Jobs/VacanciesRe: What's The Proper Format To Address A Cover Letter In Online Job Application? by Laposky: 9:02am On Dec 02, 2014
insidifyguru:
Sending a cover letter via mail can be basically in two forms:
1. Writing the cover letter as a message in the space provided by your email provider and sending or
2. Sending the cover letter as an attachment.

However, whichever means you decide to send your cover letter through, it should not be addressed the same way you would if you were writing with the conventional pen and paper. It is advisable that the cover letter be formatted like your CV (which of course will also be an accompanying document with your cover letter) when crafting it.

Sending your cover letter is usually the more appropriate means as it allows for a professional feel and you don't run the risk of everything you've typed being jumbled together upon being received by the recruiter.

Hope this helps. #Insidify

P.S: you can drop your email address here to get a sample copy of a cover letter to better help you understand the above.
pls help my email add is johnutaji@yahoo.com

HI Nairalanders,

Thank you.

Wonder why most peeps on nairaland finds it difficult making reasonable comments. Instead they prefer making derogatory remarks whenever on interesting threads. I really doubt some people's sanity on this site. Nigeria can never be rebranded when the supposed leaders of tomorrow think and reason like touts and the mentally impoverished. Learn to comment wisely without derogatory remarks. With all these comments I see from some peeps, I don't think some peeps are in any way better than d Shekaus, d Kabiru sokotos and d Mohammed Yusufs

SportsRevealed: Why Ronaldo Can't Cash In On Ballon D'or by Laposky(op): 1:17pm On Jan 09, 2014
A deal between Fifa and Lionel Messi's sponsor Adidas will prevent the Real Madrid superstar from using the award logo on his products if he triumphs on Monday

Cristiano Ronaldo has been dealt a blow ahead of next week's Ballon d'Or announcement as details emerge of a deal between Adidas - the main sponsor of Lionel Messi - and Fifa.

Under the terms of the agreement, Adidas enjoys exclusive rights for the promotion of Fifa Ballon d'Or merchandise, while Nike, Ronaldo's main sponsor and that of fellow leading candidate Franck Ribery, does not possess the same privilege.

It means the Real Madrid forward, who is favourite to land the prize, will be unable to make money from the award in the same manner as his great rival and current holder.

"These official partnerships are the reasons why we can use the official award name within promotional activity and therefore, by the same token, why Nike could not," Ben Goldhagen, Senior PR Manager for Adidas UK and Ireland, told Goal.

Adidas produced a special edition f50 boot to commemorate Messi's fourth consecutive Ballon d'Or win last January and plans are afoot for a similar campaign in spring in the event of a Messi win in the 2013 voting.

"We would certainly look to repeat that approach next time around," Goldhagen said.

"Messi has his own limited edition boots coming in March [regardless of the Ballon d'Or outcome]."

Ronaldo and Nike, by contrast, would not be entitled to market such a Ballon d'Or-inspired boot in the event of a victory for the Portugal captain.

Adidas is one of Fifa's six World Cup 'official partners' and has supplied balls and equipment for every tournament since 1970. In November, the 43-year partnership was renewed to cover all Fifa events through 2030. The previous deal was renewed in 2005 at a cost of around €30m per year. The new agreement is believed to be worth significantly more.
i
Adidas predicts that its sales in the football category will reach record highs of €2 billion in 2014, up from a total of €1.7bn in 2012. Much of that sum will depend on Messi and his exposure in football's great untapped wilderness - America.

Marketing plans for the Argentina captain could be made all the more fruitful were he to win the Ballon d'Or. The company has already launched a Messi range of clothing and footwear and the Argentina international is only the second footballer after David Beckham to have such a line tailored by Adidas.

"He hasn't really been marketed in the US," the director of Adidas' North American football project, Ernesto Bruce, told the Oregonian in August. "We're going to market him as the world's best player. We think the 2014 World Cup will be historic for Messi.

RomanceRelationships: Tips For Success by Laposky(op): 11:30am On Dec 29, 2013
Summary

A ‘good relationship’ means different things to different people. A major factor in creating a happy, healthy relationship is the willingness of the couple to work at it. Communication, flexibility and spending time together can help build a good relationship.

A ‘good relationship’ means different things to different people. However, good adult relationships generally involve two people who respect each other, can communicate, and have equal rights, opportunities and responsibilities. Most of us would also expect our relationship with our partner to include love, intimacy, sexual expression, commitment, compatibility and companionship.


​

WORKING AT A RELATIONSHIP:


All couples want to have a successful and rewarding relationship, yet it is normal for couples to have ups and downs. To meet these challenges, and to keep your relationship healthy and happy, you need to work at it. Relationships are like bank accounts – if there are fewer deposits than withdrawals, you will run into difficulties.



TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP:


Tips that may help you improve your relationship and be better prepared to meet the challenges along the way include:

Talk to each other – just because you love each other doesn’t mean you will be able to communicate well or can read your partner’s mind, or that they can read yours. Communicate your needs – don’t wait for your partner to try to guess what is going on with you.

If you have something to bring up, do it gently – going on the attack rarely gets you what you want.

Listen to each other – often we are so busy defending ourselves that we don’t hear what our partner is saying. Let your partner know that you have heard them before you give them your response.

Remember the positives about your partner – this helps protect your relationship. One critical comment needs five positive comments to counteract its effect. Think carefully beforesaying what’s on your mind.

Make repair attempts – if your attempts to talk about an issue don’t go as planned, try not to let the situation become even more negative (such as not talking for extended periods or ignoring the other person’s attempts). Saying sorry or touching your partner in a caring manner shows you care, even though you disagree.

Spend time together – make your relationship a priority and make time for each other, even if you have to book it in. Regular ‘deposits in your relationship bank account’ will help protect your relationship.

Work on feeling good about yourself – this will help the way you feel about your relationship.

Everyone is different – accept and value differences in others, including your partner. We often choose people who have qualities and abilities we would like more of. This is one of the reasons why our relationships offer us significant opportunities to grow and develop as people. Remind yourself of this.

Make plans – set goals for your relationship and plan for your future. This shows that you are both in the relationship for the long term.

Be supportive – try not to judge, criticise or blame each other; we are all human. Remind yourself that you are a team, and in order for the team to be successful, you each have to cheer the other on.

Learn from arguments – accept that arguments will happen and try to resolve them with respect. The strongest predictor of divorce is ‘contempt’, which is any action whereby your partner feels ‘put down’ by you, whether it is the tone of your voice or what you say. Often in arguments, we become overwhelmed and this can often lead to behaviours that harm our relationship.

Stay calm during disagreements – or if this is not possible, take time out. Taking an ‘us’ perspective that prioritises the relationship rather than a ‘you’ and ‘me’ perspective can be very useful.

Look at your part in theconflict rather than focusing only on your partner’s contribution. Your partner is more likely to acknowledge his or her contribution if you do the same. Research has shown that relationships fall into difficulty when partners begin to think ‘here we go again’ and this negative cycle is associated with loneliness, hurt and disappointment.

Be sexually considerate – be affectionate (sometimes a lingering kiss or a warm hug are just as important). Accept that individuals have different sex drives and to sustain a healthy and happy sex life requires negotiation. A reduction in a couple’s physical connection is often a warning sign of problems in a relationship.

Be attentive – demonstrate your commitment to the relationship. It is what you do for someone that tells them that you love them. We tend to give our partner what we hope to receive but they may prefer another form of affection. Do they like gifts, quality time with you, a note or a cooked meal? Once you know what they like, make an effort to provide it.

Enjoy yourself – have fun and celebrate your life together. Rituals can enhance your relationship. It’s also important to try new things as a couple. Doing fun activities together is very important, as often ‘deep and meaningfuls’ about couple issues can turn into disagreements which leave you both feeling worse, not better. Fun activities are like glue.

Be flexible – let your relationship grow and adapt as you both change.

Share power – ensure that each of you feels that your opinion counts. Research shows that relationships where the female partner feels that she can influence her partner are the most successful.
SUCCESSFUL LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP: In a long-term relationship, it’s easy to assume you know all there is to know about your partner. But people change. Try to be aware of what is happening in your relationship and understand who your partner is and where they are at.

Stay curious about, but respectful of, each other. It is really important to stay up to date about your partner. Friendship is at the basis of all successful long-term relationships. Successful couples tend to be realists who recognise that a relationship will go through ups and downs.

THINGS TO REMEMBER: A good relationship doesn’t just happen – you have to work at it.

All couples experience problems and challenges in their relationships.

There are many things you can do to help build healthy and happy relationships and prepare for the challenges along the way.

Relationships change. You need to be aware of how they are changing and adapt to those changes.

If problems become too difficult or complex, consider seeking the help of a counsellor.

RomanceRe: Guyz Don't Ever Marry A Girl That You Have Not Had Sex With by Laposky: 7:32pm On Dec 20, 2013
@Op while I subscribe to most of d above stated reasons why one shouldn't wed a lady without having a feel of what n how she taste like, I do not think having sex with a lady before marriage is d only yardstick for knowing whether d both of u can be compatible or not. Though sex is of paramount importance in all rship but it shouldn't be d ultimate. After Most of our parents never had premarital sex to ascertain whether they can be compartible or not n yet their union turned out to be solid n they've been living happily. Marriages of these days even after all d testings n pre-marital sex before marriage, they never last. So many cases of divorce abound in these our generation. The most important thing is to pray for God's direction and will before venturing into any union at all.
