Dear Friend,

There is nothing wrong with your life, you are in your growing phase, everything you want or pray for will come, #Believe . Stop wishing for people's life, every human have their struggle, no one lives without challenges.

We all have our moments of sadness, tears, bitterness, fear and depression. Don't wait for a pity party, people are busy with their lives make yours better.

Life is good, depends on what you want to make out of it. Sometimes you feel small, like you are nothing, you stumble and fall, but you must learn how to walk from starting to crawl.

To be clueless about life with no direction is normal, every successful person have gone through that stage in life, but what matter most is if you want to be on a spot for the rest of your life. Clock is moving, move with it; understand that moving is not progress, progress is when you achieve results from moving.

Be positive, be prospective, be productive and be progressive. You can not figure life all at once, you have to grow, learn, coexist and adapt. Sleepless nights without results is useless, don't put yourself in that position where your mind battles over power you.

@devide470 how far

You are not the right fit

Sometimes it might seem like you are the perfect match for a role. While there is such a thing as aiming too high, you will save yourself the trouble by understanding what exactly the employer is looking for in terms of skills and experience. For example, one will appear to be cocky to apply for a Chief Finance Officer’s role at 23 years old right after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in accounting.

You might also be limiting your candidacy by presenting your qualifications. Knowing how to write your CV and cover letter to highlight your skills and qualifications is the first step towards securing that interview.

Failure to follow application instructions

One sure way to disqualify yourself is to not follow application instructions. It might sound too obvious but most job seekers skim through job postings only reading the qualifications and responsibility section. It is critical to read job advertisements to the last word to since some come with instructions on how to apply.

There are job applications that require to be submitted together with attachments or take particular tests as part of the application process. If there are specifications on what you should write on the email subject line, don’t get creative!

Double check your work

To err is human as they say, but did you know to err on your job application is suicidal? Employers read in between the lines and having errors on your application makes you seem like a person who is not detail oriented. You should ensure you have spelled the company name correctly and that your application is grammatical error free.

Your applications should also be in a format that is accessible for the recruiter to open and read.

Avoid generic applications

To be on the safe side when applying for jobs, customize every job application to the job description. You don’t want a situation where your application is not clear on the role you are applying for or worst you have addressed it to the wrong person. Spend a little more time to personalize your cover letter and email to ensure you’ve put the best foot forward.

Put all this into consideration when making the next application, don’t give someone a reason to trash your application.

Getting a job is a full-time job and only the violent taketh it by force.

Employers want experience but no one will give you a job so you can have the opportunity to gain it.

When you apply for a job, you really have no way of knowing where would be the best fit for you.

Since you have not worked before, you have no idea where you would fit in. That's why most graduates apply for just about any vacancy to get try their hands but we recruiters are quick to dismiss your cv and tag you unserious. You can't blame the recruiters though because they have to deliver the best fit for a particular position.

The best candidates are passive job seekers not the active ones. the passive job seekers are those who already have a job but are open to new or better opportuinities.

Time and over again, these set of people always turn out to be the best fit because of their experience. You cant compare them with the active job seekers. People prefer ready made rather than having to train. Training staff is expensive.


So what do we do?

Go get experience through internships or volunteer.

Good

Most guys usually leave the lady that suffered with them

where are your facts? Or you are speaking based on stories you hear

U.S.A and Russia cannot go to war. They can only make noise. We are in the ERA of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) an Era where both countries have intercontinental ballistic missile systems. So any attempt to strike one country can be retaliated. Nuclear weapon is no joke.

Despite all we go through we still find a way to bring humour out of it. See Ebola, See the Recession, See Fuel Scarcity. We are a strong and happy nation. Lets take time out to celebrate ourselves. Not every time negative report.

I never knew my job was going to be at apapa. It was an oil and gas company. A major one. The HR manager asked me if I would like to work at apapa. I said no that the traffic there is something else. I even went ahead to ask him what is wrong with the V.I office. Lol did I get that job? You know the answer

Dear Job Seeker, 

Do not apply for roles you are not qualified for, you waste my time and yours as the cv will end up in Trash. No! I will not keep it for future roles as you are denying other qualified people a chance for their cv's to be seen.

Also you have failed to follow instructions on the job advert. How many cv's do you really think an average hiring manager will be able to go through? 


Secondly, you even go ahead and send me messages on your application when you have ZERO experience in relation to the role advertised. 


Then you add insult to injury by calling me "Chi" when we have never met. Do you still wonder why you have not been called for interviews even though you have applied for 50 jobs that you are NOT qualified for?? Really

Enough said! Rant Over!

Who said as a woman you must marry a poor man before people know you are a wife material. What is wrong with marrying a good man that is rich. It's guys that are struggling that usually attack women that want to marry guys that are at least okay and care fend for them. Incase you don't know the meaning of bread winner is Sole provider. So know that to be a man is not a days job. If you are not ready leave the women in peace.


Then as a guy who said you must be struggling broke or poor to be able to get a good woman so you will say she struggled with yiu before you made it. You can make it and still marry a good woman. Stop harboring this backward mentality in your head.
As a guy you can help shape your wife into how you want with your money. Buy her the kind of clothes you like, if you need to take her to the gym please do or pump her with food so she can have body etc. Why do we have to always stress ourselves with 9 points to know he is the one or 13 signs to know she is not the one.

Marketing & PR

Marketing and PR focus on presenting information about a company, event or person in a way designed to improve or alter their image and appeal. Closely linked, both are vital to a wide range of companies that rely on the industry to market their products and services and boost profitability and brand image.

Most companies will have a marketing and PR department, regardless of the sector. Although their roles are different, many major companies will have an integrated marketing and PR department, where the two work hand-in-hand to promote the brand, for example with press releases about new products. They also work to protect companies from negative publicity, limiting the damage done to the company’s reputation. There are also specialist marketing and PR agencies that perform the same functions but work with a number of clients across a range of sectors, as opposed to just one.

An ever-expanding industry, marketing and PR is an exciting and rewarding sector for new graduates. Encompassing fields such as advertising, design, editorial, production and digital marketing, there are a wide range of roles to choose from. You’ll also have the chance to work on a range of exciting and interesting projects and with a number of different clients and sectors - from sports shoes to sandwiches.


What roles are open to me?
If you’re keen on a career in marketing and PR, there are a range of roles on offer.

These include:

Marketing Assistant
Marketing Communications Coordinator
Marketing Manager
PR Assistant
PR Specialist
PR Manager
Communications Manager
Marketing Executive
Digital Marketing Specialist
Designer
Marketing Copywriter
Artworker
Creative Director
Head of Marketing

What qualifications and skills do I need?
Graduates
Generally you will need a good degree in any discipline, although some companies do prefer a degree in a marketing-related subject. In addition to your degree, you’ll need to display key skills such as communication and organisational skills, teamwork, creativity, excellent time management, presentation skills and a real passion for the company and brand. Related work experience, such as an internship, will also be an advantage.

Training Opportunities
Many companies will give you the opportunity to undertake courses in relevant subjects throughout your career and as part of graduate training schemes, to ensure you keep up-to-date with new developments in the industry. Your company may also offer support if you wish to study a professional marketing qualification through bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) or the Institute of Direct and Digital Marketing (IDM).

Application Process
The application process depends on the role and company you apply for, but should follow some or all of the steps below:

Online application form
Initial telephone interview
Face-to-face interview - this may involve showing a portfolio of work or undertaking a writing or design test, depending on the role you’re applying for
Offer

Are there any downsides?
Although generally a 9am - 5pm role, you may have to work evenings and weekends if you have a big deadline or a client event. As a results-driven industry, the workload can be heavy and stressful, especially when working on major or integrated campaigns that involve the delivery of lots of different elements. You may also have to liaise with demanding clients and spend a lot of time travelling between client offices.

Is it right for me?
A career in marketing and PR can be a dynamic and exciting choice. If you’re keen on a role that combines your creative, communication and organisational skills and allows you to see the direct impact your work has on the reputation and profits of your company or client, it could be the perfect choice for you.
