When you get a correspondence letter, how long does it take for a final decision on an average ?

it'd be all these brokies talking.

BaEnki:
Why?

I easily get tired of relationships, I don’t think I can sustain one.
We had a great one why we were apart but that changed upon her coming to spend some time with me, I discovered that I didn’t really love her the way I thought. I can’t quite bond with her during her time with me, I know that I’m so cold and numb to most things and she feels like I don’t love her. She loved me with everything but I couldn’t reciprocated the love, she thought I was seeing someone else. I had to call it quit to stop hurting her feelings, but she became more hurt & devastated. She left to her station so sad, never planned that.

Guys help me, I feel less human, no emotions, no pains, unreal feelings, no love, so cold & numb, the things I love in the past that make me happy changes nothing again. I got myself all l needed to feel human but I’m still cold. I had of the most beautiful & classy lady out but I throw her away, I doubt if she’s ever gonna forgive me.

How can I regain my humanity? Practical solutions plsss!!!

Ps
@Slawomir, jman06 and everyone’s that’s commented, my issue isn’t just bout women alone, I don’t know the best way to present this. My current predicament is that I’m loosing my humanity , I’m so numb and cold, I don’t feel anything, so I need help asap until I’m finally lost in me. Women is just btw ‘cos I thought I found someone that could bring me back from this strange and confusing journey that’s getting me lost.

Kinda feel pity for you, being alone is not good, why don't you like her ?

Does the freelance market have jobs for all 40k plus alx graduates

At all, naturally those successful will stay on.

tensazangetsu20:
I am really shocked that ALX and co are still training people in the tens of thousands. Like 40k will graduate from alx this year and Nigeria has a total of 5000 job openings both tech and non tech. Tech jobs are around 500 and you have 40000 new developers being pushed into the market

Is it free ? I think most will transition to freelance if they are really serious

chatinent:
I don't doubt all you posted a bit because it's actually true. You collect payment via dollar transfers...that is through Western Union, Ria and its kinds?


What happened to virtual accounts?

Even Fiver and Upwork accounts pay through PayPal or Payoneer! Go digital,chief.

I use Geegpay it works fine, but I move to Wise because I don't trust Geegpay to hold permanently

Bloomsbury:
If anyone wants to join the network of Virtual Assistants that I want to assemble, please indicate so I can schedule a Zoom meeting with each of you.

Nice

All boobs eventually fall, nothing wrong with her. But the exposure is

Xwizard:
Still lost

Visit MDN

Now am looking dumb, what do you mean by structure my html properly, give me instances, but i always try as much as possible to do my coding well arranged, tho might not be well enough.
And yes I used flexbox/positioning a lot. That grid design am yet to understand the logics to it.

THE BIG QUESTION IS
What’s media queries? Never even heard of it. Do I have to learn that also as a programming language?

Media queries are just sets of CSS to target device, screen size that's it, it's a 30mins lesson and you're fine, if you use Tailwind, Media queries are used internally

I want to break GWR too longest owing loan, make I try LAPO sef

Personally I use Java, I'd like to use C++ but too much tiny details you need to know

Valoromega:
Anytime I have issues with my wife, maybe it's about another girl she always says what if she does her own too how would (mind you I have never been with another woman since we got married. I might just flirt around with some other girls once in a while via chat)
She has this mentality that she's beautiful and young and she usually gets a lot of attention and I think it's getting to her head. Because most times she usually talks about doing her own too and I think she has the tendency to cheat If I do something to her like cheating. Omo

I told her that would be the end of our marriage

You sound dumb. You're causing your issue and you're asking us for advice.

tunjijones:
This is so bad.

There is no amount of money you can pay to get a blackmailer off your back, they will keep demanding for money.

It's why you involve the police, it's a crime

Westwood2580:
Yes i know there are jobs in customer service industry but i want something entirely different. Though I'm still exploring which skills i should pick up and master. I have the following skills in mind
Project management
Product management
Cybersecurity
Devops but i want to ask people who are already in the tech industry to help me make a good decision. I'm more concerned about that has open roles for entry level. Well, thank you for your time but if anything you might still want to add. I'm very open to hear and learn. Your opinion is high valuable to me.

I think the issue is we have with freelance is that we look at it with a professional lens, freelance gigs, the weirdest gigs could make you money, there's a Nigerian who setups Zoom Conferences and makes money. So I don't think it needs to be tech, it just needs to be a niche.

I'd say try and look at some platforms skills on the side.

pocohantas:
The 20% wouldn't have gone on for long. It was only on the first $500 you earn from a client. I think Top Rated were on 10%. I wish connects were transferable.

I opened Upwork yesterday and I pitied for new freelancers. Less jobs, more competition. This is one time I appreciate trying out something as soon as I heard of it. Normally I am someone that procrastinates. I guess sapa was the motivation. I desperately needed an additional source of income.

You found something or still looking ?

Donpre:
Didn't they already increase commissions to a flat rate of 10% and they already made quite a lot with connects and boosting
Not to mention the VAT charge which I'm sure never gets to the federal government

My client also mention that he was charged too

This is criminal in a way

They reduced it to 10% which is at least cheaper than the 20% , but you pay for it in connects. Connects are investment so I'd advise taking time to research Upwork well before spending connects. There's a 1$ guide by Oliver on Gumroad, if you can buy it, it explains in 18 pages how to get gigs.

Westwood2580:
Boss is project management an in demand skills because i intend to transition from customer service industry to project management. I have done some Google search but i still need a personal suggestions if a project manager can work remotely.

There's gig for customer service along with VA skills issue with Project manager is showcasing your portfolio , it would mean having work experience to back it.

dreamxhaser:
Java script is okay (but not strong becuse i neer to check the net before i remeber somethings)

Then i started learning liquid, with plans to become a shopify dev

Bro I like the latter part, I think you should focus on Shopify but you are not limited to being a Shopify dev you can look at other non dev fields too

dreamxhaser:
I love coding. Coding is the reason i am studying computer science

I just dey do writing to hold body from sapa🤣

I have learnt front end dev already. I am just doubting if i should continue especially as i see alot of people saying AI will take away coders job

and your JavaScript and DOM API knowledge is okay ?

Officiallyme:
I feel normal. There's no pain or discharge

Go for check and try some topology cream, could be an STI

illicit:
How do you feel when u pee

Valid question

No I use alot of AI for my job if anything it helps with writings for portfolio, AI generation is not perfect, it has that pick words and place today, but it serves as an assistance to a freelancer

dreamxhaser:
Hey

I looking to switch from writing to coding. Plz i beg you to tell me the reality if AI like GPT will kill the freelnce jobs for tech guys.

Thank you sir

If coding is not your thing just try other skills, can you try and Google top Upwork Nigerian freelancers and see what they do and pick a skill. If you think you can handle the coding woes then yeah it's rewarding but it's not easy.

Donpre:
when did proposals get as high as 16 connects?

They did that because Upwork needs to raise profit

FriendsAndFans:
Tough situations build tough men.
Such is strength

Yeah can't complain about it, it helps shape men in the long run.
