We agree. As an African Recruitment Agency, we see several applications in a day and sometimes the candidates have no clue if they fit in the job or not. how will they work at the position if they dont know whether they fit or can fit in!

Good point bro. Though there're are some available jobs but the numbers are too small compared to d teeming job seekers.

Thank you for your efforts @ OP.
It should have been better if you have shown us a world-class CV sample so that we can see our mistakes.
I am of the opinion that once someone secures a job, he sees himself as an invincible person and considers others who are unemployed as empty brains.
I just can't see the difficult task in writing a good CV. Moreover, CV will not do the job. If I may ask, will you throw away the CV of an expert in clinical nutrition who applied for a position in a beverage producing company simply because he/she could not write a good CV? The fact still remains that we place much emphasis on unnecessary issues.
An array of good CVs carefully filed in an office contributes nothing to the profit making of the organization. Competent workers do.
Between 1999-2008, most banks usually come to ABU, Zaria to recruit her graduates with minimum of 2-1 who are willing to build a career in the banking industry. NB Plc used to do the same for microbiology, biochemistry and chemical engineering graduates.
Today, nobody cares because we produce much more graduates than employers need.

And how do you prove you're competent enough to be employed if your CV/cover letter says other wise?
First impression matters; the only way you can get the attention of an employer is via your CV/cover letter

[please could you show us an example of a good CV which you believe is the reason for youth or graduate unemployment?]

I agree with you. Pls do not feel that I am claiming to have a monopoly of knowledge. Am just speaking from the number of CVs that I as an employer have simply deleted or ignored, and why. I feel that the application is a first place to start. Others may be able to recognise a good professional from a bad application, I dont doubt their omniscience. i also feel that if you follow this thread, you will see that it is one of a series of solutions.. But generally, there is a problem of job scarcity, so why not put your best foot forward, starting from your email application?

Insanity: @OP
What of this;
'To obtain a position in an organization with construction knowledge, high mechanical aptitude and commitment to safety, where i make effective contributions individually or within a team.'
Note- applying to a construction firm.

Why is obtaining a position your objective? Makes you sound a bit desperate. Also watch your grammar. What is "construction knowledge?".

Try dropping the objective completely. This is a construction firm, so I guess you are technical. For this employment type, blowing grammar no go work here, so cut to the chase. Have you got skills, experience? Highlight those instead. Include the machines and projects you have worked on as part of your cv, outlining the core roles you played, and the client's name. Attach a technical drawing to your cv. Do something different but highly relevant..

spicy v:

What position actually? Cleaner? Accountant? Business Manager? Your objective should portray how your career goals aligns with the organizations goals.

I would say, " I seek to build a fulfilling career in Administration, by contributing my quota θf innovative professionalism as a team player within a structured organization, focused on proffering specialized construction and safety needs".
you sound so learned' which school did you graduate from?
