just to add a few cents

If it is possible and if permitted, it is preferable that you save your cv in pdf format. The reason why sometimes candidates dont get a response is that, your well prepared cv could appear messed up on the other side because of Microsoft office compatibility, fonts etc (some PCs dont have the font used for the cv and so will either distort the cv or wont open at all). While I agree that the standard presentation of a cv should be in Arial or Times New Roman, sometimes, some other fonts make could make your cv appear better and cleaner. That was when I changed my approach. When I used pdf, the CV will appear EXACTLY to the recruiter the way I prepared it.

Secondly, since last year, I have decided that my cv will never exceed 1 page. It took me weeks to summarize everything about myself to be able to fit into a single page. There are too many cvs to peruse, so what are the chances that the recruiter will scroll down. I decided to help them simplify their jobs. However, your 1 page CV MUST be ON POINT - neatly laid out, not cramped, and must give a concise summary of you background and your experience. Remember whatever you write must be relevant to the NEED of the recruiter.

What I shared above actually did improve the responses I have gotten since I decided to.
Remember, finding a job is a job in itself.

Let me stop here for now.

All the best guys

Bro thanks for this enlightenment o, more grease to your elbow... Pls send me a sample CV of 1 page format. Thanks in anticipation.

assalaamat: You're definately expected to send both ur cv and a cover letter whether they ask for it or not,it's a letter that indicates your interest in a job and it must not contain your address,u'll only start with sir/madam on the top left- hand corner,followed by the body and normal letter conclusion,do not write any heading i.e "Application For the Post of........",these are the differences b/w a cover letter and an application letter.They must definately be sent via attachment,and the position you are applying for will be the subject of ur mail.mind u,you're expected to wait at least 1week after the expiration of the job advert,except in the case of bank's&oil company's jobs,which could take at least 3-4weeks before u're contacted.I hope this helps,Good luck bro.

Bro thanks for this enlightenment o, more grease to your elbow... Pls send me a sample CV of 1 page format and a coverletter. Thanks in anticipation; mail is: okwukwekaogbufor@yahoo.com.
