Akintundexxy: My fellow readers,which book would you suggest for me to read,that will positively influence my life and build me socially enough to be a master and a wisdom island? I'm a student.
For me, the best career book I have read and will recommend to anyone is : "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal NewPort.
The book is very unique in various ways and I will recommend it to anyone who aspires to get a high paying job that they will also enjoy
It tears down the worn out myth of plain 'follow your passion' which is a worn out platitude.
First, it explain with proven scientific research and records why the advice of 'follow your passion is a dangerous advice'. This may not be a popular ideology, but the insight of this research presentation alone is worth all the money you will pay for the book. It leads you to the conclusion that you should do what Steve Jobs did, rather than do what he said on the follow your passion hypothesis.
It introduces another concept called 'the craftsman mindset' which is a superior mindset for getting the job you love, and then it teaches you how to become a true craftsman.
It examines the traits of a job that you enjoy! What makes a job enjoyable? Have you ever pondered the answer to that question? The answer to that alone is worth more than any amount you spend on getting the book!
Cal Newport explains how to develop yourself as an expert craftsman, and then he explains how to cash-in or transact that skill of a craftsman into the job you love!
Several real life case studies and interviews are presented and your understanding about getting a dream job can never be the same after reading this book.
If you have read it before, feel free to share your experience!
Attacking my person without understanding my point is very crude of you!
Now, go back and read my comment again.
I queried the language and not the CORRECTNESS of askng to confirm availability.
I know that an interview invite can request candidates to confirm availability by mail or phone call, it can also ask them to call for directions or any inquiry. My problem is the language of this one
Abi you no enter English class?
SmartPolician: If you are not sure of something, allow others to comment. Your assertion is very wrong.
An applicant can call or email someone to confirm his/her availability for an interview.
Rich4god: @OP... If this video is eyewitness video of the plane crash that killed COAS, then it was actually two planes that collided and mayb those men the villagers spotted coming down with a parachute mayb from the other plan.
In the video, the villagers said two planes collided and they had to bring the wreckage of the other to this crash site. Probably, the second plane is a small plane that allowed it's pilot to eject with a parachute.
Answer that question for yourself and you'll be free!
PS:It is not as simple as it sounds
Goodness34: it hurts and feel very bad to be turned down after so many interviews.
I feel like I offended the gods, I feel low bad and it's making me lose confidence.
business is my line of work that I will prosper with but you know getting the capital is not easy unless you get a job and work for few years. but this rejection is too much it's giving me depression. how do you deal with it ?
3. Everry coin has a head and a tail. By simply dividing the coins into 2, you have equal number of heads and tails!
4. Simply label the box you opened correctly. Once you've done that, exchange the label on the other boxes since none of the boxes were labeled correctly!
Kenoxman: All These stress and embarrassment on top 25k that wouldn't carry u for 3 weeks? And to even think it's a temporary engagement. Pls take my advice; whenever u are looking for a job,never be broke. Have a small biz or skill that fetches u income no matter how small. That way u are more confident and stand a better chance at negotiation with these exploiters that call themselves employers. You don't fall for anything cos u are not desperate and u give them terms and conditions instead of vice versa. All u need do is to develop urself and be highly resourceful and watch them bend to ur whim. Never been to an interview in corporate dressing. All I do is dress smart. Do any how and I tender my resignation and move on. Anyway, I had to give up on a salaried job cos of issue of TIME. Instead of gettin stucked in a modern day slavery in the name of job, I rather use it to pursue a number of legitimate hustle. Rest,flex and still make far more money while keeping my sanity. Never be broke while searching for a job!
