Being a Developer is one of the best jobs to get right now. Imagine having to work on cool stuff, use technologies that most people do not know about, and make an impact in the technology industry. Cool, right?
Well, it really sucks when you’re highly skilled but there are no avenues to showcase these skills. People tell you to try out some projects on GitHub while you wait. Yet, even that does not guarantee career fulfilment.
Couple of times, we’ve heard a friend or someone on social media ask this question “How can I get a foreign job, whether remote or having to relocate”💰
Most of the time, we don’t have a proper answer and we just say “Me sef dey find ooo” 😞
Say no more!

Have you ever come across job ads on StackOverflow or LinkedIn and gotten excited? Perhaps you felt like, “finally, this one is mine,” but sadly, after turning in your application, you get turned down for no good reason. You think to yourself, “I’m qualified, so what’s the problem?”
It becomes even more frustrating when you see your Developer friends “making a killing” online and doing jobs you could get done without breaking a sweat. And so, if the question on your mind is, “How can I get a foreign job as a Nigerian?” Well, there’s a magic formula that takes Prosper Otemuyiwa, Neo Ighodaro, and others all over the world!
Let’s show you how easy it is to land a foreign job as a Software Developer.
ForLoop Africa is introducing a new series that will answer most of your foreign job questions.
