Microsoft outsourced their MS365 to upwork to manage cos they were trying to cut cost. So Upwork hires and pays contract staffs for those roles

The thing is Upwork as a company isn't hiring Nigerians anymore, but you can still get MS365 gigs on upwork through clients.

Just optimize your profile, purchase connects and apply. The good thing about this niche is that it's not over crowded so you might just get lucky and land a job.

Nazgul:
Remember I told you earlier that upwork doesn't employ Nigerians for MS365 technical support roles anymore.

The job is managed by upwork themselves not a client on upwork. So until they start employing Nigerians, there's absolutely nothing you can do for now.

As for projects, if you have other skills which you can defend, you can include it on your profile as your strengths. You can even create a specialized profile that would highlight your specific skills.

Let's say you're into graphics design, you can include YouTube links on your profile to showcase your previous jobs to prospective clients.

And if I'm going to be honest with you, even with all that, the odds that clients would reach out to you is 50-50. Because your profile has no reviews. So you have to keep applying.

Truth is upwork is expensive and can be frustrating for newbies, cos at some point you might have to buy connects, upgrade your membership, boost your proposal...etc.

But if you're lucky enough to get a job, then another, and another, and have good reviews on your profile, that's when you'll start enjoying upwork. Cos clients would start inviting you to apply for their jobs.

They told us that Christianity came from the white man for two reasons:

To make us feel indebted.

To destroy our self-image, making us think all Africans were pagans and uncivilized, living like uncontacted tribes in the bush.

But the Bible shows otherwise:

In Acts, during Pentecost, people from many nations heard the good news in their own languages and carried it back to their lands.

The same book also records that Philip preached to a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians.

This proves two things:

Christianity did not begin its spread from Europe.

Ethiopia had a queen, showing that not all Africans lived primitively.

It'll most likely happen or worse, it stays stagnant and happens in October, then immediately recovers.

These are some of upworks MS365 roles. Unfortunately, none of them are opened to Nigerians for now.

The 3rd Pic was my advice to you last year. Of which you responded that you're learning it to invest in yourself.

The best you can do for now as an MS365 support engineer is to build your LinkedIn profile and search for roles in line with your skills. You'll definitely find companies looking for cloud engineers.

I am telling you as someone affected that they do run a ponzi scheme. The format of selling land probably no longer works, so they are looking for a new format.

Welp, I guess I was just super hyper and didn't read in between the lines of your replies last December. That probably explains why his price was half what he quoted to you. Once again body bin just dey shak me sotey I no fit comprehend and money full hand that period lol.

So to my understanding, there is no chance of getting an M365 technical support role on upwork?
The proposals have to be on other job roles meaning totally moving away from what I learnt?

Thanks

Just come to an agreement with him. In Nigerian business negotiation is allowed.

Nazgul:
If you had this kind of profile in 2022 nothing should stop you from having a top rated badge by now.

ajailer:
sure, but not for now. I will get ack to you once I am through with the process.

ajailer:
Thanks bro, though I am yet to do the interview. I pray it turns out positive for me and I will def share my experience with you.
By the way, I am also still not done with my training, I was actually invited to apply for the role, and I did.

Hi,

I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have an online M365 Admin interview coming up soon, and I'd love to learn from your experience. Could you share any tips or insights you have about the interview process?

Specifically, I'm wondering what types of questions I might be asked during the 15-minute interview. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Nazgul:
Ok

V9er:
Thanks once again. I would definitely update you

Nazgul:
I have no idea. It's been a while we talked sef. Everybody de busy de hussle for money.

Nazgul:
Getting him to teach you isn't the problem. The problem is getting a remote job after paying so much money. The link he gave to me for the job I'm currently doing has been blocked I posted it on my diary.

I want to give you the heads up now so that if you still want to go ahead with the training I can send you his contact. But I'm not guaranteeing you any job after learning. So that tomorrow you won't start calling me out on nairaland.

Nazgul:
Thanks. I really appreciate.

V9er:
Thanks chief

Let's talk here.

I've noticed that whenever I eat after 9pm upwards I usually feel very tired and sleepy most times I even sleep on the meal.

Just last night I prepared food and couldn't it until almost 10pm because I was busy. I was still eating the food when I started feeling dizzy and dozzed off. I woke up around past 1am this morning to find the food in front of me. I finish it sha.

I want to know if this is normal or it's a medical condition cos I'm already starting to get worried. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

I wonder sometimes when people come on here and write vitriol like this for people to read ..I hope after writing this garbage you look in the mirror and reflect on yourself ,and ask yourself where did it all go wrong for me .
You are no better than these so called 'ghetto monkeys' in-fact your habitat is no better with the epileptic power supply and open defecation everywhere in your country...If you are in the US then count yourself lucky to have fled the country with the buzzing flies around your mouth..
