3 THINGS PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS SECRETLY DO BEFORE DECIDING IF YOU ARE A GOOD FIT



Have you made an employer’s short-list in a job hunt lately? If you’re one of the finalist candidates – or the chosen applicant – the employer may want to conduct a background check on you before bringing you on board. Employers who conduct background checks want to confirm details about you and see if you present a risk to them. Being prepared will help you avoid any nasty surprises. After all the work you’ve done to get this far, you don’t want to let incorrect or missing information prevent you from getting that great new job.



Check your social media: Social media is the new job market and what better way to check out your habits, behaviours and thoughts than via your social media pages. Many youths have lost job opportunities due to obscene and derogatory posts on their social media accounts. Also, always  ensure the information on your CV and your social media accounts tally, you don’t want employers to see Unilag on your CV and LASU on your LinkedIn profile.




Contact your references: Oh yes, this happens a lot, most people don’t put references in their CVs because they think recruiters don’t call to find out about them, others don’t even inform or ask for permission from the people they use as their references. Make sure the references in your CV are people that can vouch for you; some recruiters even contact your former workplace to find out why you left and your workplace behaviours.




Appraises your outfit: The rule of first impressions always wins in our interactions with one another and the best way to quickly surmise a person is through his/her clothing. An employer can decide if you’re perfect for the job based on what you’re wearing and how you’re able to comport yourself, do not wear overly tight and uncomfortable clothing to a job interview and always dress for the job.

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...

BREXIT

An interview with Rev Victor Atokolo SO WHAT IS BREXIT? BREXIT, the term was coined during the movement towards referendum, the last referendum in England were the votes decided that Britain should exit the European Union. So the term actually means “Britain Exit”, they just coined it, came up from those who wanted Britain to exit the European Union. DOES BREXIT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENDTIME? A lot to do, now we have seen the movement towards the one world government, consequently the one world religion and the full revelation of the antichrist, but we understand that that fullness cannot manifest until the church is taken away at the rapture, but the speed the quickens it in moving is that if the European Union remains intact, Turkey joins them as they are proposing and then the present move of the Democrats in America succeeds, we’re likely to have one world government in a short time and that would have intensified the persecution of Christians and Jews and...
