Most jobseekers are lazy, reading some of the posts here indicates that. I have learnt a few things as regards writing a cover letter. Why would people keep asking for a cv format when the op has already dropped more than three cv formats. A little effort is all you need, read the formats and apply them to your own basic qualifications. 7 Likes |

biafranqueen: While working in human resources for a multi- national company I see good candidates fall through the cracks because of unprofessional resumes. I have listed the information below and will add a sample for your visual learning. Always remember to check your spelling and grammar and have someone check over your resume before sending it out.1)Only ur highest education certificate is relivant no need of writing from primary sch. 2)Referes should not b included, 3)it must not b more than a page |

biafranqueen: If you approach companies as an intern and tell them you can do office work for 3 months to gain experience and a letter of reccomendation(meaning no pay) I am sure someone will take you up on your offer. Volunteer in the field you wish to break into. Most jobs these days is about connections. This is the secret to get in without experience as well as build your network. Now that you are in the office you can meet clients that may be hiring or the company may like your outstanding work and hire you at the end of the 3 months. It is always easier to get a job when you are already working. I think this works though. I am rounding up my Masters in about a week and I have already secured a paid internship for 3months in Lagos. I wrote to them of my interest although I had earlier applied for a job with them before I left for my Masters for which I was called for an interview however, I felt the best way to get to them was requesting for an internship since someone must have picked up the position I was being interviewed for. 1 Like |

biafranqueen: Most resumes that come in are selling qualifications that have nothing to do with the job. Most people do not research the company or the job before applying. When we are filling a manager position but you qualify for entry level we just throw the resume in the circular file. We always read the resumes that come with cover letters because it sets the stage for the reader to think the resume is something special, because the applicant took the time to research the job and point out why they qualify. The cover letter is your chance to plead your case. |

...people should get one thing clear: CVs do not get you an interview! they get you whatever stage comes after the CV screening stage! and that, people, may be a loooong way from the interview... ...And please stop attaching too much significance to threads, articles or blogs titled "how to get that dream job; writing a world class CV"... ...Getting that dream job requires you to present a good CV, solve some hard questions (aptitude test and/or skills test) and speak persuasively, at length (interviews, recruitment days and/or career fairs). So prepare and arm yourself with all the necessary armament, then, maybe then, you can get that elusive dream job. ...but then you don't even stand a chance if your CV is weak and jumbled. 1 Like |

@ the OP or any other learned NLander, i have a little brother who finished in the Uni last year and went for a 6months telecoms training, now he wants to get a company where he can do his internship for about 3-6months. questions i would like to ask is that: 1. should he write to the company directly through their contact email address stating his intent? 2. or should he go directly to the company and drop his recommendation letter? I would really appreciate if my question(s) is being answered. |

biafranqueen: Add action verb's when describing your experience to polish your work to communicate, persuade, and motivate the reader to take action.So now using dis your format, how does an entry level applicant compose his CV, knowing fully well that most of what you specified above will be blank ![]() |
