To the veterans in the house pls, is it ok to use a small biz one once had or did as an experience on a cv? For example, while in school, I sold recharge card, phone accessories and charge phones. Now that am about to start submitting cv, my friend is telling me to use that as a 3yrs experience. Is it acceptable?

Absolutely yes! I dunno bout the 3 years stuff but include it, and write bout what you learnt doing it and what progress you made

It is an excellence idea to add such experience to your CV. Some many employers are looking for self-starters with entrepreneur traits so that should give you an edge.

Believe me, such experience (if properly packaged) would lead to Interviewers as some Employers would just want to meet you out of curiosity. An Interview takes you a step closer to the job.

I'm sure most of us know that most firms now use the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) to filter CVs. The way it works is that the ATS looks for certain keywords in your CV. If those keywords are found wanting, your CV is screened out!

That definitely is the REASON why so many of us have sent out CVs over a thousand times with little or NO interview invites. There are some online applications you can use to score and access your CV to know how your CV is rated. One of such is www.rezscore.com. Here, all you need is upload your CV and it scores your CV, which is usually between in percentage and between A and F.

My old CV was rated just about 50% initially. I however got the help of a friend who helped me re-write the CV, he re-formatted my CV and put the keywords that all ATS systems look out for. After uploading on Rezscore again, I scored a whooping 90%! and the grade A-

OK! I thought it was a fluke! I applied for 3 different jobs last week and I got an interview invite from 1 of them already! WHAO!

So here's the deal. I'm willing to give out a copy of this at a TOKEN (I paid more for it!) email me at cvflawless@gmail.com if interested.
