Career / How To Pass A Job Interview by Esthersblog(f): 9:50am On Oct 17, 2015
A job interview is the time you prove to the interviewers that you are the best candidate for the job you applied for, and give them convincing reasons why you should be hired.

When you are applying for jobs, make sure you write down the company and the position you applied for somewhere, because sometimes, you might get an invitation for a job interview without the position written in the email or text message. In that case, you can refer back to your notes to know the position you applied for, because most of us apply for jobs and forget that we even made an application to the company when contacted.

After you have been contacted for a job interview, you need to prepare for it. Here are some tips that will help you;

First, you need to do some research about the company by going through their website, know about their products/services, their competitors, projects they have done, just to prove that you know about the company. if they do not have a website, search through google and you will definitely find something about the company. And also, search for more qualities about what someone in the position you applied for should possess in a company, how it adds value to the company and why they need someone specifically for that position. Write down the key points.

An interview session is more or less interactive, you both want something from each other, you have to give it your best shot. It is a conversation between two adults. You have to look confident and sound positive, your focus should be on how well you are going to impress the interviewer. Dress smart, neat, appropriate and always smile when necessary. Be there on time, it gives you time to calm your nerves before the interview. First impression matters a lot.

Make sure you know exactly what is written on your CV, the questions asked about yourself should always tally with what is written on your CV. Do not try to guess or pause when questions related to what is on your CV is being asked.

Always listen to every question asked and if you are not sure, make sure you ask again to avoid giving answers contrary to the question asked.

Always make sure your answers are clear and concise, but comprehensive. If they want to know more, they will definitely ask you. And if the key questions are not asked because your answers were too long from the beginning, you might miss out on the job. Sometimes they have a time limit when there are so many invitees for the job interview.

Practice your answers to questions like;

Tell me about yourself? Your answers should be about your education, skills, work experiences and a bit about yourself.

What do you know about this company? This is where you talk about the reasearch you made about the company.

Why should we hire you? Talk about your professional and personal qualities, skills and values that are in line with the job description of the position you applied for and the company as a whole. Be convincing enough and back it up with points, also list your experiences and motivations that are relevant to the positon as well with practical examples.

What are your strengths and weaknesses? You have to sell yourself and for the weaknesses, do not give negative examples that would not benefit their company.

Prepare at least one or two questions to ask the interviewer.

All the best!!!

Family / White Wedding Location Issues – What Would You Do? by Esthersblog(f): 12:18pm On Oct 16, 2015
Culturally, some tribes will say the white wedding should be done in the groom’s church, some others, the bride’s church, and also, the liberal ones who are indifferent about where the white wedding should take place.

It is believed that, as a man, you are going to ask for a woman’s hand in marriage and therefore, you have to adhere to your bride-to-be and her family’s decision about the location of the wedding, and if it’s not favourable for the man and his family, then the groom and maybe with some members of his family will have to discuss it with the bride’s family and afterwards come to a conclusion.

It is also believed that after the wedding, a woman is supposed to join her husband in his church fully and as a result of this, the white wedding should be held at the bride’s church to honour her for the last time since he is taking her out of her church.

Traditional and white weddings are usually held at the bride and her family’s choice of location. But sometimes when making the decision about where the white wedding should take place, conflicts arises from both families. The parents of the bride would want the wedding to take place in their church and at the same time, the parents of the groom wants the wedding in their own church as well.

What would you do when both parents want the wedding to take place in their churches at the same time?

Romance / Tips To Let Go – An Ex Is Called An ‘EX’ For A Reason by Esthersblog(f): 4:58pm On Oct 15, 2015
When a lady breaks up with a guy especially when the relationship meant something, there is a 95 percent chance that when both parties meet often, old feelings might resurface.

Some exes can be so inconsiderate, after giving you the space to heal and move on. They come back by sending messages to know how you are doing and before you know it, you start communicating frequently not because they want the relationship back. Some of them just do it for selfish reasons.

Sometimes, you might be cool with it from the beginning thinking you have moved on, just to prove you have no hard feelings, but my dear, you can never be so sure. Definitely, as time goes on, you might talk about the past, and maybe that would be the time you discuss properly why the relationship ended, how sorry he was, how he was so much in love with you, bla bla bla, and before you know it, the feelings starts coming back.

I really do strongly advice against frequent communications with exes, especially when you had a deep connection with them. It is very difficult to just be friends with someone you have dated and was in love with without thinking about the good times you both shared. The truth is, if he can break up with you in the first place, he will surely do it again at any given opportunity.

You current partner might tell you, it’s okay to be friends with your ex. It is always never okay. Do not jeopardize your current relationship for a chance to be friends with an ex. The funny part is when an ex knows that you are in a happy relationship (some of them though), that is when they want you back and try every possible means just to have you back.

Some of the exes just wants to use you as a tool whenever they like because they know your weak points. But my dear, shine your eyes… Do not be used!!!

Here are some tips that can help you deal with the EX;

Completely cut off every form of contact with him – No texting, emails, phone calls, visits, skype calls,… If possible block him. Some exes can be so stubborn, when they notice they cannot reach you, the hide their numbers to call, we are in the 21st century, block all private numbers from your phone. Communication with exes can create false hopes of coming back together.

You have started doing fine and also maybe in a happy relationship. Ask yourself, what more does he have to offer, what can he do that will make my life better? Am I need of a friend that was once an ex? If there are no reasonable and rational answers to that, cut him off in a polite way.

Stay off your ex social media accounts, especially his Facebook account. Your ex is not your friend after a breakup. Always remind yourself that whatever you have shared with him is in the past and will continue to remain there.

According to Steve Maraboli, “Unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”

Feel free to add more tips and suggestions....

Thank you.

TooNoisy:
Tell her, if she is really your best friend, she will be happy for you. Don't worry, she will have lots of mixed emotions and possibly cry and ask God why she hasn't conceived, but you also need to be there for her to keep her strong because her time will come.

She got married six years before you, you were not jealous neither did it affect your friendship. So I do not think she should be jealous of you. Life is full of challenges and no one person has it easy in this world. Not even Dangote or Bill Gates, they have their challenges too.

You should tell her and not let her find out from another source. If she is truly your friend, she will rejoice with you, but you should also continue to encourage her. Her time will come.
Family / EB Xclusive: Should I Tell My Best Friend??? by Esthersblog(f): 10:30am On Oct 15, 2015
An EB reader sent this email;

I have been reading the posts on your blog silently and I decided to share this with EB family. Keep up the good work.

My best friend and I have maintained our relationship for 20years now, we’ve been through thick and thin, ups and downs together over the years which is normal with friendship and we have always kept it going strong. Currently, we live in the same city which has made us even closer than before.

She got married Six years ago in 2009, and as God would have it, I got married in February this year *phew*. After a few months into my marriage, I found out I was pregnant with my first child, which is the best news ever for a lady in her late 30s, without any troubles. *I am the most happiest woman alive*.

The issue now is, my best friend who has been married for six years has not been able to conceive despite all she has done and tried to get pregnant. I know how she feels about not being able to conceive, the tears and pains we have shared together, problems arising from her in-laws, friends tagging her as being infertile and the likes of it you can possibly imagine that can be said and done to someone who has not been able to get pregnant almost six years in her marriage. I have always been there for her through it all and still is.

Now, I don’t know how she is going to feel when I tell her I am pregnant.

Is it advisable to tell her now or wait for the right time? Also, not forgetting that, there is always never a right time when it comes to pregnancy because the longer I wait, the symptoms starts to show and the belly gets bigger.

Your honest opinion counts…

Romance / I Think I Made The Greatest Mistake Of My Life by Esthersblog(f): 2:02pm On Oct 14, 2015
"I was faithful to a vow I made some years ago to remain celibate until after marriage. I made this decision after I got pregnant by my boyfriend who was 21 at the time and I was 19. We were both young and it was our first time dating. We started having unprotected sex after a few months into the relationship. I was naïve at the time not knowing the measures to take to avoid pregnancy.

After a few months, I got pregnant. We were not ready to start a family because we were still in our first year at the university. We both decided to remove the pregnancy, at this time, the pregnancy was already more than two months. During the process, the pain I felt was the worst pain I have ever had. I prayed to God to deliver me out of this alive. And after it was done, I made a promise before leaving the hospital that I will remain celibate till after marriage.

Well, I managed to keep to that promise until after I got married which I am regretting now. I met guys along the way who broke up with me after I refused to have sexual intercourse with them. Then I met my husband some years later, who respected my decision and even loved me more for it knowing how difficult it is to abstain from sex, especially when I have experienced it before.

After my wedding night, obviously I couldn’t have sex with my husband because we were so fagged out after the wedding. My husband has always talked about how he prefers MouthAction but I didn’t pay so much attention whenever he talks about it. Not knowing he prefers it because he knows he cannot satisfy a woman in bed. My husband’s sexual organ is as small as my pinky finger. We hardly have sex now because, the first day we did it, I did not feel anything at all, and afterwards, it always feel like a waste of time.

I am five years into the marriage and no issue. I am also regretting now because, if I had tested the waters before making this lifetime decision, I would have been able to avoid this. I tell those who wants to listen to make sure they try it even if it’s just once and then they can close their cookie jars afterwards. I know it is wrong but Sex is very very important in marriage. God who invented it knows the reason why he made it so.

Now, I feel like cheating on my husband. I have my sexual desires, I need to feel like a woman but I do not get any of that from my husband. I do not know what to do at this moment. I am a true Christian and a married woman who is lost in her marriage.

What do I do?"

Romance / What Do You Think??? Settle For Less Or Keep Waiting For The Guy On The List??? by Esthersblog(f): 8:53am On Oct 13, 2015
Most times, people would say write down the qualities of the kind of man you want and also the things you know you cannot compromise, no matter what. I do not see that as a bad idea though, it just only keeps you focused and making sure that you dont settle for less.

But as we grow older this list starts to change by adjusting the qualities you want in your man based on experiences you must have encountered along the way and also maybe maturity as well. You might see some of the things on the list as being childish with time and some that you can now tolerate.

And then, you keep waiting and waiting for that man on the list and he seems not to be showing up, maybe the ones you see only fit in 40% or less most of the time from the standard you have set for yourself. And you have made up your mind not to settle for anything less, and even if you don’t find a 100%, he should be at least 70% and above.

Obviously, the clock is ticking. Age is not on your side anymore. And you know, once a lady is up to 30 without a boyfriend, people might start thinking she has a problem.

At this time, do you think its advisable to settle for anything that comes your way or to keep waiting for that special someone on the list

Sometimes, it’s so amazing when some ladies fail to see or realise they are been used as SIDE CHICKS.

Some have got the eyes, but yet see nothing out of it. The Signs are right there in front of you Girl. Men are very discreet with relationships they ain’t that committed to, they do all things to keep that very special relationship away from their side chicks.

THESE ARE SIGNS TO SHOW YOU ARE JUST A SIDE CHICK;

1. When you are not allowed to take his calls or touch his phone because you just might bump into his contacts where your name was stored in casually and another name stored as Baby or My love.

2. He avoids hanging out with you publicly, so as not to been seen by his main chick.

3. You have never been introduced to any of his family and friends, yet you have been with him for over 6months.

4. He never takes your call when he his at home or late at night, when he sure would be in the arms of his main chick.*winks*.

5. You have been together for so long, but yet never been offered a key to his apartment.

6. All your appointments/hookups has to be pre-planned.

7. He becomes so upset when you complain about his attitudes towards you, and try to calm your nerves by having Sex just to distract you from what is being talked about.

Tell me ladies, who is fooling who? Open your eyes all you ladies and see if that is what you really want out of life. To be placed as second priority or someone to run to as a rebound when he has a little misunderstanding with his one true love.

Wake up ladies, we all are better than that, some women actually do love that position to be fair, but I would rather say it’s stupid to play second figure to any man or in a relationship.

Think positive GIRLS!!! Cos Tell me, who run this World? Girls..

Romance / Put All Your Eggs In One Basket Or Keep Your Options Open? by Esthersblog(f): 3:39pm On Oct 07, 2015
As we all know, putting all your eggs in one basket in a relationship context means dating only one person at a time exclusively, putting yourself off the market.

From experience and stories I have heard, it is always advisable not to put all your eggs in one basket except you are very sure and I mean 100% sure that the guy/lady you are dating is totally committed to you. Sometimes, though, a serious relationship is not a guarantee to a lasting commitment.

There is a friend of mine who started dating this guy when she was 27, they dated for four years. She initially thought the relationship will end up in marriage. Obviously, being with someone for that long shows that there is a serious commitment from both parties. They started living together after 2 years into the relationship, and after a year and half of living together, issues started cropping up, which ended up emotionally draining their relationship.

Unknown to her, the guy had started seeing someone else whom he later said he preferred to her, and was looking for a way to make her move out of the house, so he could have his space. Well, he finally got what he wanted. Friends and some of her family members advised her to move out, to gain some respect back and maybe the guy will come back to his senses. And that is because, she was the one trying so hard to make the relationship work. Also, I am not in support of a lady living with a guy permanently outside marriage, because it sometimes causes see-finish.

After she moved out, the relationship ended some months later, and at that time she was 31. It took her some time to start getting toasters, because while she was dating the guy, all her social media accounts were filled with his pictures calling him names that was meant for HUSBANDS and not boyfriends. It was so heartbreaking though.

She said she will never put all her eggs in one basket; except she finds a guy who truly loves her and she loves him in return, he engages her openly, and also take some commitment steps further, like a proper family introduction, before she will cut down her communications with other potential toasters this time around. I also supported her. *CloseEyes*

I’m not advocating cheating on anyone, or avoiding commitment, or any of the other possible things you could deduce from the phrase.

Yea, life is a learning process, we make mistakes along the way and learn from them, but also, do not allow what has happened in your past relationship affect you in a negative way or turn you into something else, all in the name of forming hardcore. Breakups hurt so bad, no doubt, especially when you have opened your heart to that person, but will you continue to remain single all your life or tag every guy as being the same as your ex? No. You have to try to shake it off after some time and move on.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion…

Romance / Matters Of The Heart – Dilemma Situation by Esthersblog(f): 1:09pm On Oct 06, 2015
I received this email from an EB reader and want to share it on NL as well…

The email reads;

“I am very much in love with a lady I met at a friend’s birthday party. We started off as friends and as we got to know each other better, I began to fall in love with her. Unknown to me at that time, she had a boyfriend which she never mentioned to me even by mistake. She made it clear to me with her actions that she was available and kept on giving me the green light. I also did not suspect her because her boyfriend spends most of his time on the rig.

As time went on, I decided I was going to officially ask her out. I like doing it the traditional way before officially dating a girl. The day I made up my mind to ask her to be my girl, I took her out for dinner and after I made my intentions known to her. That was when she told me sad news.

It didn’t change my feelings for her and after a few days, I told her to make up her mind, to either break up with her boyfriend and be with me or she loses me completely, even as a friend. I was completely devastated but still had hopes, because I wanted to settle down and start my own family, coupled with the fact that I thought I had found the woman of my dreams.

She later told me she does not want to break up with her boyfriend and all the kind of talk that comes with it. I decided to move on after that and stopped all forms of communication with her but never stopped loving her.

She sent me a message a few weeks ago stating that she has ended her relationship with her boyfriend because she wants to be with me.

I am in a dilemma now because I am currently in a relationship. I like my current girlfriend but I do not love her that much yet. I am thinking of breaking up with my girlfriend to be with the one I love and at the same time, I do not want to hurt my girlfriend because she is so into me and the relationship is just two months old.”

Thank you

eyinjuege:
You have unfortunately married a man with no regard for you, and despite being the 'legal' wife your husband has become "our" husband. Way forward? It's a tough call, but you shouldn't suffer in silence. Inform his pastors, and this is just for record purposes. His family obviously don't want you in his life so there's no point seeking succour there.
It's time to face your self and improve your self for the sake of your child.
Hope you work, look for ways to get more financially empowered. Do new things, learn a skill, meet new people, join a club or social group that adds value to others. Have you gone to a higher institution? If you haven't, time to do so or go for some professional exam certifications. You need to keep busy so you don't wallow in self pity cos that depresses further.
What has happened has happened and you have learned an invaluable lesson.. Never trust completely a human being cos they are just humans and will always fail. Don't have expectations of people cos most times you often get disappointed.
Sorry about your heartaches.

I started dating my husband in June 2012; we had our court and traditional marriage in January 2015. I realized I was four weeks pregnant the same month we had our traditional marriage, and in June 2015, which was six months after the traditional wedding, we had our white wedding. Then, I was almost six months pregnant but we still went ahead with the white wedding.

Two months after the white wedding in August, my husband told me that his ex-girlfriend whom he was dating before he met me gave birth to a baby boy for him. I was so shocked because I never expected such news from him. My husband is one of the nicest men I have ever met. After all the ranting, he then said he had been seeing her even while we were dating because she has refused to move on to date someone else. What surprised me the most, was how my husband was able to keep such information away from me right from when she was pregnant until the day she gave birth.

I gave birth to my baby girl late last month. My husband is from Imo state and I am from Kogi state. I decided not to check the sex of my baby before she was born, which was very difficult for me. I had to because of the way my husband was always praying and wishing for a male child to be his first fruit. I was unhappy at first when my baby girl was delivered and what made it worse was because he has a male child from another woman.

His family was so excited about his male child from his ex-girlfriend and forgot that I was almost due to give birth to his child, when the news broke. His mother has not come to the house to see me up till now as I am writing this in tears. I lost my parents at a very young age. I now read articles online, joined forums and also talk to experienced mothers for advice on how to go about some delicate matters about a new born baby.

I do not trust my husband anymore, he has also been acting very strange since I gave birth and now his very first child is a boy from another woman. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Your honest opinion counts.

Then, I was almost six months pregnant but we still went ahead with the white wedding.

Two months after the white wedding in August, my husband told me that his ex-girlfriend whom he was dating before he met me gave birth to a baby boy for him. I was so shocked because I never expected such news from him. My husband is one of the nicest men I have ever met. After all the ranting, he then said he had been seeing her even while we were dating because she has refused to move on to date someone else. What surprised me the most, was how my husband was able to keep such information away from me right from when she was pregnant until the day she gave birth.

I gave birth to my baby girl late last month. My husband is from Imo state and I am from Kogi state. I decided not to check the sex of my baby before she was born, which was very difficult for me. I had to because of the way my husband was always praying and wishing for a male child to be his first fruit. I was unhappy at first when my baby girl was delivered and what made it worse was because he has a male child from another woman.

His family was so excited about his male child from his ex-girlfriend and forgot that I was almost due to give birth to his child, when the news broke. His mother has not come to the house to see me up till now as I am writing this in tears. I lost my parents at a very young age. I now read articles online, joined forums and also talk to experienced mothers for advice on how to go about some delicate matters about a new born baby.

I do not trust my husband anymore, he has also been acting very strange since I gave birth and now his very first child is a boy from another woman. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Your honest opinion counts.

Do you mean private proposal is not a proof of true love?
efepro:
I see public marriage proposal as a proof of true love, but I can't do it, cos I dnt hav the courage for that. I prefer the private proposal

Lol. The witnesses always expect the girl to act all surprised with tears rolling down, if possible.
PunkyVeer:


Yeah, they might think stuff. You know how nosy people can be. Always looking for hidden meaning. They might conclude it's something to do with the ring (rock too small) or whatever cheesy
Romance / Re: Do You Think Marriage Proposals Should Be Public Or Private? by Esthersblog(f): 8:56am On Oct 05, 2015
Very true.
PunkyVeer:
In private because I don't know how to show excitement & act dramatic, so others with a pre-conceived notion of how a woman that just been proposed to should act, might misread the aloofness as disinterest or something else.

Do you think a man should first discuss with the lady he intends to marry, if he should propose in public or private when the time comes. Because, I think most guys make the marriage proposal decisions and arrangements themselves, about when and how to propose to their girlfriends when they are sure of spending the rest of their lives together.

Sometimes, a lady might act and sound like, yea, I would love to marry you, just to keep the relationship going, while waiting for the right man to come take her away, in order to avoid being tagged as a single lady. When you propose to such lady in public, what do you think might be her reaction?

And also, supposing the girlfriend being proposed to feels ambushed and can’t express her true feelings because she doesn’t want the guy to feel embarrassed? What should she do in such a situation?

The truth is, when a man proposes to a lady in public and she ends up saying NO. I trust my Naija brothers, they will curse and yab the hell out of her, and some guys will even start quoting Isaiah 4:1 – “In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”. That’s the Bible verse they know by heart. Lol.

Romance / Gay Priest Expelled From Vatican By Pope Francis by Esthersblog(f): 2:30pm On Oct 04, 2015
I am a bit confused here. I thought Catholic Priests were supposed to take a vow to remain celibate and not involve themselves in any sexual activity of any kind before being ordained. #justsaying…

A 43-year-old Senior Polish Priest, Krzysztof Charamsa was expelled from Vatican by Pope Francis for openly coming out as gay on the eve of a major meeting of church leaders to discuss the Church’s stance on social issues such as divorce and homosexuality.

The priest said, “I’m out of the closet, and I’m very happy about that. And added in Italian, I want to be an advocate for all sexual minorities and their families who have suffered in silence”.
