Decent page but I was hoping to see some complexity in design. It seems like your typical Instagram page

I thought this was a very neat way to arrange text and photo. In particular the way key text are emphasised, as well as the arrangement of upcoming live programs on one column of the page makes it really sleek. Well planned and sequenced.

2. @ms_einsteinette & @monsieuruwem

Looking for some good ideas for a personal branded page? This couple are some of the biggest sensations in the world of Nigerian personal instagram branding right now. I stumbled on einstenette earlier last year and haven't regretted one bit. Amazing interlacing between picture and text and she sure knows how to write too. If yellow isn't your thing, get a variant from her husband's page. @monsieuruwem does great work in green as well.

So there are many superb brand pages out there especially with the big names - Nescafe, Coca cola e.t.c These guys do a great job with there pages but I stumbled on gradsuccess a few weeks ago and thought something was unique compared to other big pages - Management of text and graphics (even with bright colors) in a way that isnt distracting. Also, do you notice those bar connectors?

If you are a graphic designer, you will know Instagram is a fodder ground for lots of interesting ideas.
I will be sharing some of the best page designs I have stumbled on over the last year (Listed in no particular order!). Some of you may know some already. Feel free to share yours and let me know your ranking. Personally, my ranking is based on my perceived complexity of their designs and starting from best is 54231. How would you rank?

I love this classic bold-font combo of mostly yellow and white. Very catchy stands out and he does a lot of hardwork with the designs too. As in my own ranking, this is first for all the hardwork with design (share yours too).

Usually about 5-6 days for standard applications but then each application is different and the wait time may be less or more.

Many thanks. I submitted by 22nd Aug. So surprised to get 'transferred', 'received' and 'the Sheffield' mail all before 25th and it's non-priority.

Career › Re: Chevening Scholarship Or A N240k Job? by Xcely: 2:41pm On Feb 15, 2018

Leo3333:
Helo Nairalanders/Chevening Alumni,

Kindly advise:

Would you recommend that I quit my current N240k-paying job for a Chevening (UK Masters Degree) Scholarship slot?
Chevening alumni in the house, please advise and share your experiences during and post-study.

Please help me reach Nairalanders.

From the advice of an alumnus, I’ll say you should go for the
Scholarship.
1.) Like someone hinted, there are several organisations recruiting African talents for jobs in Africa through the CareersAfrica platform. Bosch, African Import Export Bank, Unilever, Nestle, etc Every year in London these recruitments happen. Just be on the lookout for this particular career fair.

2) From January 11th, the UK passed a law allowing international students on a tier 4 to stay back after their masters for Atleast aleast a year during which if they find a job, they can remain. This might apply from the incoming 2018/2019 set. This changes everything from before. Definitely puts the UK at par with countries like Canada etc that have similar timelines after visa expiry. It’s even better cos the UK has numerous jobs and many more to come with Brexit taking its toll.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Mono-Question Tests ! Is This the New Aptitude Test Trend In Nigeria? by Xcely: 5:32am On Feb 10, 2018

bonapri:
I thought as much. You're certainly on point.

I knew this was inappropriate linear regression the minute I saw it. That is why the sales director claimed a real sales manager would pick the right answer in seconds. This is because real sales managers expedite shipments all the time to customers and understand that packaging, loading, etc all form part of the customer's total costs which are often paid just once at the point of loading even if the customer instructs his truck not go to warehouse A but to continue to his warehouse B.

This is a real life question that only business school thorough breds can answer.

Sorry pal... this explains why you've not gotten a call from them since. If I had been there, I probably would have answered it in seconds and gotten the call back.

Yours and Polinpo’s responses have been insightful, very correct apparently. What’s probably not correct is your attitude right there. This sort of one-upmanship is uncalled for. Seeing you didn’t attend the test the least you can do is to wish them goodwill.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Is This The Wrong Answer For This Interview Question? by Xcely: 10:05pm On Oct 15, 2017

You should have added what you told us- you hate taking risks, the careless ones. You prefer to have enough time to consider before plunging into any venture. Can make you appear slow at times.

That could be a better version of your answer

Literature › Re: Sleep Paralysis (A Really Short Horror Story) by Xcely: 12:09pm On Oct 10, 2017

I think the common denominator is some sort of creature. In my case, In the instant I realized I couldn’t move I opened my eyes and saw a creature at the door. Headless and dark. One hand on the door. It just stood there. Then I opened my eyes and nothing was there.

That’s why it confuses me till date. Did I really see something? Or was i still asleep the first time i opened my eyes?

Ps: the experience happened after I watched 47 Ronin. Sister experienced same after same movie many days before

Please house what's your view on taking a loan for UK visitors visa purpose? Is this a red flag even if the amount meets the minimum requirement and has stayed for 28 days? Please also bear in mind that there's a steady income from a salary account which adds up to close to a million with the loaned amount in a month. This is asked for a friend.
