please i need some one good to access this cv , heard it's the best in town now, i mean most acceptable!!
thanks!
critics welcome!

Uuuuum, is your personal info, like DOB and Marital status suppose to be in a resume? . Thats new

@ lauryn in nigeria all those things are part of a CV, we don't really have resumes and its usually more than a page
quite different from the USA or canada for that matter. north america is not the end all and be all of everything u know

ok, gotcha

gigette u right

u  wanna  hear  the  truth, cos  truth  hurts!!!

ur  cv  aint  so  good, y didnt u use resume  wizard?.its  the  best  4 producing  neat  cvs.also  ur  cv  is  too unwieldly, trim  it  down  to  2pages, an  entry  level  cv  shudnt  b  more  than  2 pages!!!,
n in ur education history.just  use  the  particular  date, ie  2004  bsc  geography,
if u dont  know how  to  use resume  wizard, find  a  buis  center  that  does!!!


n u shudnt  have  posted   ur  cv  here,
its  in  careers  that u  shud  post  it!!!

well it isn't bad but resumes especially for young graduates are not supposed to be more than a page as we were told during our service year.it is advisable that you resume be as precise and concise as possible for easy accessibility.

hey your resume is not that bad, kudos to u cos believe me some graduates cant write a presentable.however i think the following corrections will help you.

1.Your personal details should be on top of ur CV with ur contact details.cos its an introducation to who you are.can u imagine giving a speech.talking on the topic then introducing your self.

2.Its not necessary for you to give the full address details of your past work locations.just the company name,state or country if its outside nigeria will do.then its brief and straight.

3.From i CV serminal i attended.it is better not to add your references to your CV.WHY? becos imagine if you are a previous employer or referee and had 5 calls asking for reference on just one of ur previous staff.u may get upset/frasturated and not be as receptive as you should be.there by sending negative notions.when the right employer comes.plus its not wise sending out personal details of other people.you dont know where it may end up. belive me there is always a form for your referee no one is going to get em off your CV.furthermore it makes your CV unnecessary long if you just lookin to lenghten you CV.try addin skill(ie team players,microsoft trained,good communication skill,customer riented etc or you could add your past associations/club memberships eg your department associations,awards etc.or social leadership roles eg treasurer,social directior etc.it really helps alot in selling your self in place of your referee details just put.AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

Lastly i think your CV could use a more professional format.like i always say,packaging matters.the way is package is wat you get.so package big ie pro

most importantly your CV is a way of selling urself.u ve 2 go the extra mile cos employers see loads of CV.and may not ve time 2 read the whole lot.

hope these points help you, sorry 4 any wrong spellings am not one to crosscheck.lol.Good Luck

ebube yes you can, take care

@Lovestinks,
I really enjoyed your post. I wish i was @ the seminar.

@sopesupi,
I belive the best advice on your c.v. has been given by LOVESTINKS so take note of her points.

for a fresher like you, a 3 page cv is useless and i advise you trim it down to at most 2 pages.

i wrote a cv once, i print it on here, mine wasnt like that, personal information at the top

Hello house check out my CV ,I need advice on how to better improve it.I know it might be too good,so i will appreciate help to make it better.
Still serving anyway?But i believe all experience i had before should be stated,but because i was avoiding much page,i have to remove the one i had in NEPA 3month industrial training @ Ijora Generating station.
Then to Sope,Hw ABJ?And dont forget you some small boys in JIGAWA OH!The best

you dont really have to put your Religion, state of origin and local government do you

and the +234(0) 80- - - in your phone number, since you are applying for a job in nigeria theres no point puttin international dialing could is there?

LoverBwoy:


e be like say naija format dey totaaly different

I think so too.

Apart from that I think Ehiwere's format looked presentable

Hey all,

Love the way all the comments are going back forth. A real good way of helping each other out!!

I think anyone who wants to write a good CV should check this link out http://www.alec.co.uk/resume-examples/index.htm. The format is really for Europe and the USA, but at least it gives good advice on
the types of CV that there are and how the right CV can really highlight your particular circumstance.

By the looks of it sopesupi, your CV is going to need some tidying up. I believe that looking at the samples on this site will help you out a lot.

@ nilla
i don't really think its presentable, it looks a bit  , the fonts, the bullet point (that arrow thingy), it looks congested too

Ehiwere, you can do without the footer

try clicking on what Tayorich posted, and copy some of the format, it will make your Cv stand out

Thanks ,i will try check that out.when i finally leave the camp.
