Jobs have evolved, HR has evolved and the world generally is evolving. Change is something that is constant and we must all endeavor to ensure that we are up-to-date with trends in other for us to thrive in our job search or career aspirations.

CV/ Resume contents have moved from story telling to ''contents''. By ''contents'' I meant substance.
Figures and results of who you are, what you have achieved and what you are able to do.
Meetings and general office discussions are now dependent on data and figures rather than words.

Having this perspective would help you generally so when next you are applying for a customer service role, let it look like something below:

If you have this sort of resume and I can assure you that you would stand out. However, do not copy everything as it is. This is just an insight for you and ensure it is streamlined to suit your purposes.

NOTE: The courses you would list should be the ones that are expressly relevant with the job applying for.

No be where you see vacancy you go carry CV go? Rat Don eat Veekid CV more than 3 times... When 4.3million Don loose job under babu... Abeg let me drink my gari

veekid:


You so much get time today baje baje; you're all over places

fleps:
Hmmm. I will update this space


UPDATE
I appreciate the effort by the OP in putting these here and I thank the MODs for taking this to frontpage. This will enable some critique and some corrections made

First off, I am a recruiter and I have been screening CVs for clients, rewriting and appraising CVs as well since 2013. The CV presented by the OP can be better rewritten as bellow:




The ABOVE is just a quick and simple/better presentation.

Now let me explain some of the changes...

For the HEADER, I removed the social media because I do not need it. Besides, you might forget to remove it if you submit your CV in hard copy. I may just consider you dumb if you printed your CV in hard copy and there is a social media profile link. It is best to just remove it.

For the Career Statement/Objective, the info the OP gave there is a duplicate of the Education Section. Career Objective implies what or how you intend to use your experience or skills in my organisation. So tell me that and not a copy of what you will still tell me. Mostly, when I am interviewing candidates, my first questions come from the Career Statement/Objective because I realise may people just copy and paste and do not even know what is written there.

Then the Skills and Competencies are the next. This is where you nail it with the skills you have. Check the Job Specification of the job advert and identify the ones you have, then include in this section.

For the EDUCATION, the name of the university should not come first. I am more concerned about what you studied than where you studied it. It is in few cases where the client wants candidates from a specific school that may count. That is why working with the JD of the posted job is important. DO NOT include your grade IF and ONLY IF the JD does not request it and IF it is below SECOND CLASS LOWER. This will erode any discrimination the CV reviewer/screener may have. It helps you advance to the next stage so that they can see you at the interview and get to know you better instead of judging you from the letterings of your CV

For EXPERIENCE, that is already well written but there is a new observation which I am still trying to get valid reasons for backed up with research before I make it known to the Recruiting Community and post on my blog. I think placing the industry or what your company does beside the company name on your CV will put you in better light with the recruiters. For example:

ABC Company (plastic manufacturing company) Sapele, Delta State.

This will make me know what industry you have relevant experience and save me more time researching the company in case I am searching for candidates in a particular industry. Some companies are not popular and one may not know immediately what industry they are in e.g Andela (popular, but do you know the industry?). Placing the industry will also enable Applicant Tracking Systems to pull your CV out faster just because of the 'industry keyword'. For instance, I am presently searching for Business Analysts that have relevant experience (5 years) in the Manufacturing industry (send CV to cv@acegoals.com). I need to know the industry you have worked in from just looking at your CV because I will get a lot and would not want to just start searching each 'unpopular' company

Now, I included LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE because you have better advantage if I know that you have to ability to lead, take decisions and influence others positively. So even if it is Volunteering experience, please include it.

Now PERSONAL DETAILS. Please and please, DO NOT INCLUDE all your life's info there. I don't what to know your village or birthplace or Local government etc... In fact, remove anything PERSONAL DETAILS for experienced applications or individuals. It should only come in if the JD or job post says something about it, then you MUST include the info the employer wants. If age is very much on your side, please include it. For graduate trainees or fresh graduates younger than 26 years please include it. Employers love young graduates for Management Trainee or Fresh Graduate roles

Others are self-explanatory.

IN CONCLUSION...
Never include on your CV anything that will not help you secure an INTERVIEW or the job with the company OR TAKE OUT anything that you cannot defend and would put you in bad light with the employer.

This is my humble contribution

PS: I am also hiring for a Personal Assistant (apart from the Business Analyst above) for a LAW FIRM. Candidate must be a fresh graduate and only OND HOLDERS are required for this position. I am shortlisting CVs tomorrow so deadline is tonight. Send CV to cv@acegoals.com
