Many are hooked into a business that was once booming but now no longer making profit.
I read a book that personally changed my perceptive on business. It gives you deep insight into what is ahead in your sector and ability to make a smooth change before austerity catches up with your line of business. This book will enrich you and you will thank God for me. If you want it drop me a mail on: talk2wiseman01@yahoo.com

Jobs/VacanciesRe: 10 Mistakes Job Seekers Make … And How to Avoid Them by mabeni(m):
CrazyMan:
Many people make significant job search mistakes and never even know about it. These blunders are easy to make, and they can cost you the job offer.

Below, I reveal 10 of the biggest mistakes, and explain how to avoid them.



Mistake #1: Ignoring Online Job Postings:

Ignoring job postings is a huge mistake. Some of the best chances for jobs from ads are on job websites and web sites of the specific companies you wish to work for.


Mistake #2: Looking Only for Job Openings:

Searching only for companies with “openings” is an obsolete job hunting method. The best jobs are rarely listed “vacancies” or “openings.” Rather, many good positions are created for the candidate, often at the interview. The key is to shift your focus from “openings” to “opportunities” (which exist nearly everywhere). Remember: every company is hiring all the time, if you have what they need when they need it!


Mistake #3: Ineffective Networking:

Networking should be the primary focus of every job search – occupying about 90% of your time. However, I find that most people go about it the wrong way – by talking too much and by asking for jobs. The best networkers are big listeners rather than big talkers. They have a clear agenda, and are not shy about asking for feedback and guidance. Remember: networking is more about giving than it is about taking, so always come from an attitude of generosity.


Mistake #4:  Leaving Yourself Open to Too Many Kinds of Jobs:

Another key to a successful job search is to focus on finding the RIGHT job – not “just any job.” Critical factors to consider include satisfaction, growth potential, location, cultural fit, great co-workers, a pleasing environment and competitive compensation. When the job market is really tough, it’s imperative to be more focused than ever.


Mistake #5:  Being Unplanned in Your Search:

Most people spend more time planning a vacation than planning a job search. I suggest the following tips to conduct a proper job search: a well-thought out methodology, daily solitude and planning, space in the home dedicated to the search, a tracking tool to measure your progress, and a system for accountability.


Mistake #6:  Doing it Alone:

You pay a mechanic to change your oil; an attorney to create an estate plan. Why would you not invest in professional help with your job search? Career Coaches provide objective guidance, help you articulate your value, and provide a proven system for job search success. Many offer excellent advice on salary negotiations – often exceeding the job seeker’s expectations. If you can’t afford a Career Coach, take advantage of low-cost or free support from non-profit groups, universities, municipal programs, and so forth.


Mistake #7:  Letting Others Control Your Job Search:

I suggest working with a small selection of professional recruiters – they can serve an important role in your search. But you’ll need to maintain control over the whole process. Of course, it is best to conduct your own research and target the right companies yourself. Remember: only you can “sell yourself” effectively and land a job.


Mistake #8:  Not Preparing Well Enough for Job Interviews:

When you boil it down, all job interviews are comprised of five basic elements: articulating your value, conveying your knowledge of the company, asking intelligent questions, negotiating compensation, and following-through. Each of these items has to be practiced in advance, so you can “ace” the job interview. “Winging it” just won’t do! Also, be sure to do extensive research on the company and the interviewer ahead of time.


Mistake #9:  Not Knowing Your Market Value:

You must research and assess your value in the marketplace, so you’ll be able to negotiate effectively. Never disclose your salary requirements – always get the employer to name the salary or range first. The time to talk money is when the employer has made it clear that you are their top candidate, and after they make an offer.

It is very easy for even the savviest of job seekers to make these mistakes. By learning how to navigate these potential pitfalls from the outset, your job search will be more productive and yield more positive results!

Not true. Anything can bring about distraction, even the typical Bible we carry to church can.

Mabeni, it's no crime as long as it serves its purpose while in church. Not necessarily smartphones alone. I remember I used to have a Franklin electronic Bible (more like an e-organizer) several years back. It served its purpose perfectly well and never hindered my study sessions.

The essence of the Bible/Scripture is not in holding or carrying to church every Sunday. It's being in the heart. This is why the Bible instructs that "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth..." (Josh 1:cool, "Study to show yourselves approved unto God...", and "Let the word of God dwell richly in you" among many other verses are provided.
nice response. Thanks.

why?
Christianity EtcIs It Adviceable Using Smartphones Bible In The Church? by mabeni(op): 2:54pm On Aug 11, 2015
Brothers and Sisters,
Is it common for your congregation to
read the Word during services with a
smartphone or tablet or some other
device with a screen? For me, I have a
tablet that has the Bible on it but have
never felt right to bring it to Church.
As technology grows, will our children
have the discipline to dive into God's
Word with a smartphone or tablet? Or will
it be too much of a distraction?


In other words, what's anybody using smartphones Bible in the church regarded as?

badboy:
Expatiate more on where your passion lies...is it in delivering beautiful POP jobs or carrying out the installation yourself? These are two different things. In any case, for both, you must have a good idea of the fundamentals and be well grounded to partake in this field. The most pragmatic way you will get this by making friends with POP installers so you learn on their job. Those from Togo and Cotonou are good options. Will be much cheaper for you and you will have first hand experience. Trust me ...was once in your shoes. Where are you based?
the installation. And I based in Lagos

to save her name like that? I am thinking of
