Ofen times I hear people say that LinkedIn is one of the best places to land a job especially for people in the tech industry.


However, I have never heard of Nairalanders landing jobs through LinkedIn. So I will like to ask, has anyone gotten a job through LinkedIn?. Also, share your job hunting experience on the platform

Yeah I got an offer twice.

I'm shocked that a governor cannot install a simple security window film for more protection. Learn more here www.herambaafrica.com.ng

Increase energy efficiency.
An average window film can block 99.9% of the total solar energy entering your windows, creating electricity savings and a more comfortable environment to spend time in.

Reduce the incoming UV rays.
We frequently hear how damaging UV rays are to skin, but did you know that UV also damages the interiors of your home? It will cause your furnishings, cabinets, drapes, shutters, and flooring to fade at an extremely uneven rate compared to the areas that are not exposed to direct UV rays. Residential window films block 99.9% of the UV rays and will drastically slow the damage to your interiors.

Reduce glare.
Who wants glare on their TV during the big game or a movie? A good quality window film can block 99.9% of the glare, which will make your relaxation time feel even better.

Remove the annoying ‘bright light’ that shines into your home.
Most people living in Nigeria have at least one window that is a nuisance during a particular portion of the day. For us, it was a set of foyer windows that the sun would shine directly in our face in the mornings. Adding a film to these windows that will filter the light, allows the perfect amount of light into each window/room without having to lose your outdoor view by closing shutters, blinds, or drapes.

Safety.
Security films strengthen the glass and can be bonded to the window frame for maximum security protection. We add security film to windows that are vulnerable to being broken into, such as front-facing and casita/garage windows, or to add extra protection to children’s rooms. Safety films come in clear and tinted shades to allow the best of both tints with heat rejection and...

Fans of Nigerian pop music star, Ibrahim Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, have taken to social media to celebrate “Wizkid Day”.

Recall that in 2018, Mark Dayton, Governor of Minnesota, United States of America, declared October 6 of every year as ‘Wizkid Day”.

Citing several historic feats made by the artiste in the proclamation, the afrobeat star became the first African artiste to sell out Skyway Theatre. This event occurred at the #MadeInLagos concert held in the state.

Guest tried to talk to her to know why she suddenly changed her mind on her wedding day, but all efforts to make her speak up was in vain.

A friend who owns a big laundry business in Lagos just told me that she had to lay off most of her staff due to the pandemic.

She’ll be unable to make payroll due to the low patronage.

That's painful.

The pain and uncertainty of the impact of the coronavirus on small business owners is staggering and likely to be substantial.

Good cheer! There's good news.

This is what happens when there's an association. Imagine having one like Association of Private employers in Nigeria (APEN). Any private sector that sacks on would loose all to strike.

Jamieb:
Whether you are an employer or a job seeker, it doesn't change the fact your approach was attack-minded rather than making an inquiry .

Call it anything. You don't know what's happening. Where do you live?

Have you been to Lagos before?

Do you know how many that uses the title of HR and CEO to lure people into network marketing?

Hi Elbizzcklinz,

You may wonder why you have not landed any jobs or got one and loss it shortly! Well you attitude answers it all.

Whether the job is legit or not, your manner of approach was totally wrong. You are looking for a job, and you haven't yet been employed, you are already picking a fight with someone that supposedly works for the company. See bro, your degree or whatever qualifications that you were awarded was not just based on learning, but attitude as well; which you proved your school didnt do a good work on you with that.

If I was me, I would block you too. You were so rude to him and displayed a lousy attitude there whether the job is genuine or not you bleeped up big time.

Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a job seeker like you. I'm an Employer.

I did a serious search on CAC website, there was no trace of the company whatsoever and this is supposed to be a multinational company according to their fake website... I have already reported tie email I received to CAC and I copied EFCC.....I also sent the email to a relative in Lagos in one of the authorities, they are bursting that place next week... I advice all to relax for updates... The scam in this country is already too much, giving us bad names on the international scene daily and I hate anything scam these days.

Waiting for updates

Emmanuel049:
Your message to him was rude, You made him seem incompetent, and tried to teach him how to outsource? That's not how to verify the legitimacy of a business, You did wrong and he was right to block you.

I expected you to emphasize on how you don't know much about the company, little or no media precense, and why the Nigerian address isn't registered on their website.

That you worry for your security.

Hmmmm, never saw it that way. I will wait for others opinion.

I ran a CAC name search, they are not registered in Nigeria and have no legal right to offer any employment contract.

ayoosas:
Do not bother wasting your time or money.
I went to the said venue today
1. It is in a very residential area.
2. Nobody around there knows the name of the company or what they do there. Not even the gateman knows.
When you get there, the only thing they've told the gateman to say is that they are conducting exams there. He knows no further detail.
3. The testing system seems to be too generic. How do you test a data scientist, social media manager and web developer with a computer assessment test that sounds like quantitative reasoning?
Also, in this Covid era, if a computer assessment is what they need, it can be done remotely. If the company is as tech as their website claims then this would be done easily.
The said website (which I think is a fluke) says they are a multi-national data analysis company. If truly they are, a remote test would be easy for them to conduct.

I would advice that you do not go but incase you do please come back here to tell us how it went.

You're right.

Codepain:
you are wrong bro

He's not

Here's there mail to me.

Please Nairaland, where is the harassment in my mail. Someone i want to help.

Care to share ?

[quote author=Klechman post=92189048][/quote]Another corporate scam.

A company without staff on LinkedIn. I chatted the CEO about the job and he blocked me. Imagine digital marketing role with such elementary test.

No social media activities to show that the company is alive.

Can you see any Nigeria Address on their website or any link to activities in Nigeria? Be wise.

One man corporate scam

Iffe Ijumu, that's the place i served. Oh death why!

Beedude:
I guess u didn't see my last sentence.
Read again then u see we are on the same page and this mention isn't necessary.

I'm not against your thoughts. It's just an addition. I guess i shouldn't have quoted you.

Beedude:
Hmmmm

It's a good thing u are'nt satisfied being a contract staff.
Even better u have an online biz as backup.

I don't know if u are the career type of person
OR
A business oriented person.

If u are business oriented person ask urself questions like :
1. Where do u see ur online business in 2-5yrs time
2. Are u ready to stick by the business no matter the challenge u face during the teething period?

If u aren't strong emotionally, going fully into ur business might bring regrets. And once u regret starting a business, it means u are left with zero zeal.

I personally chose business and investment over paid employment cos of my old age.
I will rather keep making money myself than waiting for stipends(pension).

But before u resign from ur job, kindly make sure ur online business is grounded and yielding exellent returns.

Don't resign to start your business if you don't have up to 15 paying clients. My job left me during the pandemic and I already had my business as a side business but my client base was big . Infact I was planning on leaving but fear of the unknown was the issue. Now i make more than my salary every month. Though I have returning customers with yearly subscription and they also refer other businesses to me.

FAKOLADE SAMUEL, this thing you're doing to this girl is not good ooo
