Not the way they see it. Portfolio to them is what you have done in the field you seek employment.

Racists are coward, they attack the weak, or attack in groups, but never one on one. I've met countless of these idiots and they are the very definition of loosers. As a black guy, the average racist would be scared of you, and you can use their fear against them.

Normally if I walk alone at night, I always walk with confidence, not too fast, and one of my hands under my clothes like I'm hiding something. If they look at me, I look back at them with a mean face, and won't take of my eyes of them, and if I must, I look sidewards, never downwards (which signifies submission).

And never take your hands out from under your clothes, just let them keep guessing what you have there, and maybe use the other hands and act like you're calling, and looking around you to see if your bros are coming. You must learn how to survive in this deadly streets because lots of psychopath are your fellow citizens.

It helps if one goes to the gym frequently as well, it gives confidence naturally. A big muscles naturally make people know they do not mess with you. And since they don't know you, they can only judge how dangerous you are from your appearance and your body language.

I wonder o, I recently got a job here in the UK and was told before hand that while coming in for the in-person interview, I should come with hard copies of my qualifications as stated in my CV and give them the official email addresses of my professional references outside the UK

Thanksful:
Most don't need your CV. What they need is your portfolio. What you have done in the field you are seeking job.

LollySeaSide:
It's possible.
In fact very possible.
A lot of companies, especially in the tech sphere do not ask what you studied in the university or who and who you've worked for.
They are interested in what you can do do for them.
I once met with the CEO of a tech coy in Lagos and he asked me to tell him about myself. I went on and on brandishing my education and how I have attended several ProDev courses, how I can lead a team and how I can work under pressure, my excellent time management skills and my great IPR skills.
The man just laughed.
Then he asked me, "what can you do for us, sir?" I was taken aback.
I didn't even know what to say.
Noticing my dilemma, he said it's ok. That I should relax.
He went on to tell me that serious tech firms don't care whether you have five PhDs in InfoTech.
You are useless to them if you can't solve a problem for them.
Besides, the guy said he submitted a cover letter which more than enough to tell prospective employers what you want them to know about you.

I have never like any thing that has to do with national registration because

1. Even when you get their early doesn't mean one would leave there early.
2. Nigerians are not always organised, no rules( even when there is it won't be adhered to).
3. Number doesn't matter( if you grease the hands of those in charge you will bypass 100 persons and this is a problem because half of the population are planning the same thing)
4. The worst is network. There is always a network problem from international passport to NIMC to BVN to PVC. Even when you get there early you might still end up not going it
5. Standing too long under the sun is an issue for me.

I don't know who brought it close to me, but the person or group of people try for me, if not I won't carry myself to local government where there are thousands of people waiting to register.

We were not much though and even for the fact I when 10am I still left there 6pm. They started with network issue, then to no more form, distributing the form like it was expensive.

The only issue now is collecting the the PVC at local government, Na to call my plug when I get there. Cuz if not I fit leave the PVC for government hand. But I will try my best to collect it and also try my best to come out and vote.

Seriously I don't have any candidate in mind. When I get to that bridge I will know how to cross it.

I have shared my experience here of how I got a job when I lied on my CV
I eventually resigned and decided to start afresh.

I got an invitation for interview at a small boutique in Ikoyi with a "clean" CV. The name of the company is A***** S****** A.M. limited. Their colour is green and orange.

The MD who is a governing member of a professional body told me to do something about my "honest" CV, that he does not like the gaps. He said I should go online to find templates. He repeated the same thing when I met with him again two months later. He did not employ me.

A month later, I applied for a job in the UK without any "CV" or satanic interview. All I submitted was a cover letter stating my educational background and skills. I was given some tasks as test and I got hired.

This is the sad consequence of not having basic combat trainings, or gyming and build huge body strength. How the white man could relax on his body like he was a horse, what has happened to his body strength to slam him off?

Modern life has vacuum the necessity to be combat savvy and ready for many folks. The deceased doesn't even look small, he is equally a big man and even older. Older to have dedicated a huge chunk of his life to be able to fight if necessary, especially in a white man's land.

I've been attacked by racist and the only time I ran away was when they where in groups or with weapon but if its just one dude, hmmm, I feel sorry for you. God knows you'll remember me for the rest of your life for what I'll do to you.

What happened to his teeth? How could he slam you down in the first place? I mean even if he would kill you, he should as a consequence, be incapacitated for life. Probably blind with his nose bitten off, and testicle ripped apart.

This is a warning to you all, make yourself so difficult to mess it, that's how you survive. The weaker you are, the more fight you'll get into, but the stronger you are, the less fight you'll get into.

Being a celebrity doesn’t mean you’re smart.

Obi was the adviser to Jonathan when Discos and Gencos were sold to PDP cronies who know little or nothing about generation and distribution of electricity. Today, Obi, Atiku and the other PDP rogues that created the mess are the ones making the loudest noise about the problem they created.

It’s just unfortunate that Nigerians forget things too easily. Under Jonathan, power supply was extremely woeful. Buhari hasn’t performed to expectations to doubt but he has invested a lot in power generation and transmission. PDP members like Obi and Atiku that participated actively in spending $16billion to generate darkness should not be talking at all.

ademola721gmai:
Exactly what I have been going through bro. Imagine resorting to masturbation cos your legal wife denies you of sex for months and you, of course, beign a pastor of a church, doesn’t want to cheat cos it’s a grievous sin. A lot of married men are dying

florixi:
If you don't work in Care then you should not generalize it that is not needed. so that people will not be misled.

florixi:
some jobs ike care and support actually request for this even though they will still do DBS. So if you can do it just do it.

Uzomacharles:
How do you guys deal with a female boss that's always angry (stammerer)...

Not legally married

ubunja:
That's not how the game goes unfortunately,, If this was the case then Broke women will deal with Broke men. But broke women want rich men cause we're all looking for a partner who brings to the table what we don't have.

Women marry up financially. Men marry up morally.

A broke woman and a rich man works (Cinderella)
A morally pure woman and an evil man works (Beauty and the Beast)

Its easy for men to save a woman from her financial defects but next to impossible for men to save a woman from her CHARACTER defects. No amount of love and money can change a hoe into a housewife.
But it's easy for women to change a man's character defects. With enough love and fidelity from a woman,, even the most brutal barbarian can be domesticated. What's very hard for women to do, is save a man from his FINANCIAL defects. Its an uphill battle against a man's own ego and a woman's own utter disinterest in using her own money to uplift a man.

He chose the path out of his greed and selfishness.

No sir! I am not a fool because only fools condemn people they hardly know.

If this is true, any reasonable person shouldn't support Tinubu. If he can't find a competent Christian from the North, he isn't worth it as it is an indication ahead of time that he cannot be fair.

I'm sure a choice of Masari as a placeholder was to test the waters and he's observed that many acted like they don't care and had given him the audacity to actually play the card.

One thing I think is he has allowed himself to be played by the North. They have successfully divided his vote in the Southwest which is their agenda to support their own indirectly.

Telekinetic:
BLACKS! That’s all I have to comment

Funflipper:
I thought as much. But how can i be bollocks when I have been teaching some common sense on how to conduct yourself when engaged in a conversation since yesterday? You should show some gratitude rather than dismiss me as bollocks because these are lessons worth well over a million dollars and you are getting it for free. I know you learnt something but your empty won't let you admit it. Whatever man!!

heartofcity12:
These are the issues..

Funflipper:
They say by their utterances, we shall know them. You display the characteristics and attitude of a bitter poor man when you leave a simple conversation and start insulting other people because they have an opinion which is different from yours. I am happy you have learnt a thing or two from our exchange that you can state your views without having to insult anyone. Or is it that you ran out of curse words or something like that? I hope not...
