SURVIVAL PACKAGE FOR GUYS IN THE MONEY INDUSTRY


Some weeks ago, I was going through some old newspapers; they are about 7 years old. I was looking for essays, articles and treasures lying in those papers - The information there could still be useful today, I thought. While browsing through the papers, the course of my search changed and I started looking for one type of information. Guess what? Employment/job opportunities and vacancies. Well, I was not looking for opportunities to work, but the criteria the employers used to employ people, their requirements and all.

As I browsed through each vacancy and job opportunity, I could sense some similarity in what employers needed and required from their potential employees. I was able to come up with some of the skills required of job seekers. Some of them included, Of course, school degrees and certifications, language proficiency, team work, ICT skills, leadership qualities, analytical and problem solving skills, proficiency in the use of software packages, and many more. I thought to myself “This information will come in handy for my guys in the money industry”. So I thought, and I have decided to write on each of these skills, associate some of them, dissociate some of them and open eyes to opportunities as a career person or an entrepreneur.

It promises to be a very interesting activity. Ensure you follow the series here on ‘The money corner’ www.mformoneyschool.blogspot.com.

Depreciation of Land

It is a norm for students to be taught that Land does not depreciate in the accounting field. However, there are cases where land could be depreciated. If you remember, or perhaps, you are not aware, there are four factors of production, namely: • Land • Labour • Capital • Entrepreneur Land as we know, is a free gift of nature (although you still have to pay for it). It is subject to diminishing returns, that means, land depreciates. It could depreciate by means of flood, erosion, or any other means. Land may not also be 'just the ground', but also resources obtainable from them. Despite the fact that Land depreciates, it is 'in most cases', not taken into account. I may not be right, but I believe it is because the value of depreciation cannot be ascertained and also because not all Lands may come in contact with adverse conditions that make them depreciate, or depreciation of land rarely occurs. For the fact that it is 'subject to', does not mean it de

Self-smart - How well do you know yourself? How well do you understand your emotions? Emotional Intelligence is concerned with self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, empathy and the ability to influence others. According to Daniel Coleman's theory, success in business depends on emotional intelligence rather than academic learning.  People with Emotional Intelligence are self-aware, self-regulated and self-motivated. They are sensitive to other's feelings and have the ability to influence people. Emotions are generally feelings, which cannot be seen or touched. You feel them. Emotional Intelligence is a ladder of your ability to deal with emotions and also use them. The ladder starts from self-awareness to self-regulation to self-motivation to empathy to your influence on others. Emotional Intelligence is a quality every leader must have. It is a quality every individual who wants to be relevant must have. • Self-awareness To be self-aware means that you know how y

SURVIVAL PACKAGE 1: DIGITAL SKILLS

Image
In this digital and information era, the relevance of technology in the money industry (Accounting, Business, Finance, and the likes) cannot be overemphasised. Systems are being updated every day; things are improved on, on a daily basis; technology is taking steps into the future. Technology proves relevant in financial reporting, using accounting packages (Peachtree, sage 50, and the likes). It is also relevant in areas of performance management/measurement in manufacturing industries. Technology is used to create systems of controls to monitor inventory and other forms of working capital. One of the demands of every employer from personnel in the money industry is ICT skills , proficiency in using Office packages (MS word, Excel, PowerPoint…). Of course, we cannot but say, it is a must-learn, even when the educational system does not implement it thoroughly. The educational sector may try its bits, but it’s never enough to meet the demands of the labour market. It is however
