How do u guys go to work with this snow, or once there is heavy snow no work going

It depends on your of job, weather report and how desperate you are. I was at home throughout Friday, most schools and companies shut down as well.

But if you job is strictly per hour payment job, you will have to choose between risking everything to get to office or staying at home.

samuelkingz:



what are the ways...just say a few

Are you in U.S already?

femora007:

Nope, i applied for the job here in Chicago

Thanks for this bro! I really admired your courage and trust in GOD.

I am deeply inspired by your story. Hope you will continue to guide and provide more advice and guidance for your brothers here looking to take same route you 've taken.

Wishing you GOD blessings in all your endeavour.

Thanks very bro, I will always try my best to assist and give advice for people who have it in mind to come over here. Though coming to U.S may be difficult task but the stress and risk can never be compare to benefits.

To all aspiring immigrant, keep the hope high and never let your morale down due to rejection or denial.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it!

Just as predicted snow "ti take over" but as a naija guy I stopped over at African Store on my way home last night to buy extra food stuff

PastorandMentor:

2.How did you get the job?

1. Like every other immigrant


2. God's favor!

It can be very difficult, frustrating and impossible sometimes to get good/office job in U.S without education and experience on U.S soil despite degree from Nigeria.
I saw the job advert and applied. I spent 6years in naija banking sector before coming here. I told my employer about my education and experience. To cap it all, my employer migrated from Europe as well.

During my application for this job, people around told me it's a waste of time because they have been here for years and they can tell I don't have necessary qualification for the job but I focus on God and try my luck

[/quote]How was it like buying your car[/quote]

I bought my first car Nisan Altima $2500. I used the car for 6months and sold it to Nigeria. I used the proceeds as down payment to finance my new car (Toyota Camry 2016 Se).

RearVoice:
Boss,your car wicked sha!

I won't blame my car, it's what it is this time around. It can be so frustrating sometime. We monitor weather every hour like someone on sick bed
Here is weather forecast for next ten days:

I hate cleaning snow from my car almost every morning

Alley to my apartment as at this morning.

Today's weather so far.

Thanks to my overnight followers � Let me start by saying the only thing I don't like in America so far is the weather and natural disasters. Imagine everywhere outside will be like freezer and they will be telling me we have good weather today

Hi guys, It feels good to be part of this wonderful forum. Just my simple way of giving back to the forum since 2009.I moved to Chicago, U.S about a year ago. A bit difficult to settle down but all glory to God. I live and work here in Chicago Illinois for about a year now.

I will be updating this thread from time to time or when I have chance. Do not hesitate if you have any question about coming to Chicagoland.

Welcome to Windy City!
