Phaytie:
Good morning all.
Pls, I have a question with regards to this family business.

An optometrist(eye doctor) who did not take up a job after NYSC, but rather sets up a mini eye clinic in their family pharmacy, where he does consultations, offers treatments and gets paid by the patients, even though this clinic was not registered with the board and CAC, but the pharmacy is registered.

Hope he can claim job reference as having worked in the eye care section of the pharmacy while, still maintaining the NOC for Optometrist?

With that, there is no form of salary structure, since its like a self employment, each payment by clients is done to him directly, how can this be reflected in the job reference?

Magnifico2000:

From all the responses, one can deduce there is no chance for someone without enough job experience to be successful in EE.

Actually, u are the one coming for me cos u are reading my some false, nonexistent negative vibes from my comment....let me throw this analogy at u.... u are telling me that if Mr Adeleke issues reference for his son Davido as his company strategic consultant, he’s being fraudulent.??
See, I’m not trying to get nairalands approval if wrintting a corporate reference for my brother is right or wrong..I issued his first reference when he was at home for 2yrs with no job since he won’t officially stay in the family biz...and I responded to the confirmation request from first employer that hired him back then.I only asked if it’s advisable for something as an immigration application...just because he’s in a hurry to leave the country cos his PhD application not yet finalized and all I keep hearing is fraud..
I’m not the one going all PMS here....

1StopRudeness:


Thanks for your prompt response....do u mean all of the above or any one of reference letter, bank statement or pay slip...because after resignation staff account at the bank was closed, Payslip was never really printed. can offer letter which shows salary break down stand in place of bank statement or payslip....:or is the reference letter sufficient enuff...
If reference letter is to be used what should be the content before it can be approved for immigration: I mean like age or salary or duration of working :
The stress with bank hr is is often too much with this kinda stuff...:if one’s family has a registered company though one never really worked for them officially or got paid, but for this purpose can they issue such reference letter, won’t it back fire in any way?? Is it something that is physically verified or they just send official email to the company’s email address?

Please who has a contact for Uniben Transcript? It's urgent, am doing this on behalf of a brother

Thaiy:


You can’t have a reference number if you have not paid to them.

amaya21:
Yes...as long as you have paid the WES fee and you've gotten a reference number. Make sure the reference number is indicated on the cover letter or clearly written on a PHOTOCOPY of the certificate.

majamisile:

This doesn't matter bro. The paper works involved in claiming self employed no be here o. Better you go for the 3 years work experience as an employee as @topsmamen has adviced since that is enough to give you the requisite 50points which is the maximum by the way. Your personal history will make them know you are now a CEO and a LOE explaining that part of your POF came from your current business is enough to settle things. Your claiming your CEO position wouldn't change much. Just ensure that your current role as a CEO reflects clearly in your personal history. All the best boss.

Thaiy:


You can use the attached for your NECO evaluation, however, it will cost you about 23k to 25k.

PM me for further clarification.

Thank you.

Topsmamen:


You can use your 3-year work experience and get a reference letter from your employer. If you insist on using your enterprise, read the PPR success stories of self-employed people here.

Call this number (Zero Eight Zero Five Six Four Four Seven Two One Eight) and speak to the man in charge of verification of result at NECO office in Lagos. He will explain the process in detail. I can't remember his name right now. Be ready to spend 28K. 5K+ for verification, 20K+ for courier, the balance for NECO recharge card and other small expenses.

NECO office in Lagos: 20 Coker Road, Ilupeju.

, you just described me welcome to my world of speaking. I am a very eloquent speaker but I have been cursed with "you know" and "and so" So I understand very personally your struggle! But yet I am very fluent, so do not be worried.

Discourse markers or fillers as they are called are normal as they show you are not a robot or that you crammed a script. They are signs that your brain is actively processing the ideas as you speak. Not all of us have brains that are gifted in quickly processing our thoughts seconds before we utter the first word. Some chronic users of fillers are excellent speakers so do not be worried.

Popular advice is to be well-prepared to limit them. But preparation only makes sense for a rehearsed speech like a job interview or seminar presentation or meeting where you can predict the questions. How prepared can you be for ielts speaking questions which you don't even know beforehand? Even for rehearsed speeches, you can rarely eliminate them. I practiced for all kinds of questions for speaking, but never in my wildest imagination would I think I would be asked about global trade and business sustainability in part 3, it totally threw me off balance for the first few seconds

My advice is to be as natural as possible. In fact, forget you are saying those fillers and focus more on making your points and answering the questions. Do not try to eliminate them else you will be over-conscious of them,and in turn, you'll lose your thought process and confidence. Because I am plagued with chronic use of fillers, I tend to speak with a lot of personal stories and examples even for formal occasions. You know why? Because I have noticed that people love stories and very personal experiences because it activates Area 47 of the brain, they want to know what happened, they sympathize with the story, their brain is emotionally connecting it to something they can relate to, this distracts them a bit from language technicalities like fillers. During my speaking exam, I used so many personal examples, experiences and stories to answer the questions. That made me comfortable because it relaxed the mood quite a bit and didn't feel so formal to me so I didn't use those fillers much, except for part 3.

Also, confidence is important. When you confidently speak, people even hardly notice those fillers since confidence, they say, is attractive . It is also ok to let your listener know you know. For instance, when I was asked about business sustainability in part 3, I used those fillers so badly initially because I was seriously struggling with the concept and trying to connect with a relevant example, so I paused and told the examiner "Pardon my occasional use of fillers, but I hope you are getting my point. Stay with me, I got this", (and the examiner gave that very quick repeated nod, like yeah yeah, I know, I know, continue speaking) and I continued with the example Actually I crammed that apology phrase while practicing to include in my exams in case I lose control, and it was helpful as I got an 8 I didn't think I deserve .

I hope the above helps. All the best for you in exams, you will conquer it.

I scored 7 in speaking and I never for one day say I was practising speaking. In my opinion, I believe this is the cheapest module. It lasts between 11 and 14 minutes.
All I saw was just a discussion between I and a middle aged woman. Even when she offered me a pencil to jot down, I didn't have anything to write down as I kept talking until she stopped me.

Maybe, because my wife says I talk a lot and brands me a noisemaker all the time, so I decided to use it to my advantage.

Just put it at the back of your mind that you are going to have a conversation with a new friend.

I wish you the best.
