Mistakes I Found In Most Cvs by PreciousOma(f): 6:53pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
#1. Poor Arrangement Of Information In CV 73% of the CV I have worked on has poor has poor arrangement of information. So, what information can be classified as your strength or weakness? Information such as academic qualifications(MBa,Msc,PhD, etc), big brand work experience and your and your achievements will stand as your strength. Your weakness, information such as your personal data (date of birth, your marital status, state of origin etc..) #2. Address Of Residence This has denied 80% of applicants the opportunity of getting their desired/ dreamed job. For example, let's say an employer in Abuja needs 20 qualified graduates, this is definitely a problem for an applicant whose address of residence is not in Abuja. But my advice is, if you have a relative in Abuja you can stay with, I will say you put the person's address of residence. That would guarantee you the job. #3. Absence Of Achievements Many CV I worked on did not mention achievement, the fee that did hid it inside a long lists of responsibilities. Your achievements is what makes you stand out from the crowd. Achievements is a personal possession and no other person can have same achievements with you. I have started receiving positive feedback from the CV I review, rewrite, because I use my experience to place their achievements properly on their CV. #4. Lack knowledge of cover letter. Almost 90% of the cover letter I review were poorly written. Note that there are companies that don't ask for cover letter. If the company do not ask for a cover letter there is no need of writing. It is in your cover letter that you have all the space to express your skills and achievements. You can tell how your skills have problems of employers, particular to your job function. You will have space to give details of your achievements. You can apply all these when writing your Cv and cover letter for yourself.
