Why Iraq’s Ration Card Can’t be Scrapped

By Hassan Latif al-Zubaidi.

This article was originally published by Niqash. Any opinions expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.

It’s not the first time the Iraqi government has tried to abolish the ration card system. And it won’t be the last. Kufa University’s Hassan al-Zubaidi, an adviser on poverty reduction, explains why the ration card just won’t go away.

Last week the Iraqi Cabinet announced plans to abolish the ration card system, with which the government gives out household staples to the populace. The scrapping of the social welfare plan, which is over 20 years old, was seen as an important step toward economic development in the private sector; it’s something that has long been recommended by economic analysts. However, only five days after the decision was made, it proved to be so controversial

Six Factors That Can Cost You the Interview-Job

By Bonnie Lowe

Most job seekers know that an unprofessional appearance will count against them at an interview. Here are six MORE factors that can help you remain in the unemployment line:

(1) Being unprepared for the interview. Prepare, plan, and practice! In today’s tough job market, you MUST do everything you can to give yourself an edge… preparation is the key.

(2) Not being able to communicate clearly and effectively. This is important during the interview and on the job. Being nervous can really mess up your communication skills, so being well prepared and practicing what you’re going to say are always your best bet.

(3) Being aggressive, arrogant, or acting in a superior way. No one wants to hire or work with people who think they’re better than everyone else. Be careful with your attitude, even if you think you’re surrounded by incompetent fools. Being confident is good. Being an arrogant jerk is bad.

(4) Making excuses for failings. Your teacher never bought “The dog ate my homework!” and your boss isn’t going to buy “The finance department gave me the wrong figures!” In the grown-up world, you have to take responsibility for what you are responsible for! You’ll never earn respect by blaming others when things go wrong.

(5) Saying unfavorable things about previous employers. Even if you left a job because the boss was an egomaniac who took credit for all of your hard work, verbally abused you in front of others, and poisoned the plant on your desk, don’t say anything bad about him/her during an interview. When asked “Why did you leave your last job?” say something like “My manager and I both agreed that my advancement opportunities were limited there and obtaining another position was the best option for me and my career goals.”

(6) Having a poor/limp handshake. Why do people think you’ll be a lousy employee if you have a lousy handshake? That’s not really logical, is it? Doesn’t matter. It just turns people off and gives them a bad impression of you. So make your handshake firm and confident but not bone-crushing. (It’s not a competition to see who winces first!)

If you DON’T want to be unemployed, don’t let any of those traits apply to you!

Three Reasons Why Professionalism Is Campaigned By Employment Agencies

By Mary Margaret Duque

The increasing preference for what you know and what you can do, over whom you know, created a renewed sphere of trust among applicants all over the globe. Employment agencies’ campaign of strengthening professionalism and craftsmanship generated positive waves of response from the external stakeholders.

Way back in the old days, people get jobs and are elevated into higher positions because of the people they know inside the organization. In government offices, although a prohibition on office nepotism has been made into law, there were way too many incidences of political accommodations committed by those put in positions. As a result, those who were not accommodated or hired, but have the skills and were qualified for the positions, lost their trust and confidence in the impartiality of the screening and selection process. Until recently, employment agencies, along with idealistic employers and vigilant stakeholders, acted to renew the working populations’ trust and confidence in the employment process and in the merit system, both in the private and civil services. These individuals and entities believed that merits should still be the sole basis of employment and promotion. This is actually the first step towards a larger goal of improving the quality of human resource of any organization. Below are top three reasons for this active campaign.

1. Profitability of an organization can only be maximized if the right people are put into positions.

Employment agencies work hand in hand with employers to increase the latter’s business profitability. They acknowledge the crucial fact that a particular sales target or a particular revenue can only be achieved if the people working within the team are equipped with the right skills and craftsmanship to get the job done right and excellently. When you hire base on political accommodations and in debt of gratitude, you are not doing your organization a favor. You are actually sabotaging its success by putting in unqualified people.

2. Empowered people help create synergy within the organization.

Once an employer practices professionalism in dealing with its human resource, the natural tendency is for its human resource to look at him with high regard and with utmost respect. That respect will soon translate into trust, the kind of trust which moves people to be honest and proactive with their efforts in contributing to the goal of the entire organization.

3. Professionalism is contagious.

A single positive act can move others to do the same. If the employer and the employment agencies are practicing professionalism in their dealings with their employees and their applicants, it is consequential that the latter group will emulate. Soon, everybody will be spreading goodwill all over the place.
