4 Reasons Your CV Might Not Get Past The Receptionist by freemanjay: 12:03am On Jan 18, 2016
Job seekers must have heard the line, “Drop your CV we will contact you” like a billion times.

Job hunting can be very frustrating and many job seekers have undoubtedly experienced not being called for an interview after leaving their CV with the receptionist. Though some organizations are kind enough to alert you to acknowledge the receipt of your resume, a majority of the others will not.

Efritin.com explains some of the reasons why your CV might not get past the receptionist. Please note that this list is not exhaustive. So feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section

1. CVs with the 'Copy' and 'Paste' effect: Most unemployed graduates have the same CV format. The ‘Profile summary’ section is the most copied and recycled in CV writing and research has shown that 3 in every 10 persons has the same profile summary format. The most explored means of writing a CV in Nigeria is paying computer centers to build one.

Not that it is a terrible idea, but allowing others to write your CV does not always express your abilities and also a thousand others will have the same word text in your CV with the difference being your personal details. It is important that every job seeker knows how to write a CV.

2. CVs that do not match the job requirements: It is typical to see a job seeker apply for a job that probably requires far more experience, or even a certain educational background than what they have and then resort to praying that they get it. News Flash! Most organizations will most likely not want to waste their time and only get to consider those that fit into their requirements.CLICK HERE FOR MORE TIPS
