Please can anyone share a link to a WhatsApp group on this Express entry or add me to the group?

[quote author=Ehimen48 post=100375082]Everything was going on smoothly, then one day I called her she didn't pick, called her the next day she didn't pick. Then I hoped she was going to call back after seeing my missed calls, but she didn't, and we kept viewing each other's whatapp status. waited the next day she didn't call, 3days later she didn't call, 1week became one month and one month became 2months and that's were we are now. Only to discover recently that she as blocked me on WhatsApp. I still laugh anytime I remember how wierd the breakup was. I think it's bcz she's JW and I'm pentecostal. But atleast she shud have said something. I really love her. She was the only girl to take me out on a date

With 100k I’d advise you do Ripple, for instance, at 6am this morning it was just around 134 per XRP, I bought in at 135, and just sold a few mins ago at 142.70.

If you had done same at that price you’d have had 740.7 XRP and if you sold at around 142 just 5 hours later you’d have had 105k. I trade daily and set targets for myself once I hit my target I sell and wait till it drops to a price I’m comfortable buying at again, you can then chose to use your 105k to buy back in at 136 and set another limit order to sell at 142 or even 140, and be gaining your 1% small small by the end of the month you’d gained over 20% and that’s not including days where there will be huge spikes in the price, if you are patient and diligent with it... As regards fees, I set limit orders and I buy straight off the exchange by predicting a median price that I'm comfortable buying at, so when it falls to that price my order fills up... when there’s a spike or a trend and I feel I’m at a point where I’m comfortable I set a low price order to sell, for example when ripple hit 142 this afternoon the lowest sell order on the Luno order book was 142.90, I set mine to sell at 142.70 so my order got filled up quickly and I didn’t pay a cent in charges. Luno is easy to manipulate if you know what you’re doing, it’s when you do express buy or at market rate they charge you heavy

Also try to monitor other coins, there’s times where LTC is the strong point and you’d need to buy in and cash in on it within an hour and switch to other coins.

Please can I get your contact or PM you

Great minds of Nairaland.

Please I need genuine Businesses I can do this year.

Thank you.

How about swift initiative

lentomac:
At this point, you shouldn't be specific about a precise location for a school, what if the program you want to study is not in any school in Toronto. Think about that.

Now to your last sentence " 2.2 graduate ", based on that, i think you are eligible for a Post Graduate Certificate Program (PG. Cert).

Why not mention what you studied in your Undergraduate & your Work Experience (If any), cos the PG. Cert program you must go for must either tandem (relate) to what you studied in school or your work experience, with that you will get possible Suggestions of schools & programs you can apply to, and you might even be lucky the PG. Cert program you want to study is being offered in a school located in Toronto & it can go either way, so as per location, brace yourself up for the uncertainty.

I'm a graduate of computer science. Thanks

Please I need list of schools I can apply for in Canada; Toronto precisely. I'm a graduate. 2.2

So I went for an interview last week. I think the interview was 3 stages handled by different people. I excelled the first stage, the second stage I think was a 50-50 interview.
They wrote what they feel about me in my cv stapled and gave the 3rd interview stage handled by the branch Manager. He read it and said I will get a feedback that evening. Since then nothing. I even sent a message to their number still nothing. Please what do you think happened? And funny enough I know the branch Manager. I think of going to the office to see him.

Ephort:
Given the issues of poor work-life balance, low remuneration and profound pressure attendant to my former job, it became obvious that I needed to change the job, hence my second job hunting experience.
Below summarizes my experience while job hunting for a new job.

1. There are so many reasons you may not be invited to an interview. It may be surprising to know that sometimes, interview may take place and the position filled before the deadline for submission of CVs elapses, and as such, many CVs end up receiving no attention. On the other hand, an organization could receive up to 150 CVs for one job role, thereby making it a herculean task for the hirer to review all of them. Sometimes, after going through the first 30 CVs (or less), the talent manager would select about 8 for interview and abandon others. If no one is selected among the interviewed, the hirer would always go back to download more CVs for further review. There is high chance that most of the CVs you have sent in the past received no attention. I know this because I assisted in filling the vacancy my exit created before I left. The lesson here is - as much as you can, always send your CV on time, and if you have more than one channel (hard copy, e-mail & company’s website) explore all so that in one way or the other, your CV would at least receive attention.

2. Don’t ever get tired of sending out your CV. That you have sent out a thousand CVs, or that you have been sending out CVs for years should not discourage you from continuing to apply for jobs you are qualified for. My new job offer came from an application I sent out nonchalantly, having already sent out dozens of other applications for over one year with no invitation.
More so, even when the deadline for application has expired, and you consider yourself qualified, you may still send your CV. Usually, recruiters return to their inbox to spoon out more CVs upon failing to select someone among the interviewed, and when there are no more CVs to consider, they send out another advert. This is why you tend to see repeated job adverts some times. May I add here that I was invited seven months after submitting my CV. The lesson here is, "don’t ever relent or get tired in your job search".

3. Always edit your CV to meet the requirements for the position you are applying for. Note this, there is no comprehensive CV for all job roles relating to your profession/experience. During my first and second stages of the interview for the role I’m offered, the interviewers pointed out that certain key duties/functions pertaining to the position I applied for were missing in my CV. They queried further to know if I have such experience. The second interviewer even suggested that I applied for a wrong job. I had to orally liberate myself by going further to give an insight on them. The functions are those you would ordinarily consider mundane for any other role. It behooves to say that many don’t get invited for jobs they are qualified for, because of this reason. The lesson here is, "tailor your CV to the job requirements".

4. Arrange your CV well. Ensure that your strengths and key skills are conspicuously positioned (key ones should be on top), while you'll list your job experience from the current job. In fact, there are some experience you had that need not make it to the CV. This can only make sense to you if you understand that recruiters/interviewers don’t read CVs, they don’t even peruse them but merely glance through to catch your key functions, skills, experience and certifications. The HR of my erstwhile employer rejected one of the CVs I forwarded to her for consideration because, to her, it was clumsy and not well arranged.
Kindly divert the strength you spend in copying catchy and cliché career objectives to articulating your good skills and experience. Most recruiters don’t usually read your, “team player, loves multitasking, and works under pressure” stuff you write. I know this because (for the second time) I sat at interview panel (including for the job I’m leaving), and no panelist referred to, or mention those clichés.

5. Prepare for interviews (even if the HR is your aunt). Note this, interview is a marketing opportunity. All you are coming to tell the company is why they need you, not why you need the job. No company would want to hire you because you desperately need the job, or because you need them to first employ you to later see how good you are. Many people allude that jobs in Nigeria are based on who you know etc, but good companies by virtue of their system and structure, are unlikely to hire someone based on sentiment or affinity. My former boss, a member of the Management team, brought someone for the role I just left, but the candidate’s performance was obviously not satisfactory to the panel. Always read up about the role you are to fill. This helped me a lot during my interviews. More so, some of the people we interviewed for the position I left showed that they knew the answers but could not just gather their thoughts. You could see the disappointment in their faces. The lesson here is, - always refresh your memory before going for an interview even if you are a veteran in your industry/job.

6. Yes, Master's Degrees and further studies are very good, but they must be value based. Some of the people we interviewed for the role I left paraded flamboyant certifications with little or nothing to offer. The job I got had Master’s Degree and another professional certification as added advantage, but I have none (and I even graduated with 2nd class lower). This is not to downplay further certifications/studies. They are absolutely important. The lesson here is - while you gather certificates, ensure you match them up with value (knowledge and skill). Also, ignore those added advantages and apply if you know the job.

7. Negotiation is an art that proceeds from the standpoint of personal worth. One of the nightmarish aspects of salary negotiation is that you are left to navigate through uncharted waters, or traverse unknown terrains in blindfold since you are less likely to know the company’s salary range. The concern is that you may not know what to say that would amount to overshooting or undershooting, especially if you are from a system that pays terribly low. Most companies would offer you a lower pay (than they earmarked for the position) if your existing salary is way below. My experience during the interview was that I added about N2m to my pay at my previous job to arrive at my expected salary (annual gross). Because I needed to move, I was afraid of overshooting. Unbeknownst to me, the amount is just one step above the entry level. The interviewers did not even negotiate but asked multiple times whether I would wish to change my mind. Upon receiving their offer, it became obvious that I undershot. I had to renegotiate and got one more step added. The lesson here is, always know your worth outside your current pay, and assert same when you have the opportunity.

8. Finally, believe in God’s grace. Both the job I left and the one I’m currently in, are jobs I applied for, casually, online. The one that I was head-hunted for, and the one a recruiter contacted me for through LinkedIn, never materialized. One notable phenomenon was I saw both jobs in dreams before they came. I kinda saw them coming.
I pray that everyone reading this, who is unemployed, underemployed, or desirous of changing his job receives the good news between now and January, 2021 in Jesus Name.

Thanks. Maybe I need to strategise better on how I'm learning it

WoundedLamb:
Maybe you should adjust a learning style? Maybe you should change your choice of language? Maybe you should change the type of app you're starting with? Maybe you should focus more on algorithms and not language syntax? Maybe you should use books and not videos?

I really don't know the change that needs to be made; my point is that most times, it's a small adjustment that changes everything. It's like learning French, you will learn but it takes time and constant practice. Programming gives pleasurable frustrations especially when you start working for corporate organizations with crazy deadlines. But nothing compares to the joy of getting a working solution at the end. So I'd say, hang in there!

Meanwhile, I've been programming for more than 10 years but the moment I see any already-made code snippet, I grab it the way those hoodlums grap palliatives in Nigeria! That's the whole idea, bro. I also look up syntaxes and the names of framework classes. This doesn't make you any less of a developer. Anything to buy time.

Thanks bro

Lol you go look up solutions tire. Hang in there. Programmers with 20 years experience still look up solutions.

I just started learning java over two months now and several times I feel like quitting because I find it hard to solve problems. I end up cheating; looking up at the solutions. It's so frustrating. I think programming is for intelligent people.
