Things to Remove: 1. Career Objective is too generic 2. Its "Work Experience," not Working Experience. 3. Why is IT skills appearing twice? 4. Remove the "Referees available on request". Things to add: 1.Add ur "Key Competencies" ( things u have done at work or u can do) immediately after career obj. 2. Social media address esp Linkedin (only if its complete/rich) 5 Likes |

Interest? - better to put it as Hobbies/extra curricular activities IT skills? - better put it as Generic skills. You can also add Ur coordinating, interpersonal skills to it. Reference/referees - it's better u put their details Career/professional objectives - put dis way:- to contribute my xperience & at d same time allow me to further my career skills & talent while contributing to d growth of d goodwill of d organisation & Nigeria at large. Personal details/ bio data - add Ur state, LGA too Honor & awards - Nysc cert. 2010, FSLC 1992, Bsc 2014 etc |

I don't put hobbies... They can ask if they need it, because they will always find fault from it. |

Nice recommendations from Laurel and the others, I noticed your Work experience, even as a fresh grad is quite thin, both your IT and NYSC doesn't have much to do with engineering experience, I advice you add your final year project, it's a research experience, it counts. 3 Likes |

Can you start first with removing the name ![]() Except that's a pseudo name. Nonetheless, you can use a XYZ or the sort. This is a public forum, be careful what you let out. |

1. Address: No need for stories. I am not sure anyone is sending you a correspondence to that address. Just shorten it; "7, Johnson Street, Akure, Ondo State". That's all. In fact, some even suggest that your address should be you LinkedIn address but for someone who's careful, I'd suggest you use the recommendation I gave. 2. The objective seems clumsy; I am already lost reading the first few words. Keep it simple. 3. I don't really understand the school part; if I am not mistaken, I know SSCE is different from GCE. So which one ![]() 4. Work Experience is a NO-NO for me. Scattered and disorganized. You can simply put NYSC in bracket after the organization. No need telling us how dear Nigeria is to you. 5. What year did you become a member of the NSE ![]() 6. Ditto skills (if available). If any skill has a certificate, simply merge with 'professional'. 7. The 'references available on request' is also a waste of words. |

Can you also include your final month at you PPA? If you went for service this June, write something like: Jun 2015 - May 2016 This helps HR or the prospective employer in planning. 1 Like |

Can it get me multinational companies interview?. [/quote]. The anwser to this question is no. Such CV will hardly see greenlight for any competitative vacant job position. Every employer needs candidate(professional) that will add value to their company and as a result, they are on a lookout for bespoke CV that will convince them to invite the applicant for interview. The format and description/presentation of various sections on your cv is quite unimpressive. I won't go any further, if you need guide on how to improve your cv successfully, you can hit my signature and click on "job winning cv". My advice is that you should rewrite the cv or preferrably get help from an experienced writer that will rewrite and make it captivating enough to grab the attention/interest of any employer within few seconds. Getting job nowadays is not easy especially potential ones. Its quite disappointing, costly and time wasting to miss out on any oppurtunity due to poor cv |
