@Aje_Dynamicz Why did you tell him your current timezone? You shot yourself, next time convert to ET, CST or PT, or better still ask of his own availability
I have one advice for African Tech talents
Pay attention to the global job market
Pay attention to AI(Claude, OpenAI etc)
Pay attention to what’s happening in Silicon Valley
Pay attention to X articles/Ai videos
Pay attention to trends going on globally
Pay attention! Please pay attention🙏🏽 There’s soo much to learn.
Fable 5 is back! 💃
But you have 4 days to use Fable 5 for FREE before API credits kick in by July 7th
Don't waste the free access asking random questions.
Use it to build assets that can keep paying you long after the trial ends.
Here are 5 things worth doing:
1. Build a beautiful website: Fable 5 is incredibly strong at frontend design. Launch your portfolio, SaaS landing page, or business site while it's free.
2. Create an internal tool: If you need a CRM, task tracker, client portal, or team dashboard, build it instead of paying monthly subscriptions.
3. Audit your past AI work: Feed it your previous Claude conversations, projects, or code and ask it to identify mistakes, improvements, and missed opportunities.
4. Design a business around your skills: Tell it your experience, interests, budget, and goals. Ask it to generate business ideas, pricing, a go-to-market strategy, and a 90-day action plan.
5. Learn how to run AI locally: Ask it to walk you through setting up a local LLM so you're less dependent on cloud models and recurring AI costs.
The people who benefit most from AI aren't the ones asking better questions.
They're the ones using AI to build things they own.
Which of these are you trying before the free access ends?
People who have never gotten a single response after sending over 200 cold emails are now writing threads teaching others how to land clients through cold emailing. Comical utility
There's literally zero excuse not to earn these days. Just a little effort & some agency.
Last week, Microsoft had the AI skills fest with free cert vouchers upon completion.
Employers in UK, Germany and Spain are actively looking for those certs.

Do you know that there are companies that have soft blacklisted you after a failed interview with them?
That's why no matter how many times you reapply despite now having the qualifications, you never hear back.
Few know this.
You guys have amazing CVs o.
A recurring theme I see:
1. Never add your CGPAs.
2. If your first degree isn't related to the role, remove it, or leave it as just "Bachelor of Science"
3. Never use images, I don't care if they're icons. ATS don't like it.
4. Call out what YOU did, don't hide under "Contributed to..."
Let me take a break! 🙏😭😂
If people can search for the service you offer and your profile never comes up, you’re positioning yourself wrongly.
A client from the UK just told me he found me because he searched “Webflow Developer” on X and my profile showed up.
Visibility is part of the job.
If recruiters are ignoring you, start here. This is how top candidates structure their resumes to get noticed fast.
1. Multiple Columns: Use columns to keep your company names, roles, and education easy to scan. Keep it structured, but don’t waste space with heavy sidebars or fancy templates.
2. Short and Focused: Recruiters spend seconds on your CV. Stick to 1 page if you can. 2 pages max only if you have solid experience. Cut the fluff - show only what matters.
3. Clear Sections: Replace “Objective” with a short About Me. Skip unnecessary sections. Every part of your CV should add value.
4. Simple Layout (No Tables): Avoid tables and complex designs. Keep it clean so both humans and ATS (screening systems) can read it easily.
5. Bullet Points Only: No long paragraphs. Use bullet points. Keep each point 1–2 lines and focus on results, not duties.
6. Clean Formatting: Don’t overdo fonts or styling. Keep it neat and consistent. No big or flashy text.
7. Relevant Skills Only: Remove basic skills like MS Office or Windows. Focus on skills that actually make you stand out.
8. No Personal Details: Skip full address, parents’ names, full date of birth, religion, nationality, passport details, etc.
9. Contact Info: Use one email and one phone number only. Keep it professional.
10. No Extras: No photo, no signature, no “I certify this is true.” Not needed.
11. Online Presence Check: Search your name on Google. Clean up anything unprofessional. Recruiters will check.
This is one thing remote workers do that immediately signals they are not ready for international clients.
The moment I see it, I know.
You spent three hours perfecting your CV. You listed every tool you've ever touched.
You even added a professional photo.
But your email address is still [email protected].
Your Proposal, cover letter/cold pitch starts with "Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my interest."
Or "Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this meets you well"
It doesn't meet them well. Ever!
International clients are not reading past that.
You don't get a second first impression in a cold outreach or job Application.
That one message either sounds like someone they want on their team or it doesn't.
