Please how long did it take before you receive invitation for bootcamp!!!

I was at Andela yesterday for the interview. Wow! I said to myself, 98% of guys here are under 21 years and full of Energy. I felt quite old Lol.

Interview was great but they need people who can give total commitment.
Overall, I like what they do there.

Erza, I guess I saw you yesterday

I can't say but it'll be highly irresponsible of me to be inconsistent in attendance.

Hi everyone.
I just want to say that I am excited about how people have taken interest in the Andela Fellowship program. This is a positive sign that we have bright minds in this country interested in technology and innovation.
I applied for the Andela fellowship also but didn't score very very very well...that aside anyway....
I have been following this thread for a while (although without commenting), and I just want to dish out one or two advice. Regardless of whether you make it into the Andela fellowship program or not, please make the best use of your interest in technology. In essence, I urge everyone to try to become technological entrepreneurs. Come with an idea, develop a product, and then start your own company (a Startup) like its done in world class technology industries.
Our country needs to become technologically vibrant. For this to happen we (you and me) need to build the technology industry. The easiest way to achieve this is to create startups that solves societal problems through technology.
For those in the Andela Fellowship program (@Erza and co), please try to think big (outside Andela's scope). Use the knowledge you get from the fellowship to build great software products, solving societal problems and in turn create your own startup.
For those who do not make it into the Andela fellowship, there are other ways of gaining knowledge about technology and innovation. For example, you could take online Computer Science and Programming courses at Coursera https://www.coursera.org/. They even have a course that teaches you how to start a start up technology company ( Start up Engineering) https://www.coursera.org/course/startup. Please try and improve yourself to enable you build great product. An alternative to coursera is is EDX https://www.edx.org

In summary I'll like to say thanks to everyone who has been contributing to this thread. @Erza, @Bamoza and many more, you have been very helpful with regards to information flow.

I apologize for writing such a long post. I very rarely write post. I am guessing that why this one is lengthy.
I also apologize for divulging a little bit out of the subject of this thread.

Good luck everyone.

P.S.: In case anyone is wondering if this is a case of all talk and no deeds, well I have projects of my own I am currently working on. Although for now they are still in conceptual stages.

@eslanger, Thank you for this wonderful advice.
Andela should be a motivation for people to key into the new way of solving societal problem- software development.

Looking forward to meeting y'all at the bootcamp today.

Smh....am @ the venue too early ...looking for where to hangout....

Hi this is Iyin.

I agree. We'll work on that.

Also please do keep applying if we don't accept you. We always appreciate repeat applications especially if the people show improvement. Our recruitment systems also improve so we might have missed you before but we won't miss you again.

Cool! How do I go about applying again? Do I necessarily have to apply using a different email address?

Cos I tried that. At first, was told that I have registered with my email address. After I logged in, it automatically brought my previous plum assessment result.

Just did my interview today, @rooftop cchub.
it lasted for like 10mins. Interwied by a lady (Juliet).
