I once lied on my CV. Confidently said during the interview that I was well conversant with excel. I got hired. 2nd day on the job my manager sends me a spreadsheet and asks me to build a pivot table by EOD. I had no idea what that meant. So I spent my whole lunch break plus a couple minutes after that eatching YouTube tutorials about it. I was sweating and trembling. I submitted the Pivot table at 5:02 PM. Wasn't perfect but manager didn't complain. From that I learnt that the gap between "I can't" and "I'll figure it out" is not as huge as you think. You can always lie in that CV and then you can learn after you are hired. A few weeks or days always enough to learn something

US Tech stocks now make up over 35% of the entire S&P500. 🇺🇸
This is why the #FTSE will, for the foreseeable, struggle with real growth until they address the issue of lack of tech stocks.
Miners, insurers and banks are fantastic dividend payers and can make for brilliant recovery plays when undervalued.
But where does the continued growth come from over the next several decades though?
I wish it was more appealing to invest in the UK but for younger people in particular, it makes little sense to park your money here.
I have been using my Nigerian phone numbers (+234) since I relocated to Austria many years ago. This is my usual practice, even when I visited Nigeria recently.
I recharge NGN1,000 every six months and then call a family member using that amount. My phone number remains active. Alternatively, you can use MTN or Airtel to keep your number active.
MTN allows you to pay a small fee to keep your line active for up to 3 years, even if you don't use it.
1 Year: Dial *305*1# (costs ₦400)
2 Years: Dial *305*2# (costs ₦800)
3 Years: Dial *305*3# (costs ₦1,200)
2. AIRTEL
Airtel protects your line from disconnection for up to 1 year.
1 Year: Dial *121*5*2# (costs ₦500)
Hope this helps!

I took an Aether onboarding task on Outlier today and passed,
Let me tell you one truth you won't see on he timeline.
The assessment has changed since the last time I took it last, (about a month ago),
Let me just say this, I feel sorry for people who are looking for so-called "past answers" for the screening.
Your onboarding task might be different from the answers you are getting,
I will touch on how to pass the aether omboarding in my upcoming space by 11PM today,
You really should not miss it.

Let me stop here for now!!!
Becoming an HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) driver in the UK is a structured, regulated process overseen by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
It requires a full Category B (car) licence, medical fitness, a provisional HGV entitlement, passing the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) tests, and (for most people) professional training. HGV typically refers to Category C (rigid goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass/MAM) or C+E (articulated with trailer); C1 is for smaller 3.5–7.5 tonne vehicles and is less commonly called “HGV”.
You must hold the full Driver CPC (Driver Certificate of Professional Competence) if HGV driving is your main job (professional/commercial use). Exemptions exist for non-commercial use, certain low-speed vehicles, or emergency services, but these are narrow.
The process usually takes weeks to several months, depending on training availability, test waits, and whether you choose intensive courses or self-study for theory. Pass rates vary (practical tests around 50–60% nationally). Rules are consistent across England, Scotland, and Wales (Northern Ireland has minor differences via nidirect).
Step 1: Check Eligibility and Get Medical + Provisional Licence
. Minimum requirement at least you must be 18 years old, You must hold a full UK, EU/EEA, or equivalent Category B car licence. No criminal convictions that bar you (e.g certain driving offences).
• Medical fitness (Group 2 standards): Higher standards than a car licence (e.g vision, no certain medical conditions like uncontrolled epilepsy or severe sleep apnoea). You will complete the DVLA D4 medical examination report form.
. Done by your GP, optician (for vision section), or private driver medical clinic.
.Typical cost: £45 to £100 (private clinics often cheaper/faster than GPs, some offer same-week appointments and re-tests).
.Bring ID, glasses/prescription if needed, and list of medications.
. The doctor fills and signs the D4 form and it’s valid for 4 months.
• Apply for provisional HGV entitlement and that is Free.
• Download and complete D2 application form (choose categories: e.g C or C+E for full HGV).
• Send D2 + completed D4 + your photocard licence (or paper licence + photo + ID) to: DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BR.
• You receive your updated licence with provisional entitlements (e.g C1, C, C+E) within 3 weeks (longer if checks needed)
• This allows supervised practice once you pass theory tests. You lose HGV entitlements if you lose your car licence.
Note and very important: Make sure you do the medical first as it’s very important and main thing
Step 2: Pass the Theory Tests (Driver CPC Parts 1 and 2)
These are computer-based at any DVSA theory test centre (hundreds UK-wide; find via postcode) you can find many Center via https://t.co/QNqtvcq6Iq
You can take them on the same day or separately. Pass certificates last 2 years.
Part 1: Theory (Multiple-Choice + Hazard Perception) — Book separately but can do together.
Multiple-choice: 100 questions (1 hr 55 min) and pass 85/100. Covers Highway Code, signs, Official DVSA Guide to Driving Goods Vehicles.
Hazard Perception: 19 video clips (click mouse when hazard develops), pass 67/100. One clip has two hazards.
Cost: £26 (MC) + £11 (HP) = £37 (same price evenings/weekends).
So it doesn’t end there as there is another one which is Case studies
• Part 2: Case Studies and this have 7 real-life scenarios (short stories about HGV driving), 5–10 multiple-choice questions each (1 hr 15 min), pass 40/50.
• Cost: £23.
• Book after provisional (no need to have passed Part 1).
• Preparation: Official DVSA books/apps/practice tests (free mocks available). Revise The Highway Code, Know Your Traffic Signs, and the DVSA goods vehicles guide.
Location is Any DVSA theory centre (e.g., major cities have multiple). Results immediate or by letter.

He tried to scam me......but instead of paying him money, I hacked into his laptop and redeemed $10,000 worth of giftcards live on webcam!
Dear Nigerians in UK, becareful of these things. It can ruin you 🇬🇧🇳🇬
1. Gambling with your hard earned money. This will throw you into financial issues. You will start borrowing, becoming anxious and broke.
2. Helping friends receive money to your account or forwarding to an unknown account. It can get you blocked by banks. Its a big deal here.
3. Fighting at work: this can get you sacked and possibly lose your visa status. It is highly unprofessional.
4. Sleeping at work: Dont do this. Its better to go home off unwell than sleep at work. Confirm also, if you can sleep during your break.
5. Dating a colleague; This may start off good, but if the relationship breaks, you can be accused of something more serious. Avoid at all cost.
6. No matter what, dont lay hands on your woman or man. Better to walk away in the middle of heated argument than to stay there and get more infuriated.
7. If you are off sick, dont pick a shift or job elsewhere. No matter how enticing. The agency will try to lure you. But if shiii hits the fan, you're the one liable not them.
8. You can block your work colleagues from your social media, to avoid stories that touch. Its better to be safe than sorry.
9. Drinking and driving, is a no no. Avoid this with your life. If you know you eill drink where you're going to, take an uber or go with a friend who can drive (has license or their own car).
10. Don't drive if you dont have a full UK driving license. Avoid using your expired international drivers license as well.
11. Don't date an under age. Always ask their age. No matter how big they are, no matter the circumstances of the meeting, always ask their age. Dont assume. Ignorance is not an excuse in the eyes of the law. RUN. So many have bee imprisoned and deported because of this.
12. Dear care worker, treat your patient right. No matter what conditions they have or how old they are, you can lose your job if you treat them unfairly.
If you have anything else to add, please add. Don't forget to share this. You can follow @KelvinOssai
