ndtgermany:
It all depends on the verification. It can be as quick as 5days to 3weeks and above.

Alright thanks.
If I may ask, what do you mean by "verification"?
Have you or do you know anyone that booked recently?

General German Work visa and Family Reunion

I know all the requirements. I've checked all those threads as well. I have booked appointment at the embassy as well. Just want to know how long it'll take to get an appointment date from anyone who have booked recently.

Travel / Has Anyone Applied For Germany Blue Card by seunoni34(m): 4:18pm On Oct 20, 2021
Hi guys,

I want to make enquiries about German blue card.

Has anyone applied recently?
I have booked appointment at the embassy and was told I'll get a date soon.


How long does it take to get an appointment date after booking? Any heads up from someone who have applied recently will be appreciated.
Programming / Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by seunoni34(m): 9:34am On Apr 18, 2021
tensazangetsu20:
Tech is honestly the best industry to get into right now. The opportunities are numerous. Almost every job vacancy out there is tech this tech that, developer this and developer that. I stayed in school for 4 years studying for a useless engineering degree and I have never in my life seen a vacancy for the rubbish I studied but there are tech roles every day. But in spite of so many jobs in tech, a lot of new developers struggle to get opportunities. I started being active in the tech community recently and I am meeting developers who have been coding for 5 to 7 years but have never had an opportunity. Talking with them has led me to discover that it's actually not the tech industry but a few of the reasons I am listing below.

1. You follow the trends: A lot of us developers love to focus on the sexy trendy stuff. Newsflash, what is sexy and trendy isn't used and even when used is used by very few companies. So millions of people who have struggled to learn the sexy stuff are all going to fight for those few roles out there. Take for example the latest coolest CSS framework tailwind. It's really cool and hyped up and it's like the go-to framework right now but the thing is in the industry people are still using bootstrap. People are learning tailwind but they don't know the number one CSS framework out there. Just because something is cool and sexy doesn't mean that everyone is going to switch to it overnight.

If you give junior developers a chance between Angular, React, and Vue. A lot of people are going to pick Vue. They will say it's sexy and cool and has a ton of GitHub stars. There are jobs using Vue but they are so few compared to React and Angular that you would be pigeonholing yourself by learning that. Theres a whole of difference between coding for fun and coding to get a job.

2. You have unrealistic expectations: This is something I usually see on Reddit cscareerquestions but it seems to becoming a norm amongst everybody. People believe that if your salary isnt starting at 100k USD a year or you dont work for a tech company, you arent a developer. Its so elitist and unfortunately a lot of developers in Nigeria are beginning to have this mindset. They learn HTML, CSS, JS. They have built absolutely no projects but because someone said you need the knowledge of DSA to get a job they immediately start grinding leetcode day and night with the hope of getting into Google. You learnt to code from a Udemy course and you really want to compete at DSAs with people who went to MIT. People who have been doing competitive programming since 5 years old. People who get gold medals at the international olympaids of informatics like its nothing. grin grin grin. Funny enough, I also had this mindset when I was learning to code but corrected myself later on. The truth is that not every tech job out there tests with DSA or needs knowledge of DSA and not everybody must work for a big tech company. This reasoning is so flawed. It is like saying every lawyer must work for law firms like wale olanipekun and co or every engineer must work for exxonmobil. There are a ton of jobs that will pay you well as a junior developer like really well and you need not struggle to get them. They wont test you with DSA. They would only look at the complexities of your projects and go through them with you. By well paid I am talking of 500k and above. Ask yourself how many people asking you to do DSA in Nigeria have not yet worked at Google. There are even whatsapp groups dedicated to DSA and if you cant solve one you are kicked out. The person giving you DSA is not working at Google or Facebook hmm give yourself a brain o.


3. You do not know how to cut off the bullshit from social media: There's so much information out there today but if you don't know how to cut off the bullshit from what you need, you would waste your time. A lot of influencers and creators are putting information out there for themselves. They follow the algorithms and put out what is going to give them the most value in terms of money for their time. If I put out WordPress content, nobody will watch it but if I go out there and make MERN stack tutorials I would be getting millions of views but to be truthful you do not need the MERN stack as a junior. No one is using MongoDB in prod. Very few websites use Nodejs. You are just limiting yourself with that. If you want to be a full stack developer look at things like C# and Java springboot. Those pay really really well and there are even certifications you can acquire in those frameworks that can help get you opportunities at enterprise companies that use them especially if you don't have a computer science degree.

4 Your projects are not worth paying for: People put out calculators, todo lists, tictactoe games and a lot of bullshit on their portfolio and wonder why they aren't getting interviews. You have applied for 100 jobs and haven't been called back and you absolutely do not know the reason why. Nobody is going to hire you with a to-do list and a calculator on your portfolio. Even if you get an interview, is a calculator something you are going to show your interviewer. What happened to making a social media application, a chat application, a blog, an analytic tool, a dashboard. Something that people actually use in the real world every day. I remember one of the first interviews I have, one of my projects was a payment application I used paystacks API for. Everything was done with HTML, CSS and Javascript and once my interviewer saw the project and the button I used to connect the API, he made an offer to me immediately. Your projects matter especially as a beginner. One solid project is better than 100 garbage projects.

5 You don't research: Honestly, in this tech thing, I take what everyone is saying as bullshit. The senior developer I work with an Australian guy was telling me to learn web assembly if I really want to get a job with visa sponsorship which I so desperately need. I am tired of remote especially doing it from this shithole zoo of a country. I went to Linkedin Jobs and various countries indeed websites and I couldn't even see up to 500 jobs total in web assembly. Why would I waste time learning something that has no jobs because it might be relevant in ten years. Nodejs came out in 2009 and it is still not relevant in 2021. What is the probability that web assembly will be relevant in 2031. Research. When people tell you to learn a technology. Go to linkedinjobs and indeed and check how many jobs exist for that technology worldwide. People always advise you from their own point of view but the point of view of a senior developer in America, Europe or Australia is not the same for you a junior developer in the world's poverty capital.

Tech pays provided you do it right men.

How can you say mongodb is not used in production? This is a very ignorant and misleading statement. Java /c# is not even in the top 5 most used languages as at current. Javascript/nodejs still tops the list.. Alongsides python, php, golang, rust and ruby on rails.. The only companies that still use java/c# are older enterprise companies with legacy codebases. Even at that some are alr3sdy moving to kotlin or exploring other newer and better technologies. There's nothing java/c# can do now that golang doesn't do better. Go handles concurrency with ease (with Goroutines)
I don't know which linkedin/indeed that you're doing your job search o.

I work for a fintech and they use mongodb and nodejs extensively in production. My last company was a top ecommerce and they used node.js in nearly 70% of their microservices.

I'm surprised you're advising people to learn skills and you failed to mention cloud skills (aws, gcp), containerized architectures like docker and container services like ecs and kubernetes...

Also DSA are very necessary and important to get a job in this very day and time. Every company I've interviewed for (both home and abroad) required me to take coding tests on Codility/hackerrank in their early stages.

You really need to do a lot of research yourself.. Don't say what you don't know.

Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 10 by seunoni34(m): 8:58pm On Feb 22, 2021
Hi guys,

I'm new here.

So I have this issue with my work experience, same company but different working hours .
For the first 6 months, I worked for 18 hours/ week , and the next 1 year 10 months, I worked for 30 hours per week.

On my profile, there's no option to use 2 different working hours for a company, so I added the same company name twice but different hours , will this not put me in trouble ?

ThowLou:
Good Morning Everyone, putting this info out for pre-ECA candidates with a degree from Unilag that they want to evaluate. I hope this information helps, you can PM me if you need further clarifications.

PS/Disclaimer: I do not work in Unilag and this is only based on my personal experience when I was in the ECA process.

As far as I know, Unilag does not engage the services of ETX-NG so you have to apply for your transcript via the records portal- records.unilag.edu.ng

* Click on new application/track applications
* Tick the box for the program you wish to evaluate and select unique destination
* Document Type is Transcript
* Destination is North American Countries
* Dispatch method is courier service (private)
* Enter WES Address
* Click on proceed and pay online

If you have a contact, follow up with prayers and supplication for speedy processing

If you are yet to receive your certificate from Unilag, follow the steps above and repeat steps but request for your statement of result to be sent to your address. It’s this SOR that will be sent to WES in place of your certificate. This is important because WES will only complete your ECA when they verify your SOR and transcript from the University of Lagos

It’s also important to note that even if you pay for courier for your SOR, you’ll need to pick it up yourself as the courier fee is a joke to Unilag, they will not send your result via courier to you.

Also remember to be prayerful cos Unilag can give you serious headache during the wait period but with God everything is possible.

God who did for everyone here will complete yours too and we will all testify.

Hello tolu,

I just sent you a pm now.

I want to make some enquiries.

Kindly check your mail, I will really appreciate.

Regards

No. It was the fact that FRSC caught some drivers holding their phones to use google maps that sparked the current directive.
okay
