EdoBoy90:That is what they say, but that is ambiguous and unofficial. Personalisation to me is everything. What you wrote above is not a professional summary, it is career objective and unfortunately, it is now obsolete. Your Professional Summary is your sales pitch. It gives a summary of your professional profile. Check my post on Tell Us About Yourself. Your Professional summary be consistent with that but concised. |

OfficialAPCNig: I don't know exactly how to start thanking you. how I wish you are close by, I will personally appreciate you with a tuber of Yam. You earn my respect!!! thank you so much for all this write up. But....... I am a graduated in Industrial Physics(Bsc) and Solid Earth geophysics (Msc). I finished my masters degree since 2015. Since my graduation, I mean my first degree, all I have been doing is apply. Lo and behold, I have not received any invitation from any firm. My last job was through recommendation by a friend which is last year although I no longer work there again. Sometimes I want to start thinking that all those crazy village people are organizing crusade on my head but am far above that. Even till now am still applying but nothing Don come out. I am waiting patiently for that day that I will receive an invitation for an interview. I don't know if you can be able to review my CV or my Cover Letter, So that I can be assured that am safe on that side and continue praying to God for my own time. Thanks in all........ You made my day!!!! |

Wantedmiller:Invariably you are asking me to put you in among the list of the 3. I can't guarantee that with 100% certainty, but the only thing I can guarantee is that we would be recruiting for that position first quarter next year and if my team is assigned the task, then I might review your CV. Lol. Till then, keep pushing. Good luck. |

SHAMHOOD:That is nice. Where do you stay at the moment and how mobile are you and how many languages can you speak? Use Streak to track them, better still refer to the previous posts. |

OfficialAPCNig: l am in a state of bother with reference to Number 9.l have seen countless CVs where skills/core qualifications come before work experience even on a lot of standard CV template that l have seen online.Why the reservation about this. Also Number 6 we have been advised severally to not include date of birth and marital status in on our CVs why the sudden turn around.Even templates l have seen dont list or carry this 1 Like |

sterlingD:Lemme start with your last question. I think I treated that before, but I will recap again. If you are applying for an entry position and you are not married, include it but if you are married, ignore it. If you are applying for higher level positions, if you are married, include it but if you are single, remove it. If you are applying for entry position and you are less than 27, remove D.O.B, but if you are applying for higher level positions and you are more than 30 include it, but if you are less, remove. Pay attention to age requirement in the opening, but if not specified, follow the above advice. We look at age when recruiting. A 35 years old man recruited to fill an entry position is likely to be distracted looking for another job than a 26 year old fresh graduate. Age contributes to Staff Turn Over Rate and it is one metric we pay so much attention to. About your first question, like I said there is no concensus on CV format. Every format is good once it is presented professionally. Team Leader Ability to multi task Ability to work under no or minimal supervision Goal achiever These are stupid things to start your CV with, so avoid them. If you don't have a hard skill to include in your CV please never present your skills first. If the skill is not something that can give you edge over other applicants, please don't clutter the first page of your CV with them. In summary, Skill should be present first only when you are applying for a technical position. 1 Like |

Officialapcng, hello, I'd like you to shed more light into pursuing A career in Human Resource. Especially for a graduate of philosophy. Thank you. |

pomide:Believe me, it is one of the most lucrative jobs in Nigeria. Fortunately, it is under-rated, so the competition is still low. There is nothing like Advanced career in HOUR if you don't are not Chartered by law to practice, so I would advice you pursue a professional certification in Personnel Management. Chartered Institute of Personnel Management is reputable. Good luck and welcome to the club. 1 Like |
