Barbara Corcoran experienced every professional's worst nightmare: She landed her dream job, only to have the offer rescinded.Before the first season of ABC's "Shark Tank" aired in 2009, a producer's secretary reached out to Corcoran and asked the real estate tycoon to be an investor on the show. She "signed the contract without looking at it mailed it right back overnight," Corcoran said on a recent episode of Barstool's "Chicks in the Office" podcast.The euphoria didn't last long. Two weeks after she landed the gig, and a week before the show was set to film, Corcoran said she got a call informing her the producers decided to go with a different female investor.But Corcoran didn't take the rejection without protest."I was embarrassed. I told all my friends, 'I'm going to Hollywood,'" Corcoran, 74, said. "So I sat down and wrote an email right to them and said, 'You've made a mistake.'"Corcoran said she kept the email short, demanding that the producers "invite both women out to compete for the seat." The producers agreed, and she landed the job, she said. She has been an investor on "Shark Tank" for 14 seasons now.It's unusual for job offers to get rescinded

The Taraba State Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, on Sunday, raised an alarm over a fake LinkedIn account circulating in the state. The fake account in question was attempting to defraud applicants participating in the ongoing recruitment process embarked on by the commission. In a press statement made available to journalists in Jalingo, capital of Taraba, Corps Commander Selina Williams said it has become necessary to notify the public to prevent applicants from falling into wrong hands. She said: “FRSC recruitment process is on and there is a fake LinkedIn account operating on WhatsApp number 07069777732 and under the name Corps Marshal Dauda Biu with the intent to defraud innocent members of the public on the guise of offering them employment.” Rather than accessing the fake account, she directed applicants to visit the verified portal of the FRSC, www.recruitment.frsc.gov.ng Unlike the fake account that demands recruitment fees from applicants, Williams stressed that application on the commission’s website “does not attract any fee.” She, subsequently, enjoined prospective applicants and members of the public in Taraba State to be wary of fraudsters operating fake accounts.

I worry about the nuclear threat. I worry about a pandemic in the future, all kinds of ," Buffett said.
