WAYS TO LOSE A JOB BEFORE YOU'RE INTERVIEWED

The internet is filled with all the things you have to do to get your job but no one ever talks about all the things you have to not do to get a job. So here are some important “don’ts” of job hunting.

Don’t use one method of job hunting: Ok, we get that social media and online applications are the in-thing now but never forget or underestimate the power of plain ol’ physical applications submissions, recruiting agencies and “connect” referrals.

Don’t do mass applications with the same CV: No really, do not do that. Don’t apply for every job (you really cannot do “anything”) and if you’re going to apply to a lot of jobs in your field, ensure each application is tailored to the job description and company.

Don’t “play yourself”: As noted in point 1, social media is the in-thing right now and it can cost you major opportunities. Do not post anything you don’t want a prospective employer to see. If you do? Congratulations, you just played yourself *in D Khaled’s voice*

Don’t go for an interview unprepared or late: Fun fact; interviewers spring up surprise tests on job seekers most of the time. So research the company, industry and the job responsibilities, prepare for tests and rehearse your responses/presentation. Also, don’t be late, ask for directions and know your way to the venue before the interview date.

25 FACTS ABOUT OBAMA

By   KelseyWarner   on March 4, 2016 Inside Gov As the final remaining year of the Obama administration is well underway, the legacy that President   Barack Obama   will forge in history remains hotly contested.   Conservatives argue   Obama is the “worst president ever” while   liberals have claimed   he has “done more good for this country than any president before him.” He likely will not play the role of a “lame-duck” president, as the administration has yet to slow down. Obama currently finds himself in the middle of a   heated standoff   with the Republican-led Senate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. He still pursues a workable   plan to close GuantanamoBay , one of his 2008 campaign promises. As his term nears its end, the passionate, vocal opinions on both sides of the political aisle may reach their crescendo as his legacy becomes ripe for interpretation. When reflecting on Obama’s time in the White House, the facts beyond the opinions deserve to be examined. Obama

FAILED DISCOVERY AND RISE OF REPROBATE YOUTHS

The seven eyes (Rev 5:6) is a symbol of the seven Spirits of God which also represents Vision. This dimension of the seven Spirits is what God has released to the church this end-time to take control and establish His kingdom in major sectors governing nations of the world. The seven eyes represent the master plan of God on how the church will fulfill his mandate on the earth in seven key areas: Religion Education Business/Economy The media Entertainment Government Social Service (Families, NGOs, Foundations) Every plan is a vision conceived by the one who developed the plan (God) and can be handed over to his chosen vessels to be executed. In every plan and purposes of God he lays it in the heart of a man as a burden to see it fulfilled; and the church is the burden bearer of His council and purposes to see its manifestation before the rapture and that is why he has released this dimension of his seven Spirits to the church for the actualization of this purpose.
