I have missed a lot, I don't know where to start although it wasn't intentionally. All that teena said about HND working in a bank I believe that is absolute truth. Discrimination, Humilation if you are not careful. infact it is only God will save Some HND Holders in this Country. Experience have thought me a great teacher.

The Job had been so challenaging to me as this is my first time of working in a corporate environment, but thank God for His grace and this forum. God will see us thru.

Bunmi you are welcome to the forum. Your post is a very nice one but just as Mypeace and Ojurere said, Sec/PA should not wait only for the organization to train them, one has to take up personal program once the person notice his/her weakness. Looking up for more contribution from you. once more welcome.

@Loretta,

I believe with what MyPeace said. It is now left for you to examin yourself, if what she said is true pls there is a need for change as it might be affecting your job performance one way or other while you may not notice it, because after seeing your responsibilities, I wonder why you will be ask such question it means that something is wrong someway.

To all this my ID chinwembaeto@yahoo.com.

@MyPeace very interesting to here that the forum had made someone to be glad. My kudos to you. Tnks very much keep the fire burning.

@Ojurere you just speak mind. well done.

To all I think its the right time for us to find a means of meeting face to face. What do you suggest?

I mean it wasn't so serious, that to say she did personalized connection.

I mean it wasn't so serious, that to say she did personalized connection.

@Aladunni, Thks very much

@MyPeace, Thks very much, I think she did personlized connection because the interview was so serious. I promise to inform whenever there is opening for permanent staff. The job is interest for now.

To everybody thanks. And let us keep on praying for one another especially those that are still looking for job that God will provided for them.

Please join me to thank God, at last I got the offer through that Vinna's Post, I start work on Monday.

@MyPeace

@teena

You can do it this way:-
To Calculate the average of numbers in a contiguous row or column
Click a cell below or to the right of the numbers for which you want to find the average.
Click the arrow next to AutoSum on the Standard toolbar , and then click Average and press ENTER.
Or
You select the numbers, click on the function tool bar and specifi your action. eg
=Average(B2:B8) enter

Do the same for Pecentage.

@teena

Check this but if it is not okay then let me have your Id so that I can forward some tutorials to your box.


Average Function

There are many functions built into many spreadsheets. One of the first ones that we are going to discuss is the Average function. The average function finds the average of the specified data. (Simplifies adding all of the indicated cells together and dividing by the total number of cells.) The syntax is as follows.
• =Average (first value, second value, etc.)
Text fields and blank entries are not included in the calculations of the Average Function.

Let's use the table here for the discussion that follows:
We will look at several different specific examples that show how the average function can be used! A
1 25
2 50
3 75
4 100
5


Example Cells to average Answer
=average (A1:A4) A1, A2, A3, A4 62.5
=average (A1:A4, 300) A1, A2, A3, A4 and 300 110
=average (A1:A5) A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 62.5
=average (A1:A2, A4) A1, A2, A4 58.33

You have heard all the advices given to you, but I will ask you what is your mind telling you to do?
Do you want to sleep with him to gain your job? If yes I want you to look at it this way. If this man has any dread disease that he wants to transfer to you will you because of Job accept your death warranty?

Please don't give heed to devils request that job is not yours, am saying from experience just seek the face of God if you are not a born again but if you are hold on for him he will surprise you.

Well, you have heard it all. Make good use of the opportunity which God has given to you. There are thousands of graduates outside there who is looking for such opportunity. Be wise! I advice just like others go for Part-time. God will see you thru.

Thank God for answering u're prayer but do 4get Him when enjoyment will come, for He still have alot for u. Hold on to him. He will do more.

@Vinna

Thanks for u're Post. May God help those that are interested just like me.
