That was me 4 years ago – after landing my first major job in Germany. And in no time I was travelling around Europe..... until the next opportunity came.... and then next, and the next....

I look fresh there, it was about a year after my postgraduate studies (M.Sc. Infection Biology, University of Lübeck). When I received the invite to the interview, I was super excited; positive, enthusiastic, confident……… and all optimistic feelings you can think about. I have had interviews before then, but they were all virtual, this was going to be the first physical interview.

You must have heard/read that you can work in Germany without the German language; that's true, so read on.

The job post was in English; Company’s website: in English; no option to even change it to German or other languages. My job application was sent in English; First feedback to the application sent in English; Invitation to interview was sent by the company in English! Wow! What more could I ask for? Although I could speak some German then, but having a job interview in English was way much better for me.

I could not ask for more – on top of the above, the offer was in Munich – one of the highest paying cities in Germany. Even if you will probably spend most of it on house rent and perhaps groceries, Munich is a beautiful city to leave in, so it’d all be good anyway.

I was so sure of getting the job and was already making accommodation plans. I prepared in the best ways possible – at least, I thought and rehearsed my speeches and possible answers to potential questions a million times. Since the interview would be in English (logically it should), I was confident in myself – actually, I was overconfident.

Anyways, just in case I had to talk to someone at the reception, I pocketed precisely enough German to get me across to the interview room (I thought to myself… lol ?). Well, things started changing slowly when I arrived a bit too early – 20 minutes before the time and was informed (by one of the interviewers, in German), to go and hang around for a while and come back just shortly before the interview time: Welcome to Germany – the land of precision! Being late is not accepted, coming too early praised is neither accepted.

I came back right in time as was asked to. To show good manners, I exchanged greetings with the interviewers (two of them) in German, hoping that’d be it (my pocketed German was already running out!!??). The first interviewer proceeded to introduce himself, and then the second, and then I did – all in German. And I thought to myself, ‘when will the real interview begin?’

The real interview continued as the first person started describing the company. I had to interrupt, to ask if the language of the interview is German: ‘Oh yes, it is. Didn’t you know that?’ He asked. I was like, ‘no! I did not expect it at all………’ I explained how every step so far in the application process was in English until now. The first tension in the meeting ensued – I was caught off guard and I started sweating in my nice suit! Lol, ? I laugh about it today, but not then.

To cut a long story short, we had some arguments on which language to interview in. Of course, they understood my points but wouldn’t accept it since it is a German company and most of the colleagues in the laboratory are native German speakers – there was hardly a chance that I would work in English. I should have thought about that earlier. In the end, we had a compromise – the interview was conducted in Denglisch! Heard that before?

That experience taught me that, you could never be over-prepared for anything. When you are taken by surprise and feel disappointed, let it be a lesson that’d propel you to the next level. I learned my lessons that day and sent all subsequent applications in German ONLY – thanks to the good friends that supported me then. If the communication turned out to be in English, that’s several pluses for me!

Amongst other things to learn, I sure did learn the following:

Be open to changes and if one way does not work, try another
You could never be too prepared – look deeper than the logical procedures
Prepare for the worst. If things go all Gucci, then you can call it luck!
Join an active study abroad community, ask questions and make meaningful contributions.
Keep expanding your network of professional friends, especially those abroad; you need them for their experience.

Beginning to think it’s from their end.

Probably the size of your documents

ngoziwrites:
Yes. I don't sound desperate. I have never even mentioned any of these things. Anytime he says things like marriage is hardwork or probably any topic related to marriage, I don't say anything at all.

I just think I should ask now, so we are sure we are looking in the same direction.

Usually, people start relationships with asking a lot of questions. But we didn't start that way. I thought we would even ask basic questions when we see. But we didn't.

He hasn't asked my goals, my plans etc. I want to ask to but he is the one with more power in the relationship. It's his call. So, I can't ask him.

My friend to be honest his not into you,but better still be bold enough to asked him when next you guys meet, asked him what are his plans in the next two years, what is his type of lady as a wife, is tribe a barrier to him that is if you guys are not from same tribe.listin carefully to his response, though he mite say something just to please yoh when he noticed your mood, but be rest assured to read carefully what his saying look directly into his face, if what his saying it lies he mite not look into your face.

For those who have issue with bvn not provided and payroll tab " no payment data available.

Check out this solution: Go to your deployment tab, click on verify account details, input all your bvn and bank details, download the deployment letter and thats it. Go back to overview tab and check your bvn status again it should've changed.


Wait for 24hrs for the payroll system to change. After that you're good to go.

It did not work, thought I so bvn provided but on the payroll side it say no payment data

ezenwaez:
Most Npower Batch C volunteers are beginning to receive credit alert and majority have started viewing their payroll history via the payroll tab.

Please this payment is for September, Npower beneficiaries will be paid for October very soon, therefore all Npower Batch C volunteers are implored to exercise a great deal of patience.

Information online shows that quite a number of Npower Batch C beneficiaries are yet to be paid, please the payment sequence and progress should be monitored by Npower volunteers on the Npower NASIMS portal.

The sequence is as follows below:

1) No Payment Data
2) Pay roll shows "pending"
3) Pay roll shows "processing" at this stage it is certain an Npower Batch C volunteer will definitely be paid
4) Pay roll shows "Confirmed" this displays when payment is made to the Npower Batch C volunteer.

My own showing no payment data

We used to be lovers back in uni , We broke up at some point and lost contact. Earlier this year we reconnected at a party and it was obvious we still had feelings for each other.

We started dating and everything seemed nice at first. He never told me he was married. After months of dating , i started to get suspicious as he wouldn't let me visit his home , instead he was always coming to mine and meeting up at hotels. We had a big fight about it and he finally told me the truth. He kept on pleading and asking that we continue dating. I couldn't even leave if I wanted to, I was in love with him.

I am 2 months pregnant and he has been avoiding me. He calls just once in two days and has told me to do whatever I want with the pregnancy , that he is fine with my decisions. I want to keep him and the baby and I'm scared he may ghost up on me. Last night I found his wife and some of his relatives on Facebook and I want to send them texts about it. I really need advise on this.

When you ware shouting harder harder did you call us? Abi u no no say the man don Marry? Deal with it

RedEnergy:
You're very correct and i agree with you. But my question is, why are they stealing people's emails to setup fake applications? Because i have never applied to FRSC in my life before. This is my 1st time trying and miraculously all my 3 emails are already associated with FRSC. Imagine that high level of recruitment fraud.

Oga I hard same issue with you,but I open a new email and am done with my registration now

Since you don't intend to work for the government or anyone, you may need to give a hint about your business else your request would look vague.

Graduated since 2017, no reasonable thing since then.

Frustration and depression has turned me to a sadist.
