michlins:
the salary isn't why people hustle for opportunities there.

Have you wondered why you don't know when those agencies employ and even when you get information, you don't know who they employ.


They sell quotas

For the federal government? It Is kinda fair.

But for salaries like 40-60k? haba na!

I remember when I got my friend a job at a lounge, the pay was 50k per month. The first month she worked, she made a lot of mistakes and some money was deducted from the 50K salary.

Assuming she got the job through an agent, after the whole deduction, the agent will still collect 50%?


Also note, that most lounges don't accept taking tips.

20% Is fair! Which one Is 50%?

Unbreakable26:
I may give up to 40% though l don't know how much is their salary there

Can't find your number on WhatsApp

1TrippleCee:
Stop it. Is it not just one month? Are the people going to help people get jobs without something for them to benefit from?

Is it not just one month you say?

Imagine collecting 50% that's WICKEDNESS!

Does the agent cover transportation for the month?


So If the working conditions of the said place Are bad and the person decides to leave the next month, they will still pay 50%

What's the role of an Agent?
What are they contributing?
Would they write a good CV?
Would the Interview be bypassed?

What exactly?!!

My cousin worked as a runner for like a year In a lounge. Can she still apply?

Yes.
Not for me tho. For my friends and relatives.

Most of the writing jobs my sis has done were all from Nairaland.


All the good Nairalanders have left Nairaland. This place Is just filled with bigots now.

2016-2019, met a lot of super-rich people that I wouldn't meet In real life.

One nairalander even asked me if I was done with school so he could fix me somewhere(One of the top companies In Nigeria).

I wasn't done with school then, but I kept In touch until I lost my phone In 2021 and his contact.

I keep going through my mail to see if I can remember his name but I really can't.

N/b: my old account was banned for 70years so I created this one.

Obnoxious2001:
So I am thinking of traveling to Benin to for a course. The course duration is around 6months.

Now my problem is how do you tackle accommodation for a short period if you don't have people present in that place.

Besides this accommodation is also affecting people job search. My friend earlier Moved to Lagos after he got a job without any accommodation in place.

Please drop your tactics or strategy on how to survive.
(Besides rents are no longer paid monthly in Nigeria)

I use Facebook most time.

I searched "Roommate needed In so-so place" It brought out post of people who needs roommates. I send them a message from there.

orohbirodeysmel:
Who your mentions help, see this one...like mentioning you adds a dollar to my azza...are you high or what. Reviews or no reviews...the Nigerian labour market is for who get mind. If you no get mind you will remain idle and die of hunger...

The Company you are looking for reviews on, people are even waiting for an small vacancy to apply...

Then shut your mouth and fvck off

Pussyisgud:
Exactly, office cleaning pays 35k for a Monday - Friday job, while hotel /lounge /bar hospitality cleaning can be doing shifts but the problem here is that they would not allow you to work double shifts and earn double salary in the same hotel, if you decide to be working double jobs at two a separate hotels (morning and night shifts) how are you gonna meet up with arriving on early for both jobs and also you will not be sleeping at night or day coz u will be at work and automatically no holidays or off days for you.
In order words you will neglect yourself start looking like zombie to the extent that small time YOU WILL JUST DIE.

You are actually right.

Sad situation

Pussyisgud:
Exactly.

In Lekki, some cleaners are being paid 35k

The only good thing Is that they run shift.

So you can get two shift jobs .

orohbirodeysmel:
Of what use...will you offer them better incentives

There are a lot of threads on Nairaland where people drop reviews of where they work/worked.
They drop how much the companies pay their staff.

Before you go for an interview, don't you google about the company?



Please, just get off my mention!

orohbirodeysmel:
Nothing want happen, cos millions of Nigerians are jobless, it you snooze you loose no time

I know.

Just need them to share their experience

IyaTola:
Google is your friend.

Google?
Oh, please!

We are talking about real life here

IyaTola:
Oil companies pay their cleaners more than that.

This is pure lies.

List the oil companies.

IyaTola:
My girlfriend cousins always complained bitterly about that place. I am always like this place where people are dying to work in

See, I am surprised.

I need people to speak up about their experiences working for hotels, clubs and lounges around Ikoyi, VI and Lekki..

Please share your experiences if you can.
Thank you!

I'd be straight with you, the best and cheapest hosting provider is hostinger. First year will cost your around 48k plus free domain, but second year might cost you 150k. I have three different hosting plans that can host more than 100 websites with unlimited bandwidth; I can share full resources with you at an affordable rate

I plan on getting my domain from Porkbun

Hello webmasters,

I want to host a WordPress website. It is a website that shows the company details, their product and social media links


Please recommend a good hosting provider with good pricing plans.

Thank you

Hi! There isn't much Info about this company.
There is no LinkedIn page, and their website isn't well organised.

What do they do?

enemerci:
Very good college with affordable tuition. That was my first choice but they didnt have my course of choice so I settled for macewan in Edmonton.

Sure you can go ahead and apply
Housing crisis and scarcity of student jobs have got nothing on you.

Hi!
Please, can I Send you a PM?

Iykip:
Hello, do you still live in Edmonton? Do you know any available one bed accomodation around NW Downtown?

Hi!

Maybe you should try Facebook groups or Facebook marketplace.

There is this Kijij. ca too
