better than mine.
