Exhibit a CANDO attitude
Please note that only shortlisted candidates would be contacted.

I would still contact them if I were you, because although the listing is a few months old they are constantly recruiting. Besides, the small effort it takes to apply for the job is nothing compard to the benefits of working with a multinational org.

Thanks for the info mudom!

obanikoro2, the only reason I introduced a new topic under this thread was because at the time I was a new member to nairaland so could not start a new thread of my own (this is per the site's moderator/administrator).  I apologize for the inconvenience and definitely did not plan to detract from musakool's question.  It has nothing to do with my American heritage!

musakool, i tried to perform an internet search on Blue George Consult, but nothing came up which is why I think the SMS is a fraud and may eventually lead to some 419 (especially since you did not apply to them directly for a job).  Proceed with caution.

oh and stellose, my sista, while you are funny, please don't forget that I can hear (and read) pidgin.  I'm American AND IGBO!

Hello adeyemi_oa. Try going to http://www.bakerhughes.com/careerportal. The tricky thing is you need to scroll to the lower part of the page to where you see the job search box then select Nigeria for the country search criteria.

Thank you so much SAMTOYE. I will look at GLO's website as I'm still here in the US without access to TELL magazine.

Apply on MTN's website for the jobs below.  They expire 02 February 2008.

Hello nairalanders,

I was born and raised in the US, but am moving to Abuja in three weeks.  My father and husband were born in Nigeria so I'm a dual citizen that has spent time in Nigeria, but there are still many things I don't know about life there.  For one, I have worked as a consultant in the IT industry for nearly 10 years and have a Master's degree in Information Systems.  I am now looking for a job in Nigeria, but don't know what I should expect in terms of salary for someone with my educational and professional background.  I'm hoping someone here could tell me.  As a consultant I would implement, train on, and provide technical support for ERP applications as well as do project management and business process re-engineering.  In the US I would make around $90,000 USD per year or more depending on the amount of travel involved.  Now, I know I can't expect to earn that much in Nigeria, but I don't know what I should expect or how to make sure I'm negotiating a good salary in Nigeria.  What say ye?

I know finding a job is hard but NEVER respond to interview offers for jobs to which you have not applied. They are scams and will surely con money from you at some point.

sounds like a scam so watch out. better yet, ignore them.
