benalvino2:Story |
BTW, I’m still asking this important question: When is JFK Jr. gonna appear alongside Trump?? Does anyone know? |
MT:Biden absolutely nailed his closing argument |
benalvino2:Lol. Biden was referring to Trump’s comparison of himself to Abe Lincoln; hence why Biden said “Abraham Lincoln, here,...” |
For the record, I don’t support Buhari or his rubbish APC. And I’m definitely not saying the Nigerian army is full of angels |
A40:What he is alluding to, which is within the realm of reality, is that thugs may have acquired army uniforms and subsequently opened fire on the innocent protesters. I know the government and it’s agencies lie a lot, but for the Nigerian army to boldly say their men were not deployed to the Lekki toll gate, inspire of overwhelming evidence of people in army fatigues firing upon people, may be indicative that it was indeed thugs who carried out the operation. Definitely, people died at the Lekki toll gate; I’m not disputing that fact. Also, bear in mind that some people who were thought to have been killed by soldiers, were later confirmed to have been killed by thugs. However, what is in dispute is whether the NA indeed carried out the murder at the Lekki toll gate. |
If you head over to instablog9ja, some of the people who were purportedly “killed” by the army have come out to say they are alive. Hmm... |
benalvino2:Why would Democrats want to hurt Biden’s presidency in order for Harris to take over ![]() |
36.6 million votes have been cast, which is a staggering 248% increase over the same period in 2016!! |
This thread is ripe for a party ![]() |
I hope you all in Nigeria are safe. Its crystal clear that the Nigerian government does not value human life at all. |
Real Madrid are in soup |

Did anyone see JFK Jr. appearing with Trump since Saturday? |
Hmm.. I’ve also suspected the same thing because two prominent GOP Senators have, uncharacteristically, recently criticized Trump’s conduct in office

Ask Judge ACB any question, and she will reply: “I can’t offer an opinion on possible legal issues that may come before me as a justice; I would need to hear arguments from the litigants and read briefs and consult with my law clerks and talk to my colleagues and...” |

It’s not surprising that many people aren’t comfortable asking for more money once their job search has ended and they have an offer in front of them. If the salary is reasonable, they don’t want to jeopardize the opportunity now that they’ve gotten this far. And some job seekers are even more likely to feel this way than they did before COVID-19 hit. Even with a larger labor pool, companies still face competition from other businesses seeking the same candidates. That’s why the most in-demand professionals can still command competitive wages. If you have specialized skills and an impressive resume, you could be leaving money on the table if you don’t negotiate a salary offer. Thirty-six percent of managers recently surveyed by Robert Half said they are more likely to negotiate starting salary with new hires than they were a year ago; another 50% said they are as likely to. Still, it would be a mistake to bluster into the starting salary discussion without proper preparation. Most hiring managers will give you the opportunity to do some thinking about the offer and won’t expect an immediate answer. Here are eight tips for how to negotiate salary that can help you tactfully and confidently ask for what you want. 1. DO familiarize yourself with industry salary trends You need to enter a salary negotiation as informed as possible. Information is your strongest ally. To get a current, realistic view of the compensation landscape in your field. You’ll find the going rate for your position and experience level. Pay particular attention to the In-Demand Positions or Critical Roles sections of the Salary Guides. You can respond to the job offer more confidently if you find out the mean wage for the position you’re in the running for, or one of today’s hottest jobs. The employer may be having a tough time finding someone with enough skills and experience, and that opens the door to negotiate higher pay. Also of interest: While 44% of managers surveyed by Robert Half said they have made no changes to starting salaries, 28% have increased them since the pandemic started. 2. DON’T fail to build your case Once you receive the salary offer, don’t just counter with a higher number. Even if your research supports it, you’ll be more successful if you explain why you feel you deserve more. Highlight your strengths, detailing all the extras the firm would get from someone with your track record. Before negotiating, jot down concrete examples of how your skills and experience will benefit your new company’s bottom line. Possessing certifications or specialized technical skills, for example, can enhance your ability to do the job, so don’t fail to mention them. By tying your strengths to the role you’ll be taking on, you’ll make a solid case for why you should be paid more than the initial offer. 3. DON’T stretch the truth Complete honesty is paramount when negotiating salary. There’s no better way to see your offer withdrawn than having a hiring manager find out you invented a competing job offer or inflated your salaries from past jobs. 4. DO factor in perks and benefits Salary negotiations often include some give-and-take on employee perks and benefits. It may be less costly than a bump in salary for the employer to give ground on extra vacation days, flexible hours or, especially today, a work-from-home schedule. Consider what’s valuable to you and what would make an offer more attractive. If you’re considering multiple offers, remember to directly compare health insurance coverage, retirement savings plans and other benefits to make an informed decision. Also factor in perks such as professional development opportunities with the potential employer. 5. DON’T wing it This may sound like overkill to some people, but it’s a good idea to ask a friend or mentor to practice with you the conversation you’re likely to have with the hiring manager. The ideal partner is someone from the corporate world — a business-savvy person who can coach you on projecting confidence and answering unexpected questions. Running through your delivery several times can make you feel more sure of yourself heading into the salary discussion. 6. DO know when to wrap it up A reasonable employer won’t withdraw an offer just because you tried to negotiate. But dragging out the salary negotiation can frustrate the hiring manager and start out your relationship on a sour note. If the company can’t meet your requirements after a few discussions, respectfully withdraw and focus on opportunities that better match your compensation expectations. 7. DON’T forget to get everything in writing Once you and the hiring manager settle on a compensation package, ask for written documentation. Besides the salary amount, it should include any special arrangements such as a signing bonus or allowance for moving expenses and a job description and a list of responsibilities for your new role. Ensure the document is signed by both you and the employer. Some companies may provide this automatically as part of an employment contract, but if not, request some type of informal documentation. 8. DON’T make it only about you Remember that most managers don’t love negotiating, either. Your future employer is not your adversary. Keeping your tone positive when you’re negotiating salary and perks will help you more effectively navigate these discussions. If you’d like to get a better starting salary offer, you have to ask for it. Job seekers too often accept the first number that's put on the table. But whether the economy is strong or uncertain, employers are eager to bring on team members with specialized skills and expertise that can help them the most. Homework, tact and confidence are the keys to your success. https://www.roberthalf.com/blog/salaries-and-skills/be-ready-for-salary-negotiations-with-these-8-tips?utm_campaign=Candidate-Newsletter-US&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Newsletter&utm_content=%%%3dv(%40title)%3d%%&sfi=0033w00003rwE5vAAE |

A recent IBD poll shows that only roughly 2-3% of Americans have not made up their minds on who to vote for... The winner of the election will likely be the candidate that turns out his base the most |
PrideofLincoln1:Yes, the road to her confirmation is clear, but we still need her to answer some tough questions. Moreover, I’ll ask these additional questions “Courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life.”--Judge Amy Coney Barrett in her prepared statement to be delivered to the Senate's Committee on the Judiciary on Monday, October 12, 2020. So, Judge Barrett, does that mean that Supreme Court decisions such as: (a) Brown vs. Topeka, which ruled that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional; that black American citizens had no right to protest their apartheid existence in America and should not have been adjucated? or (b) Roe vs. Wade, which ruled that a woman had a right to an abortion? or (c) Obergefell vs. Hodges, which ruled that same-sex couples could indeed marry and be afforded the same rights and protections as "traditional" married couples? These are just three Supreme Court cases, "settled law" in the words of recently-minted Justice Brett Kavanaugh, that you would, if you could, remove legal protections from minorities, women, and the LGBTQ communities--just to name a few-- because you think that these historically aggrieved, marginalized and menaced people (by a hostile majority) had no standing to bring their cases before the law? |
Here are some questions I hope get asked of Judge Barrett: What exactly do you mean by "The Kingdom of God," and how do you perceive members of the bar building it, as you have advised graduates at Notre Dame? President Trump has stated that he wants you confirmed because he expects you to support him in suits involving the current election. Given this, why would you not recuse in any of these proceedings? You are on record opposing abortion. Do you feel that a woman's bodily autonomy is unconstitutional? Is this not a civil rights question? Do you feel that personal morality is a compelling force in making decisions that effect the lives of all people? You have said that you try to see through the eyes of those you are deciding against. What do you see through the eyes of someone who has been denied health care insurance because the protections of preexisting conditions have been stripped away with the ACA? Do you personally feel comfortable having your nomination and confirmation to the bench rushed through in the middle of election now in process? |
PrideofLincoln1:Yes!! They deserved the title, especially after going through the emotions of losing Kobe |
