I tried to build a CNN today and all I can say is my model is still learning and if this gets a 99.0 accuracy, I'll share on my GitHub with an API for anyone to try their hands on
@SPaschalson CNN stands for Convolutional Neural Network, It’s a deep learning model that processes data (usually images) through layered patterns to identify features and make predictions. It’s basically how computer vision works.

I have reviewed CVs from Nigerian data professionals applying for UK roles.
The technical skills are often there. SQL. Python. Power BI. Real project experience.
What is missing is almost always the same thing.
The evidence of impact written in language a UK hiring manager recognises.
Here is what I mean.
Nigerian CV: "Responsible for analysing sales data and generating reports for management."
UK hiring manager reads: task. Not impact. Not scale. Not outcome.
What they need to see: "Rebuilt the weekly sales reporting pipeline in SQL, reducing delivery time from 3 days to 4 hours. Output used by 6 regional managers to reallocate ₦200M in quarterly stock."
Same person. Same experience. Completely different read.
The UK market does not care more about technical skills than Nigeria does.
What it does differently is filter on specificity.
Can you tell me exactly what changed because you were there? A number. A before. An after.
Nigerian professionals often undersell because in many Nigerian organisations, you do not take individual credit for team outcomes, it feels culturally wrong.
In a UK job application, not taking that credit costs you the interview.
Your experience is real. Your impact is real.
The packaging is the gap.
Fix that before you apply for one more role.
