I don write all kinds of CV, bt bros, I still dey house ooh.... I don do all the tins u mentioned above, but who don call me?

Nt even a call or txt to tell me dat I don't fit in for the job, not to mention interview.

Even if u write d best proffessional CV and ur nt connected or favored, u r on ur own. U will see d most dumb guy with d worse CV being taken.

All CVs always end wit d receptionist or at d reception or security post if u dnt hav sum1 to push it 4ward. Except ur favoured by God.

So no one shud create such thread here again to avoid getting men provoked

I know how hard it could be especially when you got a time frame for yourself. If you think your CV is correct in all angle, have you tried
searching the right places like agencies, internet and even some companies direct website?

Do not worry just go through your CV again to check if there was an error you did not see before, After that believe that a day will come when you will be putting on your suit ready for work with your car keys at your dressing table trying to rush out of the house to beat traffic. it will happen bro do not throw all hope to the wind......

Absolutely true.

All these are delay tactics, they get you so worried about how your CV looks you spend more time working on the perfect CV and less time looking for actual work.

You worry about the font, the line spacing, bullet points, indentation, whether you can fit all content on one page, spelling errors, etc.

Meanwhile, while you're worrying over your CV, about 20 incompetent arseholes with sloppy CVs and good connections have been employed.

But you can be a little bit polite in a public forum bro. you never know whom might pick interest in your case.

I only ask if you can recheck the CV for possible error. All you should have done was tell me that you have been doing that for some time. not dishing out F word indiscriminately.....

I understand how you feel bro. many has been in that situation. but try and learn to speak politely. not for me but just for your own good.
You never know when they will call you for an interview and One of the panel angrily looked at you and asked "we have seen your CV and certificate just like other candidate. what is so special about you, WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU" And you just throw an F word like a bomb thinking she was insulting you. wink

Using "F" word doesn't mean dat m rude, my guy.... If u check d statement, u would see that it doesn't hav anytin 2do with me being rude cos I didn't say "Bleep u" and all dat grin

. Sometimes its just our mentality in this country tho. No offense pls...

D fact dat I used F word here doesn't mean dat I use it wen havin a conversation or an interview....
