globechamp: Good job @assalaamat and @adewasco

just to add a few cents

If it is possible and if permitted, it is preferable that you save your cv in pdf format. The reason why sometimes candidates dont get a response is that, your well prepared cv could appear messed up on the other side because of Microsoft office compatibility, fonts etc (some PCs dont have the font used for the cv and so will either distort the cv or wont open at all). While I agree that the standard presentation of a cv should be in Arial or Times New Roman, sometimes, some other fonts make could make your cv appear better and cleaner. That was when I changed my approach. When I used pdf, the CV will appear EXACTLY to the recruiter the way I prepared it.

Secondly, since last year, I have decided that my cv will never exceed 1 page. It took me weeks to summarize everything about myself to be able to fit into a single page. There are too many cvs to peruse, so what are the chances that the recruiter will scroll down. I decided to help them simplify their jobs. However, your 1 page CV MUST be ON POINT - neatly laid out, not cramped, and must give a concise summary of you background and your experience. Remember whatever you write must be relevant to the NEED of the recruiter.

What I shared above actually did improve the responses I have gotten since I decided to.
Remember, finding a job is a job in itself.

Let me stop here for now.

All the best guys

Re: Ideas for Cover Letter & CV Writing by Sike(m): 1:42pm On Sep 19, 2013
Hi Guys, i really need y'all to clear my mind on some questions relating to the issue here.
NOTE: These questions is only based on when one is applying in person and not through emails.
1) Must a cover letter be hand written or printed like the CV?
2) How best can it be submitted? (i.e folded inside an envelop both CV and cover letter or just straight/plain).
The reason i asked these questions is solely because i have a couple of organisations and companies i was thinking of applying to randomly, perhaps i might get lucky as there's no prior advertisement for a vacancy. So i think getting a printed cover letter with different addresses will be very difficult... Thank you!

Re: Ideas for Cover Letter & CV Writing by topygel: 9:02am On Dec 28, 2013
Please house, help me clear this issue of a cover lettter not having addresses and heading, I have seen some adverts several time asking us to forward our online application and CV via e-mail address, does it mean in this case, a cover letter should be sent or what?
Your contributions are needed ASAP. Thank you.
