Very mature posturing.

Hello everyone,

I am in dare need of a job to settle my tuition fee, I currently have an OND and have also completed my mech engineering degree afterwards, but haven't paid my tuition fees since I was admitted to 200level due to circumstances beyond my control, only my acceptance fee was paid and other registration fees.

But due to my GPA, I was later allowed to pursue the degree amidst threats of annulling my admission, which is unusual, but God just made a way for me.

I'm 24 and willing to work.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.
THANKS...

I could send your cv to a manufacturing company where they could give you an internship position(with pay) and you could work with the operations and maintenance unit while making adequate arrangements to go back to complete your programme.

Hello OP, your post made an impressive read.

On that score I am going to attempt an objective response to your inquiry. Whatever I post here is nothing more than a suggestion which is what you request for.

First of all, you are in a wonderful profession and I would first of opine that the apparent pall hanging above the real estate segment of the economy now is only there for a while as it will soon blow over. You must be thankful for this recent recession that has retooled your focus to the much talked about multiple streams of income possibilities.

As a direct response to your inquiry, I will state the following;

Please do not invest in any form of crypto currency, forex, online or lottery business unless of course you have a firm understanding of how it works. I do not as of yet have an understanding of the nature of the workings of those lines of business.
I would also like to advise that you be wary of models that promise you high yields. Any sustainable business especially those of the traditional garb will start out with minimal returns and will then build up to very significant returns on investment.

Fortunately your interest payment is very fair. I will advise that you project from a conservative pedestal which should ensure that at the end of 4 years that your loan amount of 6 Million Naira would have generated a minimum of 12 Million Naira in terms of profit; after paying off all the interest and of course returning the capital.

This may not appear very attractive but this is a sure bet with minimal risk and a consistent geometrical growth plan.

I will advise that you invest in a traditional business and learn from it as you grow in the business. I assume that being a professional in the building sector your understanding of trading will be quite limited. Your better bet therefore is to engage in large scale F.M.C.G sales which is more commonly known as distributorship. You can never go wrong here. Seek out a reliable company, negotiate to become a distributor in a specific territory, insist on exclusive territorial rights, haggle and get the best possible price regimen, get support (both strategic and promotional) from the company and launch out massively.

The beautiful thing about this model is that depending on the product, company policy and amount of investment, you just become a financial partner while the system is on auto run.

This is a fail proof model and is adoptable even by those who have zilch sales or trading experience. A great number of articles and threads exist here on Nairaland concerning the distributorship business. Research and find them as they may hold the key you so desperately need.

Good luck!

Official Global Version Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime Special Edition, smartphone,5.5inch 3GB 32Gb 16.0MP & B$ B20 B28 LTE

GrandMufti:



you dont seem to know your exact phone model. please clarify if its redmi pro or redmi note 3 pro se?

I beg to differ on this point. I have a Redmi pro and have used it for less than one year. The port is not working anymore and you can only charge when phone is switched off, the middle portion of the screen is malfuctioning and does not react to touch or even tapping.
Now a new problem is that it goes on and off by itself and doe come on again immediately. I must say that before these glitches it was considered one of the better phones I have used. I currently have a Nokia lumia 730 that I have used for two years without a glitch. It is so reliable that I had to go out there and buy another one for storage so that it doesn't go out of the market when I need to replace it. My Iphone 5 never visited a technician till I gave it out. Ditto to all blackberries I have ever had.

lanre316:


I understand the feeling and that was what delayed me from joining Xiaomi family for long. I was so used to visiting Carl Care that I can't imagine using a phone without Care center agent in Nigeria. But have you ever imagined using a phone so good and strong where you may never need to visit a Care service agent? That's Xiaomi. I have been using a redmi note 4 for the past three months and there's no going back to tecno/infinix/itel! The last phone I sued was infinix note 4 and I have to repair the charging port after just two months of purchase. People use HTC and iPhones and they don't worry about care center because those phones are premium and they dont develop faults anyhow. Ultimately its your choice.
a. Choose a sub-standard phone susceptible to faults but have customer care service agents that will repair your phone for a fee, even under warranty
b. Choose a premium phone so strong it may never develop faults, hence you may not need customer care center; use it till you get tired of using it and even sell it off at good price.

odimbannamdi:


Hello sir,

Your submissions have been very expository and enlightening. I initially wanted to read-and-pass, but i really was tempted to contribute too.

To re-iterate what you have said already...

The chances of landing an interview increases significantly when your CV is accompanied by a passionate cover letter. CVs are fast becoming a cliche now, but your cover letter would personalize your application, giving it a voice and making you appear human. I mean, in this days of AIs, it is possible for bots and robots to send in CVs. Cover letters would also offer you the golden opportunity of emphasizing your skills, strengths and experience - an opportunity your CV cant afford you.

I will give my personal experience.

As a fresh NYSC graduate that year, i was eager to start up with just any job so that i can start building my experiential portfolio. A friend intimated me of an internship role he just turned down coz of proximity. Luckily for me, the coy was a bus away from my house and it was less than 2days since he turned down the offer, so i guessed they would be yet to make a replacement. The very next day, before 9am, i was at that office decked in one my best official wears and armed with my CV and well-worded cover letter i crafted the night before. When the management saw my cover letter, they were really impressed and decided to give me a try. Even though i didnt stay long on the job, i learnt acquired new skills

Summarily, whether or not it is instructed in the job vacancy, it is recommended you accompany your CV with a passionate cover letter. It wont cost you anything at all. Just take some minutes, or an hour at most, to match your skills and experience with the requisite job responsibilities you are applying for. If a mail address was provided for you to send your CV, attach your cover letter as a second document. If the recruiters decide to ignore it, fine! But they will never disqualify you because you attached a cover letter

The job hustle is real! You just have to figure out a way to stand out from the pack. A cover letter really could make all the difference.

I had to read this again and again in the course of the day.

I must admit that this is one of the better written responses on Nairaland.
Incidentally, his write up already conveys the following;

1. A profound thoroughness as evidenced in the presentation style.

2. Mastery of the language as can be observed in his grammatical expression

3. The confidence he exudes as reflected in his authoritative stance on the subject matter.

A trained and experienced HR professional can to a reasonable extent zero into his personality traits and abilities.
he may not be a 100% correct all the time but I assure you that he is more prone to be right than wrong.

A well written cover letter in many cases holds the aces. i wish to confess that in my career I have been swayed by a good cover letter many times over. Suffice to state here that my decision is immediately formed by a the letter and not the CV and qualifications.

I will give you a tip about how irrelevant a CV can be;

A typical contemporary cv now carries an insertion tagged 'career objectives'. My favourite question in the elimination stage is to ask each applicant to quote his career objective as stated ominously on his/her CV. You can best imagine the consequent fidgeting and stammering that follows that simple request.

Learn to write a good cover letter. It will come in useful at some point in your career span.

Please how do you back up. Please forgive my backwardness.

I just belong to an older archaic generation.

GrandMufti:



I was about to tell you that 9.0.7.0 is available on nightly. You were supposed to back up na. Sorry o

oshe111:
Pls, is the cover letter not same as wat is written on the mail b4 attaching ur CV.
If nt pls clarify the diff for me.
Thanks alot

Yes and no.

A good cover letter should be typed on MS word and attached separately just like your resume/cv.

It is detailed yet concise.

At best what you write on HTML should just be a brief introduction.

shams040:
Please while submitting cv is it compulsary to add a cover letter if it nt stipulated?

The cover letter in the majority of cases is so significant that you have no idea.

The CV is a a very mechanical and impersonal evaluation tool. The cover letter reveals a lot about the personality through the choice of words, presentation style, thoroughness, vitality, confidence and even attitude. A common thing like a spelling error can spell doom for you by expressing your kind of person(OP you may wish to check up the spelling of 'compulsory'.

I will give you an example of how important a cover letter is.

In the hey days of banking, a particular high flying new generation bank procured us to recruit entry level graduates for their Graduate trainee programme. We advertised and short-listed and then mailed the successful applicants inviting them for an aptitude test and the venue was the new UNILAG Amphitheatre.

On the appointed we arrived there and behold both invited candidates and more 'gatecrashers' were awaiting the test. This was a difficult situation as we invited only 200 candidates but we had over 3,000 young people. We were in a 'situation' because it was apparent that if we tried to go by the invitation letters we would experience a crisis. So we quickly thought out a solution which was that everyone should sit for the test in batches. We however changed the test content and structure.

We distributed plane sheets and requested that each person write an application letter seeking absorption into the Graduate trainee Scheme.
They would then attach copies of their resumes.

We packed all applications and hired the Test Development Division Of WAEC to evaluate them and the results were sent in.
You will not believe that less than 32 application letters hit the 85% cut-off mark. Very depressing experience.

Many Nigerians can connect with the above. We really do not have the humility to admit the glaring fact that our writing is seriously impaired.

We need to correct this anomaly. And soon too. Its the only way to go.

shams040:


BT y are Nigeria HRs like dat?

I am tempted to weigh in at this point.

All HR personnel globally are faced with one major challenge and that is getting the absolutely right fit for an opening and a variety of tools and variables are used to ascertain the suitability or otherwise of a particular candidate for a role.

Experience (I speak for myself here) has revealed that your words as stringed together if well examined reveal your personality traits, confidence level and to some extent your integrity. I can tell you that in the majority of cases my selection of a candidate to a very large extent is mostly predicated on the feelings that I draw from reading the cover letter. A truly well written cover letter is a delightful read and will get one foot in the door(my personal disposition again).

You will be amazed at this fact but it holds true for many HR units. The CV over the years has become a stereotype and on could copy and replicate others but in all honesty writing style and presentation remains unique to every individual. My advice is that whenever you are seeking employment and you need to show what stuff you are made of, please add a well written cover letter. Understandably, this applies more to experienced hires.

It has proven to take many to the next stage.

GrandMufti:


Screenshot your rom version.

The likely culprits are :

1. Charging port
2. Screen
3. Rom

Thanks for your response. Please find the image of the rom as requested.

gbodimowo:



Well, you would need to have the phone checked

A partial contact issue on one of the integrated circuits is the culprit

Though you refused to tell us , the nature of accident you were involved in earlier in the year, you would need to purchase a new LCD+ Digitizer assembly

Don't try to be smart by replacing the digitizer

I wouldn't say more Han that

Look well before placing your order for parts those Alixpress peeps have a way of confusing peeps with their description

Thanks Sir! Your response is quite indicative of a man who understands what he is talking about.

Actually there was no 'accident'. I just noticed that it just stopped working starting with the charging port malfunction and then the others followed in quick sequence.

Can you recommend any site on Aliexpress where I can buy the entire LCD and the digitizer together?
Do you recommend I buy the entire charging port component also from Aliexpress?

Can you recommend any technician that can replace the screen when I buy it and who can have the phone 'checked'?
I live in the Ikeja neighbourhood but have a morbid fear of dealing with random Computer village technicians.

My thanks once again for your prompt and indepth response.

Hello House,

I need help. I have a redmi 3 pro which I bought earlier this year having read, such great reviews about it on this thread.

I must say that the first few months with this phone was inexplicable bliss. Then just about a month ago, the honeymoon ended as I started experiencing some drawbacks.
Th first problem was that just out of nowhere the phone refused to charge while still on. I changed cables, chargers to no avail. Immediately I put it off and plugged it again, it started charging all over again. It is still in this state till date so I only get to charge it at night. Luckily that charge takes a full day which is fair enough. What could have gone wrong?

The second problem that showed up was the screen. At exactly the middle (horizontal) the screen does not respond to touch at all. So if you have to anything you type that requires a middle positioned alphabet then you are completely lost as there is no response. Is there anything that I can do to correct this issue short of changing the scree?

Thirdly, I noticed that the phone now goes off by itself and then immediately comes on again. So we have a consistent rebooting going on during the day in the course of my activities. You can also notice that when it is charging (when off) it still flicks on and stops at the point where it shows the MI logo and then goes off again. Can I get some help here please?

I need someone to advise. I still believe the Xiaomi brand is a good way to go. but I need to know if anyone has experienced this before and how we can go about it.

Thanks.

BlueRayDick:


What do u stand to gain by discouraging the OP from going for this job opportunity? Knowledgeable people are telling u the OP to honour the invite and yet you are calling them GNLD promoters. Smh.

Anyways I blame most of these job seekers who can't discern a good opportunity from scam invites and cone online to ask for validation without using Google. It's not even rocket science to know that most GNLD can never afford either an office space or an interview venue in places like federal palace hotel, v.i. Even big networking people like Swiss golden and the likes cant afford it, yet u keep shouting GNLD up and down.

@poster if I was you, I would go there and see things for myself, GNLD or no GNLD. Don't end up losing a job opportunity because someone Sat behind a computer in his room and just typed what comes to his mind without having detailed information.

Please tell them.

Good things do sometimes come in small packages.

Olaomoolopa:
No need to argue over it I stay In ojodu berger bro I will appreciate it if you can give the company full details and address I will check and post it here f it's real.thanks

This is quite a reasonable request but I am afraid I cannot oblige you for the very reason I obliterated the name of the company in the first place when placing the advert.

Lets just say that since the bedlam has waned, we can go on to announce that we received a lot of applications and more are coming in.

Quite characteristic of me, I settled down and read the posts repeatedly and each individual post kept conjuring a more than reasonably accurate picture of the personality behind the post and the moniker.

Seek to develop yourself along this line you will agree with me that it isn't necessary to join issues with people in certain respects especially on an anonymous online platform that harbours all ramifications of species.

Most importantly, I have interacted with some of the applicants and I can tell you that this was a worthwhile exercise.
A very wholesome experience it has been.

For those who may sill be interested, kindly send in your applications and resume and follow the format as laid out in the originating post.

Thanks!

If anyone or anybody should apply for the job placed by this CARREERPLUZ or something,

Ebola fall on him/her.

I know this people veryyyyy wellllllllll. They are not what they pose to be.

Please, i am beseeching you, my Nigerian unemployed youths/graduate, DO NOT FALL for this.
Let's join hand starve all these scam of a company to death by not patronizing em.

Better job ll come ur way, before the end of this year and you ll testify. If you believe....
Cheers

If we are to judge you by your moniker then there would be no need to respond to you.

However, unlike you will resist the temptation to judge a book by its cover. your moniker was like your warped thinking today that produced the quoted text must have been chosen during one of your frequently recurring periods of insobriety. We cannot therefore ascribe the entire responsibility of this intemperance to you. It is hugely circumstantial.

A man is nothing more than what he thinks inwardly and expresses outwardly through his words(both verbal and written)and actions/inactions. And then you latch n to a promise that assuages your lazy and docile personality, a promise that you yourself do not even believe. Please prove me wrong by announcing your 'better job' here before the 31st of December 2017.

Suffice to state here and clearly so that I will appear here and quote you on that date before the close of business from wherever I may be.

Take that as a challenge.

And finally, I am sure that before that date one of the applicants for this job will announce his appointment with this 'fictitious ' company.

category:
The eloquence of the OP is capable of wooing any prospective job seeker even if he is masquerading.
I admire your command of English.

Thanks for the compliment @Category.

I am just trying to exhaust the school fees investment of many contributors, parents, relatives, community and even the state.

Its amazing though to think that our supposedly intelligent commentators can sink so low as to think only along certain lines.

The biggest loss resulting from the archaic educational sepulchre we have been bequeathed is the colossal loss of self esteem.

However, contemporary socio-economic harmonisation requires our accommodating even the most unintelligent morons in our society who in the majority of cases are the ones that suffer steep depths of low esteem and yet seek recognition via all manners of loquacious expression even when bereft of logic and inconsistent with the prevailing contextual setting. That indeed is the burden of present day living.

The responses so far are awesome, despite the distractions.

The discourse has actually been quite helpful...............if you know what I mean.

omoelerin1:
This is not about an opinion, it is what I know.
I am educated, I am experienced, I am a professional. Look, let me tell you, If I see a fake job vacancy I will know. It is only those innocent fresh and desperate graduates you can deceive.
I won't say more than that. You had better keep quiet and stop quoting me, so that this issue would not be complicated.

I usually resist (and successfully so) to be drawn into this kind of negative exchange that is primarily unproductive.

I will however in the interest of the vulnerable ones on this platform respond to your very spurious and unfounded allegations.

it is ironic that a supposedly educated and experienced professional cannot show in his post the tell tale signs of a fake advertorial.

My advert does not solicit for payments in any form and neither does it request for any valuable. All I placed was a harmless email address that is used to collate applications for certain advertised positions before being forwarded to a dedicated email address belonging to registered domain. Your unintelligent posturing will not allow you look beyond your nose but only survive in your immediate limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, the advert you see here and any other advert that comes through this moniker are verified adverts drawn from a reasonably known and respectable Business Advisory Agency.

Having said this much , I hope you will read it.....[i]really, really slowly [/i]in order to have some semblance of an understanding. I will subsequently not dignify your penchant for cheap and baseless popularity on an anonymous forum.

And you may heed the time tested axiom about leaving people oblivious of your intelligence rather than erasing all doubt through rather ludicrous and moronic contrivance.

I challenge you do your very best 'Sir Theresa' of the desperate unemployed Nigerian graduates and shame on you if you don't complicate this issue.

Delbam:
I hope no one will fall for this.
No further comment...

I am happy that you have at least not fallen. Very smart and commendable.

Unfortunately many others are not as smart as you.

Have a bountiful day.

Delbam:
I hope no one will fall for this.
Why are all these scammers not giving up. If they could come up with post like this, it means they could as well be useful for some other meaningful things. Stop deceiving people and find something else to do. You can't keep deceiving people all the time and think all is going to be well with you. I wont fall for this so are others...may God continually help us. Peace!!!

Thanks for not falling Sir.

Very smart of you. And your unsolicited advice is received in good faith.
