Ever since moving to Nigeria from Europe, I've gotten a lot of rejections from recruiters citing my location as a reason.
I have constant power as I live in a good location, two back-up power generators, and very good fibre optics internet with a speed of 90mbs.

I can and have proven all this so my questions are;
1) What advise could you offer for me to get a better chance at getting recruited?
2) Is it advisable to change my location to my previous country of residence?

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager.

This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
