Guys,

I am seeing conflicting information online. Does anyone have a first hand information if it is still possible to enroll for 2024 jamb/utme?

Thanks,

PLEASE ANY NEED RENEWING MY DRIVERS LICENCE BEFORE MOVING TO THE UK?

HAVING IT WITH ME OVER THERE WHAT'S THE USE. IS IT RECOGNIZED AS A PROOF OF MY DRIVING SKILL OR I MUST STILL PASS THROUGH UK DRIVING SCHOOL?

Get an international driving license. Regardless you still need to take a driving test to get your uk license

Hi, everyone! I need some advice. My mum passed away recently and I’m thinking of visiting Nigeria for the burial. My F1 visa has expired. However, I’m currently on OPT that will expire in May. I am about applying for an OPT-Stem extension. Is it advisable to go to Canada for a visa renewal at this time as I have only 3 months left on my current EAS card? Has anyone been in this situation?

You can’t renew your f1 as you no longer a student. People travel on opt but your entry back is to the discretion of the POE officer. OPT EAD is not valid for re-entry as stated on your OPT card. I’m sorry for your loss

Couple of things:

PS: My comments is for the Tech space.

1) Applying to 300 jobs and 100 decline. 12 interviews is pretty much a good stat

2) Markets hasn’t gotten saturated with lots of Indians, it’s always been that way.

3) Indians are not far ahead of you, they just have better information and embraces a sense of community.

4) Give high priority to how you package yourself, your resume should be high class. If you applying for a data analyst role, let your resume show past experience as a data analyst not data admin etc as your screenshot says. It dosent matter if you have the experience or not. Nothing is stopping you from having 5yrs exp as a Sr Data Analyst in a top tech firm in Nigeria before relocating (dosent matter if you have it or not, you get what I’m saying).

5) Uplevel your skills in the field you are going. You don’t need to pay for those $1k clases. You can DIY learning on Udemy for $10

6) Certification in not needed in Data Analysis or any high end analytics role (DE, DS, MLE etc).

7) have various resume of various job tittle with directly relatable quantified experience

8 ) If you in school, hunt for internships. Job hunting should be an integral part of your productivity. Set a goal to apply to >50 daily. Before you start applying complete number 4.

9) Don’t be limited to a single job family. What your degree is in, dosent hold more weight that your work experience. Your work experience is what you make it to be. Spread your search to other tech roles that dosent require SME knowledge (e.g Scrum, Project Manager etc)

10. Network network network. LinkedIn, LinkedIn, LinkedIn.

11. Applying to 300 jobs and 100 decline. 12 interviews is pretty much a good stat

That’s said, I don’t live in the UK, and I have never been to the UK either (I like in the States). It won’t take a big lift to get a >£100k job with sponsorship if I have the interest.

Happy to give more information to anyone willing to break into the Tech space, no dm’s will answer any question here if I am needed.

Thanks

First am not the person who applied 300 jobs opening and got 100 declined. I just picked a few complaints on multiple whatappp forum I am into.
Like the person am responding to pointed out ... And secondly the person I believe has don this and more to this and I went through his lamentation and also ways he is pushing to break through. I posted few below

Finally I won't push further to respond to u... The job market is simply responding to demand and supply. That's it.

As market becomes saturated with lots of Indians, China, Nepal who are far ahead of in IT related skills, employer push to the extreme and become selective as they just want the best in not only experience but validity of visa.

I had to cough out 800 pounds, did a forklift course, got the certification before I was able to get employed.

Until you are in ones shoes you will be outside the box to give advice and you will sound just wish and the other person as unwise n not actually given his best to secure a job.

hi boss I need to ask u a question about US

What’s your question

Thespacechamp:
Hello please how fast is it getting green card from H1B visa?

Can’t get green card from h1b. H1b is an end process visa. To get GC, employers have to file, or you go through Eb2, or Marriage or Asylum or hundred other ways,

Hi all! Does Social Work have any prospects in US?

Without papers it’s going to be more difficult

Atlanta is a big state and you might need to mention the city he currently reside to get any tangible help. Also, accommodating a total stranger is now difficult except he his a student.

Actually ATL is a very small city.

stanliwise:
ok how do I reach you?

I sent you a dm

Hi Nairalanders,

I am in need of a programmer skilled in Data Structures and Algorithms to work on a project.

Preferred language is Python but Java, C/C++ is equally desirable.

The project pay is very attractive and will be paid in two parts, before and after completion.

I have no preference in location.

I am not sure of the rules of nairaland as regards obtaining contact info. So if you are interested kindly send me a dm or comment on this post and I will send you a dm.

We go over the projects requirement and will do a mock trial on your skills in DS & A

NB: I need someone highly skilled and competent in Data Structures and Algorithms and the pay is very attractive by all standards.

Thank you for your time. Hope to speak with you guys soon.

Best,

Zerohard
