Hebraeem: I am in IT but not in this particular field hence why I rather not answer since I am no expert If you dont see someone inside then manage this advice ......lol... it's a generic advice which I use to guide people close to me. UK is very work focus and less of education for a lot of sector however it good to have the MSC to use as stepping stone into the country. Now start to build your resume. Look at the internet to see if you can find people in that industry cv or resume. It would give you an idea of the skills set . If you can find at least 10.do not plagiarized but use it as a guide. It would give you insight into INDUSTRY skills or software u need to learn Then try to build yourself up toward those skills. If you have such relevant work experience great. If you dont then start learning it and practise them . Use your master year to really build yourself up on what expected in the industry Then sit and write that Cv......Offcourse it only what you can defend or articulate that put down . Doing a good cv will get you to front of the house, selling yourself well will get u inside the house and most importantly delivering with keep you in the house . So dont play with those 3. A lot can be self development if you dont have the skills from Nigeria...... That is still sellable (self developed skills it's all how you can articulate it on cv and in an interview) . For IT the regular jobsite such as jobsite, jobserve etc usually is enough. Jobs are posted and you just keep applying. A good Cv will usually get a call back so that Cv has to be on point . I cannot comment on graduate scheme jobs as I have no experience in that line Another disclaimer this was pre covid ....I dont know what post covid looks like. My industry has completely dried up..... chei, but God dey. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

**** Good discussion on raising up one's children.. That brought me out of my Nairaland hiatus.. I am personally learning on that and I hope to get there.. I do not want my children to be afraid of me cos I sometimes see that fear in them when I raise my voice.. I have stopped spanking because I can't imagine having a run with SS. The spanking sef na smal small abara on the bum but DH and I have agreed not to do that again. Understand your child and develop the best ways to raise them. For me, I am trying to train them in the way of the Lord, praying they stay and not depart from it.. 4 Likes |

Hebraeem: Data analytics is gaining ground rapidly in the IT world. Your remit would be to produce dependable business insights, metrics, bus. intelligence, and easily understandable dashboards to mostly senior management. Look into learning tools like PowerBI, Tableau and if possible SAP Business Objects. Some knowledge of SQL will not go amiss. Good luck as you embark on this journey. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Hi, I just got back on here. Thank you for the advice. I am a novice myself who switched career path, that's why I have been adamant on connecting with someone, not necessarily an expert. The covid situation was another issue I was very concerned about. I believe your advice will go a long way for me. Thank you again. LagosismyHome: 1 Like |

Thank you for your advice. It is quite insightful. I'm grateful. Please are there any common certifications one should get to stand out in this field? And how much can you say COVID has impacted this emerging field in terms of job availability? Thank you. wonlasewonimi: 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: Very good advice. It’s literally what I tell my mentees. I tell them to Look at a job spec of their dream job and build themselves to the point that they can tick all of them off. I’m also happy that you pointed out that UK doesn’t care about degrees. If I could advise this person, it will be that they should change that course to computing because data is too narrow. Computing gives the opportunity to be anything, provided they certify! The world changes every day, the last thing anyone wants is to be stuck in Data when a new thing comes and replaces Data. Hebraeem, please post this in the student section, if you’re from there. So students stop limiting themselves. 2 Likes |
