God will help us all.

Nice one OP. I'll like to know you.

glothaddy:
as I write it, am so frustrated and depression has taken over. graduated 4 years ago, served and got a job of direct sales associate with one the outsourcing companies, I lost he job did year like 6 months ago and since then it has been from one interview to another wit no job yet. dis morning I felt so frustrated cos I could not afford #500 to go for an interview. I feel so depress right nw. please I need help.

Don't worry sister, God will surely help you.

OP, over to you.

Ignore your bills and bank statements

Ignorance is not bliss in this case. While you have your head buried in the sand, a storm is brewing all around you and you can’t ignore it forever. Facing the reality of your situation is the only way to make the most of it and try to get out of it.

Overdraft your checking account. Letting your account balance become negative will make your financial situation worse. Not only will you face overdraft fees, when you finally deposit money into your checking account it will be eaten by the negative balance. Work hard to keep your balance in the positive.

Pay your bills late .

Late fees add up and eat into the money you do have. If you become too delinquent, some services may be disconnected and you’ll have to pay the full balance due in addition to a reconnection fee. It’s easier, cheaper, and better for your credit score to just to stay current on the balance.

Pretend that you have more money than you do. If people think you have money, they’ll expect you to spend money. You don’t necessarily have to let people know the severity of your financial situation, but don’t pretend you have money to blow when you don’t (even to yourself).

Quit your job without having another one lined up . At least with another job in queue, you won’t have a lapse in pay. Quitting without another job is risky.

Spend your spare time doing something unproductive. There are so many things you could do during your spare time to make more money—directly or indirectly. For example, you could get a part-time job, learn a money-making hobby, or study to improve your skills so you can demand more money.

Lie to your spouse about the money. It’s often said that money is one of the biggest causes of divorce. Keeping secrets about money will probably cause more harm than good.

Spend your savings or emergency fund on things that aren’t emergencies. If you have savings, make it last as long as possible. Be very conscious about what you’re withdrawing money for. Make sure it’s for necessary expenses and not luxuries.

Waste electricity or water. These are two utility services whose price you can control. Turn off lights you’re not using. Don’t let the water run. Use surge protectors and turn them off when you’re not using those products. Wash your clothes in cold water. Save as much money as you can on these expenses.

Take on new, recurring expenses. At this point, your financial situation is too uncertain to take on new responsibilities.

Drive places unnecessarily. Combine errands and minimize your driving time to save money on fuel. You can also take public transportation, walk, carpool, or ride a bike to reduce the amount of money you spend on gas.

Go on expensive dates. There are plenty of ideas for cheap and free dates—like a movie from the library (yes, they have those!), popcorn, and wine. You don’t have to break the bank every time you go out—and if you do, you should probably reconsider the person you’re dating.

Pay for subscription services. Subscription services are usually unnecessary extras. Cancel recurring expenses for things like Data bundles etc. Yes, you’ll have to get used to life without your services but you will also save money.

Pay to get your car washed, your house cleaned, or your grass cut (unless perhaps you don’t own a lawnmower). Don’t pay someone else to do things you can do yourself. Paying someone may save a little time and work, but when you’re financially strapped, you just can’t afford to pay for these things. If you can barter for them, that’s a different story.

Rule out part-time work. Make some extra money if you can.

Consider getting a part-time job in the evenings or weekends. If you manage it well, the extra money can help pull you out of your financial hole.

Buy expensive gifts – or any gift. If holidays, birthdays, or other occasions are coming up, consider your budget before you go shopping. Assess how much you can spend without completely disrupting your bank balance. If you can’t afford to buy anything, put some thought into a gift you can make.

Make frequent hair, nail, or spa appointments. You can do your own nails and give yourself a facial for a fraction of the cost that you’d pay a professional. You may not necessarily be able to give yourself a haircut, but you can go a little longer between trims, e.g. a month or two instead of bi-weekly.

Grab coffee from anywhere other than your kitchen or the break room at work. Your NGN500-cup-a-day habit has to go if you’re broke – that’s more than 15,000 a month if you buy a cup everyday.

And if you buy more than one a day, you’re spending a lot of money. You could buy a single cup brewing system for about that much and save tons of money every month thereafter.

Buy new electronic devices. You barely have time to break in a device before there’s a newer one, more lightweight and with a better screen.

Resist the temptation to keep up with the latest gadgets. The changes are usually so minor that you really don’t get a significant benefit by switching to a newer version.

Buy apps, games, or extras for the devices you already have. Ahem, candy crush addicts. It’s so easy to buy apps; you don’t even realize you’re spending money because it’s either added to your phone bill, charged to your credit card, or deducted from your bank account. Don’t try to minimize what you spend on apps, just don’t spend anything at all.

Take out a loan for a new car, or for any other reason. If you’re broke, you can’t afford another monthly payment and that’s exactly what you’re adding to your plate when you take out a loan.

Go on an expensive vacation. You’re broke, you can’t afford a vacation. If you have money saved up for a vacation, there’s probably something more pressing you could spend that money on—like past due bills or car repairs, for example.

Loan money to someone else, or cosign for them. Having no money for yourself means you also don’t have money for anyone else. Cosigning is included here because cosigning a loan is essentially accepting the responsibility for the monthly payment if the other signer can’t make it.

Spend money on non-necessities. One of the hardest things to do, when you’re broke especially, is to rein in your spending and keep it only to the things you need. It’s important, however, to keep your spending to a minimum until you can afford to spend more.

Eat at restaurants. Buy groceries and prepare your meals at home.

Take your lunch to work, even if it means having leftovers.

Have cable television. Many networks let you watch the shows online for free a day or two after the show airs. That’s a good way to stay up to date with your favorite shows without the extra cost.

Go partying with your friends. You simply can’t afford to do this if you’re broke—unless you’re not paying a cover and somehow getting free drinks. Find a less expensive form of entertainment and fun.

Pay more than the minimum on your credit cards. Normally, the advice would be to pay more than the minimum so you can pay off your card balances. However, if you’re struggling financially, you can cut back on payments, temporarily, so make the most of your money.

Move to a more expensive apartment. Keep your living expenses as low as possible. If your lease at your current residence is nearing its end, talk to your landlord about renewing it at the same rate (or a lower rate if you’ve been a good tenant.)

No one wants to be broke. It’s stressful, uncomfortable, and counterproductive to achieving your financial goals. While there may be some things outside of your control, like whether your boss is willing to give you a raise, there are some things you can control.

You can unknowingly prolong your financial lull by continuing to make bad financial decisions, i.e. spending money when you should instead be cutting back your spending.

You may try to justify certain purchases, rationalizing that you “need” it or that life will be too uncomfortable without it. But, more often than not, you’ll be just fine without those extra purchases. Check out a list of things you shouldn’t do when you’re broke.

God is in control.

Sent you a PM. Lets talk, i'm highly interested.

chillingbabe:
On a cool day,she was relaxing, then she received a facebook friend request from someone she doesn't know. She viewed the profile,then accepted randomly without thinking of anything..
The next day,she got an invite for an interview in a company. The company name seemed familiar cos she realised she saw it somewhere,the guy that sent her a Facebook request works for the company as the Human resource manager. She attended the interview, lo and behold her interviewer was the hr manager that added her on facebook. She acted normally without acting like the face seemed familiar.
My questions are as follows:-
1) Was she supposed to act like the face seemed familiar and even go to the extent of saying "I recently accepted a Facebook request from you".
2) Why did he choose to add her on facebook before sending her an invite for interview?
3) Does it mean he would consider her?
4) Can she chat him up on Facebook saying "you interviewed me,hope i'll be offered the jobthing,etc" and also act friendly or she should just forget about the whole thing and pray she gets it.

Matured responds please...Thanks

Well, different folks in the HR departments of most firms today use different means to get the right candidate (s).

To your questions,
1. She was supposed to act "Normal" without putting forward any form of familiarity. A friend of mine was once interviewing a friend of his for a role. He went to the extent of asking harder questions just to prove to the panel he was not gonna be biased and his friend got the job. If it is for a SOCIAL MEDIA ROLES, she might go to the extent of saying she has a large friends list in order to promote her brand or a firm's brand and that she "recently accepted a Facebook request from some people even a day before". That's more like it.
2. He might want to test how often she socializes on Social Media and also, to get a detailed info from her profile. Only your friends on facebook can see some details on your profile anyway.
3. NO!NO!NO! It doesn't mean at all but might play a part, Guys ehnn
4. She may Try that at her own detriment, that's probably why the guy did that. If she begins to lobby and try to pressure the guy to considering her, then she is done for as the guy would always demand whatever from her after she joins the firm. Let her keep her cool, maintain her integrity and allow God help her out.

My piece for your friend, (****which might be you personally....smiles)

[size=16pt]Professional Summaries[/size]

Many resumes have a short summary at the top. In LinkedIn, profiles also have the option of opening with a summary. Many job seekers take advantage of this extra space and the opportunity to frame their background for the reader, essentially priming the reader in advance for what you want them to pick up. Too many job seekers don’t include a summary and miss the chance to categorize their experience in a way that makes patterns and themes evident. A summary can list out industry specialties or special skills. Brand names in a summary convey instant credibility without the reader having to dig through years of information. In LinkedIn, you might even choose to tell your story in your summary, engaging the otherwise casual skimmer and giving a window into how you got into your field or what you have uniquely accomplished.


[size=16pt]Voicemail Message[/size]

You want a clear and concise voicemail message so I don’t recommend putting a lot of information on your message. But how crisply you state your name and phone number and how welcoming your tone is give the listener a hint of your professional presence. Do you sound relaxed, energetic, and confident? Yes, you hear all that in a voicemail message. Keep these issues in mind, too, when you’re leaving a voicemail for someone!

[size=16pt]Anchor Text In Your Resume[/size]

By anchor text, I mean embedding a hyperlink into your text so that if a reader chooses to get more information you have made it easily accessible. You can anchor text your employer names to the company websites. For a lesser-known employer, this provides some background information if the reader wants it. You can anchor text publications that you list to where your articles are stored online. If a project resulted in a report or PowerPoint you have made available in your web portfolio, you can anchor text your mention of the project. If you list your social media handles on your resume, anchor text directly to your profiles.

These subtle opportunities to brand yourself are easily implemented if you just remember to take advantage of all the times you are communicating with your network – email, phone, social media….Remember, the network for your job search isn’t just prospective employers but also personal contacts who might yield professional leads. Every time you send an email, your signature can be sending out your resume as a tiny hyperlink below your name. Every time you leave a message, you leave a clue into your communication skills and presence. Every time your profile comes up in a search, your picture comes up too. Brand the small details too!

[size=16pt]Online Picture[/size]

You don’t have to get a professional headshot taken (though it certainly helps if you do media appearances or speaking or other thought leadership). Your online picture comes up in profiles, in Internet searches, and sometimes in email exchanges. A friend once worked at a firm that used Gmail as its email exchange, so pictures that had been uploaded into other Gmail accounts sometimes showed up as that person’s avatar (for instance, if someone also used Gmail personally). One person had a picture where she was too casually dressed, and it looked unprofessional. I don’t know that she even realized this picture would come up. Make sure you check the images that are attached to your various profiles, email clients, and even comment/ review forums.

[size=16pt]Email Signature[/size]

At a minimum you want your full name, phone number and email address so that your recipients can easily grab your contact information. (I can’t tell you how many candidate emails I received as a recruiter with first names only!). You also want a link to your online profile (and personal website if you have one). If you have been cited in major media, you can include a link to your media page. If you have been published, you can link to your article or book. This additional information encourages your recipients to learn more about you and makes it easy for them to check you out.



Email signature do's:

1. Name. People often don't have any email signature, which can make it difficult for the recipient to know who the message is from. Include your first and last name.

2. Telephone number. During a job search, recruiters and hiring managers will want to communicate with you over the phone. Make it easy for them to reach out to you by including it in your email signature. And be sure you have set up your voice mail with a professional and pleasant greeting.

3. LinkedIn profile. Including a link to your LinkedIn profile makes it easier for people to learn more about you. You can't make them click through, but it is there in case there is interest. Rather than inserting the full Web address, which can look long and messy, hyperlink your LinkedIn URL to a small LinkedIn icon or simply the word "LinkedIn."

4. Profession, title or tag line. Depending on your employment situation, use some combination of professional identifiers. If you are changing careers, don't list your current occupation, instead use a tag line or branding statement that conveys your value to a potential future employer.

5. Personal website. If you have an online portfolio, blog or personal website that you want people to know about, include the link. It's always helpful to describe what you are linking to. For example, hyperlink to a short description, such as "Online Portfolio," "Personal Blog – Customer Service Musings" or "My Infographic Resume." You can link to almost any online source you want to draw attention to.

On the other hand, there is information you don't want to include in your email signature because it's irrelevant, makes you look silly or could flag your email as spam. Here's what to avoid including in your personal emails.

Email signature don'ts:

1. Mailing address. Protect yourself. No one needs to know your physical location. Businesses may use this information, but it doesn't pose the same type of privacy violation.

2. Email address. Including your email address in your email is redundant. If you've sent someone an email, he has your email address. Limit the information that you include in your signature to keep it uncluttered and provide only the most important information.

3. Photos or logos. Using logos or icons sparingly isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, images add to the size of your email and may make loading your email slow and difficult for email systems. Using large file sizes could also result in your email ending up in the spam folder and most people do not regularly look at their spam.

4. Default mobile signature. Don't overlook the signature on your mobile device. Often the default signature is an advertisement for your phone's manufacturer. Instead, change the setting to promote your name or delete the automated signature all together.

One last word of wisdom. Test how your email will look to others by sending to Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook accounts to see how your signature looks on these different email providers.

This period is a busy time for recruiting. Companies are pushing to get hiring done before headcount disappears in year-end (or to get a jump on next year’s projects). Individuals are coming back into work mode after the lazy days of summer. So there is more opportunity but also more competition, which taken together makes a lot more noise to cut through. Of course, you want to make sure your resume, online profile, and networking pitch are in good working order. But you want to maximize every opportunity to highlight your value, not just the obvious. Here are five ways you can build your brand that most job seekers overlook:
