Presentation On Career Development

Emma Said:

Is this a scam,it was in my in box today?

We Answered:

Its a scam! As someone else has said, the use of a YMail account gives it away.

As they know there are so many job seekers out there at present, then much like those people who send you discount vouchers off of little blue pills, magical/instant weight loss solutions, would love to meet you and get to know you better, or need £6M moved out of East Africa; these eMails are simply trawling for interest/bait.

The scammers are quite happy with a half percent or less response rate, but once they have you the answer will be either:
(a) that you need to attend a pre-training seminar, which is either free or at a cost of X
(b) that you just don't make their criteria, but could be trained on a freelance basis at cost of Y

They are evn quite open (as they have to be to get inside the law) by inserting the line: "Seminars and training for professional development" which translates as you pay us to train you, then work self employed.

This type of problem is appearing regularly on job boards at present, where legitimate MLM business skim for new sign-ups with the offer of riches via "seminars and training."

If you want to check a company out, then the signs to watch out for are no telephone numbers, non-company email addresses, and offers which have seminars and training listed high in their criteria.

If a real company or recruiter was interested in you, then 9/10 they would pick up the phone. A push email with few contacts details should read scam every time.

All of the European Police forces now have an online crime unit - the UK's is located with the Met Police. I suggest you find the one local to you, and follow their reporting procedure: these idiots need to be stopped.

Good Luck!

Betty Said:

Can God help me get this job I will totally devoted to ? ?

We Answered:

I totally feel for you but you are on your way to being achieving a higher level of Emotional Intelligence. It is important to be confident but also to show that you are a good listener and be patient in the interview, think about what you are going to say before you say it. Pause a little. Pray that you stay calm and remember to try to relate to the people around you in humble way,whatever is a complementary style. I hope it works out for you but if it does not take it as a learning experience and take what you have learned into the next interview. Oh, and make a list of questions for them as well. People like to see that you are prepared.

Hugh Said:

First Public Presentation Help?

We Answered:

Just act like you are talking to a group of friends. 2 or 200 or 2000, what's the difference. Talk about the current affairs of your company. Mix a few jokes in. Everyone will love you.
