A rich man looked through his
window and saw
a man picking
something from his dustbin,he
said thank God i
am not poor.
The poor man looked and saw a
naked man
misbehaving on the street, he
said thank God i
am not mad.
The mad man looked and saw an
Ambulance
carrying a
corpse to the mortuary, he said
thank God i am
not dead.
In any situation give thanks to
God.

who are you
MUST READ THIS AGAIN....................
A lady had an interview to
attend at
10am in Nairobi. That day; she
woke
up early and booked a vehicle at
5am. The vehicle didn't delay,
she
liked the speed too
. With her estimation, she
would get to Nairobi by 9am. Just
past
Gilgil,
the traffic cops stopped the
vehicle
and surprisingly, 2 fellows had
not fastened their safety belts. The
vehicle was summoned to the
police
station which was 15km off
the main
highway. The lady got really sad,
she
couldn't
switch vehicles since she had
no
extra money and was thus
forced to wait. She tried to call the
interviewers at 1st to
reschedule her
interview time but the call
never
went through. By the time they
were
leaving the station, it was
already
8.50am. She hoped all would be
well
but at Naivasha, the vehicle
developed a fault which
delayed the
journey for 1hr. By the time
she got
to Nairobi, it was 12.30. She
rushed to the venue of the
interview,
but
had to wait till 2pm since it
was
lunch time. At 2.15pm, she
went to the secretary who told
her she
would
have to wait till 3.30pm since
the
management were in a
meeting. At 3.30pm, she's called in
and
the
director told her, sorry for
keeping U
waiting since morning, we're
held up in another meeting with
our
company
suppliers... However we have
sat
since 2pm to deliberate on
your job specification, your office
and
the
salary.The lady was baffled
and said,
"Sir I haven't been
interviewed yet’’. The MD
answered her and said
"we
decided not to conduct the
interview
at least to save time and also
save the interviewees money on
transport,
so we looked at the papers for
the
most appropriate person we
want and we opted for U. You
won't be
disappointed. You’ll be shown
your
office, your secretary and the
driver
assigned to drive your company's
allotted vehicle. You’ll be on
probation for 2yrs.
Note: U might be held up by
issues
in your life and hope might be
diminishing and U think the
chance
is gone .But U know what?
God's
waiting for U to release His
favour, so don't go back along the
way,
dont
quit, don't be upset by what U
face
along the way.In fact, God has
already deliberated on your
specifications...One more thing,
u
dont have to go through any
interview, since u have all the
qualifications God wants..
You’re in for a Divine
announcement

Does the shilling you have count?
Making a personal budget is critical to have a healthy financial
life. We have already seen that being on a budget need not be extremely
limiting or punishing but rather allows you to direct money to the areas
that are important to you and gives you a chance to spend on larger
items after spending.
The good thing is you will not have to keep avoiding people, or keep talking about that one day when you do that special thing that you have been longing for but can’t afford. Here are some simple tips to get you started.
1. Make a list of the critical items that you will require for the day, month, week then year- This will give you a starting point to see what you can eliminate or do differently so you can get your spending under control. Food, rent, transport, water, etc.
2. Make sure you pay yourself a salary- This is what you will use to get you started in going in the direction that you want to move into. Say for example you want to start making money and investing or want to open a business this money immediately goes to work for you in that area.
3. Make sure you make the necessary adjustments to your lifestyle- One thing you may do is disconnect DSTV. Digital TV is important if you are in an area where you can get terrestrial TV even with a booster. If you can get the basic channels then disconnect. You can get movies, or read books, do puzzles, go for walks. The options are endless.
4. Record all the expenses that you have - A tiny book that can fit in your wallet or purse with a tiny pencil will be ideal for this. When you get off a bus, write down the fare you just paid. It is important that you write it as soon as possible so you do not forget. When you get a receipt you can put this off till evening but have a time set aside to tackle this duty. This ensures you do not loose track.
5. Weekly reviews are important - If you end up getting unwell and needing to go to the doctor and you spend more than you thought, this may have to come out of another category of your spending like going out to eat on the weekend with friends.
6. Make sure that you have a goal - Many people look forward to the time that they can go back to school and gain more education. This is important because when you feel like misbehaving you remind yourself that you are doing this for the betterment of yourself/ family or something you will truly believe in.
Once you are clear on what you need to do, have the motivation on why you need to do it, you will find that saving and living on a budget actually makes sense. You can begin to achieve your dreams and live the way you plan. This at the end of the day is more satisfying.

how to make your c.v(attractive)
How do you explain what makes you reach
for a certain product at Tuskys Supermarket or wherever you like to
shop? You probably are used to that product so you stretch your hand
and reach for it but what about a new product? Is it the way it’s
packaged? The colour maybe? The name of the product?
It’s all about creating the right first impression based on what meets the eye and that’s how most people get to experience a new product.
Think of your CV as a product, does it appeal to the eye? Does it make the recruiter want to reach for it in a bunch of banal looking CV’s and go through it?
I am not advocating for you to go all bananas on your CV and give it some crazy looking back ground colour hoping that the recruiter will reach for it instead of the others. He/she will reach for it alright, but to throw it in the dustbin. How about trying some professionalism and maybe putting some class on it ?
Here are 6 tips of how you can do just that.
1.Be consistent . If you decide to go BOLD on “Objective” also bold “Education” and “Skills” as well.
2.Use white space effectively. A page packed with text may suggest a lot of impressive accomplishments, but it’s also no picnic to read. Last time I checked, most Kenyans do not like to read and the recruiter may not be an exception.
A good résumé should be easy to scan and see what’s what. So use one-inch margins and leave line breaks between different kinds of information.
3.Use a good-looking typography (font )One or two font selections will do; you want a clean, businesslike look.
4.Watch the size of your text. Unless you are using an unusually-scaled typeface, your best bet for body text is size 10, 11 or 12. Too small is annoying to read, too large looks unprofessional.
5.Don’t use a prepackaged cliché kind of résumé template! Chances are, your prospective employer has already looked through fifty submissions using the default settings that came with some word processor.
Change the structure up a bit, sprinkle in a simple graphic elements even by adding small bullet points or a borders just to make your work stand out from the crowd.
6.Balance and organize the information. Solid text as if you are writing a novel won’t just cut it. Remember what I said earlier about Kenyans reading habits? Yep, that won’t cut it.
Think about ways to break up the text by using columns, bullets, lists and centering, and by grouping relevant information into sections—this suggests organization, logical thinking and demonstrates to the reader that you will be able to deliver professional looking documents.
This pointers will sure give you an impeccable CV. But wait a minute, don’t let your CV be all show and nothing worthwhile to make you the right candidate.
I bet you feel bad when you purchase a product because it looks good on the outside but behold, it’s just crap on the inside.
Make the actual content on your resume worth the effort of following this 6 tips. You can go through out CV writing articles and learn all about CV writing techniques.
Remember, with a little extra effort, your résumé can set you apart from the other applicants right from the moment your future boss opens the envelope.
Good luck catching the eye of the right people at the right job for you!
