Thank u very much, I will look into it.

You're welcome.

I suggest you follow threads where some well meaning Nairalanders are offering free theoretical explanations (tutorials) on NL. I know about three but they are into different skills.

One for production of household items
Another for fashion design
The third for rearing of snakes

I enjoy the lessons I learn there. You can do so too as you combine it with offline training.

Cheers!

Tried your line today, it was switched off.
I was with someone you would have loved to meet

invinzible1:
Lol Amy. No worries u will get some

I have been thinking about those snails since I set my eyes on them earlier today

I want to book it in advance and I'm serious about this booking. 4 months from now, those AA specie of yours will be 6 months old. I want them then

That means, you'll be selling them to me in the month of March. Hopefully, it will be my blood tonic for Easter next year. Please, keep those ones for me. I'll come for them then.

Thanks
And stop fighting

Hi BellaLuce,

Is it possible we talk here?
I think I've severally tried reaching you but haven't recorded any success.

If it won't be too much of a bother and if it's nothing personal, strike a conversation here with me please.

Thank you.

Ferdyboss:
Is there a place to go?

Lol. Na so you wan do am?

Ferdyboss:
Oya na...pick up your mat

I'm not going again!

marvis08:
If d price is OK, i m willing to pay.

I sincerely apologize for the delay in responding sooner.

I was recently informed of a proposed boot camp scheduled to hold in December around 7-9 somewhere at Herbert Macaulay way, Yaba. It's a skills acquisition programme for the skills you mentioned and I think for small chops also.

You can get more information on their website; www.elearn.ng or so. You can get their contact information on the site too if you want to put a call through.

I hope this helps.

marvis08:

Hi Ferdyboss,

I see you plan on attending the 2016 edition of 'The Experience', I'm planning to too. Can I tag along?

The date though, forgotten it.

And happy birthday to your nephew. Bigger him I pray!

AnalyticEngine:
Yes I thought of wiping it off my CV but then, I am an engineering graduate. If for instance I am asked why I intend to work in the bank based on my qualification...this is easy. But a likely follow up question could be if I've had any finance related experience. If I say no, it might be disastrous up front should they do some digging. It will be an added dilemma if I'm asked why I didn't include such profound experience on my CV if somehow the cat finds its way out of the bag. But if I say yes, the conundrum will more than likely surface. I'm probably over-analysing but do u still think it is best I wipe it off my CV? I have two sets of Cvs though. One with the big-four experience and the other without it

Secondly @bolded, I am not a very good liar. I wish I was. For now, I'm just looking for a mechanism that can pad the truth a lil bit. U need to see how I always look whenever my premeditated stories fall apart.

Charles Babbage my friend
I am in a fix now, all thanks to you

I really don't know if this new coy will go all out digging but if you have substantial support from the answers that have been provided so far to you then leave the experience on your CV (It's the kiwi polish).

I hope this financial institution won't be threatened when they see your CV. Most of these smaller companies have 'inferiority' complex. Lol. They feel if you've been 'there', there's the likelihood you will elope if a bigger offer elsewhere call.

Think it over and make the best decision. It will end in a testimony thread
All the best in your interview.

AnalyticEngine, truth is, I can relate to this situation you have at hand. This is one of those times we have to tell a little 'fine' lie to get a job.

The question now should be why do you prefer this company and role you are about to be interviewed for to the one you previously had and resigned from?

It may be because you reevaluated your career goals or that your full potentials weren't being utilized but this won't make so much sense considering you didn't even spend up to 6 months there which is implicating and may likely cause you to come off as a brash candidate before the interviewer.

On the flip side, what if you take it off your CV?
Wouldn't that save you the stress of having to defend a lie seeing that you're coming from a financial institution - a big one at that to another.

I should have done same myself if I had known because in my last interview, I was told that I'm overqualified at the last stage of the recruitment process by the director of the company .

That was annoying.

Karleone I'm about to sell your plot of land o
What have you got to say?

Oh Wow! Handsome guys today
Who would have thought!?

wroskian:
Okay, you're forgiven. But, did you offend me? I don't think so.

Lol. I seek forgiveness for me from me joor

You are welcome.
About scoring yourself, I think it is normal. You do something which others see as fantastic and you will be like wetin I do sef? Scoring yourself low might just be what will push you beyond your limits, though overdoing could also be counterproductive.

You're right. The reason I don't use manuscripts is because I tear them as quickly as I scribble anything down. So what I do now is, if I really want something written, I type it directly and edit later whenever I feel like. So far it's working out well that way.

I've read works of people I admire and tag 'accomplished' complain about how not-so-fanstastic they think they write and I go "what!? You're great already! What are you saying? Stop sabotaging yourself!' But I do exactly the same thing to me

Publication covers diverse areas- career, leadership, fashion, style, relationship, spirituality (it's a christian magazine) etc. Have you heard of Shalomtruths magazine?

Oh! Ok. It's a cool magazine but I don't think I've ever seen or read it. I can drop something someday. I hope you guys will receive it and actually publish. I had a bad experience in the past *sad*

I noticed you do more of career stuffs, but you might be interested in other areas I don't know about.

I might. You never can tell.

wroskian:
If you don't take it easy, who will?

Lol. I know.
Forgive me.

You write so well, would you like to write for a quarterly publication? No pay is involved o...but anything is possible tho

Oh thanks for the compliment.
Honestly in my eyes I don't think I write so well. It's so hard for me to score myself high on a scorecard. I guess that's me being hard on my work by calling it 'play'.

What subjects does the publication cover?
You must have noticed I touch more on certain topics and thrive best there.

Very well said Wroskian.
You have successfully broken down and simplified this social and educational problem to the barest minimum. I didn't think I will be understood

Thanks for moving from shock to delight.

More to come later...

wroskian:
Anyone with a chill pill in the house? Help is needed asap

Lol.
No wroski, check the other drugstore

The thing is, for some people, you know where they are headed and because you won't like the end, you ball out fast.

I'll still do with some help though
It's still November, anything from you is welcome

Business Unusual

What you're about to read is a dark secret. A secret I've kept to myself for over 15 years. I've been trapped in it. My soul bleeds. My eyes cry. My mouth screams. I shouldn't do this because after now like all other rape victims - past and present, I know I'll be discriminated against. I'm certain that my friends will not want to associate with me anymore. My family will hear of it from Miss O. Gyny, my friend. The society already made it clear that I brought this upon myself. I admit it's all my fault!

Unlike others, I wasn't raped at night. I wasn't raped along a lonely bushy path. I wasn't pushed to the ground by a villain. I had none of that. My case is different. I was raped in my classroom at the age of 10 by my Religious knowledge teacher.

When I first gained admission into Secondary school, I had the option of either going to a Federal Government College or a University Secondary school. My parents made the decision for me because they wanted me to go to school from home. The University secondary school on its own is a hot cake. Entrance examination into it as I still clearly remember was a really big deal. Parents and Guardians brought their wards in flashy cars. The campus looked like it was a Convocation ceremony being celebrated. I remember the stern warning my dad gave me before I went in for the exam, it was clear. "Only one thing is expected of you my little girl, and that is to score above average!".

I won't bore you with the details of the merriment that took place at my house when the admission list came out. My dad after checking the list, came home and said " You are the true daughter of your father!". I am. My mother concurred. My siblings nodded in unison. That day, we ate rice and chicken at home. And it wasn't a Sunday!

In September of that year, I started J.S.S 1. I was in class A since I was among the first 50 to have made the merit list. I was one of the youngest in my class though but I made friends quick and blended in very smoothly. Our teachers were good. I mean very good. In fact, I hear now that some of them are lecturers in the University. But there was a bad egg amongst them. The teacher who filled my head with nonsense. Fela Kuti foreknew that I will have such a one when he composed the song ' Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense'.

'It's your period now Sir. Going by the timetable we have Religious Knowledge class in JSS 1A'.

'My period? *Laughs*. Do I now see period like girls?'

This is his typical kind of joke. Now that I think of the joke assault, I think most of his teachings are what we now call 'Sex Education'. His first home work question was for us to go home and ask our parents to tell us how they gave birth to us. That day my parents avoided me like a plague. . And like you know, I wasn't told. My teacher who was supposed to be answering questions like ' who created the creator? , was busy raping my mind through the violation of my privacy and consent. Which brings me to the question of who taught the first man and woman sex education Who taught and is still teaching the goats, dogs, chicken and all other animals on this planet how to procreate?

Why is there so much emphasis today on Sex education rather than Sexuality education?

Just last week, Aunty Preye, my neighbor who has a 6 year old daughter was adviced to start teaching her daughter Sex education so that according to her adviser 'She will learn it from you and not from anyone else'. But again why teach something that needs not be taught? Teach both the boy and girl child how to take care of their body. Teach them about their privates. Teach them about gender roles and differences between she and he. Teach them the clinical terms of every part of their body. Instead of being tagged 'current' for teaching them the details of how they were born, leave their minds to retain all the innocence it can hold.

I was mind raped by one. But I can tell that children born in this day and age will be gang raped if nothing is done. The media is intrusive. Self acclaimed writers are publishing books. The internet is awash with every form of half baked content you can think of being shoved down the throats of inquisitive minds. As for me, I have been referred to a General Hospital due to insanity which is as a result of the rape years ago. My mind is broken. My soul hurts. My brain bleeds. What would have been a source of identity and joy has turned out to be a corrupt pervasion.

I will end here.

Please tell Dr. John Thomas that I need a cure. Find cure for me please. A brain cleanser may work just fine.

raylord:
Pls can u give a litle discription about the sales executive job.
I have a friend who work there. I just want to know about d job b4 I call him

Oh Sure!
They are recruiting Sales Executives for two of their clients. A bank and an insurance company. If successful at the interview, you'll do the necessary documentation and then eventual posting to a nearest branch where you'll start work.

As expected of every marketer, you'll be given targets to meet monthly and there is a basic pay not forgetting the commission aspect if you meet and/or exceed the target.

If this sounds like what you're interested in doing, give your friend a call or you can walk in between 10-2 on any weekday pretending to have been invited (gatecrash).

Whichever suits you, go ahead with.
All the best.

Not forgetting that Terms & Conditions apply

kaboninc:
Every employee is a marketer. I am a marketer.
