Jobs/Vacancies › Is It Okay To Lie About Job Experience (technical Job) by Swealy(op): 7:37am On May 21, 2025

Hello People

Honest Question:
Is it ever okay to lie about your experience to get a job?

In today’s highly competitive job market, some people stretch the truth—or even fabricate experience—to land opportunities. While integrity is important, others argue that sometimes, getting your foot in the door is the only way to prove yourself.

i have a colleague who was at a final interview for a company willing to sponsor him and his family for a software engineer role but did not have the required experience in a certain area, should he have lied or spoken the truth !

Good morning my people,

Please I want to start my Canada PR process, does it really take up to a year or even more ? Should I just try student route instead ?

Based on the current trend what would be your advice ?

P.S: I am an IT professional with years of experience.

Thank you

Good evening house, I hope we are well.

Please I am working on going to the uk for msc in software engineering, I also have various globally recognized IT certifications and I am under 23 years of age . I have heard how hard it is in the uk and in other countries as well.

I know this is a difficult question but is the UK worth it ?

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Which One Should I Choose by Swealy: 2:28pm On Mar 28, 2023

deewhydoski:
I intend to go for 4 months training in ICT.
I am to choose either of this two
1. Website design and development
2. Internet and IP security
Pls which one should I go for and tell me the reasons. Thanks

I would go with 2 because the long run reward is great but note that it is very hard to break into the networking industry as a novice but with with hard work you will prevail. Also certifications in networking are very expensive

But with web design and development you will have a host of career options from front end, back end and a host of other fields including applications development and it’s fairly easy to get a job because it’s quite easy to get projects done.

Lexusgs430:
Let's break your question down ...........🤣🤪

Let's assume you're getting paid £12 per hour

12 * 20 = £240 earned per week

Rent - £600 per month ( £150 per week)

Transportation - £30 per week (unless you buy a bicycle, then that's (free) .... Cost of bicycle £50.....

Feeding - Been modest and eating like a church rat (£50 per week)....

Gas + Electricity + water + mobile phone bill (£50 per week)....

Salary - £240 per week

Expenses - £150 + 30 + 50 + 50 + 13 = £293 per week

What do you think .............😜😂🤣

You never buy cloth, shoes, toiletries, send money back home, social life etc etc etc ........
😜😑

Thank you

Deensham:
I have been busy. This place is really toxic. Not an accounting graduate, having to learn on the job with multiple clients is quite hectic and inefficient. The in-charges are not helping matters, always shouting to do the job on time. The condescending and disrespectful approach is not good at all. I am exhausted. I am in audit, they are just unprofessional and impolite while dealing with juniors. The work load is high too, 60 - 80 hours weekly with unkind and inconsiderate people is terrible.

Just endure, you will get better at the job. Don’t let anyone ruin your confidence !

Please those currently doing their ET or are at the Training school, how is it going? For the training school, how many hours a day does it last? What applications are you using? Has the stipend of 70k been paid already, or will it be afterwards?

For the Executive training, were you posted to branches of your choice? Have you resumed? What is your work description? How many hours a day do you have to work? Any dress code?

Do intimate us on these details and more you can spare. Thanks.

Speaking with respect to the on the job guys,
No you will not be posted to branches of your choice, forget that one. But if it too far you can Hala.

Yes first batch has resumed on the job training

Work description is based on the department they post you to in the branch. If it’s customer service department that is what you will do.

Dress code, look sharp that’s all.

As for work hours is varies depending on the branch some 1pm some 4pm. Also resumption time varies as well.

But closure fit be 4pm but you go dey with your supervisor till 6pm dey work.

That’s all I have for the on the job training guys
