how can this country develop with people thinking the way you do? Seems you derive pleasure seeing people perish for their ignorance. Pls check that attitude. |

Thebrightest: People believe that i like not to say what i did not want to not say i said, because saying what was not said i say, may not have a say in what i did not say i won't say. This made me say that, not saying what people didn't say was not said by people, have no way of not really making me not to say the things not said.what is dis one saying, OMG MANGO IS OUT, |

With respect to item7, it is actually better to send cv as pdf imho. That is a universal format. I have had instances of documents created in word 2013 losing formatting when opened in word 2003 or 2007. Some also have issues printing out. You also need to include a pt raised by ajanlekoko about cv being 3 pages or less |

oyb: For people with very extensive work/project experience and training, you may be able to get away with 3 pages. For the rest of us, 2 pages. For freshers, anything after one page, nobody is going to read it. You are a fresher after all, what are you writing there? |

Mintayo: Nice but i don't really get that number 4,can someone explain better? The number 4 issue mostly happens to people who apply through a third party website. Some websites demand that you make applications through them just to create traffic to their websites then it is now forwarded to the requesting organisation. The organisation sees the emails coming in bulk and from a single source. Be wary of applying through third party websites. 1 Like |

tobiflink:without intending to shelve responsibility as owner and editor of the blog, let me state that the article was written by one of my writers (who's an HOUR professional). If you opened the link you should have seen that. That still doesn't mean Jarus himself cannot make errors. I do. |

oyb: All of that can still fit into one page. A simple format for a one-page CV is as follows: <Insert Name, personal details, and contacts (address and phone)> EDUCATION <insert college or equivalent education> <insert secondary education> PROJECT PARTICIPATION <list of any projects you have been involved with> WORK EXPERIENCE <any IT, NYSC, or holiday job can fit in here> REFERENCES Available on Request. Shikena. That can easily finish on one page. |
