Heloo,
I received both the apitutde and home test mail(s) which was supposed to have a link to the test portals but the links were missing. I sent a mail to apply@andela.com to complain about this. Guys what do you think I should do?
Cc: checkmateman, et al

Hurray! Just checked my mail and saw the andela apptitude test. But I can't see or find the link to the test portal.

Google63:
Was the link to the plum test sent to you? Have you taken the test before? if you ve taken the test before, you don't need to worry.

yes I have done the test before. No, no plum test link was sent rather I was told they will send a test link within the next 48hrs.

checkmateman:
I guess u must have do the test before in one of their recruitment earlier but if not so send them a message

@checkmateman I have done the test before but I was not ready for it then, and was not comfortable with the result so I terminated the process then.
I have forgotten how to access my profile on the dash board. How do I access it again?

Hello House, I reapplied to Andela with a new mail. I got a message with a link to the homestudy but it didn't say anything about taking a plum test. What should I do? Should I forget about the plum test and concentrate on the homestudy test? I hope it wouldn't affect me?

****** How I Survived February*****

Getting through february was not funny. With the knowledge that am short on fund and that my financial goal has been extended by the financial decisions I took, I was hard pressed to look for alternate source to argument the #4000, that was left.

I had started a part-time teaching in a nearby school earlier. That was my saving grace. With the additional #3000, I had to scratch and stretch the money till the month's end.

Lesson: No matter how meager a resource is I can always arrange my spending in such a way that it will be enough.

How I survived february. Next update.

" Time and chance happens to us all"
*****************************
I had high hopes for february, I was pleased with the strides I made in January. I was so happy, then. Fate decides to play a roulette with me.

First, my phone falled and the screen broke. An unexpected expense. I was sad. I decided to repair it from the feb allawee.

Before I will come out of that, my girlfriend called and said she is coming to visit. I thought of every possible means of desuading her from coming. (you know women and their ways). She insisted. I withdrew #12000.

The devil and his sadist cohorts decided to enter my sister, she requested for some money. I sent her #3000.

By the time I know what was happening, I was already broke. That, is my february story. And I went down hill from there. It took a great deal of time and self forgiveness to get myself back.

Note: it was not the money I spent that got me in a state, rather, what happened when my girl visited.

Goodday and welcome to the month of march house.

The past month, february was a difficult one for me.
I was depressed due to events in my personal life. And this made me unable to articulate and write my ideas. ThankGod, am back to my best.

Let me use this opportunity to thank everyone who shown concern. I really do appreciate your care. I love you all.

Sorry house for the lack of updates, the screen of my phone spoilt. I just repaired it.

Come back everybody lets continue our ride.

So many things have happened and I have made some bad decisions. Hope to share everything with you.

obinoral1179:
good one bro. Which local council are you serving? All the best is what I wish you bro.

Am in Bekwarra LGA. Thanks bro.

naijareferee:
I THINK ALL YOU ARE DOING IS WORTH WHILE
BUT MY ADVICE ARE
1. GET AN ALTERNATE SOURCE OF INCOME BECAUSE RELYING AND EXPECTING TO SAVE FROM 19800 MAY BE VERY HAD BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE
2. BE VERY CAUTIOUS WITH YOUR FEMALE COLLEAGUE....YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPEND ON THEM...I REPEAT DONT SPEND TO IMPRESS THEM COS THEY WILL BE A MAJOR DRAIN AND BTW ITS SAME ALLAWEE
3. WHAT DO YOU USE FUEL FOR....DO YOU HAVE A BIKE OR GENERATING SET

I WILL ADD MORE AS YOU CONTINUE...

FOR ABDUL...WELLDONE

Thank you naijareferee for the advice. I really do appreciate and I will keep in mind the advice about my female colleagues.

The money for fuel, was an amount I initially set aside for the gen. Set. But fortunately, my landlord connected light to my room, and it is free.

I have already started a part-time teaching in a near-by school here.

Hey bxcode,welcome to MSAjuwaya. Feel free to drop your comments and observations.

'' To take no action means you are headed nowhere except where you are''

**** What My First 'Allawee' Taught Me About Myself And Money Pt2 ****

¤ I LACKED THE PRESENCE OF MIND: The lack of this particular trait caused me to be unconscious of what and where I spent the allawee. It was as if a faucet was unplugged and I couldn't control the spending itch until I was left with nothing. My eyes cleared when there was nothing left for me and I began asking myself;
what did I do with the allawee?
Where did it go?

¤ LACK OF DISCIPLINE: I was not disciplined enough to discern between things that I want and things I need. I spent on impulse.

¤ NO ACTION PLAN: I did not have an action plan to follow when the allawee was paid. This led me to drift with the impulse. It was more like I will work out the details as I go along. Alas! There was nothing to work with at the end.

These are the lessons I learnt, the next posts will be about the practical steps I took and still taking to ensure a well rounded financial life.

Welcome Obinoral1179, your observations are valid.

I agree with you there are some parts of CRS where the COST of living is higher than in other places.

In my case, I took a conscious effort not to be posted to these places you mentioned. No, am not serving in Boki.

During the orientation camp I asked around and I had a general view of what serving in each of the zones entails, and I made the choice to go to the place that serves my personal purpose best.

Congratulations in advance for your passing-out-parade. You are favored.

That's how it was with me brother @ Rockmyworld. The good thing is, we are taking steps to not allow it happen again.

Whaoo, this is quite impressive Abdussalam, keep it up.

Ademat7:
am a prospective corp member A'15 by God's grace.

Alright. Have the online mobilization started?

noordean:

Alright bro. Hope you are preparing and getting ready for mobilization?

Parasitic:

Guys I want to know your experience with your first alawee.

'' To a non-planner, nothing is enough, nothing is sufficient or adequate; but planners are always resourceful and creative, so whatsoever they have is made to be sufficient''- Bishop Oyedepo.

******What My First 'Alawee' Taught Me About Myself And Money******

I was already broke before the alawee could be paid in the orientation camp.
What happened to the fifteen thousand seven hundred and fifty naira(#15750), I entered camp with?
Where did the additional two thousand five hundred naira (#2500), transport and bicycle alowee go to?
I was already desperate and in a tight corner for the first Ninteen thousand eight hundred naira (19800) of my service allowance.

Despite all the blogs I read and comments by serving and former corp members on how to save part of the alawee, I failed to have a hold on my money. Such that within four(4) days after I received it, I couldn't say what I did with it.

Following a long and deep soul search, here are the lessons I learnt:

The joy of achieving a desired end. I aways picture the feeling, satisfaction which is within my reach if I could just stick with the project and see it to completion.

Another is the fear of pain of regret. I dread the pain that comes with what could have been.

This two keeps me focused.

Am so humbled with the feedbacks and comments am getting.
It have not been easy but with you all onboard, the ride is a whole lot fun.
Lets do it together, lets walk the talk.

Living well, spending less. theMSAjuwaya way.
