ProjectKay:
I need some advise please, I just discovered that my DS - 160 form has an error as I mistakenly click "Self" as the sponsor instead of a company as indicated in my i20.

I'm in a fix right now don't know what to do, my interview is on Monday.

Thanks
My cousin and I got fully funded offers without deficits. We both chose "self" as the person paying for trip. We both got our visas approved. Two of my friends got full funded offers too without deficits but chose "the University" as their own options. They too got their Visas approved.
I don't know if that answers your question.

KAYCEEJUNIOR:
No matter how powerful the pastor is, he can never break it because it is a convenant between two and he the pastor was not involved, it takes the two of them to break it oooo.......if you doubt, go ask your pastor, even T.B joshua will tell you to go and break it with who ever you did it with.
I understand your point sir, I think the next step is to take them both to an anointed pastor. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I was so mad to find out that my sister who isn't in the ivory tower yet is in a convenant. The annoying thing is that this girl is so intelligent and promising. She is still a virgin and claims to really love the guy. I'm of the opinion she breaks the vow, how I don't know. I would appreciate it if we can help us out. I really care about my sister.

If you like, meet a Professor of CV writing,

If job no dey, job no dey.

Teach people how to survive on their own and not how to write cv's.
I agree with you to an extent, but everyone can't be an owner, take google chairman Eric Shmidth and google owners Page and Brin will feel the effect. Just so you know, he submitted a CV and He is worth $9.4billion(2003).

Romance10 Things That Women Wish Men Understood About Them by akannium(op): 1:19am On Dec 01, 2014
#1: I love it when we spend quality
time together:
87 percent of women said they would
give up part of their husband’s salary if
they could spend more quality time
together. Make time for her, guys!
#2: I need to feel loved:
Actions speak louder than words.
Everything from taking out the trash to
hugs and kisses assures a wife that her
husband cares for her. This should be
natural for you because working for
those you love is one of your love
languages.
#3: I also need to hear you say that
love me – Everyday:
Telling your wife that you love her
before, during, or after sex doesn’t
count! Make “I love you” part of your
daily language to her.
#4: I hate that I always have to initiate
conversation:
Make it a point to talk to your wife
about your day and hers. It may be
difficult but it’s a part of creating a
team. Why is it so tough for men to
communicate? A great deal of research
has been done of this subject with
some interesting results…
#5: I love romance:
Guys, it’s no good if the only time you
are affectionate is when you want sex!
We need to hold hands, hug, kiss, etc.
on a regular basis or we feel neglected.
This is not groping, mind you! This is a
soft caress, a warm embrace and kiss
on the cheek. A UCLA study found that
women need 8-10 meaningful touches
every day. In fact, 80% of a woman’s
daily need is for nonsexual touching. So
keep those XOXO’s coming!
#6: I love sex – I just need romance
first:
A woman needs to have an emotional
connection with you in order to have
great sex. Men are like microwave
ovens and women are like crock pots.
So do some slow roasting, boys!
#7: I need to be treated like your
partner:
We are conquering life together. We
are a team. We need to be equal in
decision making, budgeting, parenting,
etc. Don’t make me feel inferior, treat
me like your slave or make me parent
you like your mother did. I need a
husband, not a son.
#8: You need you to share your
emotions with me:
It’s not enough to bring home a
paycheck. While that helps keep your
wife feeling secure, women need your
emotional support, as well. Help out in
every way you can from changing
diapers and midnight feedings (if you
have kids) to equally dividing
household chores keeps us united.
Please say good-bye to your
antiquated ideas of “women’s work”
and be willing to help with everything.
#9: I need you to listen and not always
offer a solution:
Women offer sympathy, men offer
solutions. This is natural. However,
women need men to listen to them
and not necessarily give advice. I know
it’s hard to nod and be supportive
while she goes on about her day, but
the fact is, your woman will go to the
ends of the earth to love you when you
truly listen to her and acknowledge her
needs. Nod. Get involved. Look her in
the eye. Actively listen to what she
says and provide nonverbal feedback.
Be truly interested in what she is
saying without worrying about what
you’re going to say next. Then, watch
what happens as your woman opens
up more and more to you.
#10: I need you to be generous with
your money:
Don’t be a tightwad! A woman has a
deep need for security and your
generosity goes a long way in letting
her know that you are there to take
care of her. Allow the marriage to be a
true partnership. This includes the
money.

Jobs/VacanciesReasons You Have Not Been Getting The Jobs You Applied For by akannium(op): 3:22pm On Aug 28, 2012
the points that are going to be highlighted here are vital points in which anyone that applies them would secure his/her dream job. As graduates many of us think we have graduated with a good grade i.e a 2nd class upper. So we think we would automatically get the job. We must know that a first-class in school does not translate to a first class knowledge about securing a job. Havev't you seen people that were 'smart alecs' in school but don't eventually get their dream jobs? So i guess you asking what the solution is to this nagging problem? Well the solution lies in the tests we do before getting the job. What am i sayin? I mean it starts from the day you heard about the vacancy. The way you write your CV matters. A good CV need not be written based on your discretion but on the standard format. Secondly, you write an aptitude test. Many people think the questions that would be asked can't exceed '1+1 and singular and plural'. They have forgotten thousands of people are coming for the same exam, so the examiner has to step up his game by asking you questions that have to do with how academically sound you are. The third point is the skill test. This is where you are asked questions relating to your field of study. Also you could be asked questions about the nature of the job you are seeking. Google search engine could help with some of this. Lastly, the oral test i.e interview. As simple as it sounds, it could eliminate the interviewee, so i suggest you read books on passing interviews. I wish you all the best.
