Hello all,

I've just updated my site ("workabroadfromhome dot online" with a list of remote jobs applicable for Nigerians.
You don't have to worry about being applicable as I only scrapped jobs that are either globally remote or Africa remote.
Search through the different categories to find the jobs in your field/specialisation.

If you want entry-level jobs that don't require too much experience then focus on the "Customer Support" and "Other" categories. These might include Data-Entry, Online Help Support, Proof Reading, Executive/Personal Assistant, etc.
Such as;
1) Executive Assistant: weworkremotely dot com/remote-jobs/yoko-co-executive-assistant
2) Data Entry Clerk: weworkremotely dot com/listings/commercial-west-associates-data-entry-clerk

Feel free to check out the tips page of the site for more info on how to apply and prepare for jobs and interviews.

P.s - I've tried to make the job listings look cleaner than last year.
P.s - I'm also using my site to apply for remote work so good luck to all.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions; jamese360@gmail.com

Lutie20:
Ok thanx
You mean I can choose another method of payment with the Combly team

I'm saying I'm not sure, but that's a problem to deal with after you've gotten the job offer.
They're alternative payment methods available, but you cross that bridge when you get there.

Lutie20:
So how do you go about Combly is it only PayPal or they have some other method of payment

You might have to discuss that with Combly, but I wouldn't focus on it yet if I was you.
Firstly, apply for the job, if they offer it to you, then you can discuss compensation.

Lutie20:
Can I email you

Definitely!

Lutie20:
Thank you so much
Please do Nigerians receive payment through paypal

Sadly no

tellsblinks:
Scholarship on coursera?

yup

chariisGRACE:
What does it feel like to be a UI/UX designer?

I'll be going into it when I get my laptop by December.

Really fun! It's very broad, from research, to design, to implementation.
I'd recommend doing the Google UX Design Professional Certificate from Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design, that's what I did.

It's meant to take 8 months and it's designed for people that are doing it in their spare time while working. But I don't have a job so I did it in 3 months lol
I think you can also apply for a scholarship so you don't have to pay, but I don't know how to do that, but search google, you'll find it.

Thank God I stumbled on this thread....having been looking for ways of getting entry level remote work to apply for......

Boss, I'm a graduate of Environmental biology/zoology currently undergoing compulsory nysc although I'm about to complete it, four months remaining for my service yr to come to an end....I have developed myself by obtaining so many certifications relating to business from udemy and also HSE certifications too.

So I'm on the verge of building and writing my CV but I don't have any template to use....so don't know if u have any sample that u can send to me to use.....also, which entry level jobs can I easily get using the above qualifications?

I had alot of work experience but non are related to my course of study apart from my IT and Research experience

Hey, glad to hear it!
1) I'll be doing a blog post where I recommend CV builders and include templates, should be on the site Wednesday/Thursday, so please just subscribe so you get an update when I put it up.

2) Your experience is good for most entry-level jobs, but you need to look at the specific job to see what they want, though I think you're definitely good.

PapaNnamdi:
ur websites UI and UX is horrible,
website also not responsive to changes in screen size..
lemme know when you need a decent graphics designer/UI UX designer/web design and development specialist.

that's my super power

Come on son, you can do better than that. lol
You can market yourself using better means than lying or trying to put people (or their work) down. lmao

Bbqekpa:
What's the site.i can't find it on your post bro

Go to the website, it's all there.

Analee:
Pls is there no job for Android users?
Esp. ppl who doesn't av lap for now

We only share jobs we find on other job hunt websites, I've never seen a remote job that can easily be done on a phone (android or iOS), most employers require you to use a laptop or tablet.
What I would recommend if you don't have a laptop is to update your CV and Cover Letter using a friends' laptop or a cybercafe, so you can apply for the jobs using your phone until you can get a few interviews.

By when you do get a job offer, it would be easier to loan money from family and friends to afford an average laptop for work, as you'll be able to prove to them that you can pay back in a week or a month.

Lefty500:
When I entered this thread and started reading, I thought it's one of this "aspire to perspire to maguire" thread, but it wasn't. So I continued to read, and I must say thank you, because you are solving a problem I've been thinking about lately. I'm just about to finish an online course, and I will prefer working remotely, I believe this will be instrumental to my development.
Thanks son much bro.

Remote tech job (not necessary deep tech) is the way forward.

Arigato, happy you find it helpful!
Someone pointed out tamborin.io for specifically tech jobs, you should also check it out.
I'll be updating the job listing on the site by Wednesday (latest), but that's focusing on Entry-level jobs.

Tenshades:
Good job you're doing right here.

Following and taking actions.

Arigato, please share with anyone that might be interested.

franklingud:
Thank you sir for this wonderful piece.

My question is
1. Can under graduates apply? I mean O'level
2. Can Someone with basic ICT skills; software and hardware apply?
3. Can someone work with android phone?

Thank you sir.

Hello, thanks!

1) Depends on the job you find, some entry-level jobs don't require a university degree, some do. So you have to find what works for you using those sites. I'll be posting jobs that I find which don't have strong requirements, every few days.

2) For most entry-level jobs, that's perfectly fine.

3) I wouldn't recommend doing remote work with a phone (android or iOS) as stated on the site. Most jobs require you to have a lap.

P.S - no need to call me sir, I'm 29 lol

Uziyl:
You guys can check out tamborin.io it's for securing remote jobs for techies in Africa.
They also have a slack channel you can join

Hey, just checked it out, it's pretty dope. But I'm not sure the jobs there apply to most Nigerians as they require some level of tech skill.
I wanted to add it to the list of sites but I'll still think about it a bit more.

Jedalord:
Thanks will check it out. Good luck with your project

Arigato, hopefully, it's helpful to others.

Jedalord:
Kudos to you guys. I hope it goes through successfully
Would it also work for internships?
And what payment platform does it adopt?
Thanks

Thank you! Though we aren't doing anything ourselves.
I've put together tips and lessons I've learned on the home page of the site so other people can quickly learn it and make progress.
Then on the jobs listing part of the site, we've put up the sites I used (and still use) to search for remote work.
I also post entry-level jobs I find on the job listing to help people that want to apply, so they can apply directly.

Yes you can use the sites we posted to search for internships.
You should go through the site.

Ejike07:
thanks for this writeup. Our people here are so problematic. Just a man that wanted to employ me as a grafix designer wanted to be paying me peanuts and no guarantee he would even pay. On the other hand, I searched many sites but most remote jobs were restricted to US and Canada and some other western ccounyries

You understand the situation! So yeah, you can use those sites to search for jobs more suited for your skill level as a designer, I'm a UX/UI designer myself but I want to work in sales.

Though on WAFH I'll only be posting entry-level jobs (global remote) as I feel that's what applies to most Nigerians.

Ammishaddai:
Thanks for the info. However, I'd love to hook up with you for better explanation in regards to your own personal experience. Would that be okay?

It's no problem at all, I might not be able to meet in person but you can shoot me an email at info@workabroadfromhome.online and I'll respond :-).

Not sure if linking the site is an advert, if it is, please (anyone) let me know and I'll delete it.

Hello all,

So quick intro: I've been a startup founder since I graduated in 2014 (Computer Science) and I've always done that. This year my co-founder and I decided to stop working with private organizations (this was how we got funds to take care of our needs and reinvest into our startups) as they don't pay well and mostly owe you money.
We needed a more stable and lucrative source of income so we can still keep pushing our startup ideas on the side.

I started applying for jobs in August and decided to only look for remote work with Startups in the UK, US, & Asia. Nigerian companies don't pay well (maybe can't) for many reasons.
My co-founder doesn't have this problem as he lives in the UK (we met in Uni) so getting a good coding job would be very easy for him.

My startup skills are mostly focused on sales, project management, and business development. As you can imagine my CV is very weird, as I only have work experience with myself as the founder, this made it a bit difficult to make progress with job applications.
As I continued to apply, I eventually realized mistakes I was making and improved on my selection of jobs, since then I've had 5 video interviews, 3 went with someone else with 2 hopefully getting back to me this week or next.

The major thing I noticed is that they're quite a few job opportunities that are open to people from Nigeria (Global Remote), other remote jobs still require you to be in the UK or US. More interestingly, some of them don't require you to have a specialized skill like coding or finance, just a good command of English (speaking and writing) then good time management.

Most of these jobs are virtual assistance, data entry, appointment setter, customer care, telemarking, etc.
They're very entry-level but most have an average pay of $5/hr.
That's $40 per day, which is $200 per week (excluding Saturday & Sunday), totaling $800 per month.
Approximately N450,000 per month, that's really good money for most Nigerians!
Let's not forget these are still entry-level jobs, some applicable to fresh Uni graduates (blame our trash economy/exchange rate).

So I decided (startup habit) to build something to help Nigerians look for remote work online.
It's a website with hints on how to apply, interview, and get paid.
It also has a list of sites that are very helpful in finding those jobs (from experience) and finally, I personally search for the most entry-level jobs that are global remote and post them there every few days for others to see and apply.
If you're interested, please check it out, ask me if you have any questions, and please share with anyone that you think might need/want it.

P.s - This is version 1 of the site and it's MVP, not super impressive.

Ammishaddai:
Hi. I have questions . Do these companies require your certificate? Secondly, are these freelancing roles or do they have fulltime opportunities with the possibility of pension ?

Hello, they're mostly part-time/full-time opportunities. I have no idea about pensions, as international laws may differ but again that depends on the company, as some startups offer you equity after a few years.
It really depends on what you find so I recommend also doing some searches yourself using the list of sites provided.
For now, I would advise not focusing on pensions and focusing on just getting the job, they pay and the experience for your CV.

Edit: Please I am not the one offering these jobs, I am only giving you information on the site, so you can make progress, I can't hire you, I'm also looking for remote work (we're in this together) lmao.
We can only give you updates on good entry-level remote jobs on the website (job listing page), you still need to prepare and apply for the jobs.

There's literally an even coming up about this topic, who wants to go?
