Thank you for your kind words.

As per your question,reducing your age on your CV for the purpose of applying for a particular job is not advisable. Apart from it not corresponding with the age on your WAEC result,when found out that you lied,it can not only terminate your appointment with the firm but might even make the firm institute legal action against you.

Who knows,you may also want to contest for a public office later in the future and then someone may just go and dig this up. It's just better to play safe and not do this at all. Even with a sworn affidavit from court backing up your 'new' age,it is still not the best path to toe.

I hope this helps. #Insidify

Thanks a million for this thread. Is it important to add company's address and personal address to an online application's cover letter?

pls also endeavour to send the cv sample to princee.nosa@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your kind words.

As to your question, I'm not sure where the company's address comes in when writing your cover letter, I doubt if it does except you want to refer to the address as where you saw the vacancy (which is most unlikely). Your personal address is also not that pertinent. Having your email address and phone number on the cover letter is enough means of reaching you.

I hope this helps. #Insidify

Thank God it's Friday! Because we are passionate about your productivity and success, here are CV crafting tips for you.

Be sure not to

1. Get too personal
If the job description did not request you to put some personal information such as your birth details, photograph, religion, sexual orientation and political affiliation.

2. Include spelling errors and poor grammar
Around 50% of CVs that are received by recruiters contain spelling or grammatical errors. Do not let the recruiter read “Dear Sir or Madman”. It is good to have a friend to proofread your resume before you send it out.

3. Add irrelevant work experience
Read the job description of the post you are applying for so you include only important work experience that will let your CV stand out and yet fit the position you want.

4. Show off hobbies or oddities
76% of CVs are ignored by recruiters if the email address was unprofessional. Avoid using such email addresses such as sexybabe4luv@yahoo.com etc. Your future employers are not interested if you have ten different hobbies either.

5. Be negative
It is important to use positive language in your CV. Replace negative phrases with positive ones.
