Car Talk / Re: Automatic Transmission And Gear Repairs In Nigeria by octavius: 4:31pm On Mar 06, 2019
Hello Autowiz, I recently noticed that my car stalls when I'm on the highway, refuses to exceed 80km/hr..... Even when it does, it slowly drops back below 70km/hr. I have changed gear fluids with DW-1 for Honda (genuine) and it persists....
I use a Honda CRV 2005. Please what can I do? I have scanned the transmission... It didn't bring error codes for gear except the codes attached in photo

Please help me

No such thing as crash. We are just ungrateful.
GHW saw an imminent disaster, hence, removed excesses and participants thinks it's a crash

Hello House!

Was trying to apply for ECA on WES, but my payment was declined- I tried using the Credit Card option.

can any advice be given on the best platform to pay?
Also any required first steps before proceeding to WES application will be useful.

hi Zandora,

we thank God for your bravery and resilience. it will workout for you in good time.

but however, if you don't mind sharing details on how they classify Educational backgrounds against salary/hour pay.

How's the general Pay like? for a basic Nigerian degree holder on the average.

zandora:


The chances of you being hired are almost impossible. Even me that's in Canada I'm getting almost frustrated. So far I've had 3 interviews, each involving various stages. For the first interview (with an insurance company) I got to the final interview stage with the hiring manager, she looked at the name of the bank on my resume and asked if the bank was in Canada, I said no and she was like 'oh I thought your work experience was in Canada' and in my mind I was like is this woman for real, didn't the person who interviewed me before I got to you communicate with you? Anyway, I knew then that I wasn't going to get it then, besides they were only looking for one person out of about 50 ppl that got to the final stage so my chances were pretty much slim in the first place.

For the second interview the company wanted 12 people so I was relieved. When I got to the reception I was asked for my name to confirm my interview slot, then after I told the guy he brought out this A4 foolscap sheet filled with names, my mouth almost opened because I saw about 20+ names for that day. After the interview the lady told be that they were going to interview all week and they started interviewing the previous week so I quickly mentally did the maths and estimated that with the names I saw they should interview almost 200 ppl. Then I knew I wasn't going to get it, what even pained me more was that I suffered to read and pass that their ridiculous online tests.

The third interview was with a US based bank with few corporate offices in Canada. Their HR emailed me first and said she was going to telephone me (from the U.S) for a 30 mins interview. This time I made sure I wasn't going to leave any stone unturned because the role was juicy and the salary was really good. I jacked all the behavioural situational questions I could find, I read about the company, the role every freaking thing you can imagine so I was confident. On the day of the interview the lady called as expected, gave me a brief overview of the company and role and then she said and I quote "now to my first question, what is risk?" In my mind I'm like ehn? what is risk? Is this a joke, like are you kidding me? I wasn't expecting that line of question at all especially since the role didn't have anything to do with risk whatsoever. I felt like crying, I just mumbled whatever could pass for what I thought financial risk might be. At the end she said I'll hear the decision in a few days and that only the top 2 - 3 candidates would move on to the next stage. I asked how many stages they were and she said up to 4 stages. Now I'm still waiting for a decision but I'm not putting my hopes on it.

I have 2 more interviews coming up within this week with 2 major banks. I'm getting frustrated here but I'm not going to give up because I believe that with God and patience by my side I'll land a job soon. Sorry if I was ranting, just wanted to share my experience and relieve a bit of burden from my heart cry.

P:S - When you get here and you're creating your CV, do not include your country. This is because most companies have a preference for Canadian experience over any other country experience. When you get shortlisted and they ask where your experience was from, only then do you tell them.
