Nihilist:.Lmao! I'm not going to engage in cheap Banter with You and I'm also not going to drop the name of the company as well, But I'll say this I'm an accountant by training and also graduated with a 2:1 from the University of Lagos and as such I don't think even your Father's company can pay my wages. We didn't come to this world together and I don't subscribe to people doing things in one Particular way. Don't know about You but a lot of people out there aren't Zombies you know. what I said was just a Personal Opinion. I also believe You can Read and read between the Lines as well. I didn't say those were the Only questions I was asked as I was also asked technical questions. nuff said Cheers! |

Do you think it is appropriate to tell your potential boss about your private life before you even get to meet her? And let’s assume it is; is a document as important as a CV the perfect means to convey that bit of information? You see, these and many questions usually beg for an answer when drafting the bio-data section of your CV. However, deciding to include your marital status in your CV is a matter of different strokes for different folks. Remember that in my last post I made it clear that whatever would not help you land a job should never be included in your CV? Well, this pretty much looks like one of such things. For most employers, this information is very unnecessary. It says nothing about your skills and ability to deliver on the job. Though, this information may be required when preparing your work benefits and other packages, you should at the least, get the job first, don’t you think? Some may argue against this though. This school of thought believe your marital status should appear in your CV especially as this puts you in a pole position to land certain roles that require the stability and steadiness of a family man/woman. They say married people tend to take their jobs more seriously and stay longer on it due to the different responsibilities and obligation they to fulfill, in which a steady income plays a huge role. To this I have one question; would your chances of landing such jobs be limited simply because you did not add information about your marital status in your CV? It is an obvious NO. Such information can be provided during the interview or even later when you finally land the job. So to answer the overarching question, I’d say you should not include information about your marital status in your CV. It’s unnecessary. Period! |

Good Rules. I attended a seminar where i was taught how to write resume.there are reasons behind each of the points he mention above; for instance.you age can screen you out.--the employer might be looking for 30 years old applicant,if you are 27years old and not stated on your resume and were invited for interview,you might get the job as you prove your self. Religion may also hinder you.the HR person might hate christian or muslim due to one reason and other,He/she can drop the your resume because of that. Marital Status,this can be of help sometimes,as Married applicant stand a chance of getting job if compete with single fellow,because they believe he/she is more matured and responsible. |

Op.... forget story, get well connected, protocol will be breached. Your CV becomes formality. |

DonUjay: Not too sure about the bolded. In a corporate environment, those details are not necessary. Your employers may not be as open-minded to evaluate you objectively. It's not quite advisable. What works for Obi might not work for Bimbo. But that's not to say it can't be attempted. |

And after they promised to get back to you, they will be like "mr., if you want the job, come and collect It." GOD BLESS YOU. |

living2013:Well personally, these things are inescapable, they would still know all these,one can't hide it for long If it matters, if being married won't get a man the job, no matter how he does it by not putting it in his CV, he won't still get it except he lies. Sometimes, it favors and don't be too quick at disadvantages. Meanwhile, your skills, expertise, career prospects, what your contributions would be and experience are what employers are after. Who cares about all this during SJT, ability test, competency test, check test, Verbal Reasoning? It takes Grace to scale through to interview where those things u pointed out won't matter. After series of test with a group of companies, I was invited for an interview where they asked many things including the ring in my finger what purpose it serves to things like my Marital Status despite seeing it in my CV to why wasn't I married, etc. What pleases an employer might just be nonsense to another! |

living2013:.Point Noted! we all Have different Opinions that's what makes life fun. Concerning DOB: I just feel since alot of companies always have age requirements it wouldn't be out of place of you include it but if you choose to leave it out because you dont meet the age requirement (which is a smart move) you are only postponing the day of reckoning |

DonUjay: The fact that they were asking you if you were the first 'child' in your family, and what 'extra-curricular activities' already suggests to me that you were being interviewed for a junior position. Coupled with the fact that your 'brag' was based on your class of degree, and not that you were chartered or years of experience, it's pretty obvious that you are a fresh graduate who is either looking or probably just got a job. Considering hoe many experienced accountants outside the big firms are paid, I doubt that your payslip matches up to your loud boasts. I'd be very surprised if you make up to 100k monthly sef...but please don't let me stop you spooling your own chances with your poor CV |
Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by living2013(m): 6:05pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
abimic: You have a point! But What matters is for one to secure interview, every other things can be discussed during the exercise |
Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by living2013(m): 6:08pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
DonUjay:thanks for your understanding |

Nihilist:.Like I said we didn't come to this world together, so you probably graduated in 1986 with nothing to show for it in 2016. wake up and smell the coffee man! we Live in a Dynamic world that requires People to do something different, something other than the norm...Bigots Like you have no place in such a world cause your Brain is wired to think in only one way and Yes I'm a fresh graduate with just the final stage to write in my ICAN. I wasn't Bragging about my achievements, I only Pointed it out just to let you know I'm not a desperate Job seeker willing to do just anything (Re: your comment about the company being a start-up looking for cheap labour). Like I said earlier Life is all about uniqueness, doing what fits you best and not using templates. I Live a #Bespoke Life, its not my fault you've chosen to Live Life in a #MassProduced manner and if you continue that way I just might catch up with your mediocre average a*s along the chain man. I repeat you can't pay My wages and I doubt if your father can #LeaveTrashForLawma |

otijah: And where we're you when we were looking for a bank staff to tell us a typical bank salary for : Graduate trainee Contract staff Full time staff? |
Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by charles009(m): 7:01pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
you must include your age, For example am 31, i have a masters + tons of certifications and a staggering achievement in my 5+ years in a managerial position of a top company Belive me, Anytime I submit my CV i get an invite, i dont need the job am just basically keeping my options open. Employers are looking for unusually young talented professionals. The Era of old age is becoming an illusion. Good luck! |
Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by abimic(m): 7:17pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
living2013:Infact, the one I would prefer not be there would be the University one graduated from as some employers discriminate against schools nowadays but still, is there a time they won't still know? |

Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by Nihilist: 8:10pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
DonUjay: Like I said, and you confirmed, you're a fresh accounting graduate, unchartered, and inexperienced. No amount of hashtags can take away the simple fact that your earning power is extremely limited as an accountant...at least for now. So your 'boast' of huge wages are just exercises in self-comfort. |
Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by Nobody: 8:38pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
Nihilist:.I Live a comfortable Life Bro! You know, some of us work just cause its dignifying not necessarily to make a Living. You Probably don't understand that cause You've been so Fvcked by Poverty you can hardly see Beyond its Horizon. Your salary is not up to my rent for accommodation (small BQ) when I was in school Bro. Please don't make me Brag You need to Upgrade your Mindset and stop thinking Like a church rat |
Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by Nihilist: 8:54pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
DonUjay: The cost of a BQ is what you're bragging about? A BQ! |
Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by Nobody: 10:02pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
Nihilist:.Gosh! He doesn't even Get my analogy. You are Officially Dumb. and I thought I was arguing with one MD or one C.E.O sef You don't even have a Poosie to keep you company tonight. You Probably still Leave with your Parents sef. what a Miserable recluse! I'm done! sleep on Nairaland. Goodnight |
