The person just gave you a blank cheque. That's exactly what he did.

You just have to think seriously about it and consider certain factors and peculiarities about your person before giving him a reply or choosing an organisation.

Just don't give a hasty reply whatever you do.

thank you brother.

Relationship is like the UEFA Champions league, you have to battle a lot of teams in your domain before you can qualify. The moment you qualify you have to fight your way through the group stage because other guys can send you packing.

Luckily if you are able to make it out of the group stage you have to engage some monitoring spirits because at times you might win gallantly in your hood and lose your girl to away goals runs.

My brother if you are lucky to get to the finals don't take it for granted because about 32 teams brothers started that race and here you going home with your trophy partner

this does not answer the question posed by the thread. It is a discourse for another time.

paulolee:

ah! Make I no lose the respect wey I get for the person wey dey run this moniker o.

Magnoliaa:
[color=deeppink]The moment he gives me all his ATM Cards oh. Tells me his pins and that he works for me. I should chop all his money. The point at which money enters sha and he begins to buy me things without prompting.[/color]

I definitely expected this because it's common. Smiles.

ThiagoKid:
Don't ask me jor

I am not getting married to those sex objects at all at all

then this thread is not for you. Don't derail it.

I started seeing nearness to the hospital, is the place motorable during rainy season and other nice comments that made this thread worth going through.

Spouses are not commodities we go to the market, point at and "fiam", we take them home for use.

There is the place of careful study, observation and spotting of red flags (let's just call it dating/courtship).

Now, to some it is when they can go through their phones freely and think that they have seen someone so real and true.

To some it is when the pastors say he/she is the one.

To others, it is as soon as the person they are disturbing finally yields to their greenlight. The list goes on and on.

The question now is, for you, at what stage would you (or did you) establish he/she is the one for you? Let's have an open tete-a-tete.

We all are reading.

Kobojunkiee:
So what happens when they claim they heard and married the one God willed for them only for it to end in bitter divorce much later?

They take it for granted that it will work because God has spoken, hence they fail to put in the hardwork necessary for it to work. Simple.

Lets keep this thread alive please

Good morning. I'm fresh off NYSC, anyone here who can help me with info on U.I Ibadan masters in political science should pls give me a mention

chatinent:
While courting, you were better halves. What happens after marriage?


What happens after a week living together? and months, years? What happens to forever?


Does the love remain the same? Does it fade by itself? Are both parties always striving to resurrect it?


Of course, I understand it is not advisable to plunge into marriage!

What is life like in marriage?

What happens during a quarrel?

Does a partner always prove they are right?

Are there complaints? Complaints like one person washing the plates, and the other making it more tedious? Are there arguments about how the WC is to be used?


How and when are responsibilities shared?



What about insecurity?
Does it come on its own? Are there hidden thoughts one's partner may be cheating always?


What are the main responsibilities to keep a woman/man forever young in their hearts? What are the major needs?

What can make a woman still look very good even after childbirth?

Should the husband also do minor chores?

What happens when she becomes pregnant?

What is the major emotional need?

How is trust built?

To wives and husbands, what do you call satisfaction in a husband/wife? What needs does he/she fulfills make you feel satisfied?

What would you ever wish for?

Does the care and love remain the same?



I need experienced persons (married couples probably) to clarify me.


I've been thinking about these questions of late.

These are deep questions!

Monday5:
Please help me make a Choice. I am finding difficult to make a choice right now. Thanks
Considering the Nigerian labour market now:
Studying Sociology in the University or
Business Administration HND, which one is preferable.

I will advice you go for sociology. With the right connection you can get a good job with it. Also, you can easily diversify at the level of Masters. Traveling abroad is also easy with it and opportunities abound there. But you see HND, getting a job with it may just be the beginning of your pain due to the level of discrimination against it. All new employees with degree will be placed above you. In all, pray very well before you take any step.

Good

Great you. This is very insightful. My question is, what achievement can a fresh graduate write? Or people in this category are not to bother with that aspect of their CV.

There are a thousand and one achievements A FRESH GRADUATE CAN WRITE OR HAVE at every given point in time.

They are deep seated right there, in your under graduate level, your NYSC Service year, in your extracurricular activities,you name it.

Take for example, during your NYSC service year, you Teach in a school, now this is an experience...

But...the challenge is,

1.WHAT did you do with your Teaching opportunity....and
2.How do you present your teaching experience as an achievement in a CV.

This is where my expertise comes to play.

I convert such experience to Exceptional Achievements, such that potential employers will come to see you as a capable hand that can provide solutions to their day to day problems.

great you sir. You are good at what you do.

JOpress3:
Since 2020 when Covid-19 Pandemic started, i have reviewed and rewritten over 100 CVs and Cover Letters, for nairalanders and other media. I have come to discover some Costly Mistakes common within the Fresh Graduates and the experience graduates alike and I feel I should share.

Unfortunately, this mistakes are visible to the eyes of only experts and employers. They are the core reasons why these applicants were not getting the frequent invites for interview they desired and why it has been difficult for the underemployed graduates to move from his low pay job, to a higher pay job that she desired.

Let’s get into the detail of these Costly Mistakes below..

#1. Poor Arrangement of information in CV

87 % of the 100 Cv i worked on, has poor arrangement of information in their CV. This sets of applicants did not understand the principle of strength and weakness.

So, how can they tackle this problem?.

Consider SWOT analysis. According to Wikipedia, “SWOT analysis is a Strategic Planning techniques used to help a person or organization identify Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats related to business competition or project planning”. No doubt you have competition in the labour market, in that job you wish to apply for. Therefore, it is your duty to identify your SWOT and position them to your advantage, if you must be ahead of your competitors.

So, what information can be classified your Strength or Opportunity, Weakness or Threats? For me, Information such as, Added academic qualification (Phd,Msc,MBa, etc), additional Certifications, Big brand Work Experience, and your achievements, will stand as my strength and opportunities. And, I will position them in my first page. While, information such as Personal data (Date of birth; where you are above the age in an advertised job, Your Marital Status, State of origin etc.) will be considered my Weakness and Threats and i will relocate them to the behind pages.

The idea is, you position your strength and opportunities in your first page so that they attract attention of your potential employers.

#2 Address of Residence

Common sense is not common practice, as basic as address of residence is, it has denied about 95% of applicants opportunities of getting their desired job.

Time has really change things, the days when most employers will recruit new employee from any part of the country and provide free accommodation for 3 months, to help you settle down, have gone down the drains. The Market forces of demand and supply has change every thing, the Number of graduate Supplied into the labour market far exceed the available jobs in demand. And, it has given Employers a lot of choice to choose from and they enjoy it a lot, because it created avenue to cut cost to its minimum.

These days, for example, let’s say an employer in Lagos need 50 qualified graduates, she can get all the 50 graduates in Lagos alone, in a day, anytime she places a vacancy advertisement. These is definitely a problem for an applicant, whose address of residence is not Lagos state, the same for Employers in Portharcourt and Abuja, considered to be job hub in these country. Applicants need to be dynamic in approach.

How do you tackle this challenge if you reside outside these three states(Lagos, Portharcourt, & Abuja)? Its very simple, for example, let’s say you reside in Benin and you find a job vacancy in portharcourt that you meet the requirements, ask yourself, do I have relations or friends in portharcourt, if yes, put a call immediately to them, explain clearly the situation at hand, ask for their address and replace it with yours in your CV before you apply. When you get the job sort yourself out.

#3 Too Many Jobs Within a short period of time.

93% of the 100 CVs i worked on have this Costly mistake. This class of applicant thought that the more places they have worked the better the job opportunities, some have worked in 3 places in 3 years, 4 places in 5years or 6 places in 7 years etc. The question I do ask most time, is it necessary to include all your previous job in your cv or reduce it to few number of jobs?

Lets compare and contrast two applicants below and give our verdict. The first, is an applicant who has worked in 6 places within 7 years. The second, is an applicant who has worked in only 2 places in 7 Years. Who will you consider for a job?.

Here’s My verdict, for the first applicant that worked in 6 places in 7 Years......,

I will not give him a job, because his job history has shown that he doesn’t stay long in a job, he is not consistent, no stable job experience, it might be that he is not a hard working person or he might have a character problem, as such no job for him.

For the second applicant who worked for 2 places in 7 Years, I will give him the job, because he has demonstrated from his job history that he stay longer in a job, it means he has acquired better experience in each job with time, he is consistent and might be hard working and have better character. Yes for him, I will give him the job. So you see the implications.

The idea is, you don’t necessarily need to pile up long list of previous place of work, you should consider prone it down to 2 or 3 work places maximum. You can selects that which you acquired good experience and can get good references in case. Be creative.

#4. Unnecessary Long List of Responsibility.

99.5% of the 100 CVs i worked on failed in this aspect.? This class of applicants see responsibility as an achievement, so they pile a long list and cover the whole space. As define by an online dictionary, “responsibility is the state of facts of being responsible, answerable or accountable for something within ones control”.

Hence that is what it is, it means responsibility is a general things and not personal, such that, 50 persons can have the same responsibilities at a time. for example a responsibility of Customer Service Officer is the same in similar industry every where you go. Then , why the long list of responsibilities in your cv? Wouldn’t it be better if you summarise it to one or two sentence and save yourself a lot of space in your CV. The best CV should have fewer pages depends on your years of experience.

For example a Bank Marketer can summarise her responsibility this way ‘Sale of banks retail products, such as Assets, Liability and Non financial' Simple and straight forward. An attacker in football team, like Lionel Messi and Neymar Junior, if you ask them to tell you their responsibilities, they will answer ‘ to score goals and give assist' simple and straight to the point, any other thing is secondary.

The idea is that, responsibility is a general thing, it doesn’t make you smarter or hardworking and it is not an achievement as you will see below.

#5 Complete Absence of Achievements.

99.9% of the 100 CVs i worked on, did not mention achievements, even the very few that did, hid it inside their long list of responsibilities. Its quite unfortunate, perhaps because some applicant confuse achievement for responsibility and others did not realise the impact achievements carry on their CV.

The fact is, Your Achievement is what make you “Stand out from the crowd”, it makes you an island of intelligent in a sea of mediocrity. Achievements is a personal possession, you own it and no two persons has the same achievements, even twins Children.

From our example above, Lionel Messi and Neymar Junior, are football attackers, their responsibility is the same thing, ‘to score goals and give assist', but their achievement is completely different, while both players where in Barcelona in 2014/2015 football season, Lionel Messi Scored about 73 goals and 89 assist, While Neymar Junior scored about 33 goals and 41 assist. Lionel Messi has better achievement, and it is the singular reason why Lionel Messi is paid higher than Neymar in Barcelona. And, he is needed in all the big football clubs.

It is your achievements that catches the attention of your potential employers, they come to see you as a problem solver, particular to your job function. No wonder i have started receiving positive testimonials from the 50 CVs i did reviewed and rewritten here on nairaland, because i use my experience and expertise to uncover their achievements and project it properly in their CV.

It is your duty to identify your achievements and channel it to your advantage. If you are finding it difficult to fix, you can always chat me up on WhatsApp or email below and I will gladly use my experience and expertise to fix it for you, for a small Service fee.

#6 Complete Absence of knowledge of Cover letter.

Unfortunately, almost 98 % of the cover letters i reviewed were poorly written.

The fact is, as you aspire to move up in the job markets from a low pay job to a higher pay job that you desired, Cover letter and not your CV, become the most important weapon you need to persuade employers to look towards your direction.

It is in your cover letter that you have all the space to express your skills and achievements. You can get down to the details and demonstrate how your skills have solve previous problems of employers, particular to your job function. You will have the space to give details of your achievements.

CONCLUSION:

You can apply this ideas and craft a Smart CV and Cover letter for yourself .
