D worst is submitting ur expo with ur answer sheet

Its no longer news that there are not enough jobs out there for graduates. Its gradually becoming more possible for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a graduate to get a job immediately after graduation and the one year compulsory "service".
It has become so bad that O'level is gradually fading out and becoming useless as jobs meant for this level are being rushed for by OND and even degree holders atimes. Me for instance, the first job I had to do was a teaching job which paid me a paltry #15000/month. Ordinarily, this kind of job should be done by Olevel holders.
During the course of my job hunt, I attended a lot of interviews, both genuine and scam ones. I learned a lot cos as they say, experience is the best teacher! I made a lot of mistakes and also saw other job seekers make a whole lot of mistakes too, so I learned first hand, what interviews are usually all about. So I decided to share a little about the nitty-gritty of preparing and sitting for an interview in Nigeria from my own experience. Since the jobs are scarce, we should really make sure we nail it on the first few interviews we attend.
Now to the tips:
1. Package an easy to read resume: No need to use those big big and popular phrases like I'm a team player. Most employers know dat people just smuggle those phrases and they've become too old. If u must use them, back dem up with how you've demonstrated such traits in the past. Highlight ur job experience if u have one and also ur education. Keep it smart and simple, no ambiguity.

2. Study your resume: Make sure you're conversant with every detail on your CV. Memorise your career objective if you have one. There's nothing as embarassing as not being able to recite ur career objective when asked to. Read every detail on ur CV and know them like the palm ur hands.

3. You must know how to respond to the question "May we know you?": Almost all the interviews I attended, I was asked that question and its usually the first question. Its a brief summary of your CV starting fromyour name.

4.Decide the least salary you will earn: This is important because almost all the interviewers will ask this question. Based on the level of the company, the position and other factors, its good to have a figure in mind that you cannot go lower than. This is to avoid feeling like a fool after you've been hired and you realise that you were cheated.

5. Get some info about the company: They are likely to ask a question about the company and it will be a shame not to know the company one is aspiring to work with.


Let me stop here for now. I will share more later

6. Be well dressed and groomed: Wear a corporate dress and make sure it is well ironed. Polish your shoes and put on a tie if you don't have a suit. Have a neat haircut or hairdo for ladies. It increases your confidence and also raises your value in the eyes of the employers. First impression matters a lot and you're more likely to get a good offer if you look polished and professional.

7. Smile: Don't frown your face. Smile when meeting the interviewers and try to be confident even if you're scared, don't show it.

8. See interviews as an interaction and not an exam: The problem most times is dat we see interviews as a question and answer session where the interviewer must be asking and we will be answering. It shouldn't be like that. Atimes, in interviews I'm usually the first person to ask a question. For instance asking "How is work?" gives me the needed confidence to carry on till the end.

Good for dem
It may not work for some other person
Infact its working against so many people

Rahmas: Just my opinion, I don't take things online too serious. Have a lovely night.

Ok dear, sleep well

andromida: I would fall in love with a lovely woman and do stuffs with her.

If I hear

truerebel: But this is not always true.

We do include phone numbers in our emails and we are a fashion company.
The reason we include phone numbers in our emails is because sometimes prospective employees may need help with some information in the email sent or with locating the office. Since we are a small company with less than 50 staffs we can afford to be called and give direction or any other clarifications.

Yea there's nothing wrong in including phone numbers
But d reason why they do so is for easy identification of d person who invited you cos most of dem are gnld
I wouldn't honor an interview by a company that hides its identity even if they include a phone number



By GEORGE ONYEJIUWA, Owerri on August 6, 2014 · 

COVER

The Imo State Government has denied ever giving a dud cheque of N50 million to the Catholic Archbishop of Owerri, Most Revd. Anthony Obinna, describing the allegation by a popular priest, Fr. Ejike Mbaka, as a calculated attempt to blackmail Governor Rochas Okorocha and the government of the state.

This was just as the Director of Social Communications of the Catholic Archdiocese of Owerri, Fr. George Nwachukwu, said Mbaka could not speak on behalf of the diocese as he was neither a spokesperson of Archbishop Obinna nor a priest of the diocese.

Mbaka was alleged to have said on Sunday during a thanksgiving by former governor of the state, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, at the Christ The King Church Parish, Enugu, that Governor Okorocha gave the Archbishop of Owerri Archdiocese, Anthony Obinna, N50 million dud cheque.

But, in a statement, signed by Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, senior special assistant (Media) to Governor Okorocha , the government dismissed the priest’s allegation as spurious and an unholy blackmail against Okorocha and the government of the state.

The statement read in part: “Let us simply aver and solemnly too, that the claim is not only false, but spurious and curious in many respects. There is no iota of truth in the allegation.  You can call it an ‘unholy blackmail’ taking into account the person behind it.

We challenge Mbaka to go beyond his claim and provide the proofs since cheques are not invisible objects. With this latest blackmail, Nigerians of goodwill would now begin to appreciate the orchestrated and politically motivated lies being unleashed against Governor Okorocha’s government by those desperate to take over power from him in 2015.”

The government wondered what Mbaka wanted because he was neither a priest in Imo nor diocesan priest of Owerri Catholic Archdiocese.

“It is important to also state that since the false claim on the N50 million dud cheque did not come from the Archbishop of Owerri Archdiocese, Anthony Obinna, or from any of the priests in the archdiocese, it becomes reasonable for us to make do with our candid denial. But honestly it hurts and calls for a lot of concern when a priest, a well known one for that matter, begins to feed innocent flocks with induced lies.

“It is also necessary to inform the general public that the action involving cheques between the Imo State Government and the Catholic Archdiocese of Owerri was in 2012.  And those issued the cheques have not complained since that 2012. And in 2014, Mbaka is the one talking about the cheques and when Governor Okorocha’s predecessor, Chief Ohakim came on a thanksgiving ceremony. This could explain where Mbaka was coming from,” Imo government stated. When contacted on the dud cheque issue, the Director of Social Communications of the Owerri Catholic Archbishop, Fr. George Nwachukwu. said the archdiocese had not issued an official statement on the matter and that it was not the responsibility of Mbaka to speak on behalf of the archdiocese as he was neither a spokesman of Archbishop Obinna nor a priest in the diocese.

“We love Mbaka for his gift of healing and we want him to continue with that, but since the Owerri Archdiocese has not made an official statement on the alleged matter, it is not his responsibility to speak because he is not the official spokesman of the archbishop or the diocese. Again, he is not a priest in the diocese; so, it will not be wise for him to interfere,” Nwachukwu said.

You know how it is.
 
Early on in life you learn its importance.

 As you learn about job-hunting, its value again gains prominence.

 And now, as you are about to start at a new job, it reaches a critical state.

What is it?

 It is the impact of first impressions. In categorizing people, we all take shortcuts, and first impressions about people often turn into long-term perceptions and reputations -- which are good for people who make positive first impressions (the halo effect), but bad for people who make negative first impressions.

 

"I think the early days are when your boss and colleagues form the most lasting impressions about you," observes Ann Marie Russell, a program coordinator with AmeriCorps. "This is when they make assessments about your 'typical' behavior -- the 'type' of person you are. If you have any attendance/punctuality issues in the first few days or weeks, you've already lost a significant battle -- their confidence in you. People will take you as seriously as you seem to take yourself -- and your work," says Russell, a psychology grad from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

 

And in the workplace, during those first few early days where you are meeting everyone -- and everyone is meeting you -- first impressions about you and your future potential can make a major impact on your future success with the organization.

 

"You have to realize that first impressions are remembered," says a general-business major, "and even if you talk to someone who isn't related to your job . . . they may know someone who is. Watch what you say and do. Things can come back to haunt you."

 

Not to worry, though; in most situations, employers don't expect you to knock their socks off or hit homeruns during those first few weeks. Most employers realize that there is a learning curve for most positions. So, there is often an unofficial grace period while you settle into your job.

 

How can you improve your chances for making a great first impression when you're starting a new job? Here are 20 tips -- along with some comments and suggestions from job-seekers who have been there -- to help you make a great impression.

 

Have a Positive Attitude
Nothing works better -- in all situations -- than having and expressing a positive attitude. Let your enthusiasm for being part of the team and the organization show to everyone you interact with. And always leave non-work problems at home.

 

Dress Professionally/Blend in With Co-Workers
You should never underestimate the importance of dressing professionally in your new job. And in the beginning, even if your department has casual days, you should dress professionally because you never know when you'll be called out to meet a top manager or key client. "Dress how you want people to perceive you because it plays a huge role in how you are initially treated," advises Desiree Devaney, a financial analyst with GE Capital Credit. "Perfectly groomed means efficient and reliable in work; unkempt means disorganized and therefore difficult to trust with different assignments. After awhile, people realize these things do not necessarily correspond, but initially, your looks and dress are your representation to them." (See lots more comments from rookie workers about dressing for success in our collection of entry-level quotes, How to Make the Best Impression in Your First Days on the Job.)

 

Show Your Team Spirit
You are now part of a work team, and teams work together to solve problems and get the job done. Show loyalty to your co-workers and focus more -- initially at least -- on sharing any recognition you get with the team. Always give credit to the team.

 

Learn Co-Workers' Names Quickly
No one expects you to have everyone's name down pat by the end of the first day or week, but if you are bad with names, now is the time to research some of the neat memory-aid tricks you can try to use. Certainly, as soon as possible, learn the names of every member of your team. And if you are in a situation in which you forget a person's name, the best solution is simply to apologize and ask the person's name again.

 

Ask Questions/Ask for Help
No one expects you to solve all the organization's problems on your first days on the job -- nor that you know everything -- so, relax a bit, and always ask questions or ask for help when you need it. Remember that it's better to ask before you've completed the task the wrong way and wasted all that time. "Be open-minded," suggests an English language and literature grad. "I think when you are just starting out, it is easy to feel somewhat competitive; you may feel that you have something to prove. In effect, that kind of thinking will probably land you in the unemployment line again. Be co-operative, LISTEN, ask questions -- no one expects you to know everything -- and communicate openly with colleagues and supervisors."

 

Take Notes/Go to Orientation
Unless you have a photographic memory -- and few of us do -- consider taking notes on all the various systems and rules of the organization. And no matter how boring they may sound, attend all orientation sessions. Nothing gets old faster than someone repeatedly asking how something works; such behavior shows a lack of attention to detail.

 

Be a Self-Starter; Take Initiative
In most situations, in your first days on the job, you will be given small doses of work -- to let you get your feet wet. As you finish assignments and are ready to handle a bigger workload, take the initiative and ask for more assignments. Whatever you do, don't just sit there waiting for your next project. Agrees Ali von Staudach, senior account executive for CNET Networks, "Be proactive. Don't wait for an assignment. Stick up your hand and ask for something to do," advises von Staudach, a communication studies grad.

 

"Volunteer for things even though you don't know how to do it or what needs to be done to accomplish it," suggests Stephen Magennis, whose first job out of college was as a benefits analyst for Hewitt Associates, Orlando, FL. "There will be people [who need] help, and they will appreciate your efforts to start making an immediate impact. Many times, there may be some tasks that you can accomplish with a little guidance, which will probably free up time for someone who needs to work on more important items," Magennis offers.

 

Discover Everything About Your New Employer
In theory, you should have already done your homework during the interviewing process, but there is always more to learn now that you are on the inside. "Get an employee handbook" exhorts a MBA grad with an information-technology concentration. "Don't act or think you know more about everything than your peers." In addition, gather all those reports and company literature and read up and become an expert on your organization.

 

Work Full Days
"Be on time, come in early, stay a little later," suggests von Staudach. "Even though I have a 9 to 5 job, it has been expressed to my co-workers and me that our director expects us to be in at 8:30 and stay past 5 p.m. because it looks like we are go-getters and into our jobs." There's nothing that can affect your reputation faster than routinely coming into work late or leaving work early. Especially in these first days/weeks on the job, be sure you get to work early and leave no earlier than when the majority of your co-workers leave. An engineering grad adds, "Be dedicated and flexible. Once you have established yourself, you can leave early, go out for lunch, shift your hours, or take work home with you. But in the beginning, be totally dedicated to being there all the time and picking up as much as you can possibly handle."

 

Establish a Good Attendance Record
Just as with working full days, it's important to show up to work every day and establish a good attendance record. Yes, there will be emergencies, and yes, you may get sick, but as best you can, try to make it to work every day during those first weeks/months on the job.

 

Avoid Office Politics and Gossip
As with any social organization, the workplace is full of rumors and gossip. Your mission is to keep your nose clean of all of it -- and be sure not to associate too often with the office gossips or risk having your image associated with them. "DO NOT get involved in any trash talking around the office," says an English education grad. "Don't -- repeat -- don't solicit gossip."

 

Magennis agrees: "Stay out of the office politics for as long as possible," he says. "It's inevitable that you will be exposed to them sooner or later, and you will most likely participate in them as well as it's human nature. But stay out of the game for the first few months."

 

Keep Personal Business on Company Time to a Minimum
Studies show that just about everyone conducts some amount of personal business on company time -- checking email, making dinner reservations, buying stuff online. Your goal is to keep your personal business to a minimum and stay focused on work.

 

Take Advantage of After-Hours Activities
Many organizations have formal or informal after-hour activities, such as sports leagues. Get involved -- even if only as a cheerleader -- because these types of activities are great ways to bond with your co-workers. Do be on your best behavior during these outside-work activities, though. "If attending happy hours with co-workers, never drink more than one drink," suggests Anne Johnson, senior corporate relations coordinator for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Johnson, an economics grad from the University of Dallas, goes on to recall, "A co-worker that started about four months after me came to a happy hour with us and had too much to drink. Now, no one will invite her again. You don't want to make a stupid mistake like that."

 

Listen More than Talk
"Listen, Listen, Listen ... don't act like a know-it-all right off the bat," cautions one entry-level worker. "The idea is to communicate that you have some very marketable skills and you are here to learn and apply your skills to help the organization achieve success." One of the hardest skills to learn for some of us -- especially extraverts -- is that, when we are new to the organization, it's better to listen then talk. You don't want to get the reputation as the office know-it-all -- or worse, someone who always has to have the limelight. If you have a legitimate contribution, make it, but if not, do more listening and absorbing those first days on the job.

 

Track Accomplishments
As we say repeatedly throughout Quintessential Careers, it's up to you to track your accomplishments; no one else will do it for you. Tracking your accomplishments is great for any number of reasons -- for your personal satisfaction, for raise and promotion meetings, and for future job-hunting. To ensure that you stay on top of tracking your accomplishments, read our article, For Job-Hunting Success: Track and Leverage Your Accomplishments and use our Accomplishments Worksheet.

 

Show Appreciation
Nothing works like kindness and genuine appreciation. So, show your appreciation to everyone who helps you learn the ropes during your first days on the job -- from your co-workers to receptionists to the human resources folks.

 

Find a Mentor
You don't need to jump on this task your first day, but as you get introduced to senior staff, begin thinking about developing a mentoring relationship with a member of management above you -- and outside your department -- in the organization. Mentoring has numerous benefits, from a simple sounding board to someone who helps direct and advance your career within the organization.

 

Get and Stay Organized/Set Goals
If you're one of those super-organized people, this tip will be easy for you. The rest of us, however, need to develop a system for keeping track of meetings, appointments, assignments, and projects. Get an organizer or planner and keep on top of all your work. You certainly don't want to miss an early key deadline or meeting. And as you look ahead, set goals for yourself -- and then strive to achieve them. "I set goals for myself," notes a 2001 education grad. "I wanted to appear professional in my dress, posture, and speech. I wrote that goal on index cards and put them everywhere."

 

Keep Your Boss Informed -- of Everything
Your boss is not a mind-reader, so keep him/her informed of how you are doing. Especially in those early days, meet with your boss to further establish a rapport and relationship. "Request meetings with your boss on a consistent basis to review performance. Express interest in moving ahead and ask what else you can be doing to get to that next step," advises von Staudach. Be sure she/he knows you are a self-starter and hard-worker. Just don't bring the boss every little problem; instead, for minor issues, ask for help from co-workers.

 

Meet and Network with Key People in Organization & Profession
"Network," advises von Staudach. "Join an organization outside of work. Take additional classes to stay ahead in your field. Take advantage of every opportunity to network with key people in your organization and profession -- attend staff meetings, professional organization conferences, trade shows -- every opportunity to meet colleagues in your field. Just because you have a new job does not mean you suspend your network; constantly manage and grow your network of contacts because you never know when a problem or opportunity will arise. And networking with key people can also help you in finding one or more mentors.

 

Similarly, a psychology grad cautions against getting too comfortable: "Keep setting goals, networking, and keeping your ears open. Most college grads will switch positions or companies many times before the age of 30."

 

Final Thoughts on Your First Days on the Job

Being the newest member of the organization -- the rookie -- is both challenging and exciting. You'll be faced with both difficulties and opportunities, and your goal should be to make the most of all situations. These 20 tips should help provide you with some insights and direction as you approach that new job, but don't worry if you don't make a perfect first impression in those early days on the job -- few of us ever do. Remember to relax, keep your mind open, get to know your team members, and do your work -- and you should go far in making a lasting impression and reputation.

I found it helpful so I decided to share with fellow career starters and aspiring professionals

Get ready for marketing

Gunmen in the early hours of Monday abducted Mr. Iniokpoemi Benson, a younger brother to the Speaker of Bayelsa House of Assembly, Mr. Kombowei Benson.

Mr. Hilary Okpara, Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa, who confirmed the incident, said the victim was abducted at about 3 a.m. at his residence in Korokorosei village in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area.

Okpara told the News Agency of Nigeria in a telephone interview in Yenagoa that the police special anti-kidnap squad was on the trail of the kidnappers.

“We have got information on the incident, the DPO in the area and the Assistant Commissioner of Police have briefed me and the good thing is that we have known the direction the hoodlums are heading to so we shall round them up,” Okpara said.

The commissioner assured that the gunmen would be apprehended and the victim rescued.

NAN had gathered that Benson was the immediate past chairman of the community’s development committee.

The commissioner also commented on the fate of 90-year-old Madam Florentina Paulker, mother of Sen. Emmanuel Paulker representing Bayelsa Central, who was abducted in July.

“We have made some progress on that incident, we arrested one of them within hours and the next day we arrested three more subjects who are helping us and we are still making more arrests.

“It is a syndicate from what we have found out, we have cut off the communication link between the suspects in our custody and those holding the woman, so we are hoping that soon we shall free her,” he said.

Paulker, who was abducted on July 30 in Opollo area of Yenagoa, had been kidnapped in 2010, but was freed after eight days in captivity.

The security agents at the time killed one of the kidnappers in a shoot-out
