Help A Brother Get That Job by Tnycee(m): 12:50am On Apr 12, 2015
I have been job hunting for quite a while now but nothing seems to be coming. I have decided to change strategy. I have decided to send in hard copies of my cv's to companies. Now i need expert advice on this;
1. should i also attach photocopies of my credentials to the cv im sending or should i reserve it until im invited for interview?
2. is it a good idea to send a hard copy and also go ahead to send a soft copy via email to the same company?
3. which postal service is better?
4 and please, what do you think would be an appropriate[b][/b] title (subject) of such mail.


Hope to get positive feedback from all the good people in the house.

Your approach will vary very slightly depending on your discipline, career of interest and the target firms. However, these are general guidelines:
1. You don't necessarily need to attach copies of your credentials to the cover letter and CV. It's not wrong if you do, but it's not necessary. They will demand for it if they are interested in you.
2. You may explore both options. However, state categorically in the email that you have sent hard copies as back-up.
3. lol. We all know fastest delivery options - DHL, UPS, Fedex, and even NIPOST's EMS. But you know they are more costly. I hear NIPOST normal mail service is very efficient now though not as fast as those mentioned earlier.
4. It depends on the firm, your discipline and the position of interest. I can't give you a blanket answer.

What's your educational qualification and course of study?

Thank you very much Sir...
I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical/ Electronics Engineering.
I graduated with a Second Class Upper.
I just need anything to do at the moment while believing God for something bigger.
If anybody can link me up, I'd be very grateful, then i will have a testimony.

Wow...good grade, marketable course. I just recently recommended 2 fresh engineering grads to the director of an indigenous oil servicing company. If your post had come a little earlier, I probably would have included your name. I must confess such opportunities don't come to me frequently though.
However, you can send me your CV. I am not promising anything as I'm just an ordinary employee myself. Besides, the oil industry (where I work) is on a downward trend as crude prices fall. Almost all oil servicing companies are currently 'rationalizing' (laying off) staff strength. IOCs are not exempted too.
However, I will look out for any opportunities (even outside the industry) and get back if I find any.

Cheers...

Thank you very much sir.
I believe that with God, there is always a way and God is never late.
I just sent you a mail on NL...I need you to respond so I can get your email address.
if you send me a blank message at joelastics480net@gmail.com(unofficial), I would also get your adress and reply with my CV.
Thanks again.
