Hi Fellow Nairalanders,

I have had the privilege of working briefly at ExxonMobil and longer at Deloitte Nigeria, and one of the things I noticed was how other job applicants were turned down simply because of how their CV looks which were not compelling enough and didn't make them look like strong candidates.

So working with the HR managers at these companies, I've come up with a sample CV which will give you a big edge over other applicants, and not only that, I explained how you can create yours and also contact almost any HR manager directly and present yourself in a way that they will want to engage with you further - even if no job was advertised.

It's 100% free; and I don't even ask for your email or phone. This is just my way of helping others to get good jobs fast.

Please go to my WordPress blog: [url]gbudoh.[/url] and download it from there.

And if you'd like to see what the CVs look like: here're two examples. You can get both formats and follow the instructions there to create yours. So far, at least 10 people have gotten jobs using the principles there. All the best.

Thanks bro.. more grease to ye

Well done

love the post..bless you brother.

The blessing comingyour way and your family just finished press up,see it pouring on you.

Wow. This is o carried.
Thanks for the share

That first CV will be given utmost priority if I were the HR.

OP, can you please explain to us if this format of yours won't be screened out when screened by ATS.

Absolutely cool

That Cv is just too rich. With such cv, no need looking for jobs.

Nice work of art.

Nice one @OP. Really attractive CV. I especially like the fact that you condensed it into one page. Shows you know how to prioritize information.
I am not so sure it is optimised for an ATS tho. All the same, nice one. Going to your blog now.

Sensational

nice one... bros whr u dey work nownice one... bros whr u dey work nownice one... bros whr u dey work now

There is no best cv format that can guarantees employment. God's mercy and favor superceeds all formats.Anyways thumbsup for the creativity/design.

Very nice format, but sadly the first CV won't pass the CV "6 seconds test" and the 2nd CV is not formatted for ATS (if the recruiter is using it to screen candidates)

No doubt its artistic, yet its distracting. Simple and less graphic is best!

I prefer the 2nd sha.

Hi everyone, thanks for the great comments. I'm glad I can help. Erm...the first CV is actually optimized for something better than the "6 seconds' test, it works for the "3 seconds" test. Every employer that has seen it - even just a glance - gave the applicant a second look, and wanted to talk to whoever it was who sent in the CV.

However, I don't really know so much about the format best suited for ATS because in both places I worked, I sent my CV to them directly. But I don't want to mislead people, please if you or anyone understands the best format for ATS, send me a mail at gbudoh@gmail.com and enlighten me please.

I'll review what I've done and see how to make it pass the ATS format as well. Thanks.

Thanks for that Adeniyi. Really helpful. I've looked through it and I think the 2nd option definitely passes the ATS screening. However, I'd suggest that people consider using the first version if they will be sending in their CVs directly.

Whichever the case, the eBook contains helpful tips to guide you in writing great content for your CV that will make you appear like a strong candidate whichever format you use, so for those who need it, you can still check it out. www.gbudoh.

I hope I have helped a few people at least. Logging off now. Got a lot of work to do. God bless you all.

great job bro.
u are appreciated

Please I want to ask if including referees to one's CV is now outdated

People prefer to say 'to be provided on request' so that you can inform the person before they are contacted. imagine having a referee you have not spoken to in years who has to boot before remembering who you are and your qualities. Better for you to decide the best referee to give your prospective employer during or after the interview. Many employers are familiar with this practise.

Depends on the kind of job your are applying for. It is often unnecessary for most job applications. However, you should include refrences when applying for jobs with international organisations and the government. The former usually does extensive background checks and often require a statement from the referees.

Cheers

@ Busybenson I want to know, did you use font 12, what is the font name, and is it A4 size? That's great work! I want to transform my cv to such. How can I do it?
