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 f...

7 FACTS ABOUT PRIDE

I want to talk about the issue of pride as regards to us as individuals. Pride is something we exhibit in our day to day lives, but nobody would agree that he or she is proud. But I would want us to know that at certain times in our lives we have shown pride.  Pride goes in two ways, you may either attribute it as a mark of honour to someone you love or yourself. For example "When a husband is proud of his wife, or a father is proud of his son who graduated with a first class honours" and many other examples I can cite. People can also be proud of themselves to boost their self confidence. For example: someone can be proud of been single, or someone can be proud of been fat just to knock off negative views and opinions of people towards those that are fat. The other way is when the person is full of himself/herself, super imposes, boozy, dominarian, arrogant, boostful. rebellious, egocentric and full of self justification. This is where the problem lies about p...

ADOPTING THE CHURCH GROWTH STRATEGY INTO THE BUSINESS WORLD

The business world should take sometime and study the church organization and try to implement its findings into its operation. Every thriving church today thrives not only because of its spiritual principles but also because of its application of business principles in managing the church as an organization. It might interest you to know that the church is 90% administration and 10% spiritual. The church is the wealthiest organization on earth and its uncontestable. But beyond its spiritual ties and beliefs in the divine, one needs to begin to looking into how they are able to maintain growth over the decades, fund mind blowing projects, with people trooping into the churches on daily basis. I think the church has the most unique marketing strategy of all times and its best if organizations begin to take a look into it. Having worked with a religious organization for over a decade, I have come to understand the reason why the church attracts so much people to invest willin...
