pls guys,I read on a site about MOVING TO VIETNAM that another option of moving is getting a business visa,travel to Vietnam and start applying for jobs. as soon as your three months visa is about to expire. you apply for work visa.

is this reliable pls?

Citygal:

For WAEC, go to the school you wrote the exam. For BSc., go to your department

regizoch:
must the BSc be original, dont They accept statement of result?

Thane:


thanks very much, my first problem is getting the original waec and bsc. I asked my classmates about the waec but no response yet, for the bsc, I was told it usually comes out after 4 yrs of graduation. How did u do yours please

Joohan:



For the WAEC result, if you stay in Lagos, go to the headquarter at Yaba.

Schools defer, mine gives your certificate after 2years

Thane:


Thanks very much, I'm in lagos but my sec sch is in Onitsha. If it is possible to get it in lagos, what are the requirements I need to present in the waec office when I get there?
About the bsc certificate, so I have to wait till whenever it's available abi?

WhyNa:


Big YES

kevwemanuel:
@whyna or anyone with sufficient know-how, how can we beat the "accent" challenge? Are all Vietnam organizations very rigid when it comes to accent discrimination or it varies from organization to organization?

In an application I made, after passing through the necessary stages, I was evicted on the basis of my accent. I have attached my eviction mail.

For people that have started sending applications, please kindly share your experience so far.

molbic:
. oh so sorry my g but questions for you are : were you faking accent or you were using normal Nigerian accent because I never knew I had an accent until I listened to my self on a radio and microphone and I was annoyed with it.. although since I noticed I had worked on it and it's better now

dlordy100:

I feel you faked your accent and never used the normal Nigerian accent due to fear you would be judged on that

kevwemanuel:

No, I didn't fake it. Although my accent is far above the average Nigerian accent. From this verdict, it's apparent that the average Nigerian accent will be totally unacceptable by this organization. This corresponds with @molbic's observation that his normal Nigerian accent was highly flawed when he listened to himself on radio. I don't know if the same holds true for other organizations.

Do you have a real life experience? Please share.

Youonlyliveonce:


The problem is you definitely faked an accent, it's easier to use your normal Nigerian accent than trying to fake an American accent. It was probably an American that reviewed your submission.

And the bolded is not true, I have spoken to a lot of foreigners they understand what you saying more with your normal accent than trying to sound American you will always sound funny to them.

WhyNa:


I'm really sorry about this. There's a few things I'd like to say....

1) Be you. The job market is huge. Have you heard the Ugandan accent before? I have a friend who has been working here for years and is Ugandan.

2) Start small. I've said this before fore. That company is nice walai and from the looks of it, a big one cos not many of them can send that mail with better English like that.

3) Grow a thick skin. You'd probably get many more mails like that and in a not so nice format

4) For now, quit trying and this goes to others trying now. Borders are not open. No school has the money to bring you in now and pay your quarantine fees too except big international schools and yes they will go for a native instead

That being said, no one has complained about my accent. If for anything, they commend it, I've always know this since I was still in Nigeria though.

If accents can be worked on, maybe you should spend more time working on it...if it's possible. You can also send me the video let me watch and give inputs.

All the best

kevwemanuel:


Thanks for your input and sharing your experience. Yes, it's a big organization, I suspect that that's the reason for them being very selective and picky. From what you've said, it seems the smaller organizations will be less selective of accents. At the appropriate time like you recommended, I will shoot my shots.

By the way, thanks for responding to my pm. I already sent you an email explaining this situation. Like you requested, I have sent you the video. Please go through and revert.

Thankssssss.

WhyNa:

You're welcome. I'll take a look at it.

Yea start small and work your way up

Pureheart91:

aminusodiq:

Pls help..texted alot of agents on Facebook and they told me I cant get a work permit while still in Nigeria!!! Pls your clarification will be highly appreciated

WhyNa:


See these things are coded and not everyone deals with Nigerian matter

WhyNa:

aminusodiq:
pls how much did u get it and how can I go abt it ... Kindly respond

Pureheart91:

Replace the dot with .

WhyNa:
When I found a genuine agent and decided to start the process, I had just 14k in my account. Lol. I had ajo I was supposed to collect and also a kolo but all put together wouldn't even have been enough. I just told God to surprise me....and HE DID!

The very first thing I got was a police character report from Alagbon. Then I proceeded to get my medical and TEFL certificate.

With this 3 documents and my degree, I left for Abuja for authentication.

First stop was Ministry of Education and boy! a suprise was waiting for me there
