No matter the age difference, this couple has found each other. They were married in 1992, so their marriage has already lasted for 21 years. Although many people didn’t believe that they would succeed in their marriage, they have proven them completely wrong by having a happy family with 4 kids.

#6 - John Travolta & Kelly Preston

#4 - Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick

A beautiful and loving couple that have been married for 25 years now. They have two children together and are going strong. They haven’t kept a secret of their admiration and love for each other through the years.

#3 – Kurt Rassell & Goldie Hawn  

Well, they are not married but they deserve a place in this list. They are an example of a non-married long lasting couple. They too met on set and have been a couple since 1984 – that’s almost 30 years. They have raised four children, three being from previous marriages and one of their own. She says about him: “I think Kurt’s an extraordinary person. I love being with him and I love our family and I love our family life.”

#2 – Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson

This popular couple have been married for 25 years, since 1988. They also met on a movie set and have raised two sons of their own and Tom’s two children from his first marriage. About their marriage Hanks says that he just got lucky, as marriage is about winning the lottery!

They say that it is hard for a marriage to last, even more so, if it’s a celebrity marriage. Fame, money, beauty and distant relationships all have a toll on a sparkly couple. But there are some examples of two celebs that have endured all the difficulties that a marriage brings with it, let alone a marriage of two stars. So, here are a few shining couples that made it through time. They give us proof and hope that true love and long-lasting relationships are really possible, despite all the pitfalls that come with celebrity. Because after all, we all long to find that significant other and it is good to know that he or she can be found.

#6 – Ask Questions


Ask questions (image source)

Feel free to ask your interviewers a couple of questions. This will not only show that you are confident and not afraid to ask questions, but will also show your interest about the position and the company you’ve applied for. When asked about compensation, you don’t have to be straightforward. Instead you can say that you expect to receive similar remuneration as your peers who have comparable experience and qualifications.

#7 – Know Your Weaknesses


Strengths and weaknesses (image source)

Know your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure you can give different examples that can support your strengths.  Of course, these should be prepared before interview. When asked about your weaknesses, don’t be afraid to acknowledge them. No one is perfect, and everyone knows it. If you’re having difficulties describing your weaknesses, this is a sign that you lack self-awareness, which will not impress your potential employers.

#8 – Body Language


Body language (image source)

Body language is very important. Your posture, voice, the way you move your hands, as well as your facial expressions should always send the same message. Make sure you exhibit enthusiasm in your voice. Lack of enthusiasm is off putting for most interviewers. And finally, don’t forget to make enough eye contact with your potential employers.

#9 – Don’t Talk Bad About Your Former Employer

Try not to badmouth your former (or current) employer, no matter how bad your relationship was. Even if the person who is interviewing you asks you what you hated and disliked about your former boss, don’t take the bait. Rather than speaking about the things you hated about him, focus on the positive things and things you learned from your previous job and experience with your former employer.

#10 – Send a Thank You Note
After the interview is over, take the time to send a thank-you note. This will definitely impress your interviewers, and separate you from the competition. If you want to take it even further, send a real thank-you note (not electronic). Rarely anyone does this nowadays, and this is a sure way to make yourself stand out from the competition.

If you’re fresh out of high school, university or you are simply looking for a new job, knowing how to handle a job interview is an important skill. For numerous people, job interviews are a nerve-wracking experience. Today, we are going to show you ten tips that will help you overcome the nervousness and have a successful job interview.

#1 – Dress Accordingly

Always dress accordingly for your job interview. Your clothing should reflect your future role, as well as your personality. Don’t forget that overdressing can be almost as bad as underdressing. Furthermore, keep away from flashy and tacky clothes, or using too many accessories.

#2 – Research
Do your homework before going to an interview.  Having as much knowledge as possible about the company you’re applying for can only be beneficial. Knowing the company’s culture and policies will in most cases impress your potential employer and possibly secure you a job.

#3 – Know Your CV

Know your CV back and forth. If you already got a job interview, this means your CV served you well so far. Now, take a moment and try to predict potential questions about your CV that you may get asked, and make sure you have confident answers to all of them.

#4 – Relax
Relax yourself. Positive stress is good as long as it helps you perform at your peak. The idea is to appear confident and relaxed instead of being anxious. Get a good night’s sleep, have a lighter yet healthy breakfast and take a walk before the interview. After your name is called, take a few deep breaths and stretch a bit in order to relax your whole body.

#5 – Be Confident

Make sure you enter the room confidently. Firm (but not too strong) handshake and a smile go a long way. These are very simple yet effective techniques to show an impression of self-confidence. Interview manners are also quite important. Ask whether you can take a seat, and always remember to sit up straight without slouching. Bad interview manners are a definite turn off for most interviewers.

We will pay 4 it as a Nation....dis is deir way of getting free money....once they are broke they put fire in and Govt approve money 4 renovation and everybody smile 2 d bank...thats always a culture in nigeria ja re....very soon anybody govt building go catch fire b4 novmber if na lie wait and see.....

Seun should introduce declaration of age before u register on Nairaland so many childern online now lolz u are ok as a guy but handsum i dont know about dat

Hmmm lolz all this boko harm tinz self tire me, now i need 2 change my thought about the whole tin, what i thought now is different and so many ppl wil not agreed with me,

D total of bokoharm are not up 2 half of Nigeria army , i dont see why we still have them after years of fightn

Govt must know alot about dis group which the public no nothing about, u cant have all the power both air and land and sea fighters, u kept saying my enemy want to discredit you, common sense shows an african man love 2 use hiz power when they are not even needed.

Bokoharm is just a distraction not 2 the president, or APC or PDP but 2 d militry, they need 2 keep them busy while govt looting Nation money, with level of corruption in Nigeria now i doubt it if militry were not at war with bokoharm if we will still have democracy in Nigeria by dis time, militry must have taken over long time ago, thats why they kept budgeted billion and trillion of naira to security and not even a single weaponz brought, welfare of the army not well taken care of, and nobody is asking questions where is dis money going 2.

Its a pity our men and woman of army being used to fight for nothing but greed of our leaders who feed on innocent citizen blood.

If u have army as a friends or brother or father, sister u will be shocked what they will tell u about all dis fight.

D level of corruption in Nigeria now leave me no choice dan to think dis fight is just 2 fake 2 be truth, we heard so called islam fighters attacked govt directly but ours in Nigeria kill their own family, sister and kidnaped their own mother kill their own son n dotaz.

Media are not helping at all when u have all d ownerz all are politicans we dont have a single media house who doesnt get shares in Govt..either by contracts or given honour 2 be part of confab, so i lost faith in Nigeria medias.

Corruption is bokoharm and bokoharm is govt. My thought

Lolz planned work....everytin in the name of 2015 election...

U are highly wlcome ma..say hello 2 ur beautiful dota 4 me...cheers ma

soulsearch: Thanks @ skyface, I appreciate ur advice & its noted.
However, pls take note of d following:
1. Am d one wearing d shoe & I know where it is
pinching me. For dat, pls do nt b more worried abt my
situation than myself.
2.Most men will nt date, talk less of marry a single
mum because they feel uve gt "baggage" which has to
be catered for, so d essence of
including my work status is nt for pride or 2 attract rats
as u calld them, bt 2 assure any interested bt skeptical
ones dat I'm not a parasite but I need a symbiotic r/ship.
3. Also,its common practice to include such details
abt urself even on dating sites cos pple have 2 at least
knw somethg abt u.
4. There r thousands of women with higher & better
qualifications, so what's in an msc anyway? Its just an
educational qualification
5. I have a million faults,just like u, bt I thank God
dat pride is nt one of them.
6. As for d grace of God, there was never a period
I was more sure of dat grace on my life than now.
I believe in trying, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I'm nt doing a new thing, I'm only doing what thousands
of women r already doin, whether they be single mums or not,
which is trying to make a relationship.
