Oga Mack, let's talk about pepper... How do you find a balance when you cook?
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by MackyNaija(m): 9:54pm On Dec 16, 2019
smartkester:
bro please what is/are the best certification courses someone that has masters in engineering in Nigeria can run when he gets to US that can boost his chances of landing a good job?, a chemical engineering graduate to be more specific.
I skipped it previously, sorry..

What I have discovered so far, they have more faith when you complete an academic program here e.g a bachelors or masters, certifications can be added.

An enrollment in a degree gives you an internship, an internships gives you american work experiences, which makes a fulltime search 'easier'. Certification is not primary in Engineering. My opinion tho.


Most chemical engineering job postings require you to be a USCitizen mostly or PermRes. Here no deh allow opt at all for that line.

Like a friend did - started with chemical, switched to environmental and then industrial after attending career fairs and guaging job availability in those fields.
You can't compare the opportunities as an Opt holder.

Use jalapeno, it's the flavored one I talk about.

Or cook 2 - your own with atarodo then use jalapeno for her own.
