Actually these roles are paid internship. The unpaid is just to discourage large volumes of applications.

Goodluck.

I passed the initial screening, they are still screaming unpaid up and down.

Lol I got an offer from them yesterday, asking if I could work for 40 hours every week for one year without remuneration with other plenty questions. I didn't even bother to reply, like I'm going to buy data and work for a company for one whole year.

I'd rather keep practicing, a better offer will come.

vinceyinnovation:
Thanks for offering to help... I'll contact you when I need that.

Alright boss, the offer is open to everyone, serious ones shaa

Lol, God don catch you. I'm sure its that girl you were forming boss on top her head from your previous thread that knack you gono...good for you.

Please treat that innocent girl

I've now confirmed that Tuchel is afraid of Pep, why go all out against Liverpool and set up a defensive formation against a team ten 10 points above you with other teams breathing down your neck. He who is down fears no fall, it was a very painful match to watch, a whole champions of Europe playing like Norwich.

I just graduated from school recently and have seen only my first semester result because my alumni is currently in their first semester. Now I'm going to be 30 by September and at a risk of missing out on service.

Initially I was unperturbed about it but all my friends in a similar situation have already started the process of age reduction and I'm the only one left out.

I don't know if youth service is really worth the stress. I'm learning a couple of digital skills while I'm also a writer. My target is to get very good by the end of the year. So I won't have to depend on NYSC discharge certificate to land a job considering that my age would make me ineligible for most jobs anyway.

Should I just let things take it's natural course? Or follow the band wagon considering the situation of things in the country.

With a heart full of sorrow and deep regret, without any gratitude whatsoever, the family of Supreme hereby announce the painful and untimely demise of Mazi programming from my agenda for the main time.

This is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make in my life, but it seem like the best one to make given the present circumstances.
My programming journey has not been an easy one, I started this journey with so much passion and truckload of optimism but it turned out to be an entirely different ball game compared to the one I envisaged.

I've been coding for months but my progress has been riddled and stalled by several unforseen circumstances which played a huge part in rendering me grossly inconsistent and we all know that programming is all about consistency. Rather it's been one month on, one month off on my part.

As a hustler and a fresh graduate it has been a somewhat herculean task concentrating while I'm struggling for my next meal, scavenging for junior and internship roles has not yielded any positive result, I'm probably not good enough just yet.

I met someone on Nairaland that gives me small small WordPress jobs, but they are scarce and far in between, the highest I've gotten was 15k and most times payment was in staggered pattern of 3k, 5k instalments. I had so much high hopes, but unfortunately hope does not pay bills.

Recently I dived into other stuffs like writing, I got a couple of writing gigs from nairaland, though the pay is criminally poor but how I go do. I spend roughly 6+ hours daily writing articles daily and another 4 hours creating content for my new YouTube channel, I'm also working on some ebooks that I want to publish on amazon coupled with writing articles daily for some crypto sites in exchange for crypto. I wan write kee myself the crypto ma I no dey see.

24 hours no longer seem enough for me daily, sadly programming has slowly faded into the background. I wish I could continue but my laptop which was actually a gift is painfully up for sell because my rent is due, light ma I no even get because of unpaid bills and I want to see if I could recoup some money to deposit for some months, person no dey code under bridge.

I want to appreciate every programmer on Nairaland like Boss trangeztau....this kain name self.... And qtguru and others that I can't remember their monikers that contributed on some of my threads. Sadly everyone can not be a programmer, I might return one day maybe when I'm a bit comfortable and able to afford some basic programming necessities.

Forgive my long epistle, this is probably my last post on Nairaland, while I try to put my life together.
Thank you all.

I dey find person wey go dey operate website for me onto google ads etc. Laptop dey.. Your~job na to just undergo the training well well ,then after being strong in it, you go dey source for stories etc dey upload on the website.

If you know say ur mind na to come dupe me.. Walahi na ogun go first dupe you before you think am. I no need lazy person. If you no get focused agile mind, if your body no dey pepper you to make money, no disturb my dm.

Hello, I can help you setup your resume to meet the highest standards of recruitment agents . Send me a message on WhatsApp +234-81-301-35-975.

Senior man do I need to pay?

Though I hate to admit it, some ladies pass some guys. If I see banny wey pass me I dey know. I know I'm good looking and my toasting ot is tight but there are still some ladies beyond my reach and I don't stress myself going for them. A supposedly big girl walked up to me once and collected my contact, on a norms I don't approach that kinda babe, expensive hair, latest iPhone and all that. Getting close to her I observed that's there's really nothing to them asides the packaging. If you're confident enough you might get most of them but then its not a risk I'm willing to take. I don't like embarrassment.

Your projects are horrible. I like the ideas behind them but the presentation is horrible. Movie site was copied From YouTube. Very horrible CSS. Mistakes on others. Overflows, insufficient paddings, horrible font colour combination sizes et al. Find a good template online and use that to remake your sites. This won't do well against the competition at all. Yinkakun.co is the portfolio of a new developer we recently hired. Go through that and see. He's also a junior developer too coding to less than a year.

Alright thanks alot

stanliwise:
yeah I can relate to this so well. You have bills to pay . Yet you need to learn. The two don’t work well, because of the lack of patience it entails.

Here was how I got out.
You have to specialize, yeah you heard me right. You need to cut down unnecessary stacks of languages and pick only a few you will work with. Spreading your time around too many stacks is one of the biggest form of unproductive setting and a system crafted to make you work so much with less achieved. So my brother gather yourself on just few stacks.

2. Start forgetting or worrying too much about theories and how you need to learn this and that about your chosen stacks. Focus on value delivery. The only way someone will pay you or give you an opportunity is when you can help them fix thing. So from now on start channeling your thought to “What is the smallest thing I possibly do for a person that would be of value with my current stack”. Soon enough you will realize that accumulating more knowledge ain’t the goal. Rather it is value delivery.

3. Do only one thing at a time. For the moment now just start doing and learning about one concept of your stack once at a time. The logic is start learning the most likely value you would be asked of at your level now. So in other words note down future idea, don’t jump into them until they start cropping up or when you’re chanced. Focus 70% of your time on things needed at the moment.

Finally and the most important of everything above. Get depth please. You need to learn some part of your stack beyond the beginner level. You need to start exploring codebase of bigger project of your stacks and explore how advance dev make use of them. People who do not have deep knowledge of their stack would never get the better offer.

In summary, focus, do one thing at a time and find a little depth.

Thanks boss

Can you post some of your projects you are using to apply to jobs here. How does your CV look like? You can remove your name and post here. If you applying to jobs and you aren't even getting any interviews back then it's either your cv is very bad or your projects are very horrible. If you are getting interviews but aren't passing them then that's a different problem altogether.

This is my portfolio website https://siemtech.netlify.app
I also came across a post on reddit about lack of getting interviews and most of them pointed to a bad CV too, I took a critical look at my CV and felt it might be the problem. It's in a PDF format so I don't really know how to share it here.

Recently I've observed my motivation levels as regards to coding has dropped drastically, I went almost two weeks without coding due to power outage and I could recall how restless and wasteful I felt not coding all those days. Light has been restored for some days now but I'm beginning to feel lazy, the numerous reject mails I wake up to each morning has left me dejected and wondering if I'm on the right path.

I'm currently trashing out my react skills and applying for internship and entry level positions both paid and unpaid without success. Normally at my level I should be focused on upgrading my skills and practicing more but for someone that has bills to pay, the need for a job has overridden every other interest.

Depression is setting in and I'm struggling to get my motivation back, Its been days since I opened my VS code which very unlike me, I feel I'm wasting away but I still can't find that zeal to code.

Has anyone been in this kind of situation before How do I get my motivation back??

Does it mean these guys can't score without a penalty?? What a lethargic and predictable pattern of play, Aston Villa look likely to score each time they attack our end. I'm done finding excuses for this guys. They should forget about the premier league and focus of the cup competitions, they can't compete with Liverpool talk more of Man City.

In as much is I understand your intentions, I don't appreciate you're posting this issue on another forum without my consent, please take it down if you can.

FanOfMyself:
I'm a full stack javascript developer. You can check my personal website on my signature below. I'm astonished by your offer you made it look like software engineering is beans and bread. But I get the point that you want to use the projects to boost your portfolio. You are forgiven son But upskill asap.

I know you baba, I didn't mean a full stack app, I'm just a rookie frontend web developer.

Healthrelatedjo:
Pls I need one for my food delivery business bro...can u also help create an app?

Nope, just websites

FanOfMyself:
What kind of web developer are you that you can build five web sites for free. Even if you are a mere wordpress developer, I still don't get it at all. I guess you are the type of people that learnt programming in one month. What is even your stack? You probably do copy and paste and then you edit it or what. Go and learn web development proper and make some real cash.

If they can pay for the hosting and domain then I can do it, all it takes is my time, its also a way to improve my portfolio while helping someone. I know it won't be complex sites more likely landing pages, do you have a web project? I will do it for you for free to prove you wrong. Thanks though, I will keep developing myself I will make that real cash someday, Rome wasn't built in a day.
