Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Are Nigerian Graduates Employable? by N2B2:
An interesting write-up, @mollie2.

It presents a few hard-hitting questions.

Unfortunately, it also reads like a tirade typical of the average low-paying Nigerian employer with a god complex.

The rant starts from your title: "Are Nigerian graduates employable?"

Fresh graduates have little to no experience and will typically seek entry-level jobs to gain experience.

On average, hiring managers forward 3-4 job vacancies/offers to me each week, asking me for candidates I can refer to them for one job opportunity or the other.
Are these hiring managers looking to fill vacant entry level positions? Because there's no shortage of young graduates out there searching for their first jobs.

Let's look at some of your points.

1. Lack a can-do attitude...
Yes, a can-do attitude is a mindset valued in the workplace.

However, you mention nothing about can-do attitudes here.

Instead, because you had one bad experience, you jeer at the unemployed who lament Nigeria's failed employment systems.

The least you could do is do research on what the role entails...
That's what the job requirements section of your job posting is for. No research needed.

Religious fanaticism. You hear of candidates that tell interviewers that they cannot come to work on Fridays. Or that they have to leave early on Wednesdays for choir practice.

Imagine what the interviewers think of such candidates.
What interviewers think of such candidates is irrelevant.

How is wanting to go to church on weekdays religious fanaticism?

You seem incensed that applicants want to maintain lives outside their workplace.

The title of this point should have been: "A lack of workplace fanaticism."

4. Entitlement mentality. [Motivational speakers] sold this stupendous idea to young people that they can get a job that will earn them millions with almost zero experience.
A lie cleverly intended to mask the ridiculousness of the next statement you make.

See next quote:

They convince them to toss aside "low-paying" jobs and demand to be paid "their worth". They lie to them that only paid internships should be pursued.
I said it - a typical low-paying employer, seeking "rockstar" talents to pay peanuts to.

For those reading, never let anyone convince you that you aren't worth reasonable pay, even if you have little to no experience.

Employers don't only pay for your skill; they pay for your time and effort, too.

If you don't have in-demand, hot skills that are scarce, be ready to take up that peanut-paying job and that unpaid internship to learn what you need to learn to be in demand. It is called stooping to conquer.
It is called slave labor, indicative of the terrible workplace you run.

Conclusion:

This rant-like write-up is just a demand for employee subservience.

Unpaid internships, peanut-paying yet high-demanding jobs... all unreasonable demands of fresh graduates.

And unreasonable demands breed hostile workplaces.

Try again.

This time, try to put yourself in the shoes of the unemployed when you write.

No game is an "easy win" for Man Utd.

In fact, as the club be, it will struggle against a 3rd division team.

This Middlesbrough they're struggling against is in 7th position in the 2nd division.

I hope thunder tickled his blokos on the way out.

Admittedly, Woodward had the hands for money-making, but those same hands oversee some of the worst seasons in United's modern history.

It's a shame Ole wasn't sacked earlier. The damage he caused the club will take a while and a proper manager to fix. I was happy to see United dispose of some of the riffraff during the January transfer window.

I hope the rest of the thrash in our squad is sold at the end of the season.

The question is; what has his offensive play brought to the team? Are you aware that he adds more pressure to the defence because he doesn't return just in time? Are you also aware of more crosses coming in through his positionhuh

United should look for a better right-back who can contribute to goals and score as well because Dalot isn't doing either.
Dalot's offensive runs has made the team more dangerous down the right flank.

Dalot looks to carry the ball forward a lot, allowing Mcsauce to make piercing runs down the middle to receive a pass, and gives Greenwood/Sancho passes further forward.

Yes, Utd needs better fullbacks, but the impact Dalot has had is clear to see.

And, yes, Dalot crosses. He hasn't played as many games as AWB, but the man crosses... more accurately then AWB imho.

frankson1:
You can't compare the players you mentioned with Dalot because he doesn't provide anything in attack coupled with the fact that he's very useless defensively.
I'm not putting Dalot on their level.

I'm saying, when United is on the market for fullbacks, they'll certainly look for players that drive the ball forwards and are quick on their feet.

Dalot does that better than AWB. Dalot may not be as defensively sound as AWB, but I believe he's a better RB.

frankson1:
What has his offensive game brought, how many crosses has he made that led to a goal.
Abeg, AWB is still far ahead of him defensively.
Do you know 1 things the premiere league's big sides have in common? Offensive fullbacks.

These fullbacks can attack as well as defend. They overlap on the wings to provide width and support the wingers in bringing the ball forwards.


Cancelo, Trent, Robertson, Digne... check their stats. They overlap and cross a lot.

AWB, on the other hand, is useless. He can't keep possession, neither can he cross. All he has in his arsenal are slide tackles.

He should rest abeg.

The first half is over. Here are a few things to note:

- Telles is average defensively: he doesn't run to recover misplaced passes. He's just glued to that left-wing like say him buy land there.

- Fred is useless: no creativity, no vision, and no awareness. The instant he gets the ball, his heart rate spikes, and he rushes to give it away.

- Greenwood is selfish.: the same complaint every match. He doesn't pass when he needs to.

- Dalot is selfish: Granted, he's more offensively aware than AWB, but he's becoming selfish. The instant he beats his marker, he should PASS!

Fred too dey fear.

If you just give am ball, e go find who to pass to fast fast. Even if it's a rubbish pass.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: 5 Game-changing Tips To Boost Your Upwork Earnings In 2022 by N2B2: 8:00pm On Jan 17, 2022
Udoboss:
But if you formulate unique proposal for every job, you might end up between 20 to 50..

So, is there a shortcut to submitting unique proposal and still be on time??
Upwork is a highly competitive platform. You should always expect others to submit proposals for the jobs you're interested in.

Just take Jaycobb's superb advice: showcase your best work in your Upwork portfolio and, using the description of the job you're applying for (which you should read really well to understand what the client needs help with), sell yourself as an expert with engaging proposals.

Then, leave the rest for God.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Bruno Fernandes Rejects New Manchester United Contract by N2B2(op): 1:03pm On Jan 17, 2022
Bruno Fernandes and Manchester United have shelved contract extension talks until the summer, according to reports.

It's understood that the Portugal international rejected an offer from the club late last year and the two have decided to wait until the end of the season to discuss the matter again.


Neither party is in any particularly rush given that Fernandes' deal doesn't expire until 2025, but it's thought the player wants clarity on what next season will look like at Old Trafford before thinking about an extension.

With interim head coach Ralf Rangnick set to leave his post in the summer, United's next managerial appointment could be key in enticing Fernandes back to the table.

Paris Saint Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino remains favourite for the job, but Ajax's Erik ten Hag and Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers are also in the running.

Fernandes signed a £180,000-a-week deal after joining United in January 2020, but after a stellar first year in English football the club decided they wanted to bump up his salary to better reflect his importance to the team.

This season, Fernandes' form has been heavily scrutinised and he's struggled to have the same impact he once had on the side, which adds another dimension to future negotiations - which are expected to resume in May.

Though according to The Athletic, both sides are relaxed about the situation and are under no pressure to settle anything this year.

Romance › Re: Sex With My Co-Worker. I'm In Big Trouble by N2B2: 10:33pm On Jan 15, 2022
You shouldn't have defended her the first time.

That way, if she comes to spill the beans, you can deny it, and your uncle will believe you. But you've defended her before, and your uncle is suspicious of you.

Now, she has now shown you her true colors.

Puci isn't free, and it's time to pay the piper.

My advice: meet your uncle and come clean. Apologize sincerely for actions, and tell him you'll accept any punishment he gives. Then, pray (pray o!) that he gives you a chance. But it is better he hears it from you than from her!

Moral of the story: don't have flings with co-workers. It's never a good idea.

The problem of MU is 10 percent coaching and 90 percent player quality. The quality of the players is abysmally poor. With a team with players like Elanga, Fred and old donkey Matic then, a conglomerate of coaches can do nothing.
Fred and Matic should go; I agree with you on that.

But Elanga? ELANGA?! Are you watching this match? He's easily Utd's motm in the first half. He's fast, makes incredible runs, can press, and isn't afraid to take on the opponent's fullbacks. He's the exact opposite of Rashford.

Yes, Man Utd needs a huge coaching staff overhaul, too. Fletcher, for example, should be flogged seriously first, and then fired from the club.

Maguire, Rashford, Martial, Matic, Lingard, Wan Bissaka, Fred, and Mctominay should all be sold.

Shame on the coach
The coach or the midfielders themselves? shocked

Matic is old and Fred is an Aba-made CM who can't pass and isn't a tenacious ball winner. Instead of Man Utd to get a proper CDM, they went to buy VDB.

I hope United gets one of their target CDMs in this January window, and you'll see change.

Tbh, I don't see anything wrong with today's lineup.

Elanga balled well for the youth team; he's even playing well down that left flank today.

He just needs game time, and he may be a valuable left winger for us. Rashford is out of form.

Greenwood is from the youth team, too. Sancho plays right better, so he may come on for Greenwood.

Jaycobbs:
I was scrolling through my Upwork feed.

I saw a job post for proofreaders and editors.

I wrote a proposal and forgot about it.

This is the proposal I wrote:

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a6/b6/f7/a6b6f7ef4ef82075b6df529799b6bbeb.jpg

Some days later, the client responds with an invitation for the interview.

From Upwork, we moved on to Skype.

I got to answer a questionnaire that contained 14 questions.

Then they asked even more questions after I submitted the questionnaire.

This is how it ended.

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/26/71/59/2671592ef03328207afa0e69d95de19d.jpg

Easy peasy. All very easy to do.

You only need to know what you're about and stand out as the best.

Cheers!
What a powerful proposal, second only to your interview answers in brilliance! Your post has taught this top-rated freelancer a thing or two; thank you!

Business › Re: Loan Apps: I Have Used My Hands To Bury Myself by N2B2: 10:27am On Jan 12, 2022
Degunners:
Thanks. Do you know any of these financial institution I can approach to consolidate my loans. I have to get the therapy, not just because of the loan but to sort out the root cause of the problem.

I grew up in a home where we couldn't afford most things and I so much hated it, so I really don't know how to handle lack.
The bold line is your problem: you're already looking for another loan, which you know you cannot repay.

Even if a benefactor came to your aid, you'd still go back to taking loans. You may start with a small amount you can pay back, and then another small amount, and another... Boom, you're back to square one.

Your OP is a tirade laced with self-pity. You're not angry at yourself that you aren't reaching proper life goals; you're just sad that your borrowing habit has caught up with you. Worse, you're used to embarrassment [the terrible type only loan companies can bring]. It doesn't seem to bother you.

All the therapy in this world won't help you if you aren't determined to ditch your borrowing habit. It's sad because you went as far as using your wife's account to take loans (as you said in another post here).

Things will change the day you decide you've had it.
