you and as you have appreciated Him in this, GREATER things are still coming your way.

You made me remember what was thought at our last Home Fellowship, You Can Count on God. Do you attend any Daystar Cell meeting? Always try and ooo

For other applicants, note the followings:

There is no situation that God cannot wade into. God is FOREVER faithful, so whatever he has said concerning you, it shall come to PASS!

Do you know what God is saying concerning your situation? If you don't, search His Word
and you will hold Him to ransom by His word because He honours His Word more than His Name

Have you read, Num. 23:19 before? You need to do so NOW. God is NEVER a liar

lastly, God knows the right time for us. He makes ALL things beautiful in His time Ecc.3:11
So wait faithfully for your own time

Sorry, I didn't forget this is not a religion thread but na condition cause am. I am sure
this thread will help someone to hold one because the vision is yet for an appointed
time.

Your own season of testimony is coming.

This is another useful Interview tips for all

Have you recently landed a job interview, from one of the job listings that you applied to? If you have, when is your interview scheduled? If your interview is scheduled to take place in a few days or even in a few hours, are you prepared for it? What you may not know is that most job applicants aren’t. To make sure that you are prepared for your interview, you will want to continue reading on.

When it comes to hiring an applicant, there are many interviewers who do place a large focus on personal appearance. This focus on personal appearance doesn’t just focus on beauty, but hygiene as well. Employers want to hire workers who will give their business a good public perception. That is why it is important that you give that good perception, especially in an interview. When attending a job interview, you will want to make sure that you are professionally dressed, either in a pant suit or a dress. Make sure that your hair is well kept as well. In fact, you may want to think about buying a new outfit or getting your hair done before your interview is scheduled to take place.

Before your interview, you may also want to make a trip to the store to purchase some needed supplies, if you don’t already own them. These supplies may include a notebook, writing utensils, and a thank you note. As for the notebook and a writing utensil, you may want to take notes during your interview. If you applied to more than one job listing, you may have multiple interviews scheduled. Taking notes during your interviews will help you keep all of them straight. Also, taking notes during a job interview makes you look as if you are more interested in the job. It is also shows a side of you that says “I am professional and always prepared.”

As for the thank you note, which was mentioned above, you will want to send a thank you note to your interviewer. A thank you note may also help to create a good, positive impression of yourself. With thank you notes, many have intentions of sending them, but not everyone ends up doing so. Having a standard thank you note already filled out and ready to go is ideal. In fact, you may also want to drop it off at the post off right after your interview has been completed. Of course, make sure that you don’t drop it off beforehand. Should the mail be delivered early or your interview needs to be rescheduled, you may be embarrassed with the early delivery of a thank you note, for an interview that never even occurred yet.

As you likely already know, job interviews are where hiring employers are able to learn as much as they can about you. This is often done by asking a series of questions. The questions that you are asked during a job interview will tend to vary, but most are likely focused around your goals and your work ethics. For instance, you may be asked to describe you strengths and your weaknesses, your goals in life, your desire to move up the corporate ladder and such. Even if these questions are expected to be asked, it can be nerve-wracking when they are actually asked. That is why you may want to do a number of practice interviews. These practice interviews work best with another person, like a family member or a friend, but you can also do them by yourself, like in front of a mirror. Practicing your responses before a job interview is one of the best ways to make sure that your answers come out exactly the way that you wanted them to.

The above mentioned preparation tips are just a few of the many that you may find useful, when it comes to preparing for a job interview. If you are hoping to schedule multiple interviews, you may want to invest in resource guides that focus on successfully mastering the interview process, as that interview process is often the deciding factor in whether or not you get hired.

Preparing For Job Interviews

I just made a post on my blog titled, How to Leave Your Dead-End Job. If you care to read the full post, you can click on the link, but below are the important facts you need to know if you are in a job that you are not satisfied with and you wish to get out FAST:

1) Make It Known
Learn about it. Do research. Talk to people. Do informational interviews. Volunteer. Be a trainee. Find ways to educate yourself. Go to school. Hire a trainer. Shine some light on the scary ignorance, and it’s no big deal. If you’re drawn to it, you probably have a knack.

2) Make Up Your Mind

Let the whole world know you have something better to offer. Do not stay too long in that rut for any sake. Make up your mind and start doing what you have to do.

3) Try It On A Small Scale
Part-time or pilot projects work well particularly if you’re thinking of venturing out on your own. The hours are long when you don’t give up your day job but if you’re pursuing your passion you generally can find the energy.

This is to wish you a blissful and fun-filled career

sammyjl:
I am an administrator at our ruling party's headquarters in one of the departments. No i am not proud of the job because i am underemployed, but it helps pay the bills.

Then what are you waiting for there? Why not leave and do something you will be proud of?

Check this post out for all those not enjoying what they are doing:

How to Leave Your Dead-End Job


I am sure you will learn a lot of lessons there.

What do I do?

A Web Consultant, Trainer, Writer and Author.

Am I Proud of my career? 100%

Does every dream have spiritual connotation? I don't think so.

What predominates our mind so many times always show up in what we
dream about.

So @ poster, change your thinking, change your life.

Job security?

Is there any word like that? And is it for real? To me that word died
several years ago. I am not sure there is any company that offers
that, the truth is that anything can happen at anytime.

shacky, look within yourself, what career path have you laid for yourself?
Will any of the two companies offer you that inner peace? Choose the one
you will really enjoy and have a life doing.

Money? It shouldn't be a factor because you are going to work for years, if
you choose to, and you will make so much money in return. it is not really
about the starting salary, it is where you want to go and what you want
to achieve.

Remember to ask for God's guidance, that is the KOKO!

All the best.

There is always hope for the living.

And I believe so much in the way we think. If you believe with your 3rd Class you have
something to offer the society, you will definitely find something doing, but if you think it
is an hopeless situation, then nobody can help you my friend.

So gird your loins and face the hope with HOPE. That alone will bring you opportunities

So months back, there was a discussion here on why people don't get employed
and I was part of the contributors then. I wish I could see the thread once again.
There is something that touched me and that is the fact that most people that
attends Job Interviews don't know the right way to go about it.

The conclusion then is that most people are UNEMPLOYABLE!

Well, that is a problem but there must be a solution to that. Do you know the rules
of Job Interviews? Read the article below and you will see something you are
expected to do and not to do

Dos and Don'ts of Job Interviews

Are you in the process of trying to get a new job? If you have already applied for a few jobs, there is a good chance that you may end up having an interview scheduled soon, if you don’t already have one arranged. As you likely already know, a job interview is often the deciding factor in whether or not you get hired. That is why it is important that your interviews go off without a hitch. To ensure that they do, you may want to familiarize yourself with the most common job interview dos and don’ts, some of which are outlined below.

One thing that you will want to do is prepare for your interview. There are too many individuals who mistakenly believe that all interviews are the same. This is actually something that you do not want to do. Yes, many interviews are similar in nature, but they are not all the same. In all honesty, it depends on the job that you are being interviewed for and the employer in question. Instead of assuming that your job interview will be just like the last one, you are advised to expect something different, to help keep you on your toes.

Another thing that you will want to do is practice for your interview. As it was previously mentioned, many job interviews are similar in nature, despite being a little bit different. They are often similar based on some of the basic questions that are asked. For instance, some of those questions may be centered on your professional goals, your need to succeed, and so on. No matter how prepared you are for these questions, they can be difficult to answer in the moment. That is why you do want to prepare for your interview by doing a few practice runs, preferably with a friend or a relative.

As stated above, during the interview process, you will be asked a number of questions. These questions are what enables an employer to gain insight into you, your life, and your work habits. When responding to questions that you are asked or even when just making conversation, it is advised that you keep everything professional in nature. [/b]What you do not want to do is divulge too much information about your personal life. For instance, employers do not need to know how old you are or if you have any children. Also, do not badmouth any of your previous employers or bosses, as this will tend to make you look bad yourself.

When going for a job interview, [b]it is important that you are properly dressed. What you do not want to do is wear jeans, sweatpants, or clothing that is too revealing. To increase your chances of getting a job, you want to look professional for your job interview. This not only includes your clothing, but your appearance as well. If you need to put on makeup or get a hair cut, go ahead and do so. When looking to hire a new employee, many employers want someone who can represent the company in a positive matter. That is why it is important that you do place at least a little bit of focus on your appearance.

Since the interview process is what is often the deciding factor in whether or not you are hired, you will want to make sure that your interview is one that is memorable, and in a good way. To do that, you will want to keep the above mentioned job interview do’s and don’ts in mind.

Great post man.

I want to ask for permission to post on my blog at http://www.careerboostingtips.com
I believe it will be useful to my readers.

I will include your advert for Free report there

Waiting to hear from you.

Keep up the GREAT work.

It is better he owns up fast because if he doesn't someone will find out and that may
be disastrous. Just as suggested earlier, state your willingness to learn more about
Engineering.

I think your honesty will be rewarded and you would have shown yourself to be a man of
integrity. Pray for wisdom to do it right

I left my email address here sometimes back and regreted that decision.

Since then I have been regularly patronised by Abacha and Obasanjo's
families.

I have to abandon that email addy coz of the number of spam mails I get

I just finish reading the same thing on Soccernet and came around to see if it was mentioned here. It is trully some drunken men that composed that list. I learnt it is coming out as a book

Who go buy this kind of book?

The best team in the world according to the Association of Football Statisticians*

• GK - Peter Schmeichel

• LB - Roberto Carlos
• CB - Lothar Matthaus
• CB - Franz Beckenbauer
• RB - Cafu

• LM - Johan Cruyff
• CM - Zinedine Zidane
• CM - Michel Platini
• RM - Luis Figo

• ST - Ronaldo
• ST - Pele

No Diego in the first eleven?

This is the craziest of all the world's best footballers I have ever seen o.

Read more at the link below, the list really got a very good bashing

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=479862&root=england&cc=3888&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos1

On contract basis, I don't know. But if you are seeking employment, you will definitely
be in hot demand here. If it is starting on your own too, you can be consulting for several organisations.

Since you have all the necessary certifications, you stand a good chance of succeeding in
whatever you choose. Patience may be required in any of the path especially if you are
going the business way. With creativity on your path, you can succeed anyway

eh ya dayo,

I have always thought Leeds won the first Prem o.

Maybe because I was obsessed with the Great Cantona then

But no matter what, Arsenal no be midtable team sha

What won't I hear/read on NL

America no go moon? Na wa o. Why did those theorists wait this long to
disprove that claim?

That rocket that launched that very day, where did it go to? Hollywood or
inside white house or na for one of America's allies dem go hide? Hmm na wa o

Good Lord save us o

Thanks Viera for the post.

Dayo, FYI, b4 the Premiership came into being, it was called the FA League or something. That is what I am refering to and as you can see from Viera's post, Arsenal was the last team to win that league before the Premiership era

Get your facts straight man. The gooners weren't a mid table team in your own estimation.

somze,

are we the same as the liverlesspools? Abeg talk something jare.

tkb, na wa o. I pray it is not true sha.

tkb,

Can you post links to those posts of yours? I haven't heard anything about Sagnol
coming to OT. Sag waiting? we don't need a sagged leg o. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE! Aloku
Bayern? for where?

lordi, I am not sure that game can end in a goaless o. It is either 1-1 or a feast of goals.

10 years ago if I am correct is 1997. Arsenal a mid-table team?

My guy 15 years ago was 1992 if I am correct, Arsenal wasn't a mid-table team then as well.
The days of that fabulous 4: Tony Adams, Winterburn, Nixon and Keown. I remember those
glorious days of Ian Wright and Co and I beg to disagree that the Gooners were midtable
o. If my memory serves me right, they won the last League before the Premiership.

How are they a mid-table team?

tkb, those matches weren't live but they were still something worth looking forward to.

Thanks for bringing back memories.

@tbk,

I learnt the City Goal keeper got a bow leg, so it was easy for those balls to enter
his kolo

The battle of emirates will definitely be tough o. I hope all our guys will be
ready sha. Now we should be talking about how to gun those gooners down
right in their own back yard.

So you mean Ramos will come and win the Premiership or what?

Jol tried and the board should have been patient with him. We all know
Spurs does not belong to the position they were in and will definitely
rise up. Why sack a man that has brought turned around the fortune
of the club and turn them a force to reckon with in the EPL?

Let's see what Ramos will do anyway. To me, the moral of the team is
down and it takes much more than sacking the coach to solve the problem.

sky,

are you planning to set up your own biz or employment?

Which ever way, there is something for you here

You are very late man. You are promoting a closed offer.

Did you get wind of this now? The offer was to get people to know
about Russell's latest Launch, 12 Months Millionaire, which a lot of
people have purchased.

So no need wasting effort on this, you only build list for Russel and you
get nothing in return.

Maybe you should go and get the 12MM and study yourself

GREAT GAME GOONERS!

How I wish that goal never came. But it did anyway and you guys are smoking on all
cylinders now but beware, somebody is coming to town pretty soon and the whole
scenario will definitely start changing from next saturday

Viera, what is giving you confidence? Have you forgotten we are now on a run of
4 goals? It may continue at the Emirates o o o. Don't bet against that man

Meanwhile before the bubble bursts, ENJOY YA SELF!

Can you expatiate more on this please.

ocho,

Rockets? For where? For now, there is only one team in texas o and that is
the Mavs. Take it or leave it

I just hope we improve on last season's performance this time around. Did we get
any new player? I have not being in touch for a while.

GO MAVS! THIS IS YOUR TIME TO GET THE RING!

True talk!
