Wow! I feel even more dejected with this. Thanks for your response still.

This is my profile:

GRE: 300; 149Q, 151V, AWA 4.0
IELTS: 8.0; my lowest bandscore is 7.5
B.Sc CGPA: 3.25/5.

Good evening house, I have been a silent reader of this room for quite a while and I have to say a big thank you to many here whose posts have really helped me in prepping for my GRE and IELTS. By God's grace I have recieved admission from Michigan Tech (MTU) for MS in Environmental Engineering but no funding. I have sent tons of emails for assistantship but nothing has helped. I will really appreciate it if anyone knows what I can do to secure funding because I don't have any cash for the programme and Naija don frustrate me already. Please help. Thank you.

Bro. I am interested. Is it possible to swap with LG L90 D410?

As a working mother, you are probably facing the challenge of juggling two unique and often demanding roles. Being a mother and a woman working towards career advancement are two full time jobs that require every ounce of concentration you can afford.

And if last year, you really didn't do so well as regards achieving work-life balance as a working mom, do not be dejected! But understand that this is achievable and a lot of other working mothers like you are walking this tight rope too, so you are not alone in this.

Here are some proven ways to help you achieve work-life balance as a working mom this year.

1. Cool off your burners
If you have made mistakes in parenting or at the workplace this past year, you have to forgive yourself first. Acknowledge your mistakes. Both change and conflict begin from within. Start by making new plans to achieve work-life balance as a working mom by first analysing why you are working. Are you working for extra income or fulfilling a desire to contribute to the world?

2. Plan and Commit
Write out your career and parenting goals once again. If you want to achieve work-life balance as a working mom, do not just say it, act it. It is important to have a specific definition of who you want to be. For instance, your goal could be to ensure your children eat more nutritious meals this new year and still write six great and engaging articles per week and publish them on your blog.

3. Connect and network
Every worthy endeavour has its moments of drudgery which may require some doses of external motivation.

For this, you need to connect with working mothers like yourself who may inspire you and also be able to help with their ideas and resources. You should also share your goal of achieving work-life balance as a working mom clearly with your partner and work out family arrangements. This is very important as higher stress levels are associated with dissatisfaction with partners’ commitment and family arrangements.

4. Be motivated, avoid comparisons
Do not compare your job with another woman’s or your kids with another. You should only look at others to be motivated and inspired. Making comparisons is detrimental to your achieving work-life balance as a working mom because you tend to judge yourself by the life/standard of another person which may leave you depressed in the end.

5. Be creative with home management
Creativity is essential, especially in this clime where there are not enough legislations and provisions for working mothers.

If you are not comfortable with a hired help, you could try family. Use holidays creatively for special ‘mommy’ times if you want to achieve work-life balance as a working mom. You can also try to move breakfast and/or dinner times so you can be present.

Being a mother and forging ahead in your career are both inherently demanding, but it is possible to strike a balance. You may fall off this tight rope a number of times but always get back on. That’s the attitude of winners.

Have fun and a great year ahead!

Yes! Finally!
You jumped up for joy at the receipt of the mail inviting you for the job interview. You are extremely elated. Who wouldn’t be? You cannot even remember the number of applications you sent in your CV for but evidently, it’s worth the effort.

Then slowly, fear began to creep in, taking the place of excitement because you really do not have an idea of what to do for interview success.
This is why I’ll take my time to digest the following paragraphs if I were you.

Research properly

Begin preparation as soon as possible. Research all the details about the organization, responsibilities tied to the position you applied for and work on how you can sell your strength during the interview process.

Research from the internet (Check the company’s site and other reputable sites to get information) and people that work in the company or the same industry. Know the kind of interviews the organization usually stage for candidates so it can guide you in the preparation process if you want to achieve interview success.

Hold mock sessions

If you can, prepare a list of possible interview questions and get a friend or family member to run a mock session with you. This would help calm your nerves and allow you to review the way and manner you speak and answer questions before the interview.

Dress appropriately

A key factor to achieving interview success is picking out your interview attire a few days earlier. Try it out. Ask friends and relatives for opinions. It advised that you dress to suit the job you applied for. Also find out the company’s policy on dressing.

Prepare your own questions

Yes! You really should. You may be given the opportunity to ask questions towards the tail end of the interview. Do not evade this section if you really want to achieve interview success. Ask questions. However, they must be meaningful.

You can ask question or seek clarification about what had been said during the interview or about important changes the industry might be going through. You will be seen as intelligent, confident, and up-to-date with happenings in the industry. That’s why you have to prepare.

But if you do not have a question, you could prepare a comment about recent happenings in the company or the industry or proffer solutions if it was a problem you pointed out.

Okay sir. To streamline, do you want brand copies or just the top Chinese manufacturer brands? I mean like Jiayu G3, Oppo, HDC Galaxy Note 2(Nvidi Tegra 3 Quad Core), Lenovo series etc?

can you please shed more light on the lenovo series? Maybe d ones you have or have come across.so i can do a little research! I really don't fancy d aoson stuffs.i have like 50k with me!

StarFlux: I can't post it on Nairaland, it doesn't work.

It is very odd.

the whole situation just saddens me.

StarFlux: That's strange. It dropped to 2Ghz? You sure the processor wasn't just throttling? Anyway, it seems like it's a lost cause. You sure the repair man didn't change the processor with a weaker one?

Anyway, there's not much else you can do it seems.

Need a model number.

its a compaq 615.wen i checked its stil the same AMD athlon ql-66 processor.ATI radeon graphics with 768mb as memory.infact i didn't know how d drop is possible too.

GET A NEW LAPTOP
I too had to dump my HP 9910us laptop
Changed to a new motherboard which failed after 3weeks
Its an HP problem seeing the video chips (mostly NVIDIA/some ATI) were not properly soldered to the motherboard
Dont beef AMD
HP's a$$ got sued like mad in the states over this issue which affected many HP laptop series
If you get a VERY GOOD technician to help reflow the chip(that is IF),you are good to go but I recommend you get another preferably DELL if you can afford it

yeah.the chip is ATI. OMG! A new system? I'm messed up? Do u know if its possible to swap dis defective one plus some cash? I took it to a technician; it worked for 3wks and den blacked out on monday!

StarFlux: Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot.

i saw that. when i googled d problem.i have attempted that too.it didn't work.i also discovered that wen i gave it to a guy in computer village to repair after d first blackout,d speed dropped from 2.2ghz to 2.0ghz.and barely 3wks after repair it is stll d same.i dnt just know wat to do!

StarFlux: Have you made sure you haven't disabled the screen by touching some key-shortcut? If not, the screen is probably dead. Could also mean there's a problem with the graphics chip.

yes.i've done all possible stuffs on it! It is just not coming up!

i have a compaq 615 laptop that refused to display anything on the screen even with d power and wireless lights on,the fan is also working! It runs on AMD athlon and i was told dat getting an AMD motherboard is a serious task.i changed d board after several months search and the i encountered d same problem after three weeks usage.how do i overcome this? Or should i just get a new laptop but the money is the issue coz i'm still a student and my income is limited.
