Info On Kpmg(urgent)
« on: November 10, 2006, 08:13 PM »

hello all,
please i need information on KPMG as regards employment.i am a job seeker,i read polymer and textile engineering with 2.1 and have not been gainingfuly employed,written several tests and attented some interviews but have not been successful.
i have practically no experience and have an age barrier(28).
The issue now is that i have been directed to take my CV to the head of Hr KPMG and have been advised to prepare a good CV.I really don't know if the Cv i have now suits well 4  this organisation and i read from their site that the age limit is 26.
I am attaching my Cv for someone to help put me through on how best to outline it going by the information on it.

 Chinyere, I spent some time job hunting also, don't worry i know u will get something soonest. I would have loved to spend  some time on your cv but quite busy now. If u don't mind i will do that after 17th november.

U made a very good effort in writing your cv though i have some suggestions to make:


Remove the objectives if u can. remove the royal computer academy stuff too, everyone is expected to be computer literate and so it doesn't add to your education. u can include this in your skills but don't mention the name of the computer school. in your Other Skills section, just add : Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, or u can list them e.g Computer Skills: Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. please don't mention the computer school where u got the certificate and don't include the certificate among your credentials, nobody cares about this.

change the format of your date of birth, try using something like, 4th June, 1978. 0r 04/06/78

and please try to spend some time on your cv to make the needed corrections, your use of capitalisation is poor, i noticed some words beginning in capitals in the middle of some sentences, u have to be consistent whichever way u choose. U will definitely give a bad impression to your recruiters if your cv is littered with typos and merged words which u couldn't seperate using your space bar

there are a lot of underlined errors. u have to hit the space bar in some places, it should be NYSC and not nysc, in the work experience section, please avoid using the word "observed", it doesn't say something positive about u, u have to use some "power" verbs that indicate u were involved. explaining that Dr Onu is the Asuu chairman is unnecessary, remember to add P M B 1526 to the FUTO address and write University of Technology and not Unitech.

most employers are not interested in your personal (private life) info, so change that title to something like 'Leadership Qualities': Senior Prefect, blabla school, 19xx academic session. remove the honesty stuff and u can just say : Responsible for the payment of staff salary during internship. And before i forget, use the word internship and not placement, doesn't matter though

in my opinion i will like u to use Skills or Personality Profile instead of skills and abilities, i feel u should just list those interpersonal skills and leave out the details. those details will be needed during your interview. u can also include the details in your cover letter. if u don't know how to write a very good cover letter, try to learn, because it is a way of making a good first impression

if your SSCE was excellent, u can add something like this SSCE, 8 distinctions, 1 credit, etc

good luck
