Coming up with a well written, concise CV is one of the hardest tasks ever.

HR Managers and recruiting officers have thousands of CVs to go through. Therefore, your CV can be disqualified simply because of small mistakes here and there and maybe, just maybe, that is why you are not getting call backs from potential employers.
Here’s how to come up with the perfect CV:



1. Unnecessary personal information :
Anything besides your name, email address and contact information should not be included on your CV. Details such as your tribe, age, height, weight and religion are minor details that no one cares about.

Age, Marital status, number of children... all important in Academic CV

There's no one size fits all template or requirements!
While a good coherent clear resume is necessary, the name the file is saved as is unimportant, the inclusion of pictures or not is unimportant, just make sure you highlight all your work experience, even if it was a summer vacation job it makes for good diversity in the overall picture of you as person.
But most importantly is your network, meet people sell yourself, be a very interesting person.
Speak very well and communicate your passion.

Also, eBay uses buyers protection to make their marketplace very safe & secured one.

Aliexpress currently offer more than 11 million unique consumer products across m than 4,000 categories, ranging from apparel and accessories to consume electronics to jewelry and more.
Ever Buying – This is another stop sp to shop for Mobile Phones, Cheap Laptops & Tablets but the site is mai filled up with Chinese products just li Aliexpress.
DH Gate – DHGate is a Chinese Wholesale Marketplace for Small and Medium Buyers interested in purchas Directly from China Manufacturers wit Extensive catalog, free drop shipping, wholesale discount, express door-todoor shipping, escrow service.

Don't know why some over sabi people are condemning this educative post. Tell them now to write a standard CV, believe you me they won't be able to handle it but they're busy here rattling on why this made fp. Sometimes l feel pity for these kind of people. Always negative, especially when it has to do with others. Their own achievement is to condemn. Nothing to show other than condemnation. Nawaaoo!

It baffles me when one would spend 10-15 years of his/her life schooling and after that Still goes back to work with some company or organization. cause he's being paid he or she will be like "Thank God I've achieved my dream job" seriously? you spend 15 years of your life studying, and you still end up working under SOMEBODY and you call that an achievement? so after those years, you couldn't come up with a reasonable idea. what a waste.

Keep it under 2 pages, clear no borders or funny colors.
Don't repeat yourself i interview programmers alot.

Some say they know Jquery... I mostly recommend JavaScript developers not Jquery, Angular etc...

JavaScript developers don't need libraries for reason of dependancies etc...

My people, Saraki's father was a Senate President and till his son, Saraki who is equally now the Senate President attained his current position, i dont think he has ever written CVs in his life. We are only victims of unfair/unjust political situation in this country. Without connection, u go write CV taya. A very shameful country!!!

10. Career objective:
Rather than writing a summary of what you want, tell the employer what you’re capable of and if hired, what you will bring to the table.












Lastly, remember to keep it short, error free, simple and at maximum, 2 pages!

2. Education Background
If you are a university graduate or have a college diploma then you do not need to include all your other education details. Your university degree is your highest level of education and that’s all that matters. If you are yet to graduate, you can include both the secondary school and the university where you’re currently enrolled and for which course.
3. Grades
Related to number 2, if you got a D- in your final exams or a GPA of 1.88, why! oh why would you include that in your resume? No offense but no one will hire a dimwit. Remove that shame on your resume and show the employer that you’re smart beyond your grades at the interview.
. I don't agree with your number two. Assuming i have a NCE in Bio/Chem, and B.Sc in chemistry, and applying for a teaching position in a well reputed school. Don't you think that my NCE is necessary in my CV?

Did this guy just say "No one cares about your age"?

Oh no he didn't! grin grin

what he meant is you don't have to put your age in your cv except it is specifically stated. I mean, if you are 30 why would you keep putting your date of birth on a cv if applying for a graduate trainee job?
it's definitely going to count against you.

I have never put my date of birth on any of my resumes that got me jobs.

I have never believed in CVs in Nigeria. Though it may be a factor of recruitment in private firms but not in public / government establishments. The only CV we should all seek to get is connection. 2 of my friends are presently working in some first class companies in Nigeria without test nor interviews. Not even sure they submitted cv

I dont totally agree with this. How can your career objective not include what you want in your career/ career desires? Then its not an objective bro, just call it another name

I swear... its funny how they all contradict themselves one way or the other.. i recently went for a seminar when the HR was saying we should always include at least 2 references on our CV. Few days later another HR said its better to leave it out because it is unnecessary and consumes space. I just tire.

Focal point is we should forget all these formats this formats that and just display necessary experience/educational qualifications on our cv with respect to the Job. You will be called if you seem to able to the job.
