I recently got Promasidor's invite for analyst/programmer assessment center after passing their online test. I have never undergone an assessment center for a programmer's position. I would highly appreciate it if someone who has undergone their programmers assessment center or something similar share their experience here.

jinka:
I finished my NYSC in 2016 at the age of 27yrs and since then I have been teaching in a primary school here in Ilorin with a salary of 20k hoping that one day I will see a befitting job, it's over 2yrs now without a job. I can't continue with this teaching again because it has been hell right from day one and I'm not getting any younger cos I'm 29yrs.

The problem right now is that the guy I have been squating with wants me to leave his house because he will be getting married soon . Within this 2yrs I have been teaching, I was able to save up to 250k because I engaged myself in some extra lesson after closing, sometines I starve myself to have savings and also because I dont pay rent.

Now I'm confused about what to do, whether I should use the money for accommodation , or use the money to start a physical business (buying and selling) or use the money to acquire ICT skills ( if there will be job after the skill acquisition) or maybe I should just go for my masters.

Pls nairalanders your humble brother really needs solid advice on how to go about this.

If you want to aquire ICT skills like app/web development you should be ready to put in at least one year of consistent practice and learning to gain a steady foundation. I will suggest you continue with teaching and home tutoring for students. Go to your church meet parents tell them you can tutor their kids (private home lessons). Then do the ICT skill acquisition at the side. I will suggest u buy a course on Udemy where get videos from some of the best programmers in the field. I will advice you buy "the complete Web developer course 2.0". You won't regret you made this decision. This particular udemy course is richer than alot of 4years computer science programs in Nigerian Universities.

Spring is the most popular framework when building Java Enterprise Edition (EE) applications. Its core feature is dependency injection which results in inversion of control.
Best thing about Spring is you can have numerous tools and APIs in your Java project and there would be one thing keeping them together, Spring.

This is jst showmanship combined with unseriousness. I wonder when nigerians will fully understand what true leaership entails.
