Where we are presently today, we all need to be vigilant.
As for me, my girlfriend can never cook and serve my only food, NEVER.
We do eat together and she never for once change that.
A girl cannot kill me for my mom.

Ma'am please mind your speech and the kind of messages you send to your husband, especially when there is a misunderstanding or when you're angry.
I have decided to be doing the same to my woman too because whenever we quarrel the kind of badmouth she will use in disqualify you no be for here. It's just to show her when needed and nothing more.
She will remind you of how you do this and that in which 70% are not true.
So, I beg you to mind your messages you sent him.
Also, speech are easy to forgive sometimes than messages, remember it will be there forever.
I pray to God to fix every necessary things in your marriage.

This is a very great idea, but I'm wondering if they will be serious about learning the stuff.
But that will keep them to be staying though and make them grab the opportunity but they will later disappoint you in the end, I'm talking from my experience but mine was in a digital marketing niche.
Anyway, I am interested in the programming stuff too and I will be glad if you can tutor me as well.

Your brother is gullible.
In this era of the internet, he still chooses to be submitting a CV 11years after leaving school.
Anyway, get someone that can advise him and learn any digital skill for about 6 months and come back later for the opportunities waiting for him.
My story is far worse than his some years back but I'm grateful to God right now, although I haven't reach my goal but it is certain I will get there.
I wish him well.

Help! I have an assignment on community management specifically on cryptocurrency.
I need help to fulfil the task.
I will be glad if anyone can help me, I will inbox the task to your mail.
Thanks in advance

Can I learn Dapp/Web3 development without any knowledge of coding or programming before?

Never say that again, we know how much Adeleke's tried for the people of Osun State during the Covid19 pandemic.
Better keep shut if you never know anything, they are God sent with a very nice gesture even when he was robbed of his mandate. He's still performing than the sitting governor.

Mooh247:



Who English help....

How many Chinese Engineers can speak fluent English....

Well if you intend to get proficient in English, then download Duolingo , Memrise or FluentU applications for Android and learn on your own at your leisure time


.

You're partially right, but on some occasions maybe during an interview even though you are good at what you do best but spicing things up with fluent English is always a problem.
I appreciate your advice though and I'm going to try out those apps

qekng40:
Read books, watch movies (not Nigerian) , and self train.

Thanks a lot. I'm so grateful

Cutehector:
Please be reading books To improve your vocabulary.

Thanks for this piece of advice

Help! I am about to finish my 300L stage in one of Nigeria state polytechnics but I am losing many opportunities due to my inability to speak fluently in English language. Although, I am good in typing/writing and I can compose my self in good English in my brain but it is very difficult whenever I open my mouth.
Any suggestion for improvement are welcome.
Thanks Nairalanders.

I certainly thought this way for the first half of my 25+ years in digital marketing. People would advise me to set goals and make things happen for myself.

But I didn’t follow their advice. The result? I fell behind my peers. People I trained were promoted ahead of me.

If you take nothing else away from this article, remember this: Your career is your own. Read on to learn four tips that should help you take charge of it.

Tip 1: Grow your professional network
As the old saying goes, “It’s not what you know, but who you know.” And it’s true: people tend to work with those they know and trust. That’s why networking is so important, both online and in-person.

Referrals can be a tremendous asset, not just when you’re looking for a job. All three of my agency jobs resulted from referrals from people I met at conferences.

LinkedIn is the go-to online resource for professional networking. Hiring managers and recruiters often go there first when looking for potential candidates or researching potential candidates. At least one or two recruiters view my profile every week.

So keep your LinkedIn profile up-to-date. Use a professional-looking headshot. Make sure to fill out every field you possibly can, from your job history to your training and other experience. Optimize your profile like you would optimize any website you work on for a client.

In-person networking can be a bit more challenging these days, but certainly not impossible. Take advantage of local professional groups and more general groups (e.g., Chamber of Commerce, business development). Public service groups like Elks or American Legion can be a great source of friendships and networking.

Tip 2: Continue your education
Change is constant. This is undoubtedly true in digital marketing, where search engine algorithms are updated almost daily, paid search techniques continue to evolve, website technology changes regularly. If you aren’t a perpetual student of your craft, you will fall behind.

Reading is essential. It not only helps you learn more about your work, but it also helps you expand your mind to think in different ways.

Many stats cite that most people stop reading non-fiction books after finishing their formal education. Some of those claims may be a bit exaggerated. Still, Pew Research found that roughly a quarter of American adults did not read a book during the previous year. Don’t be a member of that group!

Read about more than just work stuff, too. Biographies, self-help, and other works can be beneficial.

Part of my reading program is going through digital marketing websites. I have the Feedly app set up on my tablet to go through the RSS feeds of Search Engine Land, Search Engine Roundtable, and other digital marketing-related websites. The news and opinions I read from those sources are invaluable to my continuing education.

Professional conferences are a great way to continue your education and build your networking skills. Many conferences have continued in virtual mode, while others are starting to return to in-person. When you’re just starting, it is beneficial to stick to conferences with sessions that will help you get better at your work.

Later, though, when you have more experience, learn about other aspects of your trade as well. One of the things that have helped me in my career is knowing at least the basics of how different areas of digital marketing work. Being able to help knit an overall strategy is extremely valuable.

Digital marketing expert Joe Hall recently asked on Twitter: “Have you ever been to an SEO conference? If so, tell me about your favorite presentation you saw. What was it about? And what did you like about it?”

My answer: “There have been many. The ones I enjoy the most are the ones that make me think about things differently that I can apply to the work I do.”

I meant that that sincerely. There have been far too many people to list out in tweets whose conference presentations have helped me do my work better.

Lastly, set up your own website if you’re doing SEO or website development work. It’s amazing what you can learn just playing around with a website that doesn’t carry as much risk as playing around with a client’s website. All you need to do is invest a couple of hundred dollars a year. Another way to have a website is to volunteer to help out a charity you support. They will appreciate the assistance, and you get a platform on which you can hone your skills.

Tip 3: Always be ready for your next job
Looking for a job can feel like a full-time job itself, and you never know when you will need to look for a job. Having an up-to-date resume at the ready will help you if that time ever comes.

Avoid using fancy templates for your resumes. Many automated recruiting systems use a parsing system to pull the resume into their applicant management system. Some fancy formatting will completely throw off the importing of the data. It’s OK to have a nicely-formatted version to email, but if asked to upload a copy, use a plain format.

Read the full job description before you apply for a job. Never rely on the job title alone to guide you. Otherwise, you will waste the recruiting manager’s time and your own.

At some agencies, SEO people are called “analysts.” I can’t tell you how many resumes I would get from people who specialized in data analytics because of the job title, regardless of how carefully I worded the job description in the posting to make it clear it was an SEO job. I finally told our recruiter to do a text search on any resumes. If neither “SEO” nor “search engine optimization” were found, then I didn’t want the person forwarded to me for consideration.

Tip 4: Find a job that fulfills you
It’s incredible how many people work jobs they hate just because they need a paycheck. I understand that sometimes it’s necessary to do so, but if you hate your job, you have the freedom to go and find something else.

I know many people who have completely reinvented themselves and moved from one career to another. It’s OK to do that. You need to find a job that pays the bills and makes you want to get up in the morning and not dread Mondays.

While we all can’t make money working on our hobbies, it’s always possible to apply something you enjoy doing to a job that can earn you a living. Part of this formula, I believe, is learning to work on your strengths. While it’s good to identify weak areas in your work and improve upon those, always working in a job where you struggle is bad for your long-term mental health.

Being fulfilled at work is being part of a team with a great culture. You’ve probably read or heard about “The Great Resignation.” Sesil Pir opined in a recent Forbes article that what’s happening is something she termed “The Great Awakening.” People are awakening to the realization that they don’t have to work in a crappy, dead-end job for companies that don’t value them.

While progressions of salary and titles are great, they shouldn’t be the focus of your career. Yes, you should be compensated for the value you bring to an organization, but money and titles aren’t everything.

In the end, it’s wonderful to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and know that you’re doing great work that is helpful.

Summary: Make yourself indispensable
If you haven’t heard this saying yet, remember it: hope isn’t a strategy. Now is the perfect time to take your career destiny into your own hands. You want to make yourself, as Seth Godin expressed it in his book of a similar title, “indispensable.”
