Hi, can you please share the Nearest VAC center in Nigeria for Malta if you know?

What's VAC ? that should be VFS

Emeraldfynest:
Yes we're totally done and he doesn't have any corrections or review about the job. But if I end the contract myself, that means I've closed any chances of him leaving a review right?

I just ended contracts from 1 year ago, most don't bother to leave a review if you don't ask. I have tons of projects completed without reviews.

BRATISLAVA:
A lot of people are in relationships but still alone. Sometimes it's mental illness/depression.

But ideally a relationship is a good place to be. She appears to be married.

Wow that's just sad

This is why I encourage people to be in relationship, she would have had someone to confide in, or share her problems with, or lighten her burden. This is just sad.

Sounds like good news to me, quit tarnishing our reputation, this makes it hard for some of us to do business overseas once the name "Nigerian" is mentioned.

PussyPunisher:
E pain am!

no mind me, I just dey find trouble that day.

If your resume ATS complaint ?

Also for LinkedIn it's good to post articles around your toolset, network, join Groups, I've gotten employed off LinkedIn and gotten contract jobs but not much.

Also if you are a virtual assistant, join a group, find out the tool of the trade, learn, have a portfolio.

Applying for jobs on LinkedIn no longer cuts anymore, you have to go beyond.

Ciao

The punishment for rape is not death sentence.

It would be in my book.

I'd love for his death instead that will be more satisfying.

Thanks cuz I've been panicking since the last suspension.

Good evening everyone.

As a graphic designer, is Upwork a good platform for me?

Always search for Nigerian Graphic designers on Upwork, do some research and see what your peers are doing, that will show you what to learn and what niche field to look into.

Used them all, the best is the one the employer is paying me to use.

PussyPunisher:
It would have been better for you to just keep quiet

C++ and I'm still going to learn it very well before I die

Jaycobbs:


It's been a minute on this great platform.

Got messaged by a client. He has an Upwork history and a 100% hire rate. To do the job, he was asking for my email to send me some documents. I told him Upwork prohibits communication outside Upwork.

He didn't reply again, and when I checked again, he'd cancelled the job.

I dey reason message the guy again, but it's risky.

MY QUESTION: If one were to take a risk and share their emails on Upwork, is there anything that can be done to make sure the bots don't get you? Cos it seems Upwork has revamped their bots in recent times.

Like on Fiverr, they put spacing between the email address

I want to see if I can tease the client back if I give him the email.

I shared email today but I explained to the woman that it's my name AT google and that I can't spell it for her. so she understood, you can't share until they create a contract.

Blaqq2:
I've come accrossed the tax
How should I configure it.

I used my TIN

Sureshegsy:
Thank you for the response. One of my guy got blocked recently on Upwork because of the location stuff they ask him for loaction reverification and he couldn't pass it. I changed back to Nigeria now, because I have a long term client and I don't want to jeopardize that.


Please do you know how I can stop Upwork from charging me 7.5% VAT?

Did you configure the W-BEN ? I've never come across that Tax, do you have a screenshot of that. Upwork is not playing with blocking people.

Vicky2k:
There is also Grey and Payoneer.

Payoneer has never worked for me

Suicideboy:
Front end is saturated just like web design especially in js and it's shitty frame works


You can do PHP and specialise in WP


Every one can do it even my 8 years sister can do perfectly build a website and deploy it on nginx



Specialise in something like backend or database admin or perhaps PHP



Your website sucks tbh


It takes time to load all those shitty components , I had to disable js for it to run properly


Your projects are just clones of what you watched on YouTube, any mf indian or Mohamed can do what you did even better

Deploy real life projects for people
Start with yuur church, family members that need a website etc.

Use PHP next time and try to stand out from other web devs by making your portfolio unique



Imagine if nairaland was running on js , do you think much people will be here

Without the insults, he has a point, today's learning is too bootcamp oriented vs actual product building
