]]> What AI Training Jobs Actually Are

AI training is one of the fastest-growing remote work categories in the world, and most of the people doing it do not have a technical background. They are writers, teachers, nurses, accountants, students, and people who simply have strong English and careful attention to detail.

Here is what the work really looks like:

  • You log into a platform dashboard and see available tasks.
  • You read a prompt (for example: “Write a detailed answer to this medical question,” or “Which of these two AI responses is more accurate?”).
  • You complete the task carefully, following the platform’s quality guidelines.
  • You get paid per task or per hour, usually weekly, in US dollars.

The AI companies doing this work — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and many research labs — pay billions of dollars every year to human trainers. This is because no model can improve without careful human feedback. Your feedback literally shapes the next generation of AI tools that millions of people use.

This is not passive income. It is focused, thoughtful work. But it pays well, it is fully remote, and the barrier to entry is lower than most people realize — if you know how to get in.

Why Getting Accepted Is the Hardest Part

Most people never earn a cent from AI training, not because they are not good enough, but because they never make it past the application stage.

The platforms are receiving thousands of applications every week. They screen ruthlessly. A sloppy profile, a rushed sample answer, or a poorly written bio is a 5-second rejection.

The good news: once you pass the application, you are in. You can earn for years on the same account. So it is worth investing a few extra hours to get the application right.

This guide walks you through exactly how to do that.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Successfully

Step 1: Pick the Right Platform for You

Do not apply everywhere at once. Pick 2 or 3 platforms that genuinely match your skills:

  • Strong writer, good grammar, clear reasoning? Apply to Outlier, Data Annotation Tech, and Surge AI.
  • Technical background (coding, math, engineering)? Outlier and Surge AI have specialist tracks paying $30 to $50+ per hour.
  • Beginner with no specialty? Start with Remotasks, Appen, and Clickworker. They are more forgiving on the way in.
  • Professional credential (medicine, law, finance, academia)? Expert platforms like Labelbox Boost, Invisible Technologies, and Prolific research studies will pay you the most.

Step 2: Prepare Your Setup Before You Apply

Before you click “Apply” on any platform, make sure:

  • You have a clean Gmail address using your real name.
  • Your LinkedIn profile is updated with a real photo, a clear headline, and a 3-line summary. Many platforms check.
  • You have a Payoneer or Wise account set up so you can receive payments the moment you start earning.
  • Your laptop has reliable Wi-Fi (5Mbps minimum) and you can work without frequent power cuts. Some tasks are time-sensitive.
  • You have 2 hours of uninterrupted time to complete the application properly. Do not rush this.

Step 3: Create a Strong Profile

Photo

Use a clear headshot with good lighting, plain background, and a neutral professional expression. No selfies in bed. No group photos. No cartoons.

Headline

Write one clear sentence that shows your value. Examples:

  • “Experienced writer and editor with 5 years in corporate communications.”
  • “Registered nurse with clinical experience in oncology and patient care.”
  • “Software engineer specialising in Python, JavaScript, and data analysis.”

Bio / Summary

Keep it to 3 to 5 sentences. Cover: what you do, your relevant experience, and why you want to work on AI training. Be specific.

Weak example: “I am hardworking and love learning new things.”

Strong example:
“I am a university graduate with 3 years of experience writing educational content. I am detail-oriented, research carefully before answering, and enjoy projects where I can apply my research and writing skills.”

Skills and Domains

Only tick skills you can genuinely demonstrate. Platforms test you on claimed skills. Failed tests damage your account permanently.

Step 4: Nail the Application Questions

Most AI training platforms ask written screening questions. Here is how to answer them properly.

Common Question 1: “Why do you want to work with us?”

Weak answer:
“I want to earn money and gain experience working with AI.”

Strong answer:
“AI is reshaping how information is created and delivered, and I want to contribute to making these tools more accurate and useful. My background in writing and research means I pay close attention to clarity and correctness, which I believe is valuable for improving AI output. I also enjoy focused, independent work, which matches this kind of role.”

Common Question 2: “Describe a time you paid close attention to detail.”

Weak answer:
“I always pay attention to detail in everything I do.”

Strong answer:
“While editing a 40-page report for my team, I spotted that two tables had mismatched figures that had been overlooked in three previous reviews. I traced the error back to a formula in the source spreadsheet, corrected it, and flagged a similar pattern in another document before it was published.”

Common Question 3: Sample Task

Example: “Explain photosynthesis to a 10-year-old in 150 words.”

What they are checking:

  • Did you follow instructions exactly?
  • Is the explanation accurate?
  • Is it clear and structured?
  • Did you match the tone?

Read twice, write draft, edit, check word count, then submit.

Step 5: Do NOT Use AI to Write Your Application

This is the single biggest mistake people make in 2026.

Every serious AI training platform now runs AI-detection on applications. If your application reads like ChatGPT, you will be rejected immediately and sometimes banned from reapplying.

Write your answers in your own voice. Short sentences are fine. Honest thinking is what they want.

A Final Note

AI training is one of the few online income opportunities where the work is genuinely meaningful, the pay is genuinely real, and the barrier to entry is genuinely reachable for most people in Nigeria and similar markets.

But it is also competitive. The people earning $1,000 to $4,000 per month on these platforms are not lucky. They followed process, consistency, and discipline.

Do the same.

]]> If you are reading this, you have probably seen people online claiming to earn money from home by “training AI.” Most of them never tell you which platforms actually pay, how to get accepted, or what to expect when the first task lands in your dashboard.

This guide cuts through that noise.

Inside, you will find 7 legitimate platforms that pay real money to regular people for helping train, test, and correct AI systems. You do not need a tech degree. You do not need to live in Silicon Valley. You need a laptop, stable internet, strong written English, and the patience to apply the right way.

The people who succeed on these platforms are not smarter than you. They just know the rules. By the end of this document, so will you.

What “Training AI” Actually Means

Before we list the platforms, let us clear up the confusion.

Training AI is not about writing code or building models. It is about providing the human feedback that makes AI systems smarter. Your work typically falls into one of these categories:

  • Writing or rewriting text prompts and responses so an AI learns better answers.
  • Rating and ranking responses from different AI models (“which one is more accurate?”).
  • Labeling images, videos, and audio so computer vision systems can identify objects.
  • Fact-checking AI-generated content in your area of expertise.
  • Writing expert-level answers in fields like medicine, law, finance, programming, and science so models can learn from them.

The pay varies from $2 per hour on basic microtasks to $40 or more per hour for expert-level work. Where you land depends on the platform and the skills you bring.

The 7 Platforms

1. Outlier (by Scale AI)

What it does: Outlier hires people to train large language models like ChatGPT-style AI by writing responses, ranking answers, and fact-checking. Tasks range from general writing to specialized domains like coding, math, and STEM.

How you earn: You are paid per task or per hour. You clock in on qualifying projects and work at your own pace.

Expected pay: General tasks: $8 to $18 per hour. Specialized tasks (coding, advanced math, medicine): $20 to $50 per hour. Nigerian users have confirmed payouts.

Payment method: Direct bank transfer via Airwallex or similar. Works with Nigerian bank accounts.

How to apply: Go to outlier.ai and sign up. Fill in your profile completely, highlighting any degree, writing experience, or technical skills. You will be invited to take qualification assessments based on your profile.

Tips to get accepted fast: Select domains you can genuinely perform in. Do not claim to be a software engineer if you cannot code. Take the writing assessment seriously: typos, weak grammar, and shallow reasoning are auto-rejections.

2. Remotasks

What it does: Also owned by Scale AI. Focused more on image labeling, video annotation, and text tasks for training computer vision and language models.

How you earn: Pay per completed task. Each task type has its own rate, and your rate increases as your quality score improves.

Expected pay: $3 to $10 per hour for beginners. Experienced annotators earn $12 to $18 per hour. High-quality workers get invited to better-paying projects.

Payment method: PayPal or Airtm. Airtm works well for Nigerians and converts to Naira.

How to apply: Visit remotasks.com, register, and complete the onboarding course. You must pass a free training course before you can start earning.

Tips to get accepted fast: Complete every training module, not just the ones you think are easy. Review each task carefully before submitting; a low quality score will lock you out of higher-paying projects.

3. Data Annotation Tech

What it does: Hires people to improve AI by writing high-quality responses, fact-checking, and rating AI output. Heavy focus on written English and subject-matter expertise.

How you earn: Hourly pay while you are actively working on tasks.

Expected pay: $20 to $40 per hour. One of the better-paying platforms, but competitive to get into.

Payment method: PayPal, weekly.

How to apply: Go to dataannotation.tech. Complete the application form and submit sample responses to their screening prompts.

Tips to get accepted fast: Your screening answers must be detailed, well-structured, and show clear reasoning. Do not use ChatGPT to write your application; they check. Write like you are explaining a concept to a smart friend.

4. Appen

What it does: One of the oldest and most trusted crowdsourcing platforms for AI training. Projects include search engine evaluation, social media content rating, transcription, and data collection.

How you earn: Project-based. You are paired with projects that match your language, location, and skills.

Expected pay: $3 to $14 per hour depending on project type. Search engine evaluation pays better than basic microtasks.

Payment method: Payoneer. Perfect for Nigerian users.

How to apply: Register at appen.com. Select Nigeria as your country and complete your profile. Wait to be invited to specific projects.

Tips to get accepted fast: List multiple languages if you speak them (including Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Pidgin). Local language skills unlock higher-paying projects. Read project guidelines carefully before starting your qualification test.

5. Clickworker

What it does: Micro-task platform with AI-training work mixed in: text creation, surveys, photo collection, and category evaluations.

How you earn: Pay per task. You pick tasks from your dashboard.

Expected pay: $5 to $10 per hour on average. Good for filling gaps in income.

Payment method: PayPal or bank transfer. Minimum payout is low, making it good for beginners.

How to apply: Sign up at clickworker.com and complete the assessments for the task types you want to work on.

Tips to get accepted fast: Take every assessment available. More passed assessments equals more task access. Keep your profile active; inactive accounts get fewer task invitations.

6. Surge AI

What it does: Premium platform for data labeling and AI training. Used by top AI labs for higher-quality feedback work.

How you earn: Per task, with rates that reward accuracy and speed.

Expected pay: $15 to $30+ per hour. Among the highest-paying for general AI training work.

Payment method: PayPal or direct deposit.

How to apply: Apply at surgehq.ai. Applications are reviewed manually and the acceptance bar is higher than most platforms.

Tips to get accepted fast: Highlight any professional writing, editing, research, or teaching experience. If you have a LinkedIn profile, make sure it is polished before applying; they do check.

7. Labelbox Boost (and Similar Expert Platforms)

What it does: Connects expert-level professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers) with AI companies that need specialist input.

How you earn: Hourly or per-project contracts, depending on the task.

Expected pay: $30 to $80+ per hour. The highest tier in this space if you have real expertise.

Payment method: Bank transfer or PayPal through the platform.

How to apply: Similar expert marketplaces include Invisible Technologies, Toloka, and Prolific. Search each and apply where your expertise matches.

Tips to get accepted fast: A real credential matters here. A medical degree, a legal qualification, a PhD, or several years of verifiable professional experience. Screenshots of your expertise (publications, certifications, portfolio) help.

Common Mistakes That Get You Rejected

Most applicants are not rejected because the platforms are saturated. They are rejected because they made avoidable mistakes. Avoid these:

  • Rushing the application. These platforms review applications carefully. A 3-minute application looks exactly like a 3-minute application.
  • Poor written English. Even basic grammar and spelling mistakes on your application signal low-quality future work.
  • Using AI to write your application answers. Most platforms now detect AI-generated text. If your application reads like ChatGPT, you are out.
  • Claiming expertise you do not have. If you say you can do Python and then fail the coding assessment, the platform marks your account as unreliable.
  • Using a weak or free email address (like yahoo.com or a random handle). A clean Gmail with your real name looks more professional.
  • Working from a VPN that masks your Nigerian location. Many platforms now detect this and ban accounts. Apply as yourself, from Nigeria. Several of these platforms genuinely welcome Nigerian workers.
  • Giving up after one rejection. You can often reapply after 30 to 90 days with an improved profile.

Your “Start Today” Checklist

Do these in order. You can complete all of this in a single afternoon.

  • Create a clean, professional Gmail address with your real name (e.g., firstname.lastname@gmail.com).
  • Open a Payoneer account at payoneer.com. Most of these platforms pay through Payoneer, Airtm, or PayPal.
  • Create or update your LinkedIn profile with a clear photo, headline, and summary. Several platforms check.
  • Write a 150-word “About Me” paragraph you can reuse across applications. Keep it clear, professional, and specific about your skills.
  • Pick 3 platforms from this list to apply to today. Start with Outlier, Appen, and Remotasks.
  • Take every qualification test or assessment offered. Do not skip them.
  • Set a calendar reminder for 7 days from today to follow up and apply to the next 2 platforms.
  • Track your applications in a simple spreadsheet: platform name, date applied, status, next step.

Final Word

The difference between people who earn real money on these platforms and people who give up in frustration is rarely talent. It is consistency. Apply properly. Take the assessments seriously. Deliver high-quality work in the first 30 days. Your rates and opportunities will climb from there.

You are not trying to get rich overnight. You are building a reliable side income (or a full income) that pays in dollars, from your laptop, on your schedule.

That is very achievable. Start today.

]]> Let Us Be Honest

If you have scrolled LinkedIn, X, or Instagram in the last six months, you have seen dozens of ads promising dollar income “from your phone.”

Most of them are selling a course. A few are outright scams.

That is why most people in Nigeria are skeptical when anyone mentions earning online. The skepticism is earned.

But here is the part no one says clearly: real international platforms exist. They pay real dollars. They pay Nigerians. And they do it every week. The catch is that none of them are shortcuts. They reward people who treat them like a real job, not a get-rich-quick scheme.

This guide gives you 10 of the most legitimate, verified platforms available to Nigerian users in 2026. For each one, you will see what type of work you do, how you get paid, what the minimum payout is, and the exact strategy to succeed there.

No fluff. No affiliate nonsense. Just what works.

The 10 Platforms

1. Upwork

Type of work: Freelance contracts across writing, design, development, virtual assistance, marketing, admin support, data entry, AI prompt engineering, and more.

Payment method: Payoneer, direct bank transfer via Wise, or bank card. Payoneer is the standard for Nigerian freelancers.

Minimum payout: $1 (no real threshold); funds clear 5 days after client approval.

Best strategy to succeed:
Niche down. Do not market yourself as “a writer who can also design and do social media.” Pick one tight specialty (for example: “LinkedIn content writer for B2B SaaS founders”). Send 10 to 15 well-tailored proposals per day in the first 30 days. Your first 5 reviews are the hardest and most important; accept lower rates to earn them, then raise your price.

2. Fiverr

Type of work: Productised services (“gigs”) – you list what you do, clients order, you deliver.

Strong categories: voiceover, video editing, logo design, AI art, copywriting, WordPress fixes, translation.

Payment method: Payoneer or bank transfer via Fiverr Revenue Card. Withdrawal works smoothly for Nigerians.

Minimum payout: Withdrawals clear 14 days after order completion (7 days for Top Rated Sellers).

Best strategy to succeed:
Your gig image matters more than your bio. Look at the top-ranked seller in your category, then create a gig image that is cleaner and clearer than theirs. Write your gig description with buyer search terms in mind. Offer three tiered packages (Basic, Standard, Premium). Respond to messages within one hour; response time affects ranking.

3. Toloka

Type of work: Micro-tasks and AI training: image labeling, text evaluation, fact-checking, survey tasks, and audio work.

Payment method: PayPal, Payoneer, or cryptocurrency (USDT).

Minimum payout: $1 via most methods. Low threshold makes it good for beginners.

Best strategy to succeed:
Focus on improving your quality rating in the first week. Higher quality unlocks access to better-paying “expert” tasks. Read every task instruction fully before starting; Toloka is strict about following guidelines to the letter.

4. Contra

Type of work: Freelance marketplace focused on design, marketing, writing, and product work. Commission-free (you keep 100%).

Payment method: Direct payment via Wise, PayPal, or bank transfer.

Minimum payout: No platform minimum; set by your invoicing.

Best strategy to succeed:
Contra rewards a strong portfolio. Build one portfolio page showing 3 to 5 of your best projects with clear before/after results. Use the “Independent” profile feature, which ranks in Google search. Many Nigerian freelancers get discovered through SEO here more than through the platform itself.

5. PeoplePerHour

Type of work: UK-based freelance marketplace. Writing, design, programming, digital marketing.

Payment method: Payoneer, PayPal, or bank transfer.

Minimum payout: $30 via bank, $20 via PayPal, $10 via Payoneer.

Best strategy to succeed:
Apply for “Hourlie” fixed packages instead of competing on hourly bids. Fewer sellers use Hourlies, which means less competition. UK and European clients use this platform heavily, so price in GBP/EUR where possible – it protects your earnings against Naira devaluation.

6. Clickworker

Type of work: Short tasks: content writing, transcription, surveys, photo collection, app testing.

Payment method: PayPal or SEPA bank transfer (PayPal works for Nigerians).

Minimum payout: €5 for PayPal, €10 for SEPA.

Best strategy to succeed:
Take every “UHRS” assessment you are eligible for. UHRS tasks typically pay better than general Clickworker tasks. Log in daily; the dashboard refreshes, and good tasks disappear within hours.

7. Payoneer’s Payment Network (as a platform itself)

Type of work: Not a job site. It is the receiving layer for the rest of this list. Most international platforms that pay Nigerians pay through Payoneer.

Payment method: Receives USD, EUR, GBP, etc. from platforms and marketplaces; you withdraw to any Nigerian bank account in Naira, or to a USD domiciliary account.

Minimum payout: No minimum to receive. Withdrawal fees are low.

Best strategy to succeed:
Open your Payoneer account before you apply to any freelance platform. Use the Payoneer “Global Payment Service” to receive payments as if you had a U.S. bank account, which unlocks platforms that would otherwise reject Nigerian bank details.

8. Prolific

Type of work: Paid academic and market research studies. Short surveys and research tasks.

Payment method: PayPal or bank transfer via Circle.

Minimum payout: £5.

Best strategy to succeed:
Fill out every “screener” questionnaire in your profile honestly and completely. The more screeners you complete, the more studies you qualify for. Use a desktop browser; mobile users get fewer study matches. Nigerian participants are accepted, but studies targeting Nigerian demographics are limited, so check daily.

9. Respondent

Type of work: Paid research interviews. Companies pay you to share your professional opinion via Zoom calls (30 to 90 minutes).

Payment method: PayPal.

Minimum payout: Paid per study; typically $50 to $250 per hour for professional roles.

Best strategy to succeed:
Your profile is everything. List your job title, industry, and tools you use. Research firms pay the most for professionals in HR, marketing, software, finance, and healthcare. Answer screener questions quickly; spots fill within hours of being posted.

10. Wise (formerly TransferWise)

Type of work: Like Payoneer, Wise is a receiving platform, not a job platform. Included here because most clients on Upwork, Contra, and direct contracts prefer paying via Wise for lower fees.

Payment method: You get virtual USD, GBP, and EUR account numbers. Clients wire you directly. You convert to Naira at mid-market rates.

Minimum payout: No minimum to receive.

Best strategy to succeed:
Use Wise for direct client payments and Payoneer for platform payouts. Together, they cover 90% of international payment scenarios for Nigerians. The Wise mid-market rate typically beats what your Nigerian bank would offer on a normal wire.

How to Avoid Fake Platforms and Scams

For every legitimate platform, there are ten clones trying to trick you. Use this checklist before signing up anywhere.

Red Flags That Scream Scam

  • They ask you to pay before you earn. Real platforms never charge you to sign up, take assessments, or unlock “VIP tasks.”
  • The website has no clear “About Us,” no physical address, and no traceable team.
  • They promise fixed daily earnings (“earn $50 every single day!”). Legitimate freelance and training platforms pay based on work completed, not promises.
  • You can only withdraw after “inviting” friends or topping up your wallet. This is the classic MLM/Ponzi structure.
  • Domain was registered less than 6 months ago. You can check any domain’s age at who.is. Most scam sites are brand new.
  • Reviews online are either suspiciously glowing or suspiciously absent. Search “[platform name] + reddit” or “[platform name] + scam” before signing up.
  • They ask for sensitive documents (BVN, full passport, full bank details) before you have earned anything.

Green Flags That Confirm Legitimacy

  • They are discussed on reputable sites like Reddit, Trustpilot, Glassdoor with hundreds or thousands of reviews.
  • They have a real company behind them (check their Linkedin company page).
  • They pay through recognized processors: Payoneer, Wise, PayPal, Stripe, direct bank transfer.
  • Their terms and payment policies are public on their website.
  • They issue 1099 tax forms (US platforms) or equivalent for high earners – an actual sign of tax compliance.

How to Set Up to Receive International Payments

This is where most Nigerians lose money or miss opportunities: the payment setup. Get this right in one afternoon, and every platform above becomes instantly accessible.

Step 1: Open a Payoneer Account

Go to payoneer.com. Sign up using your legal name (exactly as it appears on your ID). You will need a government-issued ID (international passport, national ID, or driver’s licence) and a utility bill for verification. Approval takes 1 to 3 business days. Payoneer gives you virtual receiving accounts in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, and more. You can receive payments as if you had a bank account in those countries.

Step 2: Open a Wise Account

Go to wise.com. Sign up and verify with the same documents. Wise is stricter than Payoneer on verification but offers better exchange rates. Use Wise for clients paying you directly (outside of freelance platforms). Use Payoneer for freelance platforms.

Step 3: Open a Nigerian Domiciliary Account

Visit any major Nigerian bank (GTB, Access, Zenith, UBA, First Bank) and open a USD domiciliary account. This lets you receive and hold dollars locally, and withdraw dollar cash if needed. Link your domiciliary account to both Payoneer and Wise so you can withdraw dollars directly, rather than converting to Naira every time. This protects you from Naira devaluation.

Step 4: Set Up PayPal Correctly

Nigerian PayPal accounts cannot send or receive business payments by default. To bypass this, link your Payoneer USD account to PayPal. Payoneer provides a US-based bank routing number that PayPal accepts. A detailed walkthrough is available on Payoneer’s help center. Search “receive PayPal payments Nigeria Payoneer.”

Step 5: Keep Records for Tax Compliance

As you earn, keep a simple spreadsheet of every payment received (date, platform, amount in USD, amount converted to NGN). Nigeria requires tax filing on foreign income through the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). Most freelancers earning under a certain threshold pay minimal tax, but keeping records from day one saves you headaches later.

The Bottom Line

Working online for dollars is not a scam. It is also not a shortcut. It is a professional path that thousands of Nigerians are already walking, quietly earning $500 to $5,000+ per month from their laptops.

The people making money on these platforms followed three simple rules: they picked one or two platforms, they treated the work professionally, and they gave it 90 days before judging whether it was working.

You now have the roadmap. The next move is yours.

In today’s fast-paced work environment, communication is everything. But one subtle habit that often goes unnoticed is when emails are sent.

For many professionals and HR teams, sending emails late at night has become the norm. While it may seem like a sign of dedication, it raises an important question—does late communication improve productivity, or does it silently damage team performance?

From a human resource management perspective, timing plays a critical role in workplace efficiency. Employees who receive emails outside working hours often feel pressured to respond immediately, leading to burnout and reduced job satisfaction.

Organizations in Nigeria’s corporate training space are beginning to recognize that productivity is not just about output—it’s about sustainability.

The Hidden Impact of Late Emails

Late emails can:

  • Blur the boundary between work and personal life
  • Increase employee stress and fatigue
  • Reduce focus during actual working hours
  • Create an “always-on” work culture

For companies investing in HR consulting in Lagos and across Nigeria, improving internal communication culture is now a priority.

Best Practices for Email Communication

To build a healthier work environment:

  • Schedule emails to be sent during work hours
  • Set clear communication expectations within teams
  • Encourage asynchronous communication where possible
  • Train managers on effective digital communication

The Bigger Picture

High-performing organizations understand that systems matter. Whether it’s communication, recruitment, or training, structure drives results.

At AVA, our corporate training programs in Nigeria help organizations build systems that improve both performance and employee well-being.

The secret to a happy and highly effective professional team is really no secret at all. Much of what inspires success in the workplace boils down to putting the right tools in place to enable communication and community among workers.

As any HR professional knows, that can be harder than it sounds. An alarming number of workers report high levels of disengagement and dissatisfaction with their company culture. This number is even higher among women. What can HR pros do to produce happy and more efficient teams?

1) Honest feedback

Honesty really is the best policy. Transparency is instrumental in building a healthy professional relationship.

The feedback you provide; whether you’re highlighting strengths and weaknesses, won’t sink in if your *reports don’t trust you — especially if they believe the lack of transparency may impact their career. Try and enable a culture where management feels comfortable speaking frankly and honestly with their subordinates.

Equally important is allowing your employees to express worries and frustrations without fear of repercussion. Tools like TINYpulse that enable anonymous employee feedback make telling the unvarnished truth feel comfortable and secure.

2) Say what matters to you
In many cases, people don’t think their professional lives connect with their values outside work. Many don’t believe that the work they do creates a positive impact outside the four walls of the office. That doesn’t have to be the case.

Putting your company values at the forefront of what you do helps to build connections among team members and gives them a shared purpose at work. Volunteering, fundraising, and messaging centred on creating a positive impact can all make a difference. Valued initiatives allow companies to reach out and connect with their community as well.

3) Track progress
Historically, HR professionals have been tasked with identifying all the ways in which employees exhibit signs of growth — both objective metrics, i.e. higher productivity numbers and more professional accolades, and subjective measures like positive feedback from supervisors and colleagues.

Thanks to advanced data tracking and processing software, HR pros can take that information and get meaningful insights into the development of their teams. Using benchmark data, HR teams can set targets and help workers establish goals to stay motivated, purposeful, and proactive. These targets can be personal for individual workers or set to track team development, engagement, and job satisfaction.

4) Shared leadership
Overcentralizing ideation and decision making in leadership roles leads to stagnation, disengagement, and even boredom among team members. Instead, think of ways to distribute shared leadership responsibilities throughout your teams. Not only can it strengthen the bonds of your workforce, it may also help broaden the understanding of many people. Leadership responsibilities can be a real eye-opener!

Shared leadership introduces a degree of flexibility that can make an organization more efficient, more cohesive, and more inclusive. In a shared leadership environment, team members collaborate in decision making and build trust as a community unit.

5) Build understanding
Disagreements in the workplace are inevitable. However, when HR leaders enable communication and understanding between individuals and teams, conflict becomes less frequent (and, very often, less entrenched). Having an outlet to anonymously discuss frustrations can go a long way.

The way a company handles disputes between employees and teams provides a key indicator of a healthy company culture. When you make an effort to understand where your people are coming from, you can find creative and equitable resolution to problems that otherwise may have gone undiscovered. Building understanding is fundamental to successful conflict resolution.

6) Positive mood
It might sound silly, but good vibes lead to better business outcomes. Creating a positive, friendly work environment makes work more enjoyable. When work is more enjoyable — dare we even say “fun?” — workers are more productive.

Challenges exact less of a toll on people, and long hours melt away rather than dragging on. Over time, workers in a positive environment experience less burnout and turnover. Not every company culture is ready for a game room, but even small measures can make a big difference.

Recruiters and hiring managers now go beyond traditional CVs to evaluate candidates—and LinkedIn has become a key part of that process.

For anyone applying through a recruitment agency in Nigeria, having a strong LinkedIn profile is no longer optional—it’s essential.

The post Why It’s Important to Include LinkedIn on Resume? appeared first on AVA.

]]>

The multimedia aspect and thousands of job opportunities on LinkedIn make it a safe spot to land a job. Sometimes, job seekers attach the link to their working profile to make an impression on an employer. Sometimes, employers ask to share a LinkedIn page if they like an applicant and want to check his background.

If you’re not a great writer, there are many professional writing services that can help! They’ll take care of all paperwork and embed your qualification into a sellable resume. One of the services going further is Skillhub: they offer resumes, cover letters, and even LinkedIn profiles updated by professional writers from the LinkedIn writing service. So go ahead, and check it now, to submit a winning job application!

Whatever your dream job is, an informative LinkedIn profile can be a precious asset. Just treat it as a high school diploma: a piece of valuable information to impress your future boss!

The Benefits of Presenting LinkedIn to Recruiters

Statistics say around 80% of applications benefit from including a LinkedIn profile. The recruiter may or may not mention it, but don’t skip an opportunity to highlight your skills and qualifications

Why it’s important to include LinkedIn on a resume? Here’s the list of the top 5 reasons:

  • Engagement: the hiring manager will see you more as a person who’s a part of a professional network.
  • References — your LinkedIn contacts might give you a good recommendation and contribute to your job application.
  • Hobbies — you might not be aware of that, but recruiters pay a lot of attention to how you describe yourself in daily life.
  • Portfolio — you may expand the range of previous projects and show them off more thoroughly.
  • Addition (not substitution) to a resume — a social media profile will give HR staff a better picture of you.

Remember to be transparent about your skills and job experience in whatever position you apply for. Better to be honest with your employer during an interview than feel embarrassed when you start working!

Where to Include LinkedIn on Resume?

Make sure you insert the link to the social media pages in the resume’s header. It’s equally important information as your address or phone number; it’s not something to be at the very bottom, so the recruiter might not even see it!

A LinkedIn page inserted at the top of your resume gives a subconscious hint to check it out. If you fit into the job requirements and prove to be a great match, the recruiter will visit your page multiple times.

Why can’t the link just be elsewhere, for example, in the “Work experience” section? Because the average time recruiter spends on a resume is between 5 and 7 minutes (usually less). They just scroll a document up and down with their eyes, looking for the key skill, that might suggest you fit into the position.

The other important step career experts recommend — personalize your LinkedIn profile link, don’t just leave it unattended. For example, put your first and last name instead of the hyperlink symbols. In case you can’t go with a hyperlink, use the web address (which won’t take long to type).

When to Remove LinkedIn from a Resume?

You now know why it’s better to include LinkedIn on a resume, but are there any exceptions? Of course! Sometimes, putting social media links is not a good idea, and here’s why:

  • You didn’t update the profile — and it’s not as ready and impressive to get you your dream work.
  • The recruiter doesn’t have an account or doesn’t even know about it. For example, an active LinkedIn presence is not something you expect from a nurse, a teacher, or a fireman.
  • The profile duplicates a resume — and this is a complete turn-off for the recruiters! Don’t ever copy-paste the LinkedIn information to a resume, or vice versa!

A key selling point in LinkedIn is the “About me” section. That’s where you can showcase the most impressive career stories. You can’t tailor it to every job, but it’s important to specify a professional objective: what you’ve accomplished already, what’s challenging you now, and what can you do to be a perfect fit for a company.

The Bottom Line

Looking for a job is a tough process: you’re browsing positions, negotiating salary, and going to interviews to find a solid spot. However, you may break the ice with a unique LinkedIn profile, entering the world of amazing opportunities.

Before sharing your LinkedIn profile, make sure it’s visually appealing. Employers might also want to speak to your former colleagues, so check your professional network again and ask for recommendations beforehand. Another way to get to know each other is by having a little chat with the recruiter; it allows you to ask awkward questions before the interview.

As the last thought, remember — you’re never alone in a job search. The worst you can do about it is to start panicking; the best thing — is just to take another opportunity to find yourself a good spot. If LinkedIn is one factor that makes you stand out, you should definitely paste a link into your resume!

That’s why the right tools are essential.

For companies investing in project management training in Nigeria or scaling operations, choosing the right software can significantly improve productivity.

What Makes a Great Team Management Tool?

Managing teams, no matter their size, is an incredibly complex task. It involves knowing each team member’s skills and workloads and creating a plan to make individuals act as cogs in a larger mechanism.

This kind of precision demands the best team management software. There are many options to choose from, but which is right for you? Here are some of the top options in the industry and the pros and cons of each.

2022 Best Team Management Software Rankings

1. ProjectManager

ProjectManager is a front-to-back work management solution without a complicated setup. It’s designed to take all aspects of a project into account, from the planning stage through the end of the project, as well as everything necessary for team management.

Take a look at three of the most notable ways ProjectManager takes team management software to the next level.

 

See What Team Members Are Working on

ProjectManager’s team management feature was created to drive teams forward. This page shows all the information you need about who is working on what tasks and projects so that you understand their workload. It also means you know exactly where to direct your questions about details.

Whether you’re a manager or a team member, you can use the team page as a directory to connect with other stakeholders and stay on the same page. When you know what everyone is working on and how much is on their plate, it’s simpler to form stronger teams.

Every aspect of ProjectManager was designed with teams in mind, so all of our features are built to encourage and support collaboration. One of these is our task management feature. Whether you’re working from a task list or a kanban board, you can add additional team members by simply searching their name or department. Team members receive updates automatically so no changes go unnoticed.

Need to chat directly with a team member? Keep this correspondence in the task itself by leaving a comment and tagging specific team members. The days of toggling between email chains and projects are over. Now, all the information you need is in one location.

ProjectManager’s workload feature eliminates the need to memorize who is working on what. This tool gives a visual representation of what team members are working on, how long they’ve been and will continue to work on them, upcoming gaps in workload and more. This information is necessary to assign the right people to tasks.

To manage a team effectively, it’s crucial to know how much everyone has on their plate. When workloads become too heavy, this can lead to burnout, frustration and in the worst cases, failure to complete tasks.

When you consider ProjectManager’s ability to organize teams, assign work, balance resources and track progress in one, easy-to-use software, it’s clear that it’s the best team management software of 2022. Ready to try it for yourself? Click here to get started for free.

2. Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a member of the Microsoft Office 365 family and was developed to serve as a communication platform for teams using MS Office.

MS Teams is entirely geared toward quick, easy communication, much like Slack. Tools like these are very handy for supplementing other software and boosting communication via a network of chats and channels. This allows employees to create and follow different threads to stay updated on the latest information. Not all messages, and especially quick questions, are worthy of an email and in this case, MS Teams is especially useful.

The Downside of MS Teams

Unfortunately, in order to use MS Teams for project management purposes, users must toggle between MS Teams and MS Project. This constant back and forth can lead to miscommunication, unseen messages and general confusion. Additionally, you must commit to the full suite of Office 365 applications in order to access MS Teams.

If your team does wish to use a team management software other than MS Teams, they’re stuck using one application for communication and one for project management. This can become inconvenient, especially for large teams.

3. Asana

Asana is work management software with team management capabilities. Many teams choose Asana for its simplicity and seemingly user-friendly interface.
Each of these is a cornerstone of project management, and, for some teams, this is totally adequate. But, for most, these features are extremely limiting, both for the projects themselves and for team collaboration.

Tasks can only be assigned to one person, even if the task requires a team of individuals. In this case, each team member must be assigned to a separate but individual task. This means team members cannot leave each other messages within tasks or share important documents and information.

Additionally, while Asana does now offer Gantt charts as a “timeline feature,” these Gantt charts aren’t fully functional and not as robust. The same goes for other advanced project management software capabilities, such as workload management and timesheets.

4. Teamwork

Teamwork is team management software designed to facilitate stronger, more united teams. Much like Asana, Teamwork lets users create tasks and manage workloads with kanban boards. That being said, Teamwork simplifies things even further, making it well known for its straightforward, user-friendly interface.

As we’ve said, Teamwork revolves around simplicity. But at a certain point, this means sacrificing functionality. Unfortunately, this is where Teamwork finds itself in trouble. The tool falls short as a team management solution, as there aren’t much more users can leave on besides a few work management and communication features. Even for the smallest teams, this poses a big issue and sets a precedent for poor collaboration.

Additionally, Teamwork is similar to Office 365 in that it encompasses a suite of tools. Why is this such a bad thing? In order to plan and manage a project from start to finish and chat with team members, users must jump between multiple tools. This is an unnecessary extra step that slows teams down rather than empowers them to get more done together.

5. Basecamp

Basecamp is a project management tool with a heavy focus on team management and, especially, team communication. It’s meant to be the one-stop “basecamp” for the entire team to come together and collaborate while increasing individual productivity.

Basecamp’s most notable feature is its message boards, making it a good communication tool. Conversations are organized by project, rather than by users so everything about a project can be found in one location. This structure isn’t common, but it can be a good fit for the right team (probably a small team).

Basecamp’s major weakness is its limited capabilities. As far as a productivity tool goes, it’s very effective. Users can collaborate and work from personal to-do lists with ease. But as far as managing projects, Basecamp is severely lacking.

Basecamp does not offer any features to create and follow detailed project plans, like Gantt charts, task lists, kanban boards and more. This means team members are cornered into managing their workload from to-do lists alone. As you can imagine, this can make it extremely challenging to see the big picture and understand the project as a whole. Additionally, it requires team members to bounce between tools, one for messaging and another for more advanced project management features.

6. Trello

Trello is team management software for people who love to work with kanban boards. It helps teams collaborate on its ubiquitous boards, lists and cards. The visual tool is ideal for those who are new to project management and want a tool to build workflows. Managers can use the dashboard view to avoid roadblocks and keep teams productive.

That said, one of the major roadblocks has been put up by the app itself. If you want to unlock the power of the tool, you’re going to have to sign up for expensive upgrades. It’s a bit of the old bait and switch. Even if you put the money down for the more comprehensive software, it’s not equipped to deal with larger projects.

7. ClickUp]

ClickUp is a team management software that focuses on productivity at any time across many industries. It helps teams with multiple views, from list to board, calendar to Gantt and more. It’s also very customizable. Collaboration is fostered with chat, proofing and other features. Managers will appreciate the real-time reporting to help keep their team on track.

All those features feel at first as if you’ve hit the jackpot, but in time you’ll realize the features fall short. It can be overwhelming and unintentionally get in the way of team productivity. Another hurdle to clear is the steep learning curve. The many features and customization is going to take a lot of time and effort to master. As a team management software, you might throw your hands up in frustration and look for a better-designed tool.

8. Monday.com

Monday.com is team management software that’s ideal for marketing campaigns and sales pipelines, but also for general task management and even bug tracking. It’s a highly customizable tool that allows for strong communication, collaboration and visibility. Among the features that stand out are its time tracking, dashboards and integrations with external tools such as Jira, Slack and more.

The promise of those integrations is more than the software can deliver, though. They’re missing many that users probably want. That might seem a minor criticism, but considering the price, you’ll want more than less. Even if you have the money to pay for the tool, it’s best to factor in a long training period as the tool is hard to learn. That’s especially odd as they market it to a general public that is not necessarily aware of project management. Project managers will be disappointed by the difficult time-tracking feature and lack of key project details, such as start and end dates, deliverables, etc.
