Don’t Rely Solely on the Internet
When searching for a job, don’t depend
solely on the Internet. Be sure to attend job
fairs, industry events, and utilize other
networking opportunities to get your
resume out there.

Have an Elevator Speech
An elevator speech is a 30 second spiel
about your experience and career goals.
Having an elevator speech is not only a great
way to quickly introduce yourself at
networking events but is also a good way to
answer the “tell me about yourself”
interview question.

Curtis10:
This is actually not the best application lette, its just a sample

This cd rather be a'Cover Letter'. An application letter is quite different from application and they hv their unique characteristics and formats!

Sign Up for LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a great way to get all of your
professional contacts in one place for
networking. Sign up for LinkedIn, add
everyone you know, and make sure to fill
out your profile completely. LinkedIn also
has a job search tool, so take advantage of
that.

Send Thank You Notes
After every interview, be sure to send thank
you notes to each person who interviewed
you. Sending a thank you note shows that
you appreciate the interviewer’s time and
gives you an advantage over candidates
who don’t send thank you notes.

Basic Interview Questions:
Tell me about yourself.
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
Why do you want this job?
Where would you like to be in your career
five years from now?
What's your ideal company?
What attracted you to this company?
Why should we hire you?
What did you like least about your last
job?
When were you most satisfied in your
job?
What can you do for us that other
candidates can't?
What were the responsibilities of your last
position?
Why are you leaving your present job?
What do you know about this industry?
What do you know about our company?
Are you willing to relocate?
Do you have any questions for me?

one on this thread:
Do Your Research
Before you go in for your interview, be sure
to research the company you are applying
to. By having an in depth understanding of
the company as well as some background
information on whoever is interviewing you,
you will come across as prepared and
interested in the company.

Curtis10: Send Thank You Notes
After every interview, be sure to send thank
you notes to each person who interviewed
you. Sending a thank you note shows that
you appreciate the interviewer’s time and
gives you an advantage over candidates
who don’t send thank you notes.

how do u get this done?

Curtis10:

Curtis10: Utilize Your Network
Reach out to the people in your professional
network for their assistance in your job
hunt. Oftentimes when it comes to getting
hired, it’s not what you know but who you
know. So send along your resume and have
your contacts pass it along to anyone they
know at their HR department.

i think dis should work in nigeria

There is no fast way to creating a super impresive cv to get shortlisted. The best cv is that which conforms to the recruiters specification.
Outside the above, excluding ur bio data try has much as posible to start with ur skills if u are a fresher and next with ur pofesional and academic qualification starting with d most recent.
If you are experiencd start with ur work experience adequately stating ur work responsibilies and achievements. Remeber your achievement is key.
