Phones / Re: Nokia 3310, 'the Most Reliable Phone Ever Made', To Be Re-launched At MWC 2017 by SyberKate(f): 12:50pm On Feb 18, 2017
News of a Nokia 3310 reboot coming later this month spread like wildfire on the Internet, leading to a trip down memory lane for the fans of the classic phone. The rumoured phone is expected to stick to the original Nokia 3310’s feature phone roots, and not support the apps we are all accustomed to nowadays. But that doesn’t mean it will be completely devoid of the features we see in feature phones these days. And we may have our first look at what the modern avatar of the classic Nokia 3310 could look like.

So you have been invited for an oral interview and you want to be prepared for the upcoming salary negotiation, you do a research on the standard pay range and practice asking for what you want. Those steps are certainly valuable, but they’re not enough.

Jobs/Vacancies / Finding Your Place In The IT Jobs Landscape by SyberKate(f): 12:03pm On Feb 18, 2017
The IT jobs industry is much broader than just a few well-known companies. It’s made up of a wide range of employers that operate in all types of business sector. Understanding this landscape can help you identify a good assortment of companies in which you can use your skills.

Types of IT employer

Large IT employers include technology solutions providers, IT services organisations, telecoms companies (technology and service providers) and technology consultancies. Other significant IT recruiters include finance and professional services firms, such as investment banks, retail banks, investment management firms, insurers and accountants. Retail, media, games development and public services organisations are also major recruiters in the IT jobs landscape. And there are many smaller technology employers, such as specialist software houses and niche consultancies. But, potentially, you could start your IT career in any type of business.

Know what you want from IT job

With a wide range of options on offer you need to know how to search for the right IT jobs and employer. Get
started by considering two key factors.

1. The work you’d like to do.

Do you want to do loads of coding or none at all, but still use your technical reasoning? Would you prefer to be business focused, or enjoy the best of both the technology and commercial worlds? Do you want to be troubleshooting daily, or working on projects with longer deadlines? If you’re not sure that you want to focus on one particular area from
the outset, explore employers offering graduate programmes that allow you to work in different roles or business areas before you specialise.

2. How mobile you’re prepared to be.

Technology careers vary widely in terms of how mobile you need to be. If you’re looking to become a consultant, expect to spend your working week wherever your current client is based. Likewise, graduates in IT services may be required to spend the week on their clients’ premises. In contrast, if you choose a very technical role such as developer or software tester you’re likely to spend the vast majority of your time in the same office. Business and management-focused roles (eg project management) tend to fall somewhere between the two – they often require an employee of travel but this can vary depending upon the precise role and company. Try to assess how mobile you are prepared to be.

Know what the employer wants from you

As you begin to establish what you want from your job and the type of organisation you’d like to work for, it’s essential
that you think about the requirements of the role and what the employer wants from you as an individual. This will help you to determine whether you are truly a good match for the job and your chosen employer. It’ll also make apparent the ‘extra’ skills and attributes that you’ll need to bring to the table, as some students mistakenly assume they’ll be able to walk into any graduate IT job because they have an IT degree.

Recruiters report that students applying for graduate IT jobs in technology roles can take more than 12 months for a graduate pursuing a career in the IT and technology sector to get that first job. So, even if you’ve studied computer science, you have to go several steps further to get your foot in the door of your chosen company. For instance, graduates should take the initiative to teach themselves new skills. There are lots of free online courses available. It shows an employer that you have the drive and motivation they’re looking for. Also, try to be part of your local tech community, go to hackathons and contribute. It shows an employer that you’re passionate about the industry.’ On your job hunt, make sure you think about the employers’ needs – not only your own. Remember that:
• Demand for technologists is greater at experienced-hire level than entry level.
• IT recruiters tend to have requirements that go beyond what’s taught in lectures.
• Many major players now demand at least a 2.1 degree.
• Even if you’ve got the right skills, you still need to sell your understanding of and enthusiasm for a particular employer.

Jobs/Vacancies / Best Respond To Four Salary Negotiation Questions by SyberKate(f): 6:37am On Feb 17, 2017
So you have been invited for an oral interview and you want to be prepared for the upcoming salary negotiation, you do a research on the standard pay range and practice asking for what you want. Those steps are certainly valuable, but they’re not enough.

Too often, people lose money because they think through just one contingency. While they’re ready to say, “I know the starting number for someone in this sector in this city is ₦50,000,” they’ve never considered how they’d reply to “This is our best offer, with no room for negotiation.” Feeling flustered, they accept on the spot, even if they’re not at the desired number.


To make sure that doesn’t happen to you, read on for the most common things you’ll hear and tips for how to respond.

1. “What Are Your Salary Expectations?”

It sounds like the hiring manager is letting you lead. But in actuality, they want to gauge the very least you’d be willing to accept. If you say you’re hoping for a certain salary that’s at the bottom of their range, they know they won’t have to offer you more, (even if they were originally planning to).

Deal with this question with a diplomatic deflection: “I’m more interested in finding a position that’s a good fit for my skills. I’m confident that what you’re offering is competitive.”

Or spin the question right back around to them: “I’m flexible on compensation. The position and growth potential are much more important to me. Would you be willing to share the rough range you have in mind for this position?”
If they still push you for an answer, come prepared with some market data to answer the question matter-of-factly, without giving away what you’d actually accept: “Based on my research, the market rate for a position like this is ₦65,000 - ₦80,000.”

2. “How Much Are You Currently Making?”

A common mistake applicants make is disclosing their current salary early in the process. Again, employers will use this to gauge if you’d be willing to accept a low offer. If they’ve budgeted up to ₦90,000, but you disclose that you’re currently making ₦65,000, they’re likely going to start with a lower offer, assuming that you’ll be happy with a 10 to 15% jump.

Therefore, the best response is to avoid giving an exact number. Try: “I’d prefer to not discuss what I’m currently making because this position that I’m interviewing for isn’t exactly the same as my current job. I’d like to discuss the responsibilities and then I’m sure we’ll agree on a salary that’s appropriate.” Or, “My current employer doesn’t allow me to discuss compensation outside of the company. I’d like to respect their privacy.”

Of course, this may’ve come up before the interview stage, if you had to list an amount in your job application. (For future reference, I suggest putting “N/A” or an obviously incorrect number, like ₦1. In my experience, most recruiters won’t penalize you, as they’ve likely seen it before from experienced negotiators).

If you already listed your compensation, be ready to reframe that amount during the interview process. Come up with solid reasons why your current salary isn’t reflective of your true market value. For example, highlight if you’ve taken on significant responsibilities in your current job or classes to improve your skills.

Whatever you do, don’t confuse pivoting the question back or delaying it until the interview process with lying. While it’s okay to argue your market value is higher than what you currently make, it’s never okay to lie.

3. “Unfortunately, We Don’t Have Any Room to Negotiate”

Sometimes, the number really isn’t negotiable. For example, if you’re being hired into a “start class,” the offer can be nonnegotiable. (A start class is when a large company hires a number of people at the same time with similar qualifications—associates straight from law school or management trainee programs.) It can also be non-negotiable if you’re taking a public sector role and you’re already getting the best offer for the pay grade.

That’s a good time to ask about the compensation package as a whole (vacation, tuition reimbursement, stock options, bonus, work from home flexibility). Even if they can’t budge on take-home pay, other benefits could provide a real monetary value.

Once you’ve decided what benefit you’d like to focus on, try: “I understand that at this point, salary isn’t negotiable. I see that you have a tuition reimbursement program and I want to get my product management certification. Would you consider sponsoring my program?”
