Jobs/VacanciesRe: 10 Common Sense Interview Tips Too Many People Flub by Swiftgrp: 5:14pm On Nov 21, 2023
CrazyMan:
EVER BEEN GUILTY OF BREAKING ONE OF THESE SUGGESTIONS? STEP UP YOUR INTERVIEW SKILLS AND CHECK OUT THESE TIPS.

When we refer to something as being “common sense,” we usually mean that it is something we think everyone should know. Often, though, it turns out that what may seem like common sense to one person isn’t always so to someone else. For example: Veterinarians spend their days around animals, so they might consider it common knowledge that cats sleep about 18 hours per day; hence the reason your vet seems so amused when you bring Muffin in for a checkup, concerned about her inability to stay awake. Similarly, because human-resources professionals constantly screen and interview candidates, what may seem like a common-sense interview tip to them might not have crossed a job seeker’s mind. Following are “common-sense” interview tips straight from the experts’ mouths.

1. Be presentable:
Wear a suit that fits, and don’t cut corners when it comes to ironing or dry-cleaning, says Monique Honaman, CEO of leadership development company ISHR Group. “I knew one guy who was in such a rush the day of his interview that he only ironed the front of his shirt. Later, during the course of his interview day, it was hot and he was encouraged to remove his jacket and get more comfortable and it was clear that he had cut corners and only ironed the front! He was very embarrassed,” Honaman says. Also, while you should always wear deodorant, try to avoid perfumes and colognes. You never know who will be allergic or just downright averse to your scent. “A hiring manager once told me a story of how he didn’t select an incredibly well-qualified candidate for a role because she wore the same perfume as his ex-wife,” says Danielle Beauparlant Moser, a career coach with Blended Learning Team. “He said she walked in the room and his only thought was how to get her out of his office as quickly as possible.”

2. Don’t be too early:
While you should always arrive at your interview a few minutes early, try not get there more than 15 minutes before your scheduled interview time, advises Ben Yeargin, a manager at Spherion Staffing. “[Arriving early] will lead to anxiety on the candidate’s part because they have to sit and wait for an extended period of time, and it will lead to frustration on the hiring manager’s part because they will feel rushed with the project that they are trying to accomplish prior to the interview,” he says. If you find yourself getting to the building earlier than you thought, wait in your car or take a walk around the block until it’s closer to your interview time.

3. Know whom you’re meeting with:
“Know the name of the interviewer so that you can ask for that person at the receptionist’s desk,” advises Cheryl Palmer, president of Call to Career, an executive coaching firm. “It’s embarrassing when the receptionist asks, ‘Who are you here to see?’ and you can’t remember. Have this information either in your head or write yourself a note that you refer to prior to arriving in the waiting area,” Palmer says.

4. Remember: You are being interviewed as soon as you walk in the door:
“Most people would never think of the receptionist as being an interviewer, but it’s true,” Palmer says. “It’s fairly common that the receptionist will report back to the hiring manager how candidates behaved in the waiting area. Don’t be remembered as the one who ate all the candy out of the candy dish or spoke disrespectfully to the receptionist.”

5. Make proper eye contact: “One of the most obvious mistakes interviewees make is with eye contact, and it costs a lot of people a lot of jobs,” says Barry Maher, who owns a California-based career coaching firm. “Eye contact is simple,” he says. “Any given eye contact should last about five seconds at a time. And if there’s one interviewer, make eye contact with him or her about 40 to 60 percent of the time. More than 60 percent is intimidating. Less than 40 percent comes off as shifty and perhaps insincere, even dishonest.”

6. Eat before the interview: not during it
Duh? Not according to Yeargin, who has experienced interview-snacking firsthand. “I was in an interview, no more than 10 minutes into it, and I got called out for two minutes to answer a question,” he says. “When I returned, the applicant was eating some sort of granola or other snack bar. Needless to say that individual did not get a job with my company.” No matter what the candy bar ads have to say, your hunger can wait.

7. How to eat: Make sure that what you do eat beforehand does not involve onion or garlic
You want to be remembered for your professionalism and outstanding skills, not for what you ate for lunch. Advises Palmer, “Don’t eat anything that has a strong odor before the interview.”

8. Don’t look at your watch:
Block at least two hours of time for the interview, says Cindy Loftus, co-owner of Loftus O’Meara Staffing. Loftus also advises keeping your schedule relatively clear on the day of the interview, to avoid feeling the need to rush. “Don’t create distractions to your interview,” she says.

9. Tell the interviewer you are interested:
Don’t forget to tell the recruiter you want the job. “If you truly feel the position is a fit, let them know and tell them you would like to get to the next round of interviews, and be prepared to tell them why,” Loftus says.

10. Get business cards from your interviewers, and use them:
“Ask for the business cards of all of the interviewers that you have met and make sure you take a second or two to read their card,” Loftus says. This will not only be helpful in remembering each person you met with, but will make it easier to send proper thank-you notes and follow up e-mails, which should always be done within 24 hours of leaving the interview.

This is what you get when you have lot of yiibos following you on social media.

I will keep saying it. You can call me a tribal bigot all you want but yiibos are the most disrespectful,abusive, envious, hatefilled human in the world. This is now more than politics, it is more like another b!afran war to them.

This electioneering period just showed the world their true animalistic uncultured behaviour. It is so sad because the elders that are suppose to be correcting the younger ones are also getting involve in the irritating act and the ones sensible enough trying to correct the youthful ones are insulted, cursed and threatened.

It is getting worst. Things are falling apart. And nobody seems to be bothered. The teenage yiibos using social media are taking note of this, in a matter of time. They will also become the monster we are experiencing now. Even a far more worst monsterious hatred filled vessels.

Just as it happened to Joke Silva, Saheed balogun, zark orji , Eniola Badmus and a whole lot of other Celebrities. Actress Mercy Johnson instagram comment page is a mess right now as she's been dragged for endorsing APC.

Remember she was present at the APC women campaign flagoff in Lagos state yesterday.

All the people that are cursing her are Igbos. You allow Igbos to follow on social median, you are on your own. Because they believe that they are wiser than others. Don't worry, Feb, 2023 is around the corner. They will soon come online and say, the election is rigged. Who will trust igbos with Presidential power? The power drunkards! This is a civilized society, you are not feeding me and I have rights to support anyone. How did Obi govern Anambra? Yeye people. I can bet it with anything, that Obi cannot even take the second position talkless of wining presidency. You trust igbos you destroy yourself, Nigeria, wake up.

PoliticsRe: Famous Buharist And Tinubu Supporter Posh Mama Is Dead. by Swiftgrp:
muhammaduyusufu:
Haha, they even said people were collecting 30k to support a political party. If you tell them to bring proof, they will keep quiet. I have been called Yoruba Muslim by many of these same people even though I voted NNPP, whereas I am a Muslim from the from a different region.

The assumptions and allegations on this thread are wild and crazy. I won't be suprise come 2027, they start campaigning again hoping some of us vote their candidate after the cycle of hate directed our way.
Indeed. I like the fact that you say you voted for NNPP because it is your right to do so. Why bully others to join a political party because their Ibo kinsman was the candidate and this is the same man that when he was Governor of Anambra and after he left as Governor, they insulted him as seen in thread posts on NL and many social media screenshots. I remember when Peter Obi was in discussions with Rabiu Kwankwaso, these rabid people were hailing him but as soon as Kwankwaso did NOT agree to their terms to become Obi's Vice-Presidential aspirant, they started abusing and defaming him and even insulting his religion! The same thing they did to Nyesom Wike... When Wike was in talks with Obi, the Ibos praised him only for them to return to defaming and insulting him and his Ikwerre ethnicity when he aligned himself with APC.

The final antidote to all these online and offline cyberbullying and defamation by these irresponsible kids who come online to post falsehoods and hate on NL is for the Federal Government and the DSS to move in quickly and make the administrators or owners of many of these online platforms like NL to sit up and verify their registered users. Then move in to get those spreading ethnic hate openly on NL and other online platforms arrested, charged to court under stiff existing cybercrime laws, and get them sent to jail! The previous governments of PDP and APC failed to curb this vicious menace.

Can you believe that these ethnically bigoted creeps are actually posting and making inciting comments and calling on the Military to take over the governance of Nigeria in a military coup. These are highly treasonable acts and it shows that these rabid Ibo supporters of Peter Obi who are making these posts openly on NL and elsewhere are NOT true democrats at all.

Sebi it's only Tinubu supporters that have died in this Administration. If una no wan RONU, no be our fault. You fit be alainironu, na your business.
@Oneloveyo,

You are indeed very intelligent and observant. I saw the big lie told here by the creepy OP of this insidious thread and was about to respond before I saw your brilliant post.

She indeed stated CLEARLY in her post that she was charged N50,000 per pint of blood and she NEVER said she couldn't afford to pay in her post before she passed on but the idiotic OP that you replied to and some others LIED that she couldn't afford N50,000 and started gloating and taunting her.

Surely Posh Mama is over 50 years of age and elderly. It is time for her to end her mission on earth. I went through the profile of the bigoted OP of this thread and saw him using vulgar sexual innuendos and more in his posts in this freshly created NL profile and he fooled others but not everyone is fooled by his self-righteous post that was pushed to the front page.

Her response about the Ibos in the screenshots on page one was simply because the Ibos started the online and offline attacks more than 20 years ago and had since the start of the 2022 election cycle and even till now embarked on the worse kind of massive campaigns of direct hate speeches, cyberbullying, video forgeries, defamation of character, etc, against many prominent Yoruba folks and other people who supported the current party of President Tinubu.


"INSTAGRAM ATTACKS ON MERCY JOHNSON"
https://www.nairaland.com/7470365/mercy-johnson-blasted-instagram-endorsing/

From the vicious online and offline attacks by male and female Ibo social media followers against Mercy Johnson and her husband (for simply affiliating themselves with APC in Kogi and Edo States) and that was published here on NL, to the social media attacks on Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Pastor Adeboye, Segalinks, Joke Silva-Jacobs, the Chicago State Uni online mob attacks, the social media nuisance attacks on the Governor of the State of Illinois and lots more. Enough of the guilt-tripping here. There's enough online evidence at my disposal going back to over 20 years ago that show the clear FACT that it is the Ibos who started the ethnic bigotry and online bullying against the Yorubas and other ethnic groups in Nigeria simply because of the Nigerian Civil War events. This repeated insolence and divisive threads like these will NOT be accepted.

My condolences go to the family of Posh Mama.

PoliticsRe: Gully Erosion Threatens 350 Buildings, Stadium, Cuts Federal Road In Anambra by Swiftgrp:
opamoses1:
Erosion has been dealing with anambra like forever. In a few years, only God knows how much of that state will be left.
Whoa! 70 percent of Anambra land has been destroyed according to that attached Guardian newspaper screenshot. The over cultivation of land and the soil type are indeed responsible for this scenario. It's gonna cost billions of Naira to fix the problem and the state government definitely can't afford that.

This no doubt is one of the reasons why over 50 percent of people from that state have relentlessly moved to Lagos and other South Western States, Asaba, Abuja, PH, Kano, Kogi and Enugu, where they are looking for economic survival and have leased land and gone ahead to build houses to stay in... Only visiting their state once or twice a year.

maspero22:
This profiles a lovemaking position which is capable of leading to serious injuries while having fun with a partner.

Even if you don’t have a p*nis, the thought of one snapping will still fill you with all kinds of horror. Nothing kills the mood like a penile fracture. Scientists have found that the position, dubbed “cowgirl” (Woman-on-top), is responsible for half of all penile fractures cases reported from three hospitals, according to a study conducted by researchers.

The researchers believe this is due to the full force of the woman’s body weight controlling the act. The nature of the act makes the woman less able to quickly divert her momentum if she lands askew on her partner’s equipment which causes him to experience painful “wrong way penetration.”

The harm is usually minor for her and with no pain, but major for the p*nis. Positions involving the woman on all-fours (doggy style) were also involved in 29% of fractures.
Penile fracture is a relatively uncommon clinical condition that frequently causes fear and embarrassment for the patient, hypothetically resulting in delayed search for medical assistance, which can lead to impairment of s*xual and voiding functions.
Considering that most studies are retrospective and based on patients records information regarding the social dynamics surrounding penile fracture is scarce in the literature, mainly potentially risky s*xual positions.”

I am igbo I was born and bred here in yorubaland but i have lived at least 3 years in igboland,igbo people are great people especially their men they are hustlers and goal getters, but you see igbo women they are a no no for me.

You see,just because nature blessed them with beauty and light skin they believe they world revolve around them.

I have worked in jibowu,ladipo and some popular igbo markets because i have lots relatives in lagos markets,i have seen lots of nwaboy being brought from the village to serve their oga and one of the advice their oga always give them is to avoid girls during their years of service especially igbo girls,e get why igbo women are the most hypergamous women on earth and they dont hide it,they say it straight to your face.i think most igbo men from the village are narurally simps and have no game its not their fault it because of the hypergamous nature of igbo women over there.

Yoruba are (and) akwaibom ladies are the best,dont get me wrong,l its not that they dont like money,but it is lesser,i remember when i was still in a lagos polytechnic my dad died in my year 1 i had no choice than to look for a side job to be able to sustain myself and education that period i was so broke and lost my looks due to working in the sun,my yoruba female coursemates still respect and cherish me but the igbos ones looked down on me for real.can you believe one day an i was actually playing with one igbo girl in my photocopy shop in school and her friend aske her if its photocopy boys she now dates i just laughed.igbo women are just too hypergamous.

Yoruba girl open their hearts to men irrespective of his financial status especially if he is serious and doing something but igbo women want a ready man and will be too ashamed of you if you are broke.

Is this high maintenance attitude restricted to girls from some Ibo-speaking states such as Anambra, Imo and Abia, or to ALL Ibo states?
RomanceRe: There's Actually Nothing Special About Igbo Ladies by Swiftgrp:
LocalStandard1:
For some time I've been meaning to put up my personal opinion and review about Nigerian girls here. After the rave about Yoruba men married to plenty Igbo women thanks to this elections I think now's the right time.

Igbos girls are clean, dress well and are on average fair skinned. But then what? I mean, let's also talk about the inside or characters of them.

Igbos girls are very materialistic than average, very condescending and rude than average. Igbo women are also very wicked and oppressive to people under them. They are more likely to kill a spouse and even run with valuables. Let's be honest here.

I am personally more attracted to Yoruba ladies and many times I end up discovering their tribe after sometime. They have the chocolate complexion and a better skin torn to me, if natural. Yoruba girls are also more open and level headed even more accepting. Personally!

But then we most talk about the Yoruba ladies' other side too. They're very promiscuous and cheaper than average. They're also not very clean and lack a good dressing IQ. I personally think the South West have the highest paternity fraud cases in Nigeria. They're loud and more out of control even in public.


South South girls are too violent and combative, very rude too, they're the kind that give men high blood pressure. "Hookup" seems to be there second name. But I think they're beautiful too and can cook.

Middle Belt women to me are the best. They're humble and manoeuvrable. They stick to even the most struggling man, through thick and thin. They're generally beautiful and naturally so, with the best skin complexions. But they're cheap and very much so.

Core Northern ladies. I can not really put them anywhere aside they're beautiful, quiet but some say that's only pretense.

But at the end of the day, Igbo ladies are too over hyped and exaggerated. Ehn too much!
Your mysoginistic generalizations here make your post very asinine and below par... You're trying to play divisive ethnic mind games with some gullible NL readers.

Your ill-informed comments about Yoruba ladies in that post shows your weak attempt at using reverse psychology to insult Yoruba ladies. A person of very low intelligence is who you are tbh.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Nigerians Find Homes At Odd Places In Canada As Rent Crisis Worsens by Swiftgrp: 9:05pm On Nov 20, 2023
PureFace1:
As dire as economic situation in Nigeria is at the moment, not even dollar-a-day Nigerians at home are living in the kind of places some Nigerians are said to find as homes in Canada, all in the quest for ‘better’ living condition and jobs abroad.

Due largely to the rent crisis arising from low housing supply and affordability issues which also define the housing market in Nigeria, some Nigerians who left Nigeria for Canada are now living in cemetery and streets—places that are odd and unimaginable under normal circumstances.

The streets of Canada and, in extreme cases, the cemetery have become top destinations for immigrants and refugees and it is reported that several immigrants, running into tens of thousands, are now pitching their tents in these places as their homes.


In Quebec, one of the country’s largest cities, for instance, one in two homeless people can be located in rural areas in odd places. This is explained by Julie Bourdon, the Mayor of Granby, who noted that, “visible homelessness did not exist three years ago in Granby,” adding however that “rents are very high now compared to two years ago.”


The housing situation in this North American country considered to be the second largest in the world after Russia, is such that, in January this year, the country revealed that it was considering limiting the number of international student visas, including Nigeria, as part of solutions to its housing shortages.

This was according Sean Fraser, the country‘s minister for housing, infrastructure, and communities, who noted that the sharp rise in the number of students was putting pronounced pressure on some housing markets.

It was reported that from January to June 2023, about 10,180 Nigerians moved to Canada, prompting a report by a renting agent in the country called Rentals.ca to note that “the growing number of students entering Canada has added further upward pressure on rents.”

These are, however, to be expected from a country which, in the last few years, has become a preferred destination for international students due to its immigration-friendly policies.

Available record shows that the number of study permits issued to Nigerians by Canada rose by 17.8 per cent to 16,195 as at the end of 2022, up from 13,745 in the same period in 2021. This, according to the record, placed Nigeria among the top 5 source countries for new international students in the country.

Opinion Nigeria, an Abuja-based media outfit, noted recently that despite the housing and rent challenges confronting Canadians, the country was still receiving immigrants from across the globe including Nigerians.

“Recently, the Canadian federal government announced an aggressive plan to take in 500,000 immigrants a year by 2025, with almost 1.5 million new immigrants coming to the country over the next three years. In 2022, the country welcomed 437,120 permanent residents, almost 8 percent increase from the total number of permanent residents in 2021,” the paper said.

It quoted Fraser as saying, “immigration levels plan will help businesses find the workers they need.”

Like Nigeria, the housing problem in Canada has no immediate solution as it is reported that the country’s 2023 budget ignores its worsening housing and homelessness crises and fails to support those in greatest need.

The Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness (CAEH) lamented recently that as communities across the country experience an increase in homelessness and an explosion in housing need, the federal government’s budget failed to do anything new to address the housing crisis.

According to CAEH, “with one million newcomers, a wave of new homelessness driven by rampant inflation and a massive loss of affordable housing, this budget needed to take meaningful action to address Canada’s housing crisis.”

CAEH leads national movement of individuals, organizations and communities working together to end homelessness in Canada. The group’s President/CEO, Tim Richter, said, “it’s clear that the federal government does not see the scale and urgency of these crises, and has offered no solutions.”

PoliticsRe: Rivers State Only Have These 3 Tribes. by Swiftgrp:
Yujin:
Lol. What fake Ijaw customs and traditions are you talking about? The lies that people make just to obscure history is very appalling.
What drove Jaja from Bonny was never the contest for kingship. Therefore, the claim of his erstwhile slave status was irrelevant to him being a king in Bonny. It was pure jealousy that led to the fight that saw him leaving Bonny.

After successfully establishing a new community on a virgin land, he became king by the virtue of him being her founder.
Some Europeans calling him Chief never robbed him of his deserved title as the king of Opobo. There's this iconic picture of him adorning his Akwete cloth and a big conical raffia hat. That dressing obviously was befitting of a king and not a mere chief.

Comclusion... Jaja was the King of Opobo undisputed and his descendants remain on the throne till today. He was not a mere chief. Joseph was a slave but he later became a prime minister. Don't allow one useless Ijaw conjectures to blind you to common sense. A man can change his fortune and Jaja did change his to become a king.
You call those fake customs and traditions?... Ijaw/Ibani folks won't like that [I get your point of view though].

In any event, from 1870 to 1887, i.e., for 17 years, he was outside Bonny where he fled from with some of his people and he strongly retained his Ijawnized Ibani cultural practices and that is why he named the new area he moved to after the Amanyanabo Opubu Perekule of Bonny. I must emphasize again that the land Jaja fled to was NOT EMPTY LAND or virgin land but a part of Ibibioland [Ikot Abasi]. This is the reason why Opobo has a mixture of ancestries from Ibibio, Ijaw and Ibo.

Years back, I watched a documentary series on Jaja and in that historic documentary, it was indicated that he actually went back to his original homeland in Amaigbo and built a house there which stands till today. I'm not sure whether he went from Bonny Island or from Opobo but the house is still in existence and Walter Ofonagoro who is from that area was also interviewed. There is an account told in Opobo that it was Jaja's father that colluded to sell him into slavery but Walter Ofonagoro chimed in and said it wasn't so. In any event despite the Ijaw initiation and naturalization ceremony Jaja went through, I still consider him as a first-generation Ibo man.

Last but not least, I want you to give me the download link to the ANDONI history that you said you downloaded. I'm curious to learn more about their migratory history.

Thanks.

contentmakerPRO:
those houses were the controvasial houses built on ikota canal in lekki-ajah axis not ebute meta as this op wanted us to know. I dont know why people like to give false infomation and the mods without verification will allow it to be moved to FP. Someone will be 100s of thousands of miles away from lagos, and will be making fake videos about lagos. This NL deliberatley promote fake news.
It's great you observed this.

The OP of this thread has been spreading fake news [to stir up ethnic discontent while claiming Ibo houses are being demolished] about houses being demolished in Ebutte-Metta and without due verification it was pushed to the NL front page.


The Supermods should take note:

So Ebute-Metta has now turned to Igbo neighbourhood overnight? I am 100% sure you've never been to Lagos in your whole life.

Three areas are know for building collapses in Lagos.

1. Ebute-Metta
2. Lagos Island
3. Mushin

Cleaning up is underway and ongoing in all the three axis.

You guys are the real tribal bigots of Nigeria. You still manage to make this cleaning up look like a vendetta.
Your are right. Those areas are major Yoruba-dominated areas [people's ancestral hometowns] and some buildings there that went through gentrification were found to be distressed. Ebute-Metta has undergone a lot of urban renewal but in the process, some houses didn't follow due process.

The OP's outburst is asinine as he stupidly assumes that every house is Ibo-owned. That's purely unintelligent of those spinning these silly ethnic tales of victimhood... obviously, these creeps do not live in Lagos but are stirring discontent from far away in their rat holes.
