bellong: The issue of referee on a CV is liberal. You can either put it or use available on request. It also depends on where you applying. Some recruiters will ask for it at the point of application while others may not care until after interview and you are being considered for the position.
Referees are only needed when you are being considered for the position. Thanks bro.Thanks Tyosho |

enle: Hi bellong and wonderfull people on this platform ,you guys are doing a great job.
Iwant to do my assessment with ACS ,I want to ask if job titles or roles and duties more important for Australian immigration? I fit into computer networks and system engineer for the 189 visa, but my designation is IT support engineer. Will that cause a problem on the ACS assessment?
Im getting reference letter from two company
my current company reference letter job description are closely related to the job description of computer networks and system engineer as in ANZSCO but they insisted on putting my job title as IT Support Engineer. My previous company reference letter indicates my job ttitle as computer networks and system engineer with closely related job description of computer networks and system engineer as in ANZSCO
Will that cause a problem on the ACS assessment?
Thanking you in anticipation of your advice. Pls help house. You would get a positive assesment from ACS but you wont be able to claim points for the experience because of the different ANZCO code |

trastar: Concerning getting a job, I have a few advice but before the advice let me tell you ppl story of my job search. got in 11th of December. started applying for work like a week after. O boy! I applied for everything. I started getting calls like the next day after I applied. I feel like customer service and admin roles are the easiest jobs to get here. insurance companies are always looking for customer service. got a job and resumption was on 2ND OF Jan with insurance. did not really like the role cos honestly, I was clueless-knowing next to nothing about insurance and the training was not it at all. so I still kept applying, still kept going for interviews.
the friend I know here already gave me gist of interviews she went for and she was discriminated against because of color so I was sort of prepared when it happened to me. and because she is a major success story of how you can start from scratch and work your way up here, I just keyed into her ginger. I mean her first job was as a receptionist and 5 years down the line, senior HR in a huge multinational, trips abroad, company credit card, iphone X and plenty other gengen. so I just told myself, if she can do it, I can.
So when I went for interview for customer service manager with one company and the CEO came in, saw me, told me to pls wait at coffee shop across the road cos the HR manager that will interview me was not in yet, it pained me but not so much. I was prepared for it. HR manager later called and told me she was asked to cancel the interview and she is sorry. minutes later, I saw notification on my linkedin of two different ppl from the company viewing my profile, plus CEO and HR manager too. in revenge, I clicked on” view profile” for every single person in that company too. we dey view each other noni. but thank God that did not click cos that same day, I had interview with a premium car manufacturing company and I got the job.
Pls note these jobs are all contract based. the pay isn’t bad at all. I get paid per hour but it means you get paid just for the number of hours’ u work for, no leave payment or any of that. I also don’t mind because it means I am not tied to any company and I can keep searching till I find a great place.
So my advice for anyone coming to Sydney is;
1. Blow your own horn during interviews. don’t doubt yourself. the things that won’t impress a Nigerian interviewer impresses them here. The average Nigerian employee normally do roles meant for 3 to 4 people here. so when you are telling them about what your job entailed back home, don’t make it seem small or not a big deal. list and list.
2. Apply to as many jobs as you can, don’t be discouraged by the nos. just keep applying, its kuku free.
3. They really do not ask to see physical copies of your degree certificates, (even for my husband who is in IT) this means they rely on what you say a lot. But they asked for evidence of IT certifications though. so your destiny na your mouth and cv e dey. not asking anyone to be dishonest and go and list what u did not do or degree u do not have ooo. but be ready to use your mouth to defend whatever you write in cv. this is easier for those of us in the not technical fields. we can easily learn on the job but if you are not a programmer and you claim programmer. Well...
4. Another trick my friend told me was –remove anything with Nigeria in your CV. don’t let them judge u before meeting you. let them at least hear u talk before assuming u can’t offer anything. so a lot of times they call and they don’t even realise experiences I listed were all in Nigeria. I got so many interviews even me sef begin turn them down.
5. Concerning colleagues, if you are like me who thought Nigerians are “bad” when it comes to office politics, be ready for a shocker here. Oyibo ppl gossip pass us. my Gahd! someone will stand now and next minute they are gossiping them. next minute they are smiling at them. If you ever thought they are superior morally, just know now that all of us are humans. na skin color differ.
6. My husband got a job in his field-IT Networking- like two weeks after I got mine. his job is full time and although it took time, he was patient and because I was working, he can afford to be patient. if you can, don’t get caught up doing hustle job that u won’t have time to chase proper jobs in your career line.
7. I felt bad about my accent initially but different ppl form several countries work with me. South African, Zimbabwean-the only other black person asides myself, etc. everyone get accent so we dey. you need a lot of thick skin and a container load of self-confidence. 8. I am still searching, my mouth is wide now. so yeah.. Trastar please help me understand this part.Do you mean on the CV, i remove all the experiences of Nigeria, or just list the experiences but remove the location from the CV? |

Christianity Etc › Re: Is Repentance Without Restitution Enough? by stepo707: 9:54am On Jan 06, 2019*. Modified: 12:22pm On Jan 06, 2019 |
Restitution(fixing the damage that your action caused, returning back what you stole or what you lied about,and also making peace)is compulsory and infact needed before forgiveness can occur.I guess the hardest part of repentance is confession.But you will realize that you will feel peace after genuine and sincere confession. |
