 Weezdom acknowledged that he had been dishonest regarding the rationale behind ceasing management of Bahati, confessing that it was actually due to his battle with alcoholism.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 The former gospel vocalist also recounted a mishap during another radio position and expressed gratitude for being granted another chance years afterward.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 He mentioned that he wasn't aware of his addiction when he resumed drinking, which led Bahato to issue an ultimatum.

 The seasoned artist Lawrence Munya, known as Weezdom, has revealed the genuine cause behind his decision to step down from managing Bahati.

 In 2021, Weezdom declared that he was going separate from Bahati to focus on personal development, which led to numerous messages of support for him.

<h2>
 How Weezdom botched tasks due to alcohol addiction.
</h2>

 Later, he abandoned the gospel genre and began venturing into secular music following Bahati shutting down his record label, EMB Records.


 In an interview with Hot96 FM, Weezdom admitted that he botched the job due to his alcoholism at the time.


 In his words:

<blockquote>
 Before I became known as Weezdom, my life involved being associated with the streets, struggling with alcoholism, and using various substances. There were times when I would take actions such as holding onto Jeff’s phone, which could be considered stealing. When I began drinking again after a period of sobriety, it felt like a significant setback. This relapse hit me hard because there is nothing worse than someone who hasn’t had a drink deciding to start again, especially when they have both the means and easy access to alcohol. Only then did I realize I was truly addicted.
</blockquote>

 He disclosed that this began impacting his job to the extent that he missed events involving Bahati.


 Weezdom mentioned that he secured a position at Radio Citizen; however, due to his alcohol consumption, maintaining consistency proved challenging.

<blockquote>
 "I had to step down due to my struggle with alcoholism. Previously, drinking consumed most of my time, causing me to miss work and even crucial events. Eventually, I began attending Radio Citizen every Friday and Saturday where I co-hosted alongside Willy M Mtuva, someone who provided me with an opportunity. We initiated a show which we're still running today. I am grateful; however, I realized I couldn’t go into broadcasting since after waking up, I’d get intoxicated around seven o'clock and by eleven, when checking myself out in the mirror, I knew getting behind the microphone hungover wouldn’t do," he elaborated.
</blockquote>

 He mentioned that Bahati challenged him about associating with the wrong people and forced him to pick either managing him or continuing to drink.

<blockquote>
 God informed me that He has appointed the musician to guide her back to school so she can acquire wisdom and good habits, then return again with gospel music.

 Weezdom discusses dating Mylee Staicey
</h2>

 Recently, Weezdome criticized his former partner, Mylee Staicey, following her attendance at Oga Obinna's event where she participated in an exposé discussion.


 Staicey disclosed details about what transpired in their relationship and mentioned that he had once deceived her by claiming he met a wealthy individual at a concert.


 Weezdom, when talking about his ex, expressed gratitude towards God for not having any children together, even though they were parents to five kids between them.

【定年後の仕事】無理をせず「短時間で働ける職種」ランキング、2位は清掃員。では1位は？

DIWIDA.NEWS business, employment, job, jobs and careers, workers

「60歳以降の仕事人生にも、ガイドが必要だ」
 
 
 
 ――そう語るのは、リクルートワークス研究所の坂本貴志さん。高齢期の就労・賃金を専門とする坂本さんが、
 
 65歳以上・640万人のデータ
 
 を分析し、まとめた書籍が
 
 『月10万円稼いで豊かに暮らす　定年後の仕事図鑑』
 
 です。


 定年退職＝引退だった時代は終わり、いまや「定年後の仕事探し」を自分自身で行う時代がやってきました。本書では、実際に働いている人のデータを参照しながら、
 
 
 19カテゴリ、100種類の仕事
 
 
 を紹介。
 
 現役時代とは全く違う仕事選び
 
 のコツについても解説しています。


 ※この連載では、本書より一部を抜粋・編集して掲載します。

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BWXnO" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BWXnO.jpg"/>

 本書で紹介する職種の選定にあたっては、まず総務省「国勢調査」をもとに各職種の就業人数とその中における65歳以上の就業者が占める割合を算出し、高齢期の就業者が一定の数と割合で働いている職種を割り出すことで、「就業しやすい職種」19のカテゴリを特定した。


 その後、特定した職業の中で医師や弁護士、エンジニアなど特殊な資格や長期の就業経験を要するものを除いたうえで、シニアからでも始めやすくかつ無理なく働ける職業（つまり満足度の高い仕事）を選び、掲載を行っている。


 さらに本書では、各職業について、総務省統計局から総務省「就業構造基本調査」のオーダーメード集計を入手したうえで、各職種の年齢別の就業人口、高齢者比率、女性比率、65歳以上の就業者の週労働時間、年収、就業・雇用形態を算出している。

<h2>
 定年後の仕事、勤務時間が短い1位は塾講師など、資格が不要な「専門職」
</h2>

 1位は「その他専門職」。専門性を要する職業のうち、塾講師、個人レッスン教師、司書、カウンセラーなど高齢になっても始められる仕事だ。


 就業者のシニア比率は11・9％で特別多いわけではないが、75歳を超えても働く人が一定数存在し、長く続けるという意味ではありうる選択肢だ。自営業が70・4％と非常に多く、個人で習い事教室や学習塾などを経営する人も多い。


 実際に働く人を対象に行ったアンケート調査では、仕事の良い面として「自己研鑽ができる」「自分のスキルを生かせる」（塾講師）、「生徒さんたちと音の世界を一緒に楽しみながら成長していける」（ピアノ講師）、「クライアントに役に立つアドバイスや助言ができる」（カウンセラー）、「病院図書室で医療従事者の助けになる」（司書）などのコメントがあった。


 一方、悪い面では「収入が少ない。宣伝費がかかる」「生徒数を増やすための営業が難しい」「月謝遅延、未納があったりする」（塾講師）など、運営経費がかかることや生徒数の変動により収入が安定しないと指摘する人が多かった。個人で事業を始める場合は資材や生徒の獲得なども必要となるため、できれば定年の少し前から始めるとよいだろう。

Working at a Leading Quantum Lab: These Are the Key Qualifications Recruiters Want

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B4BUW" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B4BUW.jpg"/>
 <ul class="summary-list">
 <li>
 Yaad Oren serves as the managing director for SAP Labs US and leads the company's global business technology innovation team.
 </li>
 <li>
 SAP stands as the biggest software firm outside of America and a frontrunner in cloud-based quantum computing solutions.
 </li>
 <li>
 Oren shared with BI the requirements for entering the field and described his experiences working in a quantum laboratory.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Should industry leaders’ predictions come to pass, 2030 will mark the beginning of the decade known as
 quantum computing
 , causing an explosion of innovation much like machine learning and artificial intelligence have over the last decade. Yaad Oren, a managing director at SAP Labs, one of the world's biggest software companies, shared how to get into this growing field.
 
 
 Quantum computing is a multidisciplinary field involving elements from computer science, physics, and mathematics. It leverages quantum mechanics to solve complex problems faster than is possible using classical computers, with researchers optimistic it could revolutionize medicine, data privacy, and more. Advancement in the field relies both on hardware research and software and algorithmic development — and the quantum business is booming.
 
 
 According to research by Boston Consulting Group, the industry attracted $1.2 billion from venture capitalists in 2023 despite a 50% drop in overall tech investments that year. BCG projects that quantum computing will create between $450 billion and $850 billion of economic value globally and sustain a $90-$170 billion market for hardware and software providers by the year 2040.
 
 
 According to LinkedIn, the salary ranges for positions in quantum computing start at around $150,000 annually but can soar significantly over $500,000 per year based on the specific job title and organization. But what skills do you need to enter this expanding—and highly profitable—sector?
 
 
 Oren serves as the managing director at SAP Labs US and leads the company’s global business technology innovation team. As the world's biggest non-U.S.-based software firm by revenue, SAP holds a prominent position in cloud-based quantum computing solutions.
 
 
 He informed Business Insider that in the industry, recruiters prioritize finding candidates with curiosity above all else.
 
 
 Certainly, we require expertise — as quantum is an incredibly profound field of science and practice demanding extensive knowledge — however, if you keep up with the industry trends, you'll notice there are numerous areas where this isn’t the only requirement.
 disruptions going with quantum
 Oren stated, "We’re certainly searching for individuals who can drive change and foster curiosity since the field isn’t confident that today’s quantum tech will prevail as the ultimate design. It’s akin to constructing a structure from scratch.”
 
 
 With so much of the final architecture of the quantum landscape still undecided, the companies advancing the technology — including IBM, Microsoft, Google, and
 Amazon
 — are reliant on new ideas, and researchers resilient enough to handle failure, Oren said.
 
 
 "Some projects will be successful, some of them will fail," Oren said. "This is why I think many young people coming to the industry have the ability to be change agents and challenge the paradigm that we have today."
 
 
 For those looking to break into the industry, expertise in developing algorithms, hardware engineering,
 cryptography
 , and data science are skills in high demand. There's a lot of overlap with those working now in artificial intelligence, and the two technologies will feed off each other. Still, a wide range of engineering skills and computer science is required to fulfill the promise of quantum computing — and workers who manage to snag one of these in-demand quantum roles should be prepared to wear multiple hats.
 
 
 "The average day is very diverse at the moment because the field is maturing very fast, and there's so much to do," Oren said.
 
 
 A typical day for a quantum expert at SAP Labs starts with conducting research, the complexity of which varies depending on the project being tackled. However, the company's researchers also partner with academics, work on public-funded projects with various governments, and meet with business clients to identify and address their needs.
 
 
 However, due to the multitude of stakeholders and interests involved, the range of activities we engage in and the variety of partners we collaborate with make our work incredibly intriguing," Oren stated. "Given all this interest, it’s an exceptionally fascinating period to be part of the quantum field—not just within academic laboratories, where things are already quite remarkable.
 
 
 If he were to offer one piece of advice to someone just starting out in the realm of quantum computing, it would be to gain proficiency in related areas such as quantum physics.
 quantum mechanics
 , and quantum chemistry — because, unlike their classical counterparts, working with quantum systems requires an entirely different vocabulary and skill set.
 
 
 Quantum is tackling exponential complexity, implying that when multiple variables come into play, the increase in complexity isn’t just linear but exponential," stated Oren. However, he also noted that this intricate nature offers "numerous possibilities for development.

Gen Z Rejects Silent Salary Talks: The Job Hunt Revolution

DIWIDA.NEWS economics, employment, job, jobs and careers, work and pay

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1z6xqh" data-reference="video"/>

 In the age of
 online job hiring
 There are several factors that might prevent members of Generation Z from submitting their forms.
 résumé
 —that is when the job posting does not list the compensation.

<h2>
 
 Why It Matters
 
</h2>

 By 2030, Gen Z is expected to compose 58 percent of the worldwide workforce and might significantly influence various evolving workplace trends.


 The team comprising employees aged up to 28 years is leading significant transformations in recruitment divisions as firms aim to attract premier talent.

<h2>
 What To Know
</h2>

 A recent report from EduBirdie suggests that firms might be deterring young people, as 58% of Generation Z respondents stated they wouldn’t submit an application if
 the salary
 is not revealed beforehand.


 Furthermore, 71 percent of Generation Z respondents stated that they think wages ought to be freely talked about at work.


 Given that numerous Generation Z individuals face economic instability due to increasing expenses and educational debts, there might be a stronger inclination for them to ensure they receive fair compensation from employers even prior to the interview process.


 The study, derived from feedback provided by 2,000 individuals aged 18 to 27, indicated that 58 percent of Generation Z respondents considered an income ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 per year as sufficient for achieving financial security.


 Nevertheless, many believe higher expectations prevail in contemporary society, with one in every four people stating they would require anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 for a comfortable living.


 While the youngest working generation frequently needs financial support from their parents to cover expenses, 41 percent of Gen Z members admit they still count on their families financially.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1zx5he" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1zx5he.jpg"/>
<h2>
 What People Are Saying
</h2>

 
 Avery Morgan, who serves as the chief human resources officer at EduBirdie, stated in an official declaration:
 
 Even though numerous individuals continue depending on support from their parents, this cohort remains decidedly driven. According to our findings, they do not anticipate securing financial security through fortunate marriages or inheritances. Rather, 17 percent think they will achieve an income of $200,000 by the time they reach 30 years old—an aspirational target that requires smart professional decisions, ongoing education, and perhaps some fortune as well.


 
 Alex Beene, who teaches financial literacy at the University of Tennessee at Martin, stated
 
 
 :
 
 Studies continue to show that members of Generation Z link their personal and professional well-being more closely with the earnings they make compared to previous generations. For numerous individuals within this group, employment doesn’t primarily revolve around finding satisfaction; instead, it’s seen as a means to generate income that can afford them goods and experiences which bring fulfillment.


 He stated, “Not all employers who omit salary ranges from job postings do so out of malicious intent; often, they refrain from sharing such details due to worries about how this might affect perceptions among other team members regarding their compensation relative to others or when comparing roles within different organizations. Nonetheless, with Generation Z increasingly entering the labor market, these companies might want to reassess their stance. Crucially, however, it’s not only Generation Z that will demand clearer insights into salaries moving forward—increasing inflation rates mean workers spanning various age groups now seek greater transparency concerning wages.”


 
 Bryan Driscoll, a human resources (HR) consultant, stated
 
 
 
 Generation Z has seen preceding generations receive unclear assurances and being instructed to feel thankful just for having employment. When jobs demand much more than what they compensate, applicants not only seek but also rightfully expect transparency from the start. The labor market has transformed, and businesses unwilling to adjust risk losing an entire cohort of skilled individuals.

<h2>
 What Happens Next?
</h2>

 Employers who restrict access to salary details may find themselves with fewer applications going ahead, according to Driscoll.


 The irony lies in the fact that corporations assert their desire for top-tier talent, but simultaneously, numerous organizations still anticipate applicants to submit applications indiscriminately without considering whether the compensation is sufficient to live on, not to mention meeting industry benchmarks and role-specific expectations,” he stated additionally. “To set the record straight, this issue doesn’t pertain solely to Generation Z—it’s merely poor corporate planning.”

 He remarks, 'It’s amusing; as I delve deeper into this, I find myself seeking less specific knowledge or expertise.' He continues, ‘What truly matters is having a curious mindset and being adaptable rather than focusing on past experiences.’


 Hyams investigates those two soft skills by asking these questions in every interview he conducts, he says:

<ol>
 <li>
 What piques your intense curiosity?" Alternatively, "What holds deep significance for you?
 </li>
 <li>
 Share with me a tale from your past where you felt absolutely certain about an idea only to later discover you were entirely mistaken.
 </li>
</ol>

 The responses you provide don’t strictly have to be job-related. As Hyams mentions, “What I’m really keen on is something that isn’t tied to professional matters.” For instance, discussing the art of making sourdough bread for around 45 minutes could suffice; this might include detailing the 57 distinct recipes you’ve experimented with, as well as exploring how varying temperatures and moisture levels affect outcomes. According to Hyams, when individuals exhibit such fervent interest... then it’s all about identifying what else they could passionately engage with?

 Likewise, Hyams looks for staff members capable of adapting when their strategy or concept doesn’t work out, and then taking responsibility for the setback. Various other business leaders, including the billionaire serial entrepreneur

 , also recognizes flexibility as a highly sought-after job skill — particularly with the growing integration of artificial intelligence into work environments.


 "As someone who has never made a mistake, or as one who refuses to acknowledge their mistakes, would likely prove difficult to collaborate with since everybody errs at times," according to Hyams.


 The CEO of Indeed adopts a more innovative approach to interviews: He usually refrains from reviewing applicants’ resumes prior to their discussion. His aim is to form an opinion about individuals without being influenced by their CVs.
 according to what they demonstrate to him
 without letting what was written on the paper affect him.


 "Eliminating as many preconceptions beforehand is crucial for me when evaluating someone,” Hyams states. “While I strive to be rational and open-minded, everyone—including myself—has inherent biases. For instance, despite my efforts, I can’t escape my prejudices towards specific educational institutions, particular qualifications, and certain corporations; they remain ingrained habits.”


 When interviewing candidates for the same position, being aware that one applicant holds an equivalent job title could unconsciously lead to bias towards that individual, as he points out. Such prejudices can hinder advancement opportunities for specific demographics such as "women, racial minorities, and individuals with disabilities" within organizations, according to Hyams.


 He states that one of Indeed’s fundamental principles is the belief that talent is widespread, yet opportunities are unevenly distributed.

Why 42% of Workers Would Say 'No' to a Promotion: The Surprising Truth Behind Career Aspirations

DIWIDA.NEWS business, job, jobs and careers, work and pay, workforce

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1vG4ep" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1vG4ep.jpg"/>

 Broadly speaking, the typical narrative from corporate America suggests this progression: Begin at an entry-level position, put in significant effort over time, and achieve several promotions leading up to a high-ranking managerial role. Each promotion brings increased compensation, enhanced perks, and greater authority — ideally making your efforts feel well justified.


 However, in recent times, the appeal of advancing within one’s career has diminished; not only have promotions become more difficult to secure, but individuals are also openly declining them.


 The job market has slowed down in recent years, along with the chances for individuals to advance their careers. Out of approximately 68 million white-collar employees, only 1.3 percent received promotions during the initial quarter of 2024, data shows.
 According to Bloomberg reports referencing ADP data,
 That's the lowest rate recorded during any first quarter over the past five years, which is worrying considering January is typically one of the major months for promotions.


 This can significantly affect employees' satisfaction levels at work. According to an October poll involving over 5,200 participants, approximately 38% of workers expressed dissatisfaction regarding promotion prospects, whereas only around 26% reported being content with these opportunities.
 Pew Research Center
 .


 However, despite being given an opportunity for advancement, many employees might decline: 42% of American workers stated they would reject a promotion as they are content with their present role, surveys reveal.
 data from Randstad
 , the HR firm.


 Why then aren’t individuals joyfully embracing the opportunity for advancement? According to experts and employees, several elements could be contributing to this situation:

<h4>
 Individuals are already experiencing being overwhelmed with work and inadequately compensated.
</h4>

 Many individuals already perceive themselves as performing tasks typically associated with a higher position than their current job titles indicate. However, they aren’t receiving additional compensation for this extra work.


 The majority of employees, specifically 76%, report that they are currently doing so.
 more than what's expected
 According to Pew data, some of them experience this at their workplace.


 Meanwhile, 29% say they're unhappy with their salary, according to Pew, with many citing concerns that their pay
 hasn't kept pace
 Given the rising costs of daily expenses, they find themselves earning insufficient amounts to cover all their bills, and simultaneously, they are receiving lower wages compared to another employee doing equivalent tasks.


 Exactly what prompted Sherrika Sanders, who is 44 years old from Atlanta, to turn down an initial promotion within her organization a few years back was precisely this factor.


 Initially, Sanders was presented with an opportunity to be promoted from accounting manager to assistant controller. However, the issue was that she was already performing the responsibilities of the more senior position. Additionally, based on market values, she was aware that she was being compensated below what would be fair for her current workload.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1vG6kF" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1vG6kF.jpg"/>

 "Ninety percent of the time, prior to receiving a promotion from your current employer, you have likely begun performing those duties," according to Sanders.


 In her view, the increase in salary from the new promotion wasn't enough to compensate for the extra responsibilities she would have to take on.


 She spoke with the company's vice president and presented her case — even going so far as to pull out a "
 kudos folder
 of her recognized achievements and commendations, along with how she surpassed project timelines and milestones.


 Sanders mentions that having the option to turn down the offer was significant: That same day, the VP increased the compensation, leading Sanders to accept it.

<h4>
 The stress levels at work are increasing.
</h4>

 A lot of businesses have experienced swift changes since 2020, involving significant staff turnovers and extensive recruitment drives, shifting to remote and blended working environments, reshaping their team structures, augmenting job duties, and grappling with financial constraints. This has made the role of managers even more challenging as they navigate these transitions.


 Seventy-three percent of employees report that their organization has undergone significant disruption in the past year, a trend linked to increased instances of burnout, as indicated by the study.
 recent report from Gallup
 .


 The last two years of cost-cutting means that "middle-managers and front-line managers have been disproportionately affected," says Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor. Laying off middle managers leaves more work for the ones who remain, with higher expectations with fewer resources to boot.


 The accumulating pressure from management responsibilities might adversely impact newer employees; a recent survey revealed that 52% of Generation Z workers expressed no desire to take on managerial roles.

 , a recruiting firm.

<h4>
 Promotions may divert you from your intended career path.
</h4>

 Budget reductions and organizational reshuffling might result in the new position your supervisor intends to advance you to looking nothing like what you're truly interested in pursuing.


 Executives often reject promotions when they feel the opportunities do not match their professional paths, according to Debra Boggs, who founded and runs D&S Executive Career Management, an executive recruitment company. She explains that taking up positions distant from one’s core skills or long-term career objectives might hinder progress toward future aspirations. Reverting to previous roles afterward becomes challenging due to lost momentum.


 Sanders, the accountant, also declined a promotion for similar reasons.


 During the summertime in 2017, she managed the accounting department for the U.S. and Canadian divisions at a telecommunications firm. She then received an offer to take on a more extensive responsibility, leading a bigger group.


 Nevertheless, seizing the chance would take her away from the duties she was involved in.
 more passionate about
 : revolutionizing accounting procedures and strengthening her compact team.


 Therefore, she gracefully turned down the proposal yet indicated her dedication to advancing within her present position. Her efforts were geared towards enhancing her skills in accounting, allocating resources for her team’s professional development, and also embracing fresh chances to speak and teach.


 Sanders, who currently manages her own business, continues to lead in this field.

 For accounting professionals and teams, she believes the experience demonstrated that career advancement doesn’t solely involve climbing “up.” Instead, she found success by progressing in a way that was more closely aligned with her passions and skills.

<h4>
 Not everybody aspires to become a manager at present.
</h4>

 It's crucial to keep in mind that not everybody aims to climb the career ladder or
 becoming a manager
 .


 Zhao from Glassdoor remarks, “A lot of individuals might test it out only to conclude it’s not their cup of tea. Conversely, some folks choose not to even attempt it since they’re aware it doesn’t align with their interests.”


 According to Sherri Carpineto, 48, a career coach and senior director of operations at a healthcare firm based in Boston, it can be beneficial to openly discuss your professional objectives with your supervisor in such situations.


 She suggests that perhaps you might be interested in taking on additional responsibilities or exploring new projects to keep challenging yourself," she states. "However, it’s perfectly fine to simply complete your daily tasks, return home each evening, and receive your salary without aspiring to climb higher up the career ladder.


 Her point is that your choice not to advance professionally at this time doesn’t need to be permanent, she says.


 Once, Carpineto remained with an organization for 15 years despite receiving multiple job offers from external firms that offered more prestigious positions and better compensation. Even so, within her current company, she did receive periodic salary increases along with advancements in her role.


 She explains, “I made this choice due to having young children. Additionally, my mother was quite unwell during that period.” She continues, “Thus, I felt content staying put, leading a team, and embracing certain responsibilities without departing from the firm or aiming for a vice presidency.”


 When all is said and done, she remarks, “Declining an advancement today since you’re taking care of someone, relocating to another part of the country, getting married, or simply feeling unprepared for it, does not imply that you won’t be able to pursue it at some point in the future.”

3 Job Interview Red Flags from a Recruiter Who's Screened Thousands: Arriving Too Early Can Backfire

DIWIDA.NEWS business, employees, job, job interviews, manners and etiquette

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1uzyjp" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1uzyjp.jpg"/>

 During a job interview, be it online or face-to-face, ensure you adhere to proper etiquette.


 "As perquisites, ensure that you maintain proper eye contact," he mentions.
 Emily Levine
 , Executive Vice President at the recruiting company
 Career Group Companies
 you gauge the situation to determine the right moment for speaking up and when it’s suitable to pose your questions.


 Levine mentions that throughout her career, she has conducted interviews with "thousands upon thousands of individuals," frequently representing high-profile celebrities seeking personal assistants or chiefs of staff.


 Below are Levine's finest recommendations for steering clear of her most common warning signs during a job interview.

<h4>
 Avoid arriving too soon.
</h4>

 Firstly, ensure you reach your destination at a suitable time, particularly if you plan to be present physically.


 Show up too late, and you could miss part of your interview, which would waste your interviewer’s time and create a poor impression. However, arriving excessively early can be seen as overly enthusiastic and may put pressure on the interviewer, according to Levine. The ideal time to arrive is approximately ten minutes before your scheduled meeting.


 Levine suggests arriving at the building 15 to 20 minutes ahead of schedule as a safety measure. This way, you'll have ample time to locate the specific suite or office number without being too early for your scheduled interview.

<h4>
 I aim to present myself with the utmost professionalism.
</h4>

 Presentation is also key.


 Whether you’re online or in-person, “avoid chewing gum and refrain from wearing your sunglasses on your forehead” during the interview, advises Levine. Such behaviors are considered overly casual and not professional enough.


 If you're attending in person, ensure you aren’t “reeking of tobacco or doused in fragrance,” she advises. Many individuals have sensitivities to smells, so you should guarantee their comfort when they’re in your presence.


 She states, "Your desire should be to make an impact grounded in your actual experiences, rather than based on your attire or scent."

<h4>
 Don't divulge confidential information
</h4>

 Ultimately, irrespective of your previous career experience, be deliberate in how you discuss it.


 Steer clear of speaking negatively about past bosses or sharing excessive details that might be protected under nondisclosure agreements, advises Levine. In her field, many of her clients require new hires to agree to such terms. If job seekers claim they’ve agreed not to disclose sensitive data yet go ahead and reveal private info from former workplaces, it raises concerns for her.


 No matter how discreet your potential employer has been, disclosing confidential details suggests that if they were to hire you and share sensitive information, you would probably do the same with their competitors down the line, according to Levine.
