We heareth thee.
But all these rules here now and then, why is it always projecting more of office ideology, is it only office work or must everybody work in the office? We should come out of this office orientation, not every profession is carried out in an office setting.

Of course I totally agree with you, not all will be applicable in non-office professions but believe me one needs a bit of organization and planning regardless of the profession or work environment

5 Tips for a Happier Work Day
Over the course of our career, about one third of our waking hours are spent at work. This is a sizeable number, and one that is much more easily digested if the hours are spent doing something that makes us happy. Being happy at work might not always seem easy, but it is very possible. Here are five ways to be happier at work.

1. Set three small daily goals

Sometimes it can be hard to feel like you're making progress on a project amidst the constant interruptions of emails, phone calls, and competing priorities.

By jotting down three small things that you would like to accomplish each day - and then crossing them off the list as you do them - you can remind yourself of the great progress you actually are making.

One of the best ways to set and track your daily work is with a Kanban board. If you've never used one, give it a try. It's simple, yet effective.



2. Avoid negativity in the workplace

No matter how happy you are, negativity, gossip, and complaining coworkers can be a drain on your energy. Instead, try to make friends with coworkers who are positive, collegial, and can provide a good network of support and resources.
Better yet... be that positive, supportive person. Chances are, it will also advance your career.

3. Make your workspace your own

Since you spend so much time at your workspace, it will go a long way if you make it comfortable, relaxed, and reflective of you. Keep it simple, though. Over-cluttering your workspace can lead to distraction.

4. Take ownership over your professional development

Professional development will help you feel connected to your career and grow as a professional. Listen to advice from your boss, but be the leader of your own path. Focus on where you want to be, rather than where you are now. Take steps each day that advance you toward your goal.

5. Be future oriented

A few bad days won't seem so grim if you have solid long-term goals, and you can see how your present work fits in to them. Be engaged in the present, but don't lose sight of the big picture.
The best way to achieve goals is to have one longer-term goal (one to three years out). Lay out the steps you need to achieve this goal on a flowchart, like this:

Establish a timeline for each step.
Focus on one step at a time. Make sure your daily task list includes something tangible that moves you toward the next step in your goal process.

My 3 year old son recently gave his 5 day old brother bobo drink as gift. I had to snap it.
We travelled last year and my son made the flight the most embarrassing one for us. It was his first flight experience and he was obviously scared. First the pilot had to wait for him before taking-off to weewee and then after taking-off, he was all screaming: "pilot please, please...plane fall down” throughout the flight and we were the only black people on the plane. Everyone was just looking at us.
Mom told me when I was a kid I was playing with a pair of scissors and wanted to demonstrate how she uses it on my d*ck. She screamed and collected it from me.

Someone once said if you think you are temperamental, go to a military barracks and slap an army officer. I believe everyone can control their anger. Just walk away from the situation, you'll definitely cool off.

I am in dire need of a job for my sister who is currently unemployed and open to new opportunities. Please see her details below:

1. BSc Banking and Finance (2.1)
2. Total of 5 years’ experience in Financial Analysis, Credit Risk Control and Analysis, Office Management and Administration.
3. Currently undergoing Professional Qualification with Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN)
4. Excellent use of Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
5. High level of numerical and analytical skills;
6. Exceptional writing and communication skills;
7. Languages Spoken: English, Yoruba and Hausa;

These and many more are her experience/skills. Will appreciate any assistance.

Thanks

'When you believe' by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston in Prince of Egypt

mummydirect:
Do u really know what marriage is, I mean seriously "marriage". If u know, u wouldn't have typed those things u typed there, cos it is never a bed of roses. Some coupes insults and yell at each other when they are angry but that does not depict what u enumerated above and after all this yelling and insults, the end would be sweet and romantic night together, so op, forget all this emotional bullying you are talking about, they are all spices of marriage, though I couldn't read all but the first paragraph I read gave me an insight of the rest.

You need to experience it to know what the writer is going through. There has always been that one-directional believe that only men bully in relationships

Does your girlfriend or wife yell, scream, and swear at you? Do you feel like you can’ttalk to anyone about your relationship because they just wouldn’t understand? Is your relationship making you feel like you’re slowly going crazy?If so, you’re probably involved with a woman who is an emotionally abusive bully.Most men don’t want to admit that they’re in an abusive relationship. They describe the relationship and their girlfriend/wife using other terms like crazy, emotional, controlling, bossy, domineering, constant conflict, or volatile. If you use words likethis to describe your relationship, odds are you’re being emotionally abused.Do you recognize any of the following behaviors?
1) Bullying.If she doesn’t get her way, there’s hell to pay.She wants to control you and resorts to emotional intimidation to do it. She uses verbal assaults and threats in order to get you to do what she wants. It makes her feel powerful to make you feel bad. People with aNarcissistic personalityare often bullies.Result:You lose your self-respect and feel outnumbered, sad, and alone. You develop a caseofStockholm Syndrome, in which you identify with the aggressor and actually defend her behavior to others.

2) Unreasonable expectations.No matter how hard you try and how much you give,it’s never enough.She expects you to drop whatever you’re doing and attend to her needs. No matter the inconvenience, she comes first. She has an endless list of demands that no one mere mortal could ever fulfill.Common complaints include:You’re not romanticenough, you don’t spend enough time with me, you’re not sensitive enough, you’re not smart enough to figure out my needs, you’re not makingenough money, you’re not FILL IN THE BLANK enough. Basically, you’re not enough, because there’s no pleasing this woman.No one will ever be enough for her, so don’t take it to heart.Result:You’re constantly criticized because you’re not able to meet her needs and experience a sense oflearned helplessness. You feel powerless and defeated because she puts you in no-win situations.

3) Verbal attacks.This is self-explanatory. She employs schoolyard name calling,pathologizing(e.g.,armed with a superficial knowledge of psychology she uses diagnostic terms like labile, paranoid, narcissistic, etc. for a 50-cent version of name calling), criticizing, threatening, screaming, yelling, swearing, sarcasm, humiliation, exaggerating your flaws, and making fun of you in front of others, including your children and other people she’s not intimidated by.Verbal assault is another form of bullying, andbullies only act like this in front of those whom they don’t fear or people who let them get away with their bad behavior.Result:Your self-confidence and sense of self-worth all but disappear. You may even begin to believe the horrible things she says to you.

4) Gaslighting.“I didn’t do that. I didn’t say that. I don’t know what you’re talking about. It wasn’t that bad. You’re imagining things. Stop making things up.”If the woman you’re involved with is prone toBorderline or Narcissistic rage episodes, in which she spirals into outer orbit, she may very well not remember things she’s said and done. However, don’t doubt your perception and memory of events. They happened and they are that bad.Result:Her gaslighting behavior may cause you to doubt your own sanity. It’s crazy-making behavior that leaves you feeling confused, bewildered, and helpless.

5) Unpredictable responses.Round and round and round she goes. Where she’ll stop, nobody knows.She reacts differently to you on different days or at different times. For example, on Monday, it’s ok for you to Blackberry work email in front of her. On Wednesday, the same behavior is“disrespectful, insensitive, you don’t love me, you’re a self-important jerk, you’re a workaholic.”By Friday, it could be okay for you to Blackberry again.Telling you one day that something’s alright and the next day that it’s not is emotionally abusive behavior.It’s like walking through a landmine in which the mines shift location.Result:You’re constantly on edge, walking on eggshells, and waiting for the other shoe to drop.This is a trauma response. You’re being traumatized by her behavior. Because you can’t predict her responses, you become hypervigilant to any change in her mood or potential outburst, which leaves you in a perpetual state of anxiety and possibly fear. It’s a healthy sign to be afraid of this behavior. It’s scary. Don’t feel ashamed to admit it.

6) Constant Chaos.She’s addicted to conflict. Shegets a charge from the adrenaline and drama. She may deliberately start arguments and conflictas a way to avoid intimacy, to avoid being called on her bullshit, to avoid feeling inferior or, bewilderingly, as an attempt to avoid being abandoned. She may also pick fights to keep you engaged or as a way to get you to react to her with hostility, so that she can accuseyouof beingabusive andshecan play the victim. This maneuver is a defense mechanism calledprojective identification.Result:You become emotionally punch drunk. You’re left feeling dazed and confused, not knowing which end is up. This is highly stressful because it also requires you to be hypervigilant and in a constant state of defense for incoming attacks.

7) Emotional Blackmail.She threatens to abandonyou, to end the relationship, or give you the cold shoulder if you don’t play by her rules. She plays on your fears, vulnerabilities, weaknesses, shame, values, sympathy, compassion, and other “buttons” to control you and get what she wants.Result:You feel manipulated, used, and controlled.

8 Rejection.She ignores you, won’t look at you when you’re in the same room, gives you the cold shoulder, withholds affection, withholds sex, declines or puts down your ideas, invitations, suggestions, and pushes you away when you try to be close.After she pushes you as hard and as far away as she can, she’ll try to be affectionate with you. You’re still hurting from her previous rebuff or attack and don’t respond. Then she accusesyouof being cold and rejecting,which she’ll use as an excuse to push you away again inthe future.Result:You feel undesirable, unwanted, and unlovable. You believe no one else would want you and cling to this abusive woman, grateful for whatever scraps of infrequent affection she shows you.

9) Withholding affection and sex.This is another form of rejection and emotional blackmail. It’s notjust about sex,it’s about withholding physical, psychological, and emotional nurturing. It includes a lack of interest in what’s important to you–your job, family, friends, hobbies, activities–and being uninvolved, emotionally detached or shut down with you.Result:You have a transactional relationship in which you have to perform tasks, buy her things, “be nice to her,” or give into her demands in order to receive love and affection from her. You don’t feel loved and appreciated for who you are, but for what you do for her or buy her.

10) Isolating.She demands or acts in ways that cause you to distance yourself from your family, friends, or anyone that would be concerned for your well-being or a source of support. This typically involvesverbally trashing your friends and family, being overtly hostile to your family and friends, or acting out and starting arguments in front of others to make it as unpleasant as possible for them to be around the two of you.Result:This makes you completely dependent upon her. She takes away your outside sources ofsupport and/or controls the amount of interactionyou have with them.You’re left feeling trapped and alone, afraid to tell anyone what really goes on in your relationship because you don’t think they’ll believe you.You don’t have to accept emotional abuse in your relationship.

You can get help or you can end it.Most emotionally abusive women don’t want help. They don’t think they need it. They are the professional victims, bullies, narcissists, and borderlines. They’re abusive personality types and don’t know any other way to act in relationships.

Standard chartered is axing 15000 jobs after posting a loss in the third quarter. Perhaps that would explain why I got a regret email.
http://www.newsunited.com/standard-chartered-axes-15-000-jobs-news/19504368/

Yea I saw that on the news too. Maybe that is why they suspended the recruitment exercise for now.

Goodevening Ladies and Gentlemen.
Let me start by introducing myself.
I am Gozie and I graduated from Geology department from one of our Federal Universities in Nigeria (name hidden for confidential reasons).
Well, I am currently serving in Akwaibom state and will pass out next year by April, but I have great fear borthering me sometimes, and that is LIFE AFTER NYSC.



I am an ardent visitor of Job and Vacancy section and I always read some threads created by Job seekers complaining of how Nigeria is devoid of employment and each time I see it, I feel disturbed.


REASONS WHY I AM AFRAID OF LIFE AFTER NYSC

1......My parents are both in the village and I dont have anyplace to go to after service while waiting for employment because I wont like to stay in the village.








2.........Though I graduated with Second Class Upper, I dont have any single connection in the industry and I have been reading posts of how life without connection can be miserable for a job seeker.










3........The highest I can save from this NYSC scheme is 100k, which is not enough capital to venture into any reasonable thing in Nigeria.





Please I seriously need your advice on what to do in other to get Job immediately I finish service next year April because that is the only surest way to raise capital.







I plan to relocate to PH and rent house there while waiting for employment because PH is well industralized and there are lots of oil companies , construction companies and other companies related to my course located in PH.

Looking forward to hearing your response.

Hello. Please, can you help with tips on how to scale through the strength test. I seem not to be good in handling strength assesment questions.

What the strength test wants to really check is your skills in terms of leadership, teamwork, good judgment and others. When confronted with questions, always think of how it will affect the organization, your team and taking responsibility. Questions like: If a junior colleague approaches you for assistance on a particular task and you have loads of work on your hand, what will you do? Tell him you are busy, he should come back? Tell him to approach others because you are busy? Or find out little time from your busy schedule and assist him as quickly as you can and tell him to go ahead but you will join him once you are through with your work? I will go for the last option if I am to select an option. This shows you can help others and at the same time handle pressure at work.

emexto:
Bros, pls how were your response to the questions like, we would like an insight Since u have already made it to the next stage,so we can know how to approach our's... God bless you as you have been helpful to every one of us and he will Perfect all that consigns you.IJN Amen

All I did was to sight examples when responding, this is the general approach to interviews, even if you have to formulate some examples to buttress your points. There's a few seconds given for you to prepare before the video recording starts, so you can use that time to quickly arrange your thoughts. Ensure you sight work related examples especially something relevant to the company/role you applied for.
