If yes fine, you will sure stand out,I'd no you need to get that done ASAP to increase chances of getting a better job I've worked as a Social Media Manager before. I have a strong presence on LinkedIn also which I think is the most important media channel i can use to achieve my goal. Thank you for your response. |

The names that appear multiple times will be replaced with new people. It's a system of leaving slots for the people that are willing to pay.
This is very common with government recruitment. The system is already dead in Nigeria. I'm not seeing any hope of Nigeria rising again. |

yanabasee1: Packaging and your limitless skills....
Having a customer service skills should not limit you from adding public relations skills and financially risk management skills and other relevant skills to your acquired experience.
Building up yourself will advance your chances of getting better paid jobs.
You'll be seen as an asset when you have many skills to be put into actions when an employer sees you as someone they can't do without...You use that opportunity to hike your pay. Thank you. I think I will need to add more non customer service related skills I'll sure start one today. |

ResumesByKay: There could be a lot of reasons why you didn't get a high paying customer service position when you were in Abuja. But I'll advise you to try something different from what you have been doing, here are some.
1. Your resume is outdated:- After working 6 years in a customer service position, chances are that you have gained additional skill, certification or a recognition of some sort. You could have learnt how to use a new software. No matter how little, your resume should be updated with the tiniest bit of information. The resume you used to get a job 6 years ago shouldn't be the one you should use now. And most importantly, make sure the resume is taillored for customer service roles.
2. LinkedIn presence:- Just like Facebook and IG, everyone should be on, it's where job vacancies are posted, you can connect with Hiring Managers, and opportunities are shared daily. We are in the era where one needs to consistently talk about what he/she does. Your first step is to have an optimised LinkedIn profile.
3. Certification:- The requirements between a high and low paying job are definitely not the same. You might need to show competence for you to get hired. Cetifications are an awesome way to show competence as you would have gained additional knowledge in the field. There are free courses flying around, some even come with certifications. Uploading this certs will definitely improve your chances of being hired
4:- Applying sporadically:- Once you have tailored your resume to suit customer service position ( by this I mean using relevant keywords and resume formatting that will capture the attention of a Recruiter), then you get on job board like jobberman and applying with a well written cover letter. Make sure to use the filter because not all job will suit you. Thank you for your advice I have a strong presence on LinkedIn and I constantly update my CV. I also paid a whopping some to a professional CV writer to rewrite my CV. I have certifications also, both from offline courses and online courses like LinkedIn Learning and EDX |

Dear professionals on Nairaland,
I lived and worked in Abuja for six years before relocating to Lagos last month. The reason for my relocation is my inability to get a well paying job in the capital city even though I have almost five years experience n Customer Service
Now that i am in Lagos, I need your advice on how I can get a better job in Lagos. I have been applying for Customer Service roles and also had two interviews within three weeks of relocation.
I haven't done a job that paid well throughout my five years of post NYSC experience.
Your advice is highly needed. Thank you. |

Travel › Re: COVID-19: Domestic Flights Won’t Resume On June 21 – FG by Phlegman: 8:03am On Jun 12, 2020 |
The issue of opening the skies can not be resolved soon.
The federal government wants airlines to be transporting 50% of their passengers in observance of social distancing but the airlines do not agree to this simply because of the money they will loose carrying half of their expected number of passengers.
For this reason, the aviation industry may never be ready for reopening of the skies. |
Career › Re: Ever Lost A Job Doing The Right Thing? My Experience Doing One by Phlegman: 6:33pm On May 04, 2020 |
My experience was in 2015 immediately after NYSC.
I got a job with STARTIMES in Abuja as a Call Centre Agent. We started in-house training of their CRM templates
Quite a number of us are fresh graduates then. When it was time for tests after the training, I saw people bringing out their phones and copying answers in order to score high marks. My conscience wouldn't let me join them and so I finished the exams.
When the results came out, I was below by one mark. Regardless of this, I was happy and contented with what happened afterwards.
The corruption in Nigeria is just too much. |

Dear Nairalanders,
I got a new social media gig from a client in New York.
The job is to gain massive followers on Instagram and running the page daily.
How can I gain followers for a new account on Instagram?.
These followers will be Americans because the account is targeted at Americans.
Opinions and suggestions are highly needed. Thank you |
