WHAT DID YOUR MUMMY TEACH YOU ABOUT FIRST IMPRESSION?




Hello guys! It's been a while. I really missed y'all. However, it gives me great joy to be reviewing the third chapter of this mindblowing book by Yemisi Ajeojo.


"Tayelolu, you know you have a debate competition next week, you shouldn't appear with this rough hair. You must give a good first impression about yourself eehn..."


Those were some of my mum's anthem while growing up as a secondary school student especially when I have competitions. I am glad I took those lessons anyways😊 In the same vein, we should strive to give people a good first impression about us whenever they check our social media profiles.


Let's begin with our looks on social media. Your profile picture on social media should not contradict your core values. Yemisi says "your profile picture doesn't have to be serious but, it should reflect what you intend achieving by being on social media".


She also shared tips on how to choose a good profile picture. (Do well to find out by reading this book) Honestly, I have had to delete some friend requests because of their profile pictures. Yemisi says "if you want to be addressed like royalty, you must at the very least look like one in the way you carry and project yourself".


Now, let's talk about our names which is one of the means of identification. We should settle for names that are short and easy to remember. Yemisi says "a memorable name wins every time". This is not to say that we shouldn't use our given names. For instance, if you are Awolaja John Ebimobere, you can simply use 'Awolaja John' as your name on social media. It is very wrong to joke with your name if you want to attract serious-minded people. For instance, Olamide should not be written as "Horlamide" on your profile unless you are an artist, and it is your stage name.


Here is a short exercise from today's review. Kindly suggest a social media name to a lady whose name is AYODELE OLUWASEUNTITUNLAYEMINIGBAGBOGBO RACHEAL. 

I await your suggestions in the COMMENT SECTION☺☺☺

    See how you joined Ayo mi and my name together, well done jare.

    While I was at home, because I am fond of leaving my hair for so long, mum will always say 'Omoge, you should remake your hair oh' and will be rubbing my head. Your piece brought back that memory. And you are absolutely right about everything you said. Well done dear.

    And of course, the name should be 'Ayodele Racheal'.

SLEEPING ON DUTY

Image
Yesterday, I actually went shopping at the Lagos Island market popularly called "Balogun market." However, a particular sight which I saw got me thinking till I got home. You must be wondering what it is already. Well, wonder no more! Out of the numerous shops I visited, I noted that about 3 of them had attendants who happened to be sleeping when I got there. I was really amazed at how somebody will manage to doze off or sleep in a place like Balogun market (I'm sure my Lasgidi friends will understand this better). Hence, I decided to treat the issue of sleep on my blog today. Trust me, I wouldn't want you to be in that same or similar position.  So, here are five (5) signs that you've not been sleeping well. 1. You easily Jonalize. The word "Jonalize" was coined from the story of a man named Jonah in the Holy book who was said to have been sleeping while the ship he was in was almost capsiding and everybody was running helter skelter. Back to the matter...

SOCIAL MEDIA IS YOUR NEW CV

Image
  Believe me, regardless of the level you are, this book would definitely change your orientation positively. It is a 94 pages book and the writer did well to include beautifully designed graphics that won't make readers get bored while reading.  Shall we begin? CHAPTER 1- SOCIAL MEDIA IS YOUR NEW CV.  This chapter begins with the writer correcting the assumed notion that she gets amazing opportunities because she studied abroad. She backs this up by narrating how other persons who had never left the shores of Nigeria also gets amazing opportunities as she does. Yemisi says, "irrespective of your background, you can use social media as your CV!" In the past, potential employers can only know your past experiences and the skills you can offer by going through your C.V, but now, the tide has changed. By merely looking at your social media profile, a potential employer can get a good knowledge of what you represent. The goodnews is that CVs are not merely useful for getting ...

SO YOU THINK NOBODY KNOWS?

I know you have put in much effort to succeed yet you got little or no result. I know you have reached out to many for help yet none of them were willing to help you. I know how much you try to hide your frustration behind smiles just to make others feel better. I know you have attended many interviews and yet none offered you the job.  I also know you have made tremendous efforts to make your dreams come true yet, there seem to be no difference.  I am here to let you know that you are not alone. If you don't give up, you'd eventually get that job you want. You'd get that promotion you deserve. You'd get that financial support you need. You'd get the connections you long for and ultimately, you'd get answers to all your heart desires. You're only few steps away from your desired success. And guess what? I am praying for you and I know you'll surely get there. I'm certain that you'll indeed smile soonest. In this New August, I am rooting for you. ...
