It’s going to be a long thread, but I hope and pray it works for you. The first thing you should do is develop yourself, don’t leave that out, because that is the first thing. Have a skill that you can boldly sell to prospective recruiters, you don’t need to be perfect,
I have an hack on how people can put their best foot forward and get job opportunities through LinkedIn and this has worked 80% of the time for the guys I’m privileged to mentor. I might just do a thread.

One lesson I’ve learned after more than a decade building startups:
Most founders overestimate how ready they need to be before applying.
The best opportunities often go to people who apply before they feel ready.
If you’re building something interesting, submit the application.
Let investors, accelerators, and customers tell you “no.”
Don’t do it for them.

For some reasons, I am happy hearing of Uncle @tunjidisu1 ’s appointment l. He is one of the great Policemen out there. God bless the works of your hand and grant you the wisdom and understanding to make great change to the Police sector just as you did with RRS.
@__iamcharis@Uglycash Nkechi, you’re acting weird and it’s frustrating. With all the screenshots I shared, you’re still asking if I contacted support? Well here you go. I contacted support everywhere and not for once did a human gave me an headway for over 30 hours
@Johnhiller908@Uglycash@__iamcharis@GoVeem If the phone lines aren’t effective or won’t be responded to, don’t put out the number. I was on the line for over 30 mins and no one responded. That’s poor customer service in my opinion.
@Johnhiller908@Uglycash Hi @Uglycash@__iamcharis, I have a similar experience. I got money deposited to my Uglycash account from @GoVeem . I've been using it for months now without any issue, all of a sudden, I can't access my account again, and all efforts to reach support have proved abortive.
Looks like my fear with @Uglycash is becoming a reality, cos why will I not get a response from Customer support for over 30hours? What’s really going on with you guys @Uglycash
Has anyone had an issues signing into @Uglycash account? I can’t access withdrawal or add funds since yesterday and all effort to get support has proved abortive. Hello @Uglycash can you assist me with this? It’s quite urgent.
