So, content writers are the only ones expected to write and speak correctly? It is this sort of warped mentality that has kept many in perpetual mediocrity. You can grumble all you want about how the country is this and that, how the leaders have done xyz.... At the end of the day, if a company invites you for an interview for a position based on your academic qualifications and you show up mixing up present and past tenses, they will reject you and you can go blaming it on spurious allegations. Not that any of these matters to you, I presume just like many others who share the same mediocre mentality, you've probably located one ritualist to facilitate your "yahoo-yahoo" activities so you can "cash out" fast. authority2006:

Let me tell you a secret, a bank job is not worth losing sleep over. Not worth it at all, most people working with the bank are trapped wanting to leave but trapped with so many commitments. A bank Job is not a dream job I can tell you for free. Most people are trying to leave, but If u really want a bank Job, dont despair banks offer openings a lot, you will see another which you can clinch. 3 Likes |

Hullabaloon:
In Abraham’s case his so-called “half-truth” was a whole lie, for the question he was asked was, “Is Sarah your wife?” And his answer in effect was really “No. She is my sister.” By this answer to this question Abraham intentionally misrepresented the facts of the situation, which is a lie. Again you are not reading the passenges you quoted very well. Where in the two passages did anyone asked Abraham "Is this your wife? No where. In egypt, they saw her and simply recommended her to the king and took her to him. Nothing was asked of Abraham that we read there. Same in Abimelech case, there was no such question recorded as you wish us to believe. When you start adding what was not recorded by the Holy Bible to suit a narrative, then you create unnecessary confusion. Base on the passages you quoted, Abraham did not lie, and Sarah was his sister. God did not condole sin even at that time. Infact sin was met with instant punishment which God Himself meted out to the sinner. Had Abraham lied, God would have told him even if He wanted to forgive him. So please remove the assumptions question you thought was asked and focus on what the bible says. We can as well assumed that Abraham was asked "Is she your daughter, or sister?" |

Let’s be factual here!
I work in a bank & you didn’t lose that opportunity cos you know someone in the bank.
Your command of the English language is horrible & below par (that’s the reason). They won’t hire you cos it’ll reflect badly on them.

Haven applied for so many jobs and attended some interviews, I finally saw one graduate trainee job (my kind of dream job tho) as at January this year. Although is a banking job which is actually my dream job. I wrote their aptitude test which I passed. We were eight that was invited for their interview out of over 70 candidates that applied and I was lucky to be part of those eight.

At the Final stage of the interview (One on one interview) was where my righteousness or should I call it "Being Truthful" deprive me of my dream job. You may ask how did I know, but the truth is, that is what deprived me of getting the job. I don't want to explain further on that just to cut the story short.
The question they ask me that lead to my disqualification was: "Do you know anyone in this bank?" And my reply was "Yes". And truly I know someone working there but he wasn't even the one that ask me to apply. I only came across the job and I applied. But I never knew I'm suppose to say NO, I also never knew the answer will snatched the job away from me.
After all the sacrifices, sleepless nights on night journey from one town to another, After almost getting an accident on these our bad road, not to talk of the time and resources I have invested in getting this job. look at my life? See where my righteousness has brought me into?
