Most ibo legitimate businessmen were drug dealers and contraband importers who did not get caught!

Are you looking for the most clueless and directionless governor in Africa? Do not go far! For we have Yahya Bello in Nigeria, who was given a governor's seat for free, yet chose to be a clown and a disappointment to his people.

This is a question I have been asking myself for a very long time and yet I have failed to really find an answer to it. so I ask you who really knows this God and who reads his book, DOES GOD REALLY ANSWER PRAYERS? if Yes, How Does one pray to him for him to really answer. Countless Times have I prayed and it just seems they fall on deaf ears.

I want to know the secret if there's any

BlueBrothers:
I’m sure many job seekers have heard some of these things below. They, however, bear repeating as I’ve recently had to do some hiring again and I still see too many people do these.


So please don’t:

1. Forward CV’s from previously forwarded emails – Shows you’re too lazy and unobservant. How can your email contain forwarded info of previous applications? Be wise, delete it. While you’re at it, make sure to write an accompanying email and not just forward a blank email.

2. Forget to include a cover letter – Research the company and be as specific as possible in your letter. It shows you’re not lazy like the average person out there is. It also helps you highlight how your unique skills and experience will help the employer. Again, make sure the email containing your CV is not empty, or says something dumb like, ‘see attached’. If you’re too busy to write something to a potential employer, then the employer will be too busy to look at your CV.

3. Use comic sans – We’re not in kindergarten, use a serious font. This doesn’t apply of course if you’re applying to become a clown or to work in a comic shop or kids related company.

4. Scan and email CV as an attachment – I thought everyone had learned this but I still receive CVs like this. I don’t even read, just click delete straight. The standard is PDF format created from a word document. Document should be easily identified. Document title should include your name and job position applied for. e.g ‘john.bull.cv.account.officer.pdf’

5. Ignore linked in – We’re in the technology age so I check all my applicants’ linked in profile automatically using a plugin in my inbox. If you have a killer profile with shared connections with me, you’re getting an interview. If you don’t, well you’d have to impress me somewhere else. Linked in is such a low hanging fruit, use it. Google how to create a killer linked in profile, it’s not that hard! First thing is a good picture.

6. List generic skills – Everyone is a team player, fast learner, has good interpersonal skills etc. What did you do to demonstrate a trait? That’s what employers are interested in.

Example:

‘I have good planning skills’ – poor.

‘I planned an event for 1000 people with a tight budget that achieved a 90% satisfaction rate in a post-event survey’ – better.

Always try to put figures to your achievements. Tell me, ‘I led a new marketing initiative that raised sales by 100%’, I want to talk to you yesterday!

7. Use a photo – Unless you’re working in the media this is generally a bad idea. If you must use a photo, ensure it’s professionally taken against a plain background.

8. Include Interests and hobbies – Take this section out. Leave it in only if it’s spectacular. That is something like you were a champion dancer or a published author, otherwise, nobody cares about it. Everyone likes to read, dance and meet new people. Why should that make anyone want to hire you?

9. Demonstrate inexperience – Is your CV too sparse? go and find something to do to fill it up. If you’re approaching 30 and only have a few lines in your CV, sorry it will end up in the trash. 20-year-olds now are becoming billionaires so go out and get some experience somehow and somewhere. Being unproductive in your own time signals to the employer that you will be unproductive on his time. Even if it’s farming you have to go do, do it and put it in your CV, there is dignity in every kind of labor.

The trick to a killer CV when you’re inexperienced is to create a model CV with all the experiences and skills employees want. It would be a lie at first, but make it a goal to convert every single lie to a truth. You will look back in a few years time and realize you have become an amazing person. You don’t need a job to do this. Just initiative and a hard working mentality.

Hiring is risky. reduce the risk by letting the potential employer know that the job he’s about to give you will be easy for you to do because you’ve demonstrated it in the past.

yeah I know that most of hia net worth is in stocks and various securities but if you are into investments u should know that securities are as good as liquid cash. furthermore most of those companies as have huge cash reserves, for example apple is said to have over 200 billion dollars in cash reserve, check link below: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/05/01/apples-cash-reserves-swell-250bn/

90 billion dollars bro not 90 billion naira, the difference between them is as clear as daylight. the Nigerian foreign reserve is not even up to 90 billion dollars

Bill Gates was a fool to lose this position by giving his fortune to charity.


Was it charity that made him rich?

@Op many people you put up there are not COMPUTER SCIENTISTS in my opinion.

Zuckerberg an Elon Musk are programmers and entreprenueur.

You forgot Alan Turing, Bjarne Stroustup, Charles Babbage, Ada Byron, Noam Chomsky e.t.c

Something dey your head.

This list is more like computer science entrepreneurs than computer scientists
